The Crackers lost, but they k*t a good fame, a corking game as far ns fielding stunts went. The Peli can fielders went "plum crazy" and pulled stuff that ought to land them In Milledgeville.

Then came Illustrious Potentate John Hynds, who threw the first ball. And be It said, to the lasting honor of Illustrious Potentate Hynds. he threw a vastly better first ball than the average. By no stretch of imagination could an umpire have called it a strike—if Johnston hadn't obliging ly hit at it. it wasn't even near. But it didn’t roll along the ground, nor did It sail over the catcher’s head, which was out of the ordi nary.

OKLA.. June fl.-Four fist fights, the ejectment from the grounds and jailing of the umpire apd the fainting of a ball player who was in the grand stand served as a prelude to yesterday's game between Tulsa and Okmulgee, of the Oklahoma State league. It was ladies' day. too. First some one questioned the sobrietj’ of Umpire McKee. Then came a fisticuff between the umpire and Owner Bleckley, of the Tulsa club. Bmps McKee came out second best, but had sufficiently re covered when Manager Gardner, of the Okmulgee team, who is under suspension and who. McKee alleges, assaulted him after yesterday's game, came on the field to engage him in battle. At this stage spectators swarmed on the field, and Mc- Kee was carried bodily into the dressing room under the grandstand, where two Oktnulgeeans acted as his opponents in bout No. 3 ■a In the absence of the umpire, two spec tators were selected as umpires, and the game started. It had not progressed far. however, before McKee was on the field again, and exchanging blows with Man ager Price, of Tulsa This fray was at its height when Shortstop Black, of Ok mulgee, fainted Four policemen put an end to hostili ties by arresting McKee.

The franchise was lurned over to J. O. Boatwright, president, of the league, who will endeavor to place it with Suf folk. The team left here last night to play at Petersburg, according to schedule, and will continue to play until some city is found to take it. Baseball in this city has been a losing proposition since the beginning of the season and latterly, with constant re verses and poor gate receipts, it be came apparent that the local club could not weather the storm.
