What would have boon an Inter esting gnmo of ball was ruined Innt Hunday nftomoou nt tho Fair grounds whon tho Wolscr team loft tho field nftor tho second Inning wns piayeu. uocauso It til euoil that Mnl. toy, Ontario' pltchor, was using a "shlno" ball. A crowd of nearly 000 fans was bitterly disappointed at tho oxhlbltlon of sportsmanship given by tho visitors. Whon tho Hitiabbla started the scoro was 1 to 0 In favor of Ontario nnd tho crowd had settlod back an ticipating a good oxhlbltlon of tho national pastime, for It was ovldont that tho toauiH woro evenly matched and both woro playing good busk longuo ball, with honors fairly oven. -mo source nt inn troublo Is prob ably to be found In tho fact that thero was too much monoy wncorod on tho gamo, A betting ring In front or tho grandstand was coiiHplo uouh nnd tho bettors had considera ble to do with tho attltudo of the Welsor players. In fact during tho wrangling tho visiting players con sulted with thosn who had placed monoy on tho gnniM and acted ac cordingly. This feature of tho gnmo will not bo repeated In Onlnrlo.

Ontario was not responsible for Welsor leaving tho field. According to the rules of somo of tho leagues tho "shlno" ball Is not barred, but even If it were, the local twlrlor would havo been exempt, for he was not using It. As a matter of fact thero are only two or throe pltchors In base ball who can use the ball, and any man who can use It would not bo pitching In a city of this size. The public ought to recognize this fact and In doing so absolve the On tnrlo'managemont from any hlamo for tho fact that Welsor pulled out. Again the local management urged the Welser team to play after urging the backers of Ontario to cull bets off, and to forfolt the gamo If an Il legal dollvery was mado but that would not satisfy the visitors. It was apparent that tho Welser team did not want to play after It was scored upon, for up to that time no protest was made.. Tlio Two Innings. There Js not much to tell of the game. Only three mon raced Mailoy In the first inning. Welsbrod, tho first man up, fanned, Waters lifted a high fly to Clzorla In centerfleld and Mandrel! missed Mils third strike a mile. In Ontario's half Clzorla lead off with a long hard drlvo to loft center which Tincher captured after a pret ty run. Dalnbrldge waited for four wide ones and walked. Eddlo forced Dalnbrldge at second when he grounded to Mandrel), who threw to second; Harry Chapman did the same to Eddlo by grounding to Wators at short. For Welser tho second was a dupli cation of the first, except that nftor cm nut route. Mitchell got a llfo by Dalnbrldgo's error on his sharp grounder to When tho special train bearing tlio 100 or moro IiiihIiicoh mlaufnt,. nrlos from Halt Uko reach Ontario noxt Monday afternoon It will ho wolcome I In proper stylo by tho buslnoB men of this city.
