(ThurSday, August 81
The Braves frightened their hold
on second place on Thursday night
when they took a double-header
from Sunbury by scores of a to 3
and to 4.
The second game was enlivened
by real rhubarb between Man
ager Staller, of Sunbury, and Um-
pire-In-C Chief Murphy, which start
ed in the top half of the fourth
when Murphy called a double play
when Pair played Lind, instead of
the bag, in an effort to break up
double play on Littrell's grounder.
The rhubarb continued in the top
half of the fifth when Murphy call
ed Major out at third Staller,
throwing up his arms in disgust,
called Miller, one of his pitchers, to
coach at third and he moved over
to the first base coaching box Then,
in the top half of the sixth, with
Staller coaching at first and Miller
at third, Staller continued the
rhubarb, this time with Donahue,
the first base umpire, and he was
thrown out of the game. Miller
then got into a wrangle with Murphy
and he was thrown out also This
brought on lot of yelling from the
Sunbury dugout, which resulted in
Juliano also being thumbed out
