So it happend that when * Harry Biever, the Engineers and Fire men hurler, determined to shoo the jinx away from the railroaders at I West End Park last evening it seem ed that after Umpire Henry had call ed what seemed to be a perfect strike ball he lost the cunning he meant to employ to discomfit the West End team. It was his first slant across plate. William Euker was at the bat. In spite of all he could do Biever could not get the sphere to cut the rubber but once while Euker waited and the shortstop drew a pass. He was followed by Shafer. The flr.-t ball delivered was a strike, the next one a ball. The third one Shafer wal loped for three bases and Euker came home with the first tally. To make k matters worse, Embick, third man up, rapped out a single and Shafer tallied. Palmer got-on first when he banged out the third West End hit. Embick advanced on the play. Timothy Mc- Keever, fast felt fielder, drew the sec ond pass of the inning, filling the sacks. Timothy Euker followed with a clout, sending both Embick and Palmer home, making the total ac cumulation of runs four. Bell, Knight and Strieker went out in order, leav ing McKeever on base. It was a bad start for Biever, but he recovered his nerve and the West Enders were able to collect but one run after that, Bell scoring on Strieker's three base hit. Strieker was caught between third y and the home plate. That ended the run-getting for the victors. The Engineers and Firemen made their two runs in their half of the • fourth inning. Madden started off t with a single. He was resting quiet ly near first base awaiting develop ments when Wagner, who was cover ing left garden, swung on an easy one Strieker handed over and mauled it far into right field. Before the ball was returned to the infield both Mad den and Wagner had crossed the rub ber. Strieker pitched good ball. He struck out seven men and passed but three, while Biever gave four passes and struck out three. While the En gineers and Firemen had six hits off Strieker they were not bunched and ' in spite of the topnotch base steal ing of Rote and the splendid rally of the Engineer and Firemen they could get no more than the two runs scored in the fourth inning. Five of their batters were left in the paths. The crowd was one of the largest of the season and it was hilariously enthusiastic. There was only one fault to be found with its conduct through the seven innings played. It had the bad manners to hoot and jeer at the work of the umpire. It may be true that Henry transgressed at times, but the odds are that he umpired a splendid game. He had several difficult decisions to give and there were those in the crowd who admired his pluck in sticking up for what he believed to be right. The. sooner the officials of the West End League determine that their players shall cease abusing and wrangling with the arbiter the better it will be for the game at West End Park.

The sensible batter, unless the decision be so glaringly wrong as to merit criticism, bows to the good Judgment of the umpire and it spoils the temper of the umpire, the good humor of the crowd and the glamor of the game to try to win ball contests except upon merit. Rivalry becomes keen and players keyed to a high pitch of in terest, but to abuse the umpire is as foolish as it is uncalled for. More ball players have lost their popularity and prestige through crabbing than for any other cause. The records of the game in big leagues prove the truthfulness of this assertion. To-night the West End and Motive Power clubs meet in a postponed bat tle and to-morrow evening at a o'clock West End and Highspire come together. Winters may pitch for West End to-night, while Don Mertz, the heavy hitting twirler for Motive Power, may be on the mound against I him. There will be a great crowd if | the weather Is good.

Reilly and Foland won a dollar each, offered by the Allison Hill Trust Company, by driving out home runs. But of the four sockers went to right field. In each instance run ners were on base, and these two drives counted for four of the nine runs. "Red" Foland had on his batting clothes, driving out two other hits in addition to the homerun. Boyles was the real clean-up man for St. Mary's. He had three hits, two of which were doubles. His first hit. a single, sent two runners over the rubber.
