Eastern Shore Leader Places Blame
For Umpire Row on Crisfield Club

1t could easily have been prevented by
the officers present had proper pro-
visions been taken to keep the spec
tators Off the playing field. e
Your rejoinder will no doubt be that
your grounds had not been previously
inspected. and /, as your president.
had failed I'm my duty.
/ admit that I did not visit your
grounds until yesterday, the 10th. but
had / visited the grounds before June
.. I would not hnve helped you in the
matter. My inspection would have
been limited to tho distance OF the
home plate from tho fence surround
ing the field. the location of the grand
stand and the bloachers and the gen
eral condition OF the playing field. just
as / did when OH the grounds yester-
day.
Your grounds are properly provided
with buildings and gates 30 as to make
it possible for you to keep all spec
tators off the playing field. and the
fact that you did not use your facili-
ties and keep tho spectators off the
playing field is the underlying cause
of tho provoked assault.
MY GuiinB Is tildL you nave fNen
derclict in not taking the proper pre-
caution to assist your officers in doing
their duty and you are 10 that extent
responsible for the assault.
| My penalty is: First. that you shall
pay all expenses incurred by Mr..
Knowlton as the result OF his fnjur-
les. so long as he remained in your
city.
Second: That you shall pay all ex-
penses Of the umpire employed TO take
Mr.. KnowltOn's place until Mr.. KnOwl

lease him.
The penalty. you must agree. is tho
minimum that ! can impose in justice
TO Mr.. Knowlton and tho league.
MIR. Knowlton certainly is not
responsible for his injuries and should
not pay.
The league is an innocent party, and
should not assume the cost OF the as

As soon as Mr.. Knowlton IS able tC

championship event, he threw his
right front shoe in the seventh lap,
and finished the race on three in the
most exciting and closest race ever
seen in this city, beating his nearest
competitor over the line in a fraction
Of more than a second.
Jimmy has a warm spot in his
heart for Wilmington and those who
attend these races. He was over
whelmed with congratulations for his
splendid showing during his last ap-
pearance and IS coming back on the
Fourth of July determined to uphold
his reputation.

ly after 6 o'clock.
Several upsets took place in the wo-
mems doubles. The beating ad-
ministered TO Miss Balm and Miss
Bayard by Miss Baker and Miss
