RESERVES CALLED
TO GUARD UMPIRE
Fans, Irate Over Decisions,
Wait After Game to "Razz"
Rowland.

Clarence Rowland, who officiated as
umpire behind the plate during yester-
days base ball game, which was won
by the Yankees, to 3, was late to his
dinner last night, when police reserves
maneuvered for more than an hour to
shield him from the fury of a crowd of
5000 fans and finally succeeded in
spiriting him away from the park in
iris Speakers automobile with one
sergeant and two privates standing
guard on the running board.
Rowland incurred the violent dis.
pleasure Of the 5000 fans in the third
inning. when he banished "Bucky"
Harris when the National manager
heatedly protested an apparently low
and wide ball, which the umpire called
a third strike.
Bluege Refused Base.
Throughout the six remaining in
nings Rowland repeatedly called ap.
parently bad balls strikes and occa-
sionally good ones balls to the frank
dissatisfaction of both the Yankees
and the Nationals. Hoots and cat calls
thundered over the diamond on each
occasion.
The last straw came in the ninth
inning when Bluege apparently was
hit by pitched ball, but Rowland
refused to let him take his base. 1t
resulted in the crowd making a mad
dash for Rowland the moment Koenig
threw out Reeves for the final out.
Whereas the crowd had thrown pa.
per orangeade containers and straw
hats at Rowland on several occasions
during the game, they became bold at
it's conclusion, and, as Rowland was
hustled down into the locker rooms
under the escort Of Capt. Robert
Doyle one fan attempted to strike him.
Police Reserves Called.
The crowd failed to file out as usual
and assembled about the Washington
dugout. Acting upon the tip of those

entrance and in the parking space
outside of the locker room exit.
For nearly an hour the crowd de.
manded Rowland's appearance. In the
meantime Capt. Doyle had sent for re.
serves and more than a dozen police
men good-naturedly kept the crowd in
leash.
Each time the barred locker room
door was opened a new roar would
come from the crowd in the hope that

ais was given an ovation as he ap-
peared, but iris Speaker was chaffed
when the dapper-looking outfielder, In
his street clothes, attempted to per-
suade the crowd to go home and in
formed them Rowland already had left
the park.
The fans refused to be appeased by
Speakers assurances, however, and
were repaid when they had their op-
portunity to give Rowland his final
''razz'' as he slipped into Speakers po-
lice-guarded automobile.
