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

good gnmo here at which tho gales
will o wldo open and no ad iihodon
charged, no that thoso who pild l,
uo Sunday's kaiiio will ho glvon
tiielr munoy's worth.
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

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
