Uncle Tom Zachary is due to try

As soon as the fans realized

crowd of some 1900. As q re-
suit, when Umpire Rowland
walked out to his position at

heard. Ii seemed as though the
fans appreciated his troubles and
were willing to give him q
chance, just as he had given one
TO Harris.
President Griffith had accused
Rowland of ''vlndictiveness' toward
the home players and OF affecting a
careless attitude toward the fans. |"
1t was to clear away this idea that
the umpire visited the Washington
magnate, comforting with him for
half an hour.
Rowlapd convinced Griffith Of his
wish to be completely fair in his
work, that he thoroughly appre.
ciated the Importance Of this series
here and that, at least In d sense, he
made it possible for Harris to jostle
him, thereby mourning Punishment.
