They didn’t even see the finish of a hard- fought game, for In the ninth Inning Umpire Campau, acting under Instruc tions from the management of both clubs, stopped the battle to allow Mem phis to catch the train. The fart that the game was to be called early had not been extensively advertised. In fact, few but dyed - In. the-wool fans knew It. And so when his umpc, who had been having the very deuoe of a time of It. signaled that all was off, a swarm of angry men bussed out onto the Held, after his umps' scalp. Atlanta players and Chief Joyner quickly ran out, surrounded the trem bling Campau and escorted him to the dressing room, protecting hltn from harm. The crowd still hung around, grow ing more and more angry with the passage of each minute. Little knots of boiler-makers, shop hands and other hefty specimens of humanity were clustered about. Inside and outside the park, waiting for the appearance of the unlucky Campau. "Here he comes!” they shouted. A man In a blue suit of clothes, little hand satchel, came out from no body knew where. He had a heavy black mustache. "It’s Campau.’ they muttered. Then they closed In on him. The man In the blue clothes looked up Inquiringly, then was startled. V threatentni Hit lilm,” shouted one outside. "Smash the robber In the face,' hissed another. ’’He used to play In New Orleans, 1 grunted a third. Then they came right In on the man In blue clothes, and trouble was about to odfcur. One of the hoodlums bran dished his arms In air, all that was neded to set the bunch of men In frenxy of anger— When the man In blue said: "flack up, you thugs, I'm not the um plre. They scattered, for It really wasn' the umps. It was Chlpley Setse, Chief Joyner’s private secretary. But he Just did escape having a very bad half hour. LOCAL NEWS CONDENSED New Live Stock Company.
