when he came out to umplro tho first game

Umpire Buckley has heard from Presi

that Buckley used abusive aud profane lan

Buckley says he only consigned Fisher to
warmer regions, which—In baseball lan
guage—Is positively lady-like talk.

man who made Jt, had tern called out by
one of the umpires. Dickey strayed rather

there and Castro tagged tbe Atlanta run
ner, Fortunately, however, Buckley de
cided that Buchanan had balked and nd-
rauced Crosier to third, from where ho
scored on Winters' lengthy fly.
