There waa a acene of tumult at Pled

Pour thousand people had paid out

Umpire Campau, acting under Instruc

cluba, atopped the battle to allow Mem-

The fact that the game was to be
cplled early had not been extensively
advertised, 'in fact, few but dyed-ln-
the-wool fans knew It.
And ao when hla umpk, who had been

A man In a blue suit of clothes, i

they closed In on him.
The man In the blue clothes looked
up Inquiringly, then waa startled.
A threatening mob was right on him.
"Hit him," shouted one fellow on the

Smash the robber In the face,'

frcniy of anger—
When the men In blue said:
"Back up, you thugs, I'm not the um

It was Chlptey Betse, Chief Joyner's
