 ELKS, l { T0S
 LAST NIGHT

Elks .... i 3
 It was a wild and wocily game last night. as the Legion came from behind in the fourth inning to win; but not until after they very nearly lest their pitcher
 Rollison, pitching to Guy of the Elks in. the bottom half of the seV- enth, violently disagreed with the way Umpire Cochrane called one pitch. Cochrane threw him out of the game, as he had every right to do.
 However, the Legion was short ot players On the field, so after Rolll- sen apolcgized he was re.nstated. Then the Elks started the argument all over again. as they maintained that once a man had been thrown out the Umpire himself couldn't put him back. The players finally postponed the argument until after the ball game, and resumed play
 In such a case as that, the pitch CT would do well to remember few Little points. First he isn't as close to the ball as the Umpire. Second, the Umpire is doing the calling, not anyone else is on the field. and he's doing the best job he knows how. And thirdly, before anyone takes it upon himself to push the Umpire around, he should make certain that official wasn't formerly in the boxing ring.
