NATCOS TO PROTEST PECULIAR DECISION Hi Pucket, manager of the Natco's immediately after his game with the Vigrans Saturday entered a protest with the Umpire, Karl Meyers for a rather peculiar play which occurred in the fifth. With a man on first the next batter hit the ball down to short, and as it passed the umpire who was running to first to cover the play, a ball accidently fell out of his pocket. Knight who was playing first thought that the ball which fell from the umpires pocket was the ball in play and made no effort to get the throw of the Natco shortstop. The matter will be brought before the board of directors at the next meeting

In the battle Saturday at Athletic Park between two of the leaders of the S. A. L. the Vigrans captured their game from the striving Natco's due to the fact that they jumped into a 4 to 0 lead in the fourth inning and despite the desperate efforts of Puckets men, successfully held the fort until the battle was over, finally winning out to the tune of 5 to 2. Intense rivalry was much in evidence throughout the entire game and for peppery playing it was by far the best game of the season. The feature was pulled by Puggy Sittloh who captured one of those loop the loop flys that, you read about. He was given a "hand" for his pretty catch by the opponents as well as by every person in the. park.. The" winners showed much cleaner fielding and this alone helped them win out. ; Not much difference was shown in the hitting although the Vigrans hbokeiL a couple more than their opponents. Wallace, working on the mound from the fifth inning on was too much for the Vigrans, letting them down with but one measly sin gle. He furnished the hitting features with two long doubles into left center. ' RALLY IN LAST FAILS TO MAKE EASTHAVEN WIN A. S.. M. got back Into the hitting stride at Easthaven and slugged the way to a 11 to 6 victory which pulls its percentage up to the half way mark. At least every Seeder got one hit while Ernie Bosworth just to show them that he is no "Has Been" bingled three times out of 4 times up and walked away with the champ hitter percentage of the game. . Both - teams scored one in the second but in the fourth Easthaven went out into the lead by tallying 3 times while the Seeders were annexing 2. Followers of Slack's team saw the first victory of the season before them but their joy was 6hort lived as the Seeders began to get to the offerings of Hartman with a vengeance and in the fifth inning chased five men across, and continued their good work by scoring one in the next three innings. Slack's boys indulged in a ninth inning rally but could ot catch up and after scoring twice were retired. They still face the task of breaking in to the percent column. RAIN HOLDS UP SUNDAY'S GAME Old man weather, on the job yesterday, put a halt to the program arranged by the I. S. L. at the Athletic Park. Waiting until half an hour before time for calling the game, this same gentleman turned on the water and Chas. Ross, the new "umps," was forced to declare no game today. Rain checks were handed out. Several things of interest which are expected to happen at any time regarding some of the players on the local team was given out today. McBrair, who has been playing third for the club, has been released, but the club has a string on him as regards to his playing with any other member of the league. He was considered a heady player and fair hitter, but was too slow on his feet. The same is true of Beebe. Backers of the club have a trade started with Becker's Perkins-Campbells offering him the two players for one to be selected from his squad. The matter probably will be settled on this week. Whether Brubaker will be with the club the remainder of the season is something Dick Kenney -would like to know. Bru is reported to be going to Bay City this week, and Kenney states that from the way the player talked that he would remain with Richmond for some time at least. FABER BREAKS IN DESPITE BARRIER Urban Clarence (Red) Faber, the White Sox hurling expert, fought his way into the big show over as many barriers as any busher ever encountered on the route. Faber was up once with Pittsburg and was turned back by Fred Clarke. He pitched for Frank Isebll in the Western League for three seasons and then went back to the majors after having been tagged N. G. But for Comiskey's friendship for Isbell, the titian-topped heaver would still be drawing his pay in Class A, the master of the Sox accepting him under protest at the fag end of the 1913 season because his old world's series star insisted on the transfer. Jack Doyle, Chicago scout, had reported Faber wouldn't do, anct the sale was registered as an option contingent upon his making good by May, 1914. He made good. Minnesota has more farmers' co'operative associations than any other state -

SPORT The color line so : tightly drawn around major league' baseball has barred from league fields three of the greatest pitchers-the game has ever produced. " t, ,One of the trio, John Donaldson, pitching semi-pro ball in ' Kansas City, recently pitched thirty innings without allowing a hit or a run a record unparalleled.' "If Donaldson were a white man, or if the unwritten law of baseball didn't bar' negroes . from the major leagues, I would give $50,000 for him, and think I was getting a bargain," said John McGraw of the . Giants, after seeing Donaldson pitch several g apnea in Cuba. ". - . . .; - Donaldson, just before establishing his record of pitching thirty innings without being hit, struck out twentyfive men in a twelve-inning game an average of better than two strikeout per inning. Donaldson just now is pitching for the All-Nationals, a Kansas City team composed of players of all nations, and an outfit that baseball sharps claim is strong enough to give any major league club a nip-and-tuck battle.

He figured iu about thirty games tfver V stretch of three years from 1912 and struck out something like 250 batsmen, an average of about eight and one-third to a game. - In one game he fanned fifteen men. He allowed on an average of only five hits to a game for the last twenty games pitched,' and over a stretch of fifteen games he allowed only twenty-six runs, less than two runs to a game.

With only five of their regulars, the D. & W.'s gave the Ad-Hills quite an argument before they accepted a 5 to 3 defeat at the Playgrounds Saturday "Dook" Rogers was drafted from the sidelines because of the scarcity of players and although it has been several years since "Dook" hag been seen on a local ball field he was in pretty good form, accepting his only chance cleanly and getting one. of the two bases on balls which Brady handed: out. . The real feature of the game- was Lancaster's all around playing. Hank had the job of twirling forced on him and pitched a winning game, but a few wild pegs and other foolish things at critical times lost his game for him. He was also better than usual with the willow gathering in two clean blows. The "Tailors" started out as if they were going to take the game from their fast opponents quickly, rushing two men across the pan in the first inning and holding the "Ads" down to nothing for three rounds, but in the fourth the luck broke and Stevens's men began to get the scoring ball a rolling, shooting one across in this frame, and. in the fifth after the side should have been retired.
