UNO THE UMPIRE
FORFEITS GAME
Bronchos’ Outfielder Protests
Against Decision and Hurl
burt Gives Indians Game.
ARBITER’S WORK IS POOR
Calls Pennell Out on Strikes
and Then the Wrangle
Started.
Special Dispatch.
Oklahoma City, Okla., Aug. 16.—
When George Stinson kicked on a de
cision that retired a batter on strikes
here yesterday afternoon in the second
contest of the series between Oklahoma
City and San Antonio. Umpire Hurl
bnrt forfeited the game to the In
dians. Stinson made his kick long
and forcible and the official after put
ting the watch on the Bronchos, gave
the contest to the locals.
The troub> started in the second in
ning while Pennell was at the bat. Up
to that time the work of the official
was very poor, and while both sides suf
fered, the visitors were given the raw
end of the deal on several occasions.
When the second sacker of the Brones
had been retired through the poor work
of the umpi- . Stinson ran cat from the
bfneh and protested ; gainst the ruling
of the arbiter. The latter would not
stand for the kick and after waiting a
few minutes, declared the game forfeit
ed and walked off the fie! .
That the protest was a just one’ there
can be no doubt for the center fielder
of the San Antonio team is one of the
few players in this league who does not
bait the umpire. In every city of the
circuit he is known as a quiet nlaycr.
ahd3he work of .urlburt must have
been very poor to cause him to register
such a strenuous kick.
At the contest yesterday there was a
big crowd present and all were given
rain checks for the game this after
noon.
DALLAS CONTINUES
TO WIN, SCORE 4-0
Special Dispatch.
Dallas, Tex., Aug. 16.—The Giants
had little trouble in shutting out their
opponents here yesterday, the seore

quality of the ball served out by Evans |
were too much for the Navigators. The j
local slabman allowed but three hits, I
while the Dallas combination collected
ten off McAdams.

BASEBALL IN EGYPT
Ancient Game Too Much for Larry Me- 1
Lean of Cincinnati.
“I see,” said Manager Griffith, look
ing up from the pages of his maga
zine, ‘‘that the scientists have traced
the game way back to ancient
E gypt”
“’I hat right f” queried Larry Mc-
Lean, with sudden interest. “ Why, I
thought the game started about 1842, ini
or near New York City.”
Nope,” said Griff. “It merely '
> came to life, as you might say. The l'
.inscriptions on the pyramids and on ।
, a tablet found in the* tomb of Sesos- 1
। tris show that baseball was played I
I 4500 yearsago, and that the ebam 1
pionship of the Egyptian league for
i B. C. 2613 was settled by a five-game
j series between Memphis and Cairo.”
“I don’t see,” remarked Mr. Mc-
Lean, “how on earth that could have
been, because Memphis is in the I
1 Southern league and Cairo is in the
Kitty. I hey aren’t even in the same*
. circuit, and never have been.”
, And Griffith, dropping the maga i
I zine with a low moan, retreated to the i
dining room.

St. Louis, Mo.. Aug. 16.—President
R. L. Hedges of the St. Louis American
league club announced here this morn
ing that he had purchased the releases
of Pitchers Malloy and Mitchell and
Outfielder Northen of the Houston team
of the Texas league. Hedges closed
the deal with Owner Doak Roberts of
the Houston club, who is at present in
St. Louis.
Both pitehers are right-handers and.
according to Hedges, rank with the best
twirlers in the Texas league. The
Browns’ owner is especially enthusias
tic over having acquired Northen.
Roberts saw a good deal of Tris
Speaker, the sensational fielder of the
Red Sox of Boston, who is also a pro
duct of the Texas league. According to
Roberts, Northen looks even better than
Speaker did when he graduated into the
big league.
As the Houston club is in the fight
for the Texas league pennant. Roberts
will not permit the three players to re
port until after the season is concluded.
September 7. They w-ill then ■ be
brought on and given a trial by Mana

New York, Aug. 16.—The most inter
esting bout staged in New Y’ork this
season will take place tonight when Bill
Lang of Australia will meet Al Kauf
man, the California heavyweight, in the
main bout of ten rounds. Both men
have met the present champion, Jack
Johnson, in the arena, Kaufman going
ten rounds with Johnson in San Fran
cisco, while the negro stopped Lang in
ten rounds in Australia.
Lang has also met the ex-champion,
Tommy Burns, the latter earning the
decision after twenty rounds of hard
fighting. Lang secured a knockout over
the veteran of the ring. Bob Fitzsim
mons. in 19 rounds and defeated Boshter
Bill Squires for the Australian cham
pionship.
WOLGAST AND NELSON
ARE BOTH QUIET
A Boston writer remarks that Ad
Wolgast is about the quietest cham
pion we have ever had in this coun
try. “We heard that he beat Bat
Nelson a few months ago,” he con
tinues, “but after that he dropped out
of sight. Hasn’t had a fight, hasn’t
issued a challenge, and hasn’t even
been arrested. That’s no business for
a champ. Ad isn’t the drawing card
he imagines he is for the reason that
we, don’* know whether he’s a beat
or a bum.”
It is noticeable that Bat Nelson is
staying out of the game pretty con
sistently since that 42-round mill, also,
hi spite of the fact that Bat still
claims ho is as good as ever. A gru
elling match such as thi: pair in
dulged in cannot be -epeated too often
just to satisfy a lot o- second raters
barking at -the champion's heels.
However, it is a matter of history
that Ad has had no less than three
encounters since his memorable bat
tle with the Dane.
