CLOSE PLAY AT PLATE
PREcIPITATES UPHEAVAL

JERSEY CITY. N. j.. June 2s.-
Wild scenes marked the opening
inning Of the second game of the
twin bill between the Orioles and
6keeters yesterday. Becoming
peeved at decision by Umpire Bill
Phyle, rabid local fans surged upon
the field menacingly and it took
quick work by q Gordon of police
20 get them back in the stands
and prevent a young riot. During
the remainder Of the tilt the
official was a target for verbal
abuse and had to be escorted from
the field after the battle.
The decision which caused the
trouble came when Porter and
Boley executed a double steal. The
FORMER was on third and the latter
on first as the theft started. Fret.
tags throw to get Boley was re.
turned and, on a close play, Porter
was ruled safe at the plate. Fret.
tag became roaring mad and di.
rected a barrage Of choicy Ian.
guage at Phyle, who waived him
from the park. 1t was then that
the excitement began.

Of YANKS
Americans Lightheartedness
on Links Reminds Sandy
Of Laughter in Church.

Sandy Herd says that American
golfers do not play with the dead
" earnestness of players abroad.
Perhaps" he says in his new
book, "most of all coveted their
high spirits, which even robbed golf
of it's solemnity. They do not play
golf as men play chess. but in the
jauntiest manner, and 1t struck me
as wonderful to hear them joking
with each other during the keenest
contest.
ut was almost like laughing in
the kirk, a thing not done in Scot
land, as far as can remember"
Herd, in telling about his start
in golf, says: ~ started at the
bottom. Even before being a caddie,
was barefooted golfer in the
streets in the gray old city of St..
Andrews. Shinny-sticks and cham
payne corks served as the nipple
ments of the game and 1ampposts
served as flags"
In his first championship tourna-
ment Herd had four clubs, driver,
spoon, a cleek, and an iron. He
had no putter or no bag. and his
younger brother carried his clubs
to save caddie fees.

RIOT FOLLOWS GAME IN
WHICH UMPIRE Is BOOED

SALISBURY, Md. June U.s.
Umpire Brennan received several
blows and much rough treatment
after the Salisbury Parksley game
here yesterday, in which the latter
was victor in 6-to-5 score. I'm.
mediately after the last putout was
made in the final session half the
stands rushed on the field and the
arbiter was badly cuffed by the
irate fans. Corporal Busch, of the
State police force, and Sheriff John
II. Farlow escorted the umpire
from the field and provided a guard
to his room.
Numerous decisions made by
Brennan in previous contests at
Gordy Park have been continuously
booed by the local and visiting fans,
and appeared decidedly wrong from
their viewpoint. The arbiter is
well known to Salisbury fans, hav-
ing been member of the local
club two years ago, but was re-
leased

Whereupon, the champions man
Of business climbed aboard sleep
er and departed, leaving to the curl.
Gus Jim johnson the privilege OF
figuring out the whereabouts OF The
missing 100000, the $4,000 owed
on the fight arena, the $4,000 due
on his note to George H. Stanton,
the Great Falls banker, and any
number of trifling details which,
Mr.. johnson will assure you, are a
mere nothing. Mr.. Johnson simply
breathes optimism from every pore,
and he has many.
He is the man that Kearns blamcs
for the condition of affairs that
casts q frightening shadow of doubt
over the possibility that the Denlp-
eey-Gibbons enterprise will be con-
Quoted, as scheduled.
According to KearTlS, il was
JOfnsOIl'S careless regard for fact
that resulted in the delay in pay
ing the second 100000 due on
the champions guarantee and
weakened public confidence In the
match to the extent that tickets
are selling one at q time, II ut all.
ION June is, I called johnson on
the long distance telephone from
Butte and asked him IL the money
was ready" Kearns said. IF it
wasn't, informed him, / was ready
to do whatever could in helping
him raise the money.
''EIis reply was that he wished
he was as certain of becoming
President Of the United States as
I was OF getting the money. He
came right out flat footed and said
that he had the money to pay the
guarantee.
"If he had taken me into his
confidence, think the situation
,e0uld have been saved and the
people of Montana and the West
would have come on to see a real
fight for the heavyweight cham
plonship."
Whatever action Kearns may
elect to take in the event that the
final installment turns up missing,
as expected, he will lose prestige
az a gentleman and a manager. II
he walks out on the Shelby arrange
xnents, the entire country will con-
denim him for what 1t will be pleased
20 term his lack Of craftsmanship.
II he sends Dempsey into the
ring for the same money the latter
would get for taking the first train
East, he will be held blame
worthy by the champion for having
made him another poor bargain.
We have no means Of knowing
just how Dempsey may regard
this latest venture on the part
Of his manager. Off-hand, how
ever, we would say that he is
about as pleased as man with
. mouthfuI Of paregOric.
It is a matter of record that
Kearns matched Dempsey with Bill
Brennan for July 4, last, at Michi-
gan City and both were waited off
the horizon by the authorities ere a
cash customer had breasted the box
office. Meantime, lucrative engage
ments in New York and elsewhere
were allowed to go by default.
In fact. Kearns even goes so far
as to declare that he passed up an
offer from Tex Richard for a Demp-
eey.Gibbons bout on July 4, just to
accommodate Shelby in the present
instance. Why?
We were equally curious. Mr.
Kearns was at somewhat of a loss
20 explain this singular decision,
but finally rallied with the obvious.
The Shelby promoters, it seemed,
had $4,000 in hand when they ap.
preached him to talk business. and
the sight of the money was like
gelatine to an epileptic He took
the money first and then asked
what 1t was all about afterward. He
was still asking
