Tommy Kale Umpires Contest and Brings Crowd to Feet With Many Nifty Decisions.
There was more comedy than base-
Call injected into tne game piayea yesterday afternoon, at Athletlo park, between Mulroney's Potato Bugs and
Kirk's Peanut Rollers, which resulted in a score of 8-5, in favor of the "spud" team. About twenty-eight players participated in the contest that went five innings with numerous interruptions. "Tommy" Kale was nominated umpire of the contest, and his work behind the bat was as laughable as some of the attempts of the players. Tommy on Job. Some of the decisions made by his "umps" delighted the 1,500 or more spectators and on several occasions
the crowd ran on the Held and handled the dinlnuative umpire roughly, but only for, the entertainment of the
crowd.
In the fourth inning a number of the spectators-and all the players ran
onto -the Held and dragged Mr. Kale to the players bench and lifted him to
the top of it and demanded that he
make a speech. Bridge Suggestions.
There was nothing modest about
"Tommy" and be said that he intend
ed to run for mayor at the next election and that after he is elected he will not spend any $100,000 for a Main street bridge, and that he would put three piers under the old one and hold
it up. - After much cheering for the "com-
in mayor," the game ended, with the
following score by innings: R. H. E

LAQOR PICniG - : REPL ETE WITH SPORT EVENTS
Owing : to the wet condition' of the
grounds many of the sporting events planned by the Central Labor Union
at their picnic at Athletic park yester
day had to be called off, but. in the
afternoon " the grounds were dry enough and some of the contests were held before a crowd7 estimated at'be-
tween . 1500 and 2000. ;, s.
Lucius Harrison was master of ceremonies and with the. aid-of. numerous assistants gathered a large number of
entries and every race-was hotly con tested by a large number. . '
In the sack race for boys from home to second base and return. Robert
Powell proved to be' the most efficient
sack traveler and "hopped away
with first prize.' V. Frame Is Winner.
The time race around the diamond
had thirty or forty entries and was
finally won by Walter Frame in 18
seconds.
Eight girls entered in the base running contest arranged for them and it resulted in a tie between Opal Kuhlman and Eula Somerson; time 14 seconds. It should be explained that the fast time is due to the fact that the run around diamond was shortened. To decide who was the winner of
first place a race was run from second base to home plate and Miss Somerson
proved to. bethe fleetest .and carried away the honors. , ' : One race that was interesting; was from the grandstand to a sign , board and deep center field ' and' return. There was fifty starters, Casper Parker distancing all the others. ' "' Tlie race'around the bases for baseball players was fast and 'exciting.

KEW YORK, Sept. 7. Connie Mack is now in a position to murmur, "I told you so," in the general direction of seven American league magnates and the same number of National league magnates. Last winter Cbnnle announced he was going to release Eddie Plank and Jack Coombs. Then Connie gathered the magnates of organized baseball around him, and said: "Roth of those fellows have a few
years of good baseball in their sys
tems yet. I would advise you to take
them."
ThA American league magnates
hirneH their sninal columns unon Con
nie and laughed and laughed.
"Sav. if Connie cuts any player
adrift you can bet your wad on it that that ulayer is all In, down and out,"
agreed the American league mag
nates. And they utterly dismissed
Coombs and Plank from further con-
Well, Charles Hercules Ebbets,
grand master of the Dodgers, had a
little hunch on Coombs. He played it by. signing Coombs and Coombs is the . greatest "come-back" twlrler in the history of .the. game. The pitching of Coombs has been one of the
mightiest factors in the uplift of the
Dodgers and Ebbets has reaped, a golden harvest through the acquisi
tion of Coombs because the. Dodgers are in the pennant flght and that
means fight and that means big
crowds and big gate receipts. .
Just; about the c time that Mack released '-Plank,-the owners -of the De
troit Tigers were in the market for a
southpaw. .
"If we can get one reliable left hander I believe we can cinch the
pennant," said Frank Navtn.
"Take Plank," advised Mack "He'll
win two-thirds of his games.".
But tne Detroit owners-turned .a
deaf ear and Plank went over to the
Feds.
