Little Jesse Garrett and tall, lanky 'Tackle" Henley hooked up In the en gWement at the Vaughn-street lot yes terday afternoon, and when the little chap got through with the big fellow and his followers, they resembled a flock of chickens rouied by a hawk. Garrett had them on the run from the tap of the gong and when the final chapter was ended by a double plity from Tom Maden to Phil Cooney, Jesse had the best of-A 6 to 0 argument. This evened matters up with his Texas rival for the whitewash administered Port land earlier In the week. ' Garrett's pitching was easily the star feature of. the game. The diminutive Texan was on the Job at all times, and seemingly cared but little whether the Seals had the sacks loaded or empty. He worked his underhand foozler, his side-arm break, and the famous spit ball with equal dexterity, and the waft ing of seven of the Seal huskies testi fies to the effectiveness of his course. In bending his curves too strongly on. four occasions Garrett lost his men and the umpire sent them to first, while six of the visitors grabbed hits, but de spite this attack, the crack twirler never let up for a second. He scored a shutout much more easily than did Harry Sutor last Wednesday, for the latter worked hard at every moment of the game, while Garrett, with his trusty smile, took things easily, espe cially after his teammates had assault ed "Slivers" for a quintet of aces In the fifth. " Casey's Long Hit Counts. Portland tagged the scoring register on the very first assault on Henley. Pearl Casey was the unfeeling one who welted a Henley offering for three sacks, and when Kid Mohler tossed Melchior's relay of the ball wildly to Joe Curtis, the Portland captain dashed over the pan. That run looked awfully good to the faithful, and smiles of su preme satisfaction were in evidence. This lone tally remained as an Incen tive to the Seals for four innings, but In the fifth the home guard took up Its cudgel and started In to wipe Henley off the pitching map. The manner in which the Reavers succeeded is told by the score. Tom Madden, who has re covered his batting eye with a ven geance, started the trouble with a safe bjngle. Jesse Garrett helped the good work along with a bunt which Curtis heaved badly to second, and both run mrra were safew Henley butted Into tile error column on Casey's bunt, which -Ailed the bags. Bassey was overanxious and fanned out. Not so with Raftery, for Tom pickled one that arooted over third base, scoring Madden and Garrett. Ryan popped a fly to La Longe. Cooney secured an Infield hit which again populated the sacks. With this contingency facing him. Henley lost his range-flnder on Danzig, and the big fellow's pass forced in Casey. Then Jack Graney became the hero, for the little pitcher had been delegated to right field because of an Injury to one of Johnson's Angers In practice. Graney' pelted the first hall pitched for a single to right, on which Raftery and Cooney rode home. This eaded Oie acorefest for the day. Seals Fill Sacks. Only : once did the Seals become threatening; and this happened In the seventh. 'Beek opened up with a dou ble. La Longe secured a pass, and Cur tis beat out an Infield hit. which filled the . bases with ' none out. Garrett seemed not to mind this in the least, ' for ha Immediately settled down to business, which resulted In a quick exit for the Seals. Henley retired by waft ing three times. Mohler popped a little infield fly. which was nlftily handled by Pansfg. and Hlldobrand's high fly to center fell into Raftery'a mitt and the danger point was over. The retiring of Phil Cooney on strikes In the fourth resulted in two error ; being ' charged to the Seals. Cooney fouled Off sundry pitched balls, and two of them should have been caught, but La Longe muffed the first one and Curtis dropped the second. Phil ended the Seals' agony by finally striking out. iHlldebrand and Bassey made several nice, catches in tha outer garden, and Cooney and Zeider pulled off neat plays In th. infield. This Is Bargain Day. Today is bargain day. for two games may be witnessed for one admission this afternoon.

Decisions Are Not Influenced bf Roasts From Grandstand or Players, Says American League Official. V BT TIM HURST, AMERICAN LEAGUE UMPIRE. It is remarkable how many people in the grandstand can see plays better than the'umplre. The other day while umpir ing a game In a certain American Leagua city I called a ball foul. The players did not even register a kick, out mo bleachers raised a roar, and from the bleachers one of the reporters took his cue and the next morning the paper pointed out what a difference it would have made had I seen me pi "'e .. v, .nintnn saw it. ouldn t It be lovely if the umpire always o It with the vision oi tne prejuuit ....... spectator? Then it would be tough Juck indeed if the home club ever was beaten. Now doesn't it Btand to reason that the umpire etandlng directly on tne nome plate can see whether a oau is tan ur mm better than people ' many feet farther away? Many Imagine thnt the frantio howlings behind an umpire have an effect upon him, but they do not budge him In the lenat: he continues to give the deci sions Just as he sees them. If some of the people who constantly criticise tne um pire had their own way the term of office would be exceedingly short. Happily the umpires have in President Johnson a man who backs them to the letter and turns a deaf ear to the mouthings of people Incompetent to judge the work of his of ficials. Best Friend of Players. Then the players. You would think they would have sense enouaii to appre ciate that the umpire Is their friend, that he is In the game to give them a square deal. While some recognize this, others are antnsonlstlc at the least pre text. There Is but one thing to do with them flKht them on their own ground. The umpire must show that he Is the lnjs In all things. I realize that umpires will make mistakes, Just the same as other people, but that gives the players no right, however, to get nasty. I urn rl ways op3n to reason and will listen to a protest properly couched, but when It comes to abuse that Is another question. Some odd incidents happen In the career of an umpire. Often stranae people get in the game and act In a strange way. For Instance, the never-to-he-forgotten "Andy" Freedman lorded the whole thing when he reigned on the Polo Grounds, being so autocratic that he barred re porters and umpires from the ground. He had a flat-tight with one reporter who did not report the game to his satisfac tion, and was In a constant turmoil with representatives of the press. Well, he had Tom Lynch on the prescribed list one of the beat umpires that ever lived and Emslie also Incurred his displeasure, and I also was a marked man. It so happened that I whs assigned to umpire a game on the Polo Ground?. "Andy" was always at hand near the. grand stand entrance to see that none hut those agreeable to him entered the por tals. Of course, he epled me, but he had no Idea that I was to umpire, thinking that I had a day off. "Now, Mr. Hurst." said he, "we have had some trouble with you on these grounds. Friends of yours are enemies of mine." Incident on Polo Grounds. "Is that your reason for objecting to me?" , "Yes." "Too bad," said I. "If you'll tell me one friend you have in New York, I'll cultivate him. I think you are the best hated man In New York." The Baltimores were to play that day and It was about time to get ready to umpire, so I said, "I guess I'll quit you." "What," said he, "are you going to umpire today?" "Sure thing." "If there Is anything that is coming our way I want It," said he. "Well," I answered, "if I see anything coming your way I think I'll sidetrack it." "Pat" Tebeau, the celebrated manager of the Clevelands. was a hard man on the umpires. He was a strenuous worker, and fought to the point of obstreperous ness. Charley Zimmer was his catcher, and there wasn't an easier man In th huslnesto umpire for than the "Count." Zimmer. An umpire never hud the least trouble with him; It was always smooth sailing. You can Imagine my astonish ment when, one day, he started up a har angue at some decision and became very aggressive. I supposed he would come to a stop, but instead he kept on and on. Then I had my Inning, going back at him for all that I was worth, and told him a few things, concluding by threatening to put him out of the game If he did not cut it out. Well, he weakened and let up. I never tumbled for a moment that Zim mer had been put up by Teb'au and thu bunch to go at me. It was all a jok' You can imagine what a time the players had while the altercation lusted. Tom McCarthy Tricky Player. Tom McCarthy, of the famous St. Louis Browns, and afterwards with the Bostons, Is one of the players that one could never forget. He was full of tricks, and the most resourceful outfielder that ever played the game. He had no end of nerve, and was never afraid to take a chance. He could make some of tlui alleged players of today open their eyes In wonder if they saw such a game as he put up. Here was a fielder who ba.'k d up every base, and It was nothing unsiml for him to go behind the catcher when there was need. Throw? Well. I guess, yes. He was very strong, quick and ac curate aud always had the situation gauged to a nicety.' Think of an out fielder making two double plays In one game off the same runner. I can tes tify to that, for I umpired the game In which It was done. Tnose, who were so partisan that they could not appretlnie that kind of a play, yelled, "dirty!" Im agine a man playing "dirty" ball In Bal timore! Yacht Fpsets in Heavy Wind. BELLINGHAM, Wash., Aug. 1. The pleasure yacht Linda, of Seattle, with seven persons aboard, capsized off Chuck anut Bay last night, and after struggling for more than an hour in the Icy waters, the party was picked up by the tughout Beaver and brought to Bellingham. The yacht was calling for South Bellingham from the eat sound when it was struck by a gale. Before the sails could be al tered the craft went over and all were goon clinging for .their lives to the hull of the boat. The wind was In the nature of a tornado Coming In whirling gusts across the open stretches oi water.
