 side of the agreement.
 But, despite this, we are of the
 opinion and also we hope that the
 next two or three days will see
 things cleared up and the series get
 going. This wrangle at the present
 time seems to be serious, but we
 know and feel that the, various teams
 will submerge their own differences in the feeling that the sporting pub
 lie of this city wants to see the teams in action.
 There has been some heated dis cussion about the latest tieup con- corning the city championship and lot of fans are condeming the Fall cons for their stand in the matter. No one can say but that the Fall cons are following out their own plans in putting forth their proposi- tions. They feel that they are going into a proposition that wouldn't give them a fair return for the effort and expense they have been putting forth in playing base ball this year. It is not for us or anyone else to condemn them before this matter is entirely understood.
 We don't believe for one minute that the Falcons are afraid to play any team in this city It is simply business proposition, in their minds and not one of whether they can or cant beat the Red Sox. They know their own business better than any, one else and If they want to call off the city series, sorry as many of the fans will be, it Is the business of the Falcons and noaone else.
 Still, we string along with a lot of others who cannot believe that the city series is all done. We ad- here to the old time adage that says something to the effect that a pro- position which is slept on, seems q different one than it at first ap- peared. |
 The miX-up which ended the Bur 1, ritt-Pirate game Saturday will have to be settled at league meeting. It i was wild finish. With the bases loaded and one out. Huggie Carlson singled to score two runs, but Za- patka was caught at third and Marsh appeared to wave Carlson out when the ball was whipped to second to get him. The umpire, however, said he had called Huggie safe, but this misunderstanding was swallowed in greater one an in- stant late when Partyka used the excitement to work the hidden ball play and touched Carlson off the base.
 Marsh was fooled as much as Carlson and admitted he had not seen the play, ruling the runner safe. Mike Lynch came out from be- hind the bat and called Carlson out and the Pirates protested on the ground that Lynch could not change Marsh's decision
 D. tain does seek reversal of the de- ciston ........., the umpire mak- ing the decision shall, if he is in doube, ask his associate for informa- ton before acting on the captains appeal. Under no circumstances shall either umpire criticize or iu- terfere with decision unless asked to do so by his associates" It thus q appears that the validity of the pro- l test hangs on whether Lynch acted t on his own responsibility or was t asked for advice by Marsh. Not r knowing what the umpires said dur r ing their short talk on the play, we g can't say which is the case. a Home runs and near home runs " were frequent Saturday. Cowles and e Jarnot made real ones, terrific l drives. Willie Roy, cherubic catch f' CT of the Robins, also hit one, but V his numbering gait carried him only I to second on drive which went cuear to the other diamond. Yan- k kaskas of the Pirates lashed out F wicked one down the foul line and S careened madly around the bases. only to find when he reached the " plate that it was a foul ball. Wind " ed and disheartened, he famed on I the next pitch.
 Carlson did all the freak things " possible for pitcher. In addition to D D ! pair of wild pitches. he also made II l balk and even had a ball" called VI Or delaying. But he finally stop s' ned the smashing attack of the Bur o' tits and punctured several top leavy batting averages.
