Saturday's Results. "Richmond, 2; Bluffton, 1. Decatur, 9; Van Wert, 0 (forfeited). Kokomo, 5; Portland, 1. Games Today.
Bluffton at Richmond. Decatur at Kokomo. Van Wert at Portland. (By War Correspondent. Richmond 2; Bluffton, 1. After Umps E. Gardner had annihilated one-third of the Bluffton team in a pugilistic contest, our awe-strickened athletes beat the remnants of the same team In a baseball contest by a score of 2 to 1. It was great Saturday afternoon sport. You paid a quarter and eaw one baseball game, a preliminary scrap and a knock-down, drag-out mill. Mr. Gardner is a strict disciplinarian. When officiating as umps at the national pastime he is to be regarded as "It" or take the consequences. The fool hardy Bluffton athletes chose to take the consequences Saturday after
noon, and as a result gore flew in such quantities that Sheriff Meredith had a brand new 50-cent shirt ruined. Mr. Gardner, feeling that the Dregs were not sufficiently impressed with his authority, took the liberty of beating this fact into the entire nine. After he had dismantled Cap LaKue, sunk Second Baseman Donovan, broadsided Center Fielder Partlow and thrown the grappling hooks into First Baseman Wills, Sheriff Meredith performed the Btunt of the dove of peace, wielding the big stick, and thereby saved the other members of the visiting team from receiving a spanking at the hands of the Irate boss of the field. After the dust of battle had settled snd the wounded carried away, Mr. Gardner was seen standing on home plate speculating as to whether it would be best for the interests of the uport to engage In a survival of the fittest with the Quaker squad. Fortunately, for our quaking demons, Mr. Gardner decided to desist from his gory work. He shook himself like a bantam rooster and ordered in strident
tones, "play ball." As the teams lined up to continue the interrupted contest, paid Interruption occurring In the
fourth round pardon us, we meant in
ningfour hundred Impressed fanatics
arose dazedly on their hind legs and gave Mr. Gardner the college cheer. .The fair sex handed him the chautaujgua salute. Horn Did Fine Work. The game itself was easy to look, upen. Mr. Lorn worked for the locals end he pitched a splendid game. Casey had control to cremate and back of him was beautiful support. Only once was the big fellow In serious trouble, the first Inning, and then he twirled himself loose from the pitfalls which be tset him, not allowing one Blufftonite to cross the pan, notwithstanding the fact that the bags were playing to standing room only, with nary a hand down. Our two tallies came in the second. T. Carlin poles one through LaRue. Little Minzler then scored Thomas of Kew Castle, with a two base hit. Britten advanced Minzler to third on an infield out and the little fellow came home a minute later on a wild pitch by Prough. After the second the locals fought gamely, but fruitlessly against Prough's benders. The Human needle allowed only four hits and pitched excellent ball from start to close. Carlin, Fisher, Minzler and 1 licks put up the fastest infield team work seen here this season. Little

GAME WAS FORFEITED.
Decatur and Van Wert Then Played
Exhibition Contest.
Decatur, Ind., Aug. 31. Umpire
Arundel forfeited the game between Decatur and Van Wert today in the
first inning on account of the Buck
eyes insisting upon playing Shortstop
Stewart, formerly of Porfljand, but
who was sold by them to Kokomo recently. He refused to report to Ko
komo. It was arranged between the two managers that the teams play an exhibition game, the winner to
take the entire gate receipts, which
amounted to something, as there was
a large crowd present. Arundel was
selected as umpire and the game was
played, the locals winning by a score
of 11 to 8. Moore started to pitch
for Van Wert and was knocked out of
the box in the seventh and was re
lieved by Hay, who finished well

New Pitcher for Kokomo Proves to Be
A Find.
Kokomo, Ind., Aug. 31 Brown, the
new pitcher for Kokomo, proved a ter
ror to the Portland team in the game
with Kokomo at Sharpsville today in
which Kokomo was the winner by
ecore of 5 to 1. Kokomo also proved an amazing and unprecedented ability with the bat while Pitcher Brown fanned out the best hitters on the
Portland team. The Kokctno trio of
hitters were Biltz, Spicer and Hall. Biltz made three clean hits out of four times up. The game was a clean and fast one and exciting to the end. Kik, Kokomo's new shortstop, put up a phe
nomenal game. Score:

catch after misjudging the fly. Wiltermood is a much better player, even if his eyes are bad. Horn succeeded in breaking his losing streak Saturday. The big fellow pitched a splendid game and it would have been a crime had he lost it. Horn's supporters were out in force. Gov. Minzler should never be taken from second base again and placed at shortstop. The little fellow is a natural second bagger and in the game Saturday, his work both in the field
and at bat was the pleasing feature. A two-bagger and a single out of three times up is going some. The team returns from the east end of the league circuit with two new players in the make up. Manager Morris has purchased the release of Eddie Stewart, the crack short stop and heavy hitter. Mr. Zellar will cover second base and Dan Kik of Granc Rapids will take charge of third base, while the outfield will be looked after by Shinn, Hall and Gillis. Spicer will cover first and Orr will be the receiv
ing end of the battery. Kokomo Tribune. Jessup, with all the charges of rowdyism against him, made local fans take notice of his generalship during the series just closed.

Manager Jessup was notified Satur

Idol of the Richmond fans, would, re

In describing his troubles to President Kling, Gardner stated that there were two or three bullies on the Bluffton team and that he would not stand for them "making passes' at him or calling him vile names. "If you don't like what I did, I'll blow my job. I'd rather play ball than umpire anyhow," said Scrappy Frank. Not one of the fans who saw the game blames him for his action. - Britten was given another chance Saturday to make good, but he did not profit by the opportunity. Britten fanned twice and was retired the third time on an easy Infield out. In the field he pulled down a one handed,
suspension
team. Van Wert sets up the claim that Stewart was purchased from Tortland and that a check was immediate
ly sent to Portland to close the deal. Some hours later, after the check had been mailed and Stewart ordered to report here, Portland telegraphed that the deal was off. The point will be carried to the official board for settlement. In the meantime Van Wert will continue to play Stewprt. Van Wert Bulletin. . Johnson, our scrappy little center fielder, lost his temper in Thursday's contest and tried to murder several spectators by hurling his bat at the wire netting in the grandstand. The Bluffton fans are very insulting and are extremely sore at Johnson because he is putting up such a marvelous game for us, when they claim he could do nothing with them. The trouble with the Bluffton fans is that they do not know a ball player when they see one. Decatur Democrat. The greatest battle of pitchers ever waged on the Washington street diamond occurred Wednesday afternoon, when Van Wert and Richmond lined up for their second game of the series. Hay was on the mound for Van Wert and gave a magnificent account of himself, his work. In fact, being the best he has so far presented since donning the spangles here. The most pleasing feature of Hay's performance was that he fielded his position like a major league veteran, accepting four chances on ground balls without a wabble. Opposing to Hay was Young Cole, the Columbus, O., university student, who recently entered the ranks of the professionals. Cole, although he lacks finish, is a fine box artist
and, barring accident has a future of
great promise. Van Wert Bulletin.

Easthaven again played Hill's picked team at the hospital grounds Saturday afternoon and again came out victor
ious. This time the visitors' lineup included seven of the crack Centerville
leaui, ana ior a time it looked as
tnougn tney were good enough to
trounce the Easthaven laddies. However in the eighth inning when East
haven had the bases full, the visitors "blew up" and a long single by Jeffries, a fumble, and a couple of bad throws allowed four runs to cross the pan. This ended the run-getting. In the ninth inning each team cut off what appeared to be a batting rally by fast double plays. Easthaven was without the services of their regular catcher and Ray of the Q. & B's caught a very pretty game for them.

Pearl LaRue, captain of the Bluffton base ball team and Umpire Frank Gardner were arrested Saturday evening by Sheriff Meredith for participating in a fistic encounter at Athletic park Saturday afternoon during a
game between the Richmond and Bluffton teams of the Indiana-Ohio league. Manager Clarence Jessup of the Richmond team furnished bond for LaRue and Gardner after their arrest. Both men will be tried Monday morning in the city court, each being charged with assault and battery. Gardner will enter a plea of not guilty, claiming that he fought in self-defense. The encounter between LaRue and Gardner was a preliminary to a general fight in the latter part of the fourth inning in which Gardner tried to whip the entire Bluffton team. After Gardner had disposed of Second baseman Donovan and First Baseman Wills and was engrged in a "wrestling match with Center Fielder Partlow, Sheriff Meredith arrived on the scene and, wading into a crowd of excited players of both teams, weilding his mace, he succeeded in quelling the disturbance. The game little umpire, after the dust of battle had settled, was roundly cheered by the excited rooters. According to Gardner the trouble was the aftermath of a game played at Bluffton a week ago Friday between the Kokomo and Bluffton teams. Gardner stated Saturday night
Bicycle Moadl Mace OIM Saturday, Sept. 14, At 2:30 P. M. Given by the Bicycle Dealers
that at this game LaRue threatened to whip him on account of a decision. LaRue, according to Gardner, worked the crowd up to a frenzied pitch. At the Bluffton-Ricbmond game last Friday LaRue and Gardner again had some words because the umpire called LaRue out on strikes. LaRue again threatened to whip him. Gardner Was Game. Saturday afternoon In the third inning Gardner called LaRue out on strikes, justly so. according to Hose who saw the game The next inning LaRue walked to the third base coaching line and called Gardner a bad name. Gardner ordered him to the bench and LaRue immediately struck him. Quick as a flash Gardner smashed LaRue twice in the face, sending the Bluffton captain to his knees. Sheriff Meredith and players of both teams rushed in and separated the contestants. Gardner then ordered LaRue out of the game. All of this took" place at the opening of the first half of the fourth inning. Before the close of the inning, Richmond executed a double play. Second Baseman
Donovan of the Bluffton team, who was called out at tho plate, rushed toward Gardner with his fists closed. Without parley Gardner struck him in the eye, blackening it. First Baseman Wills then rushed into the fray only to bo met with a half hook in the jaw. It looked to the rooters like Gardner was about to dispose of the entire Bluffton outfit. Just after Gardner had struck Wills, Center Fielder Partlow rushed in and jumped upon tho fighting umpire. Both men went to the grass in a clinch. Just then Sheriff Meredith took a hand and with tho assistance of Manager Jessup and other Richmond players succeeded In separating Gardner and Partlow and chasing the other members of tho Bluffton team to their bench. As a result of the fight LaRue has a discolored face, Donovan a black eye and Partlow a cut chin. Gardner shows no signs of battle. He reported his trouble to President Kling of tho league Saturday evening over tho long distance telephone and;. his description of the fight told In tho racey, picturesque language of the ball field convulsed his auditors.
