The Robisons, owy.crs of League Park, have protested agair~{ \’»pire Hank O'Day, owing to what they consider his unfair and incompetent work in Monday's game. Al Warner has been chosen to officiate fn this afternoon's game. O'Day will not be allowed on the grounds. “If the same plays that started the trou- ble after yesterday's game were to occur today, atid I was handling the indicator, I sh make the same decisions,”’ said Um- pire ’ank O'Day to the Post-Dispatch “I have no apology to make.

He may run in a circle if he wishes. “The regular line is the shortest distdnce to the base, and the theory is that he is only injuring himself when he runs outside it.

The crowd came out of the bleachers and lined 'up around the outfield, for a time blocking | the progress of the game. It was not until ‘Red Jack’’ Powell personally had exhorted the crowd to get back and allow the game to proceed that the mob slipped temporar- ily into the spaces between the bleachers and the clubhouse, and the game pro- ceeded. Spurned One Chance to Redeem Himself. O'Day saw the ninth inning fought out. When Burkett came tearing home with what would have been the tying run, the crowd in the stand was betting even money that he would save himself by giving the home team the benefit of the doubt in case of a close decision. Burkett almost connected with the plate. Had O'Day been of the “yellow’’ order, he could have called it safe and hepled his case. O'Day, however, has just enough of the prognathous jaw to suggest obstin- + A and he refused to grasp the opportu- nity. He called Burkett out. That was the straw that caused it all. He was offered a loophole of escape, but was too conscientious, too courageous or too obstinate to take it. It was the flag to the red bull. Everybody saw what was coming.

Aside from the riotous incident at the close of the contest, Moaday’s game was kaleidoscopic with incident.’ As the _ in- nings rolled round, the interest increased; and the varying fortunes of the teams, as the leadership swung back and forth, kept tho enthusiasm of the spectators at white heat. The members of the teams did not seem to be in love with each other, and, while no hostile demonstrations occurred, enough petty by play took place to show the spec- tators that a hard fight was in prospect. Had Jesse Burkett noc been too eager to tie the score in the ninth tnning, the Cardinals might have won out, after all. With two men out, two men on the bases, and the score 7 to 4 against the team, Burkett came to bat. If ever a man was mad, that man was Bufkett. For once in his life Jesse felt that he had a right to be mad, and the thought made him speechless. He simply gripped his bat as if salvation lay there alone, and it was for him to achieve it. He was not very far from doing it, either. As Donovan lobbed up a nice one, he swung viciously at it, conected for a two-bagger c .- | ee b 4, - why - 5 sae 5 s oe ts 4 a - .

He threw high to Ryan, the latter catching the ball above his head. Daly was running “hard all the time and he slipped under ‘and cove Ryan just as the latter's arms began to drop with the ball. He made a falling slide —that is to say, he forced his foot between Ryan's legs to the plate and threw his body out of the way of the descending arms, de- scribing a quarter circle.

Whatever it was that threatened over and above what he ‘“‘got"’ yesterday, he brought it on himself. O'Day, as he himself said Monday, never gives the visiting team the worst of it. Monday, in accordance with set method of procedure, he gave the St. Louls team the worst of it, forget- ful entirely that the ordinarily mild local enthusiast is now rooting for a pennant winning team, and that bad decigions ha.e ceased to be mere mistakes to the popular mind and have become crimes. Basebail mobs know only lynch law, un- ti] the real thing shows up with brass buttons, @ revolver and a ciub. It was euch a self-appointed vigilance committee which sed on O'Day’s decision and at- t to avenge it. The trouble was simmering all afternoon.

The men and women in the grandstand cheered the act, while, as if waiting for a signal, the mob from the pavilion swarmed over railings and surrounded the umpire. Three St. Louis Players Came to His Rescue. Donovan, Padden and Hetldrick gathered about him and tried to protect him, but could not prevent blows from being rained on his head. Even when the police ar- rived, it was only before the revolvers that the crowd melted. O'Day all the time was trying to fight back, but Donovan and the others had their arms about him, and took some of the blows intended for O'Day in the at- tempt to protect him. He was finally housed in the office and the doors locked, while the mob jeered him through the windows. O'Day showed his nerve by facing the mob later. Capt. Gaffney and his tren were waiting to escort him to the conveyance. Gaffney remarked they had better wait awhile. -*O, come on am, said Hank, “I've troubled you enough.”’ Another assault was threatened as the rig was about to drive off with O'Day. Some stones were thrown, and epithets hurled, but no damage was done. O'Day was driven safely away. CONSTITUTION EASILY BEST Monday’s Race Shows Columbia and Independence Cannot Cope With Her in Light Aairs. NEWPORT, R. I, July 9.—In the second of the three-cornered races between the Constitution, Columbla and Independence, which tvok place Monday over a 30-mile course, the Constitution proved itself in- vincible in light airs. re defeated the great vacht Columbia by half an hour, and the Independence was beaten by over an hour. This result must certainly give Con- stitution the honor of defending the Amer- ica’s cup against Shamrock II. It remains to be seen, however, how swift she is in a strong breeze. The Independ- ence has shown conclusively that in light airs she is not nearly the equal of either the Columbia or Constitution. She was not handicapped in any way, but was unable to sail fast enough under prevailing conditions, although in the reach to the second mark she made better time than the Columbia. The result of the trial is as foliows: Cor- Start. Finish.

DELMAR RACE TRACK, July 9.—Not- withstanding the fact that three of the races decided yesterday were won by good things, corked up for the occasion, the Post- Dispatch managed to select the other three winners. In the first race the Post-Dispatch named the horses one, two, as they finished. In the third race it did the same thing, nam- ing Barbee, a 6-to-l-shot, to win, and Kid McCoy, a 4-to-l-shot, to finish second. its third winner was General McGruder, who came home on the bit at the liberal odds of 8 to 5. Nobody could select Lasso on form. He is such a bad-acting brute that everybody except his own party passed him up a long time ago. He was always either getting left at the post or running away. He was a good thing yesterday, and was lucky to get off good, but he is a bad betting prop- osition at his best. Surely you could not select Tom Collins on a fact track after you had-*heard for years stories of his uncertain underpinning. Collins is in new hands. Since Mr. Fizler took charge of him a wonderful change has cam across the old nag. However, Collins will have to run his race on all sorts of tracks in the future or he is Hable to get in trouble. A man ought to get 50 to 1 for picking Sam Lazarus to win in such a field as he was in with yesterday; of course, providing he did not have any inside information. But Sam was framed up for a warm thing. His mong 4 and a few outsiders scared the bookies when ,.he got his head in front. There is no way possible that you could figure Lazarus to win. here were no figures in the list that wvuid stick to him. Poor horses will be required to furnish the sport in the majority of the races to- day. It is one of the days that Program- maker Maginn terms as dog days. It is a harvest for the eels of the track, for they have a chance to earn their feed. Palms showed all sorts of speed in his only out, and he was a good thing on that occasion. He was a bit short, and after be- ing prominent to the sixteenth pole quit to nothing. | ; Lillian M. was going erent guns in her last race at the finish, but she made her run too late. She may be second to Palms. Phonolite will be the runner up. Prima II appears as though she ought to have an easy thing.of it winning the second race. On July 4 she ga loped over Tobe Paine, one of today’s contenders. Hun- garian will be close up, and he may give Prima a run for the money. Satin Coat ran a sparkling race behind Swordsman, under a bad ride, the last time out. If Bell takes the short route and does it should be a cake walk for the Coat horse. He is consistent, but {s not ridden con- sistently. Sometimes Bell puts up a brilliant ride and then follows it with a miserable one. Sam Lazarus should be second, with Great Pride in the position. Sweet Dream’s only race in these parts was in the mud. She showed a remarkable burst of speed on this occasion. They say that, she burned up the track around Cin- cinnati in fast going. f she is good as she fs said to be, she will have no trouble annexing the purse. Henny Belle, who is a speedy trick. has had e long rest and may give Sweet Dream a battle for*the honors. Zach Ford will a'so be knocking at the door. The fifth race is a three-horse affair at one mile and pew f yards. On his race with Blink, Peaceful and other good ones in the Inaugural, Peter Duryea ought to de"in,er the goods. He was bumped about in every jumov of this rave, but even at that he finished well up and was awarde4 third meney. He was miserably ridden ir the event. With a good boy up he would have wor. the race without much trouble. Lee Bruno’s recent victory over Ida Led- ford makes the dopesters believe that ha will win today. Of course, Bruno cannot be overivuked, as he is a mighty good horse right now. Ed. L. should beat Laureata in the clos- ing event. He is giving away packages uf weight. but it has been a long time sinze he wee #0 good as he is now. Old Scenter Rye Is Mellow And wheleseme. ASE for it. H. L.

CHICAGO, July 9.—Behind closed and carefully guardeé@ doors the Supreme Lodge of the Knights of Pythias today met here in special session to consider alleged ‘‘in- judicious handling of the funds of the en- dowment rank of the order.’’ Members of the fraternal organization both in the United States and Canada are said to be intensely interested in the out- come of thé investigation, a report of which will be made during the present meeting by F. S. Neal of the board of control of the endowment rank. It is said that $590,000, the entire surplus of the endowment rank, has been so badly handled during the past few years that it is unavailable for use except at a great sac- rifice. Meanwhile the death rate has in- creased to such an extent that the rank is $400,000 behind on death claims. Along with a discussion of the proper treatment for officials said to be responsi- ble for the condition will go consideration of measures for the restoration of the rank to its former basis. A special assessment on insured members and an increase in the monthly payments on insurance were said to be probable by members of the supreme lodge before they went into ses- sion. The meeting will continue three days or possibly longer, it is thought. THE CUT IN WESTERN RATES. It Is Believed the Santa Fe’s Notice Will Never Become Effective.

PITTSFIELD, Mass., July 9.—The case of Robert Stewart Fosburg, charged with mans'aughter in the killing of his sister, May Fosburg, last August, will come to trial in the County Courthouse in Pitts- field on Thursday, July 18.

Ceeryeinge The feeling that umpiring cost the home team the game is pes justified. One run certainly would have been cut off the Brooklyn score and probably two. But the demonstration that followed the close of the game has no sympathy from any right minded person. Two wrongs have never yet made a right nor a mobbed um- pire changed the status of the game. The fact that several of the so-called re- spectable element in the grandstand lent other than verbal incentive to the trouble, and handed beer bottles and chairs the way of the unfortunate O'Day. does not raise the tone of the affair in the least. It wi!l stand as a piece of rowdyism whoever par- ticipated In it, and it was a plece of cow- ardice beside. The right or wrong of the decision does not figure in the ethics of it.
