AGAINST FT. WAYNE SHAMROCKS Umpire Connell So Unfair He was Hissed Even by the Ft. Wayne Crowd. With Connell, the big policeman, holding the indicator, and Cy Alberts bf Central league fame twirling, the locals treated Manager Cleary’s Shamrocks to a ninth inning finish Sunday that made them sick and in return gave them a dose of their own medicine, the same we were forced to submit to some Sundays ago. However, that we won the game is no fault of Umpire Connell, as he endeavored to prove faithful to his colleagues and did all in. his power to assist the Emerald Isle lads to win, and at times his decisions were so rank that it actually made the followers of the Shamrocks ashamed to look a visitor in the face. Manager Cleary, who is a clean sport, in every respect, tolerates such work we are unable to fathom, and unless he secures a new man to handle the indicator he will notice the falling off of the attendance in the near future rind wonder at the cause. The rankest decision that Connell made came in the ninth inning while the locals toere overcoming the Shamrocks lead and it. looked as if defeat was staring |hem In the face, when he maliciously and with malice aforethought deliberately called Pierce out at the plate after he was clearly safe by at least five feet and thus by his crooked’ toork defeated us out of a hard earned run. The decision was so rank that even the Ft. Wayne rooters stood qp and hissed and yelled rotten and robber, still Connell took the roasting £ood natured and it did not seem to effect him at all. The locals did not look very formidable until the ninth tohen they got busy and before they finished they assumed the propor--1;ons of a giant. Knapp, who has een pitching such remarkable base all, started in to pitch, but in the ilrd inning the Shamrocks took indly to his delivery and scored sin. Iles and a double. Oscar Way, the tide of Ossian, supplanted him with bree runs and no outs staring him i the face and disclosed his usual asy delivery and with the stone wall upport behind him let the hard biting Shamrocks down with three hits at the remainder of the game. Ak Herts had things his own way until toe ninth when a series of clean hits put him down and out the finish comIhg about as follows: Bums, the first man up flew out to short. Weber hit a long fly to left center, which Koons c ropped after a hard run, netting .Weber second base; Pierce singled to right, advancing Weber and took sec. end on the next pitched ball; Witham singled scoring Weber, Pierce going t o third. Rasty to second on the play* Winger then hit a hard one to third base and Pierce started for the plate beating the throw easily, but was (ailed out by the “umps.”,; Witham t aking third on the play and Winger second. Way was walked purposely by Alberts and Witham and Winger l oth scored when Nash cut loose a : hard clean single; to right field .which : turned defeat into victqry. The,side was retired when Behringer hit a Ibng fly to right center. From a De(atur standpoint .the game was a nice (rie to. win and, gave the, fans much i to, rejoice , qver singe ; they had fairly i 1 eaten ten men. The score; . , f

THE ASSOCIATION IS SOLVENT Pay All Bills But Close to Avoid a Loss Which t n e Future Seemed to Assure. • Like a bolt of lightning from a clear sky came the announcement Monday morning that the ball team had disbanded and many refused to believe it, but it ft true. The directors met Saturday evening and going over the situation discovered that the team had already cost |SOO or S6OO more than had been taken in, using up the balance in bank and a few dollars over, even after fourth of July week, always the biggest of the season in a financial way. At this time they can and will pay every dollar they owe and. the association deemed this much more honorable than to conclude the season at a loss of perhaps a SI,OOO or more and the vote to disband Sunday evening was unanimous. The ball team of 1907 was as good as any in the state, every member being a star and they will have no trouble in securing places on good teams, the only regret being that they will separate, (very man is a gntleman and their future career on the diamond will be watched with interest by their De. riatur friends. AH future dates, excepting with Portland, of the team, Were cancelled by Manager Behringer this morning. Several dozen times today the question was asked why the team couldn’t be supported here this year when it was last and it is easily answered. Last year, everybody boosted, worked with the association, attended the games and otherwise Jelped, This year the proper interest eemed lacking and although we had ri team equal to any in the Central league, there were many “knockers.” Added to this was the fact that for Several weeks, rain on days when games were scheduled, cost the association considerable money. Perhaps few people knew that SI,OOO per irionth was necessary to support the tjeam and the work of meeting these expenses became rather irksome to toe few who had to do it. It’s all over and the ball boys are busy packing their grips just now. O - ' | Stimulation Without Irritation That IB toe watchword. That is What Orino Laxative Fruit Syrup qoes.
