rough, was challenged to play the
game with the understanding that the
winner of the game was to be ad-
judged the champion team of the fac
tory.
Manager Warner sprung surprise
in the person of Jury, a former big
league pitcher, who at one time had
a try out with the Boston Americans
When Jury once settled down to his
task he threw them past the regu-
lars with the speed of bullet. He
averaged two strike outs every in
ming. Hoffman pitched for the regu-
lars and when he was taken out the
score stood all. Hughes then took
up the work and was pounded for 3
runs which put the game on ice.
The high spots Of the game was
the amount of abuse the umpires alb
sorbed without whiting. Their jobs
were anything but bed of roses and
their courage will never be, doubted
after the mastery manner in which
they stood up before the gaff hurled
at them.
Umpire Joe Ireton borrowed a pair
of smoked glasses from Elmer Austin
and great improvement was noted in
his work after this acquisition.
Silent Walter Pop" Graham, UNI
pire on bases, who appeared anchored
to one position acquitted himself in
a noble manner. He gave, decisiop
which the crowd did not like and
rushed on the field after him. He
was escorted to his home by Con-
stable Hackett.
After the game the All Stars were
the guests of Manager Warner at a
dinner in Hartford.
A challenge was hurled at the All
stars this morning by William Nc
Carroll for a game to be played for
800 and the town hall.
