Ths Three Rivers Club was only recently added tr the circuit, which embraces also Montreal, Ottawa and Valley Field.

Moat of ths players are recruited from minor leagues In New York and New England. Three Rivers browsed through the Winter without due excitement until It became the headquarter of the hunt for Canadian witfiesaes In the Stillman divorce case. When that excitement subsided, It looked forward expectantly to the opening of the ball season. Fans Enthusiastic. From the very first It became evident that Three Rivers waa out to support Its homo club to the bitter end.

When on June 1, Empire Bruneau decided against a Three Rivers player, dispatches received here state that the grandstand was nearly demolished as the rooters searched for ammunition with which to bombard the umpire. Escorted by the police, the umpire dodged a crowd awaiting him outside the gates with a noose, and as soon as he had fled town, dropped a note to Joe Page, former scout for the Chi- cago Nationals snd now president of the Eastern Canada League begging to bs excused from officiating In Three Rivers again. A terse dispatch on June 7 stated that Umpire Mahoney had been trounced by a Three Rivers crowd for calling a Montreal player safe.

This was too much for ths stends. Several zealous ones took up a collection of 95 for the catcher.

Others romped on to the field at the close of the game, and as Mahoney sped toward the gate, they followed. Jumping into a hack, Mahoney dashed through the main street pursued by a squadron of automobiles. He reached hta hotel Just ahead of his pursuers, but prodding and punching him, they followed him to hla very room. Mahoney escaped from town by boarding a train for Montreal while a large part of ths town waa camping on the wharf waiting for him to take the steamer. "STEAMBOAT IS CAPTURED.
