Battlers last night folded their
tents noisily in the middle of the
fourth inning, blew their chances
for the city title, and went tear
fully" home.
One of the seasons biggest
crowds, out to see the two big
guns of the league in game
which would decide the first-half
title, saw the Battlers bitterly
protest first inning decision,
then refuse to take the field for
their end of the fourth inning
when the Plumbers had run up
a 81 lead.
Mable. II Was Heart Rending
The battle which eventually
ended the game started in the
first-half of the first inning.
Barber leftfielder Reese"
Thompson had flied out to right
when Ralph Arnold, shortstop,
walked and raced TO third on
wild pitches. Then Kermit Kerr,
Barber first sacker, lifted a fly
to short center, which Julius
| (DoDo) Villareal of the Plumbers
| took on a beautiful running
shoestring catch, with Arnold
going home on the fly.
! Nobody knows quite what hap
pened after that.
Umpire Sailor Violet told
| someone Arnold was out because
he had failed to touch third base
before going home after the
catch, but refused to render a
decision, since he said the YER
/ dict was up to Ump-in-chief Ar
thur PONY Griffin. Griffin
said he had been watching the
fly and hadn't noticed what
Arnold was doing.
Baftlers Forfeit Protest
Griffin. apparently angered by
the verbal battle between the
teams and himself. walked of
the field and the game was held
