RIOTOUS SCENES FOLLOW DECISION
WHICH ROBBED ATLANTA OF GAME
Lively doings went on nt Piedmont pnrk
Tuesday Afternoon Just subsequent to the
railing off of the second game by Umpire
Shuster.
Wheu this utterly rnnk decision was ren
dered, as more fully told about In the
story of Tuesday's game, the two or three
thousand fans In the stands stood ou their
feet and hooted nt the rottennesa of It.
In n second sfter Shuster made bis an
nouncement, Illlly Smith and the other
members of the team ruahed at the tubby
limp and demanded to know what be meant
by calling the game under aurb circum
stances.
Ollly Smith was almost beside himself
at the decision, and rushed at Shuster,
pulling him around roughly.
When the police saw thnt trouble was
Imminent, they closed in. Smith turned
away from Shuster. After hesitating a
minute, he turned lack again and went nt
the umpire with his lists. Fortunately for
tho good name of the club, the police In
terfered liefore Smith coubl land a blow.
As soon ns Smith was calmed down a
bit, the police stnrted to hustling Shuster
to a place of safety through the rapidly
growing crowd. Cries of “Lynch him!"
“Kill tho robber!" hisses and cat calls
were heard on all sides, and the fans
showed a comparatively good ndtured deter
mination to press around and make things
llrely.
With ample pollco protection, Shuster
was hustled through the players' gnte and
sloug behind the grand-staud to the box
office. Hehlnd % the Dutch ump and his
iKMly guard came tho “Roman mob," push
ing, yelling and doing Infinitely more harm
to each other .than to the umpire.
Shuster reached the box office safely,
and hero be remained for a half hour,
guarded by the police, while around him
a couple of hundred “Irresponslbles" stood
and booted.
When Shuster was finally brought out of
the office, the crowd closed In again, and
ou toward n hundred boardo4l the same car
and rode to the heart of town with him.
Here they disembarked and marched to
the side entrance to the Kimball bouse.
In went Shuster, and In went the crowd,
too. creating no end of a sensation unions
the guests of tho hotel.
Out the other side went Shuster and a
couple of newspaper men, but then the
cops barred the door, 'while Shuster cut
across the railroad tracks. A neat little
fight between a cop and one of Shuster's
“followers" caused a flurry of excitement
nround tho Kimball doors, and during It
Shuster waa spirited away luto hte dark
ness.
When asked why he called the ghrae,
Shuster said:
“It wns too dark to play any longer.
Even the Atlanta men said that they could
not see tho- ball."
When asked later If he would be on hand
for Wednesday's game, he snld:
“Sure, my schedule calls for me to nq-
plro tomorrow, and Til be there."
While Shuster's decision was rather the
worst that the writer or any1>ody else nt
the game had ever seen, still there wns
no Justification for Smith's attempted as
sault on Shuster, nor for the demonstration
which followed.
A hall player Is not justified In bitting
an umpire under any circumstances ou the
ball grounds, nnd If any of Smith's blows
had landed, 8huster could have put the
local manager In.a decidedly awkward po
sition. It Is always well to remember thnt
assaulting the umpire Is out of style In or
ganised baseball, no matter what the provo
cation may be.
As tor the men who follows! Shutter—
well. It seems as though their sense of hu
mor would have saved them from anything
so ridiculous. Evidently no man In the
crowd had any serious Intentions against
hls umps, for a dosen chances to mob him
were overlooked. The crowd which fol
lowed him went along In the hopo that
somelKHly else would do something. Out
evidently not a man had the necessary
nerve.
finch scenes, however, are likely to be
misinterpreted outside of Atlanta, and It
Is hoped that tho one Tuesday concludes
the record of such performances for the
season.
AFTER WINNING BOTH GAMES TUESDAY
ATLANTA IS ROBBED OF THE SECOND
After Atlanta hnd won the opening game
of Tuesday's double-header by a score of
4 to 1, the Crackers were robbed of the
second by the most outrageous decision
that has been rendered on local grounds
hy any umpire In tbs memory of living
fans.
The second gtme hnd gone four Innings,
and Atlanta led by a scorn of 3 to 1. Only
threb more outs hnd to lie made to make
It a complete game. The time was 5:63
p. m., and as the clouds which hnd cov
ered the sky most of the afternoon were
breaking up somewhat. It was compara
tively light, ful\y as light, at least, as
when the game was started, for at that
time the sky was heavily overcast.
And yet, with the game only five or
tlx minutes from completion, nnd with
victory right In Atlanta’s grasp, Khuster
declared the contest over on account of
darkness.
From time Immemorial and undoubtedly
somewhat prevloun to that, umpires have
been making mistakes. It Is only human.
But for Insane, Inefficient, balled-up, sap-
headiHl, Idiotic, • chuckle-pated, miserable,
lop sided, nutty, unfair. Incompetent and
thievish decisions, that one takes the bine
ribbon.
It was suspected from the Jump that
Hhnster was a lemon, hut up to the time of
that decision people did not consider him
crasy. What they thought about him af
terwards, Judged by their remarks, we
quite positively refuse to say.
There Is no reason to suppose that Shus
ter meant to be uufalr. The decision will
have to lie put down th the score of In-
competency, nnd It Is humbly suggested to
Judge Knvansngli that he replace Khuster
with some man who la competent to dis
tinguish darkness from daylight
Atlanta won the flrat gnme from Elmer
Duggan, late a Cracker, but now a Finn,
by the score of 4*to 1. It was s rlp-suort-
lug game, puncture! with errors by Nash
ville. but full of brilliant ptyys. Elumr
allowed ouly four hits, nnd deserved a vie-
tory, but errors spoiled hls chances.
Mpnrka pitched n'nlcc game aud hnd good
support. In the seventh nn error and a
hit gave the men from NHshvllle their ouly
run.
With Nashville's half of the eighth In
ning plnye4l, nnd Wallace, the first man up,
on first, the wind which hail l»een blowing
the dust and dirt across the diamond at a
terrific: rate, finally landed some rain, nnd
the gnme wns declared off, pending a ees-
itlou In the fall of moisture.
Umpire Khuster allowed the usunl thirty
minutes nnd then n few for good measure.
Then he c-nme out and announced thnt the
gnme wns called, nnd thnt the second
game of the double header would start In

There 'csiT be no doubt /but that more
than the allotted forty minutes elnpoed
between the calling of . the first game and
the beginning of the aecond. However,
ss Mike Finn agreed to pity, that fact
afforded no Justification for the umpire In
hie act In calling the game at the end of
the fourth. In the opinion of Mike Finn,
however, bis first unfair act bad some
thing to do with the second one.

If Atlanta Wins Today
She Goes To Second Place
With any Jtlnd of luck Wednesday, the
Atlanta team will l>e In second place In the
peuuant race Wednesday night. Just at
present the Crackers are .001 behind New
Orleans nnd .002 nhend of Memphis.
If Atlanta takes both games Wednesday,
she will go to .690. If she wins one and
loses one, she win be .678.
Out the Crackers are going to win, nnd
If they do they are safely In second place,
and right behind Olrmlnghsm.
Just now* the Darons are one game wot
and three loat better than Atlanta. Th*
two games Wednesday should cut this
down. Then If Atlanta can do as well
she ought against Birmingham and Mont-
gomery In the coming trip to Alabama,
the Crackers will return home Jn the lend.
Sounds pretty fine, don't It? If we cm
only keep this pipe lit a bit longer.
Or, maybe It Isn’t a pipe.
Anyway, things look better now tbM

It was certainly raw.
Rack to the Three-I for Shuster.
If ever an umpire made a worse de
cision It has slipped our memory.
No umpire Is ever roasted In these col
umns. All thnt Is necessary In Shuster's
case it the truth.
Pretty hard on Tommy Hughes to lose
the credit for such a game as he pitched.
Everybody got tho worst of qhe rush tip
the alley to the box office Tuewlay except
the umpire. One enthusiast nearly poked a
lung out of the sporting representative of
an afternoon paper, and then went around
bragging thnt he “guessed he got square
with the blanket/ blank umpire."
The slight ruction betwe<fi n policeman
nnd an "Innocent bystander" materially as
sisted Shuster In bis get-away. While the
crowd stopped to see the fun, Shuster made

Mike Finn would have had fairly good
grounds for protecting the second game-
Undoubtedly, It was started more than for
ty minutes after the first one wns called.
“We did not try to delay the second
game," said Mifcc Finn, “while Atlanta
players deliberately went out In'order to
hurry It. That may not 1m? against the
National Association rules, but the umpires
are Instructed not to allow It. Shuster did
right In calling the game. It was only a
