‘BEEF CHAWING’
BREAKS UP TILT
All the efforts the Dodgers and
Rogues put forth in the first three
and one-half innings at the high
school field Wednesday night went
for no good when an argument
broke out and the Rogues were
obliged to forfeit the game.
The score was tied at 5 to 5
and two were out when Fromm,
Rogue third baseman, walked. He
was alleged to have left the bag
too soon on an attempted steal
and was called out. When Manager
Daugherty protested the decision
he was ordered off the playing
field by Umpire Jim Krinock, who
declared the game a forfeit. With
but eight men left to play, the
Rogues had no choice.
The Miner Press got back into
form and walloped the Elks 8 to
3 in the second game of the double
feature. It was an even and fast
game until the last of the sixth
when the Pressmen sent four tal
