District Grocers Fail
In Protest Against
Umpire Ruling

District Grocers' protest against
a ruling of Umpire Joseph (Eggy)
Morrissey in their Departmental
League game with Center Market
last week has been disallowed by
President Vic Gauzza. The decision
was handed down last night.
The play occurred in the second
inning with the Grocers in the
field and Market base-runners on
third and first, none out and the
score tied.
Herb De Vers, D. G. S. pitcher,
turned to give instructions to First
Baseman Jake Schwartz. first taking
his foot off the pitching rubber. As
he did the man on third broke for
home but was thrown out at the
plate, De Vers to Catcher Art Miller.
Morrissey, however, waved him back
to third on the grounds that he
had called time before the play
occurred. That, at least, was the
D. G.. S. version of the incident
Morrissey, in a written report,
stated he called time when De Vers
stepped off the rubber and before
the runner on third broke for home.
Since time was out there could be
no play under the rules.
