Manager Hughey Jennings Turned Trick on Umpire Who Chased Players Out

Umpire Ollie Chill of the-American league, just about established a record the other day when he chased threefourths of the Detroit infield.- In the seventh inning,with the score a tie at 1 to 1, Chill declared a Boston runner safe at the plate. It was a very close decision. In moment the diminutive umpire was surrounded by every member of the Detroit club. There are a lot of six-footers on the

Tigers and Chill was soon lost entirely from view. What happened while the athletes crowded around him will probably never be'known, sufficeT it to say that when the debris was cleared away- Bush, Young and Heilman had been sent to the showers. A few seconds later Manager Hughey Jennings was requested to Join his unruly athletes. At this stage Jennings, although mad all over, proved that his ever-ready wit never deserted him. Because of the several men who had been put out of the game by Chill it was necessary that a number of substitutes be made. Oscar.. Stanage. one Of the Tiger catchers, was away out in left field warming up a pitcher. As Jennings went to the clubhouse he notified Chill that Stanage was acting manager. Chill in turn was forced to walk several hundred feet into left field to notify Stanage, who was the most surprised individual in the world at the honor so suddenly thrust upon him.
