 It vas the hfth inning with Cor bins 1t bat. Jasper had just com rleted | home run. Preisser, next st bet, fied out to Joe Mccormick. "Yia4s'' Patrus vas safe on kan6s arrer. Huber was safe on another error by Kane. Then the fun start cd.
 Rates hit . fly to Williams in left A4ld. Some thought that Williams caught the ball. others thought dif- fArAntly. Billy Fitzpatrick. umptrtng on bases. declared 1t catch but Jimmy Maher, umpire in chief be- hind the bat, ruled 1t mo catch"
 "Yiggs" held second until the ball touched the fielder's glove and then tore for third. Williams threw to Malone who touched third and then shot the ball to Kane at second TOT which Huber was making. Kane touched the bag. It will be remem- bAred that neither runner was tag eed.
 Fitxpatrick declared both men safa because he figured the ball was causht and was sacrifice play. Then everyone started arguing.
 At tho height of the discussion. Joe Mccormick started running down Huber between second ana third and "Yisgs" promptly dug for home. Mccormick. without touch- ine Huber, threw for home but the per was wild. "Yiggs" was appAr- ently safe. Then more argument.
 Finally. 1t was agreed that Um- pirs Maher's decision would stand that the ball was mo catch" one. Then 1t resulted that Patrus had been put out at third and Huber was out at second. No runs were scored but everybody had a good time.
