Finish Sfcond VBHWS DTJITRED EETIRES SPORTING COMA1ENT BY ED GRILLO There Is not apt to be any change In yesterday result of the New York ChicagoChicago game even after the protest of the Chicago club has been given due consideration by President Pulilam It la a cae where an umpires decision is Involved and as his judgment Is always final where an Interpretation of the rules Is not involved the head of a league has no alternative but to stand by the umpire In this specific case Emelle who had the base decisions admits that he could not see whether Merkle touched second base or not while ODay who was behind the bat holds that he did not and that the run should not score The question therefore 1 whether ODay ruling on a matter ith which Ite had nothing to do will be taken into consideration With the double umpire i cystem to vogue next year the rules will be so amed that one umpire ran help the other That Is to say what one doesnt see the other has a right to take notice of But that pile is not yet In vogue and Is questionable indeed whether Pulilam will take this view of tht case If as the Chicago players contend Merkle made no effort to reach second but turned out of the base line and started for the clubhouse then he was out before McCormick could have scored llere is another question involed which the umpires must decide Whether the fact that under ordinary circumstances Bridwella hit would have won the game for it would surt ly have cored McCormick from third will be taken Into consideration Is questionable It is during a period of reverses that a manager like a drowning man grabs at straws to stop the slump Jennings may bench Ty Cobb Think of It Ty Cobb the much heralded slugger the one player in the American League who was believed to be in a class himself to be put on the bench because his work is not satisfactory Had the Tigers been winning with any degree of regularity Cobbs little falling off in his work would have gone by unnoticed for when a team wins Its shortcomings are always overlooked nliy Brove vie move to take pfbb out of the game but It shows beyond question that Jennings team is demoralised and that Us chances to recuperate are now

of all Howell presented It to Wash ington Then Witherup and his sup porters must noi do lurjuucaj 501c back Witherup chucked It up In the nlnch When the local band of pennant chasers faced him in the

rapped savagely to left Ganley took It for granted that he wouldnt be able to stop anybody Cap Bob was probably right Anyhow the ball kept hurrying out to the fence unmolested and Jones and Hoffman brought home the tallies that proved to be the undoing of the youthful Witherup The lanky one went splendidly until he ninth Then after that bogus infield got him in bad he tossed it up and was slaughtered The Browns led by a 1 to 0 score up to the seventh inning They got their count In the opening essay Stcne first up was safe on a fumble by McBride Jones sacrificed Hoffman tapped to Witherup He looked to have stopped Stone at third but Sheridan waved the Brownie safe Street next fumbled Schweitzers dinky I hit in front of the plate and Stone regis tered After Ferris was credited

one ot the most remarkable occurrences In the history of baseball It did not takelong for the scene to take on a very stormy aspect and It was an ex ceedinsly fortunate thing that police were on hand to throttle disorder The game between the New Yorks and Chlcagos had been close and scrappy all through and when the New Torks came to bat In the ninth Inning the score waa a tie Seymour the first man

keyed up for the series with the aps Of course they will be in a crippled condition With Delehanty and Hughes suspended but just because all the decisions of Ban Johnson against members of th team have favored the Nans the Wash net on nlnv ers that are left to play will do their utmost to break the winning streak of Laloles men Johnson will no doubt be on the slab and with any kind of support In the field and with th bat he may be able to turn the trick It would certainlycertainly be a hard blow for the leaders to suffer defeat at the hands of the crippled Nationals The success of the White Sox a team that ordinarily does not Impress one as being made up of championship material has to a great extent been attributed to the presence of Billy Sullivan Whind the bat The veteran has done a large majority of the backstop work and his cool head and mechanical ability have done much to win games for his team Now Sullivan Is out of the game with a split ringer and there is no doubt that his absence will greatly weaken the team It Is unfortunate indeed to have this occur light at this time when Chicago is within a few points of the lead With Sullivan In the game there wasa good chance of the former worlds champions repeating but with him out of It Clevelands hold is strengthened The sale of Schreck Connie Macks old catcher to Comtskey comes In the nature of a surprise Schreck was believed to be a fixture with the Athletics yet Mack continues to carry out his policy to weed out the old players and get a bunch of new ones Even Harrr Davis job is by no means secure If Mack can find a young man who shows any signs of filling Davis shoes he too is to go CHAMPIONS AHE SHUT OUT Petersburg Takes Second Game of Series From the Lawmakers Special to The Washington Poet

right there trouble started to brew and In less time than It takes to tell It It was sizzling and sputtering Bridwell ran out his bit to first base In proper style and the whole friction hinged around whether Merkle ran down from first to second and thus exempted himself from the chance of being forced out In any event Johnny Evers made Identically the same play that he worked In the recent game in Pittsburg and which the Chlcagos protested He sig naled Hofman to throw the ball in and at the same time he gesticulated fran tically to Umpire Emslle to watch the play declaring that Merkle had not run to second base The legality of the run depended on whether Merkle touched second base and this was what the Chlcagos hadT in mind The point required by them In Pittsburg was decided against them but on the ground the umpire had not seen the play at second base ODay umpired that game and he was behind the bat today Being behind the bat however 10 0 0 ol Vision at second Dase Deionged to trmsne was up to Wm to decide whether Merkle was forced at second for the third out In which no run could be secured Said He Touched Second Incidents were happening so fast alt over the diamond about that time that It was hard to tell whether or not Merkle ever touched second base He declared later that he had while others were positive that he hit a bee line for the clubhouse when he saw Bridwells hit go sfe Hofman threw the ball In to Evers out I before the latter could step on second base McGlnnlty who had been on the coaching line and was on his way to the ciuDtouse took a hand and grabbed the ball away from Evers Evers and Tinker then grabbed McGlnnlty and wrestled with him trying to get the ball away They werent successful for the next minute the ball was sailing over toward the left field bleachers Some ChlcagD player rescued It and brought It In Merkle In the meantime had been trying to go back to second before the ball could be brought there and two or three Chl cagoans were hanging on to him trying to keep him from the bag There were excited cranks surging around the grouped and tussling players and many more swarming around the umpires who ere oh their way to the exit beneath the grand stand The Chicago players chased after the umpires to find out what ruling had been made and the cranks gathered around both Jostling elbowing and rubbering The police Jumped in quickly and scattered the crowds right and left as the limpires slowly made their way to the Players Follow Umpires The players fpllowed at their heels The umpires made their escape finally and then a crowd tagged on to the heels of Capt Chance and other Cubs who had been In the wrangling and turmoil The police however blocked the crowd as the players moved across the field Everywhere In the stands and on the field spectators were all at sea as to what had happened and as to the status of the game It was the general Impression too that the New Torks had won Charles Murphy president of the Chicago club came down from his box in the upper stand to find out what the umpires decision had been When ODay was asked how the game stood he replied Emslle says he did not see the play at second base and Its no game I suppose It was reported at the grounds that the umpires had submitted the matter to President Pulilam and that PuHlam had decided that the game did not count and must be played over again There was no truth in that report as the follow ing statement made by Mr Pulilam shows The New York stock ticker tonight having carried this statement Harry Pulilam the president of the National League decided todays game between Chicago and New Tork a tie and announces it must be played over I say such statement Is entirely unauthorized I have made no decision and I will not do s6 until the matter Is presented to me In the regular form HcGraw Talks The point was brought as to whether ODay as official representative of the league on the field decided that the run did not countv It would be up to the New Tork club to protest against a tie or whether It was up to Chicago to protest against a defeat That was one of the curious angles of discussion resulting from the complicated and tangled situation McGraw had some forcible comments to i oii wo euc vvr vu UU1 plres decide there was no game asked Mac Umpires cant go out on the field and make rules Either tne game should be declared forfeited on account of th crowa overrunning tne new ana preventing further play or It was won by us The Chicago club can protest of course but they would not have any grounds for a protest The play in the ninth Inning was not a question of interpretation of rules which is the Only grounds on which protests can be jnade Emslle says he did not see the play at second bsse and Merkle swears he touched the bag I think McGraw Is right observed one close stadefit of the game If the protest of Pittsburg was decided against Chicago on the ground that the umpire did not see the play and Esmlle
