Do you Uke to me bat tins same?
U you do you mlued- the (reataat treat
-' 'of your lit by not being at the South
" Xnd park yesterday anernoon. and wit-
nssslnf a real bessbaU awatfeet between
Oeorge Pace' Bed Bavena and Joa
Bowie's flock of Lamb.
Purine the contest forty hits were
made. Both teams participated In thla'
. willow battij; but the Lambs came out
la the lead. at the and. They secured
" twenty-two hit for a total of fifteen
runs . while their opponents made
eighteen hits and thirteen runs. '
Clarence Kelson waa oa the alab for
Houaton. Clarence waa lucky In more
than 'one way. His teammates by hav-
lnc their batting clothes on aaved him
from aore defeat. He was as steady aa
a clock however and gave no bases on
. balla He made a wild pitch and an er-
ror that cost eight runs. To offset his
deficiency In the pitching and nelding
1 line. Nelson made up for It at the bat.
He lined out three hits which went far
toward winning the game for his team.
- All of his hits were timely.
Pat Beay who has been pitching great
ball for Beaumont faced the Lambs yes-
terday. Beay got hit. If ever he was a
"pbenom" beiore yesterday Dowie'a
husky blnglers punctured that reputation
Beay Is a good pitcher. Evidently yes-
terday was not his day. He waa neither
' effective nor waa hla delivery deceptive.
One thing can be asid in Mr. fleaye fav-
or however he gave bis fellow-players
both the Infield and out plenty of work
to da They chased balls all the after-
noon from one end of the lot to toe other.
As a certain fan remarked: "I'll bet that
right fielder has run Ave miles."
Errors and mlsplays galore were made
by both teams. Houston Is charged with
' six misplays and the visitors with five
but In the face of the terrific alugging
there could hardly be any complaint auout
be fielding of either team.
Edmondson and Logan the two center
(Beidera both turned some pretty catches.
-Abstain made some pretty stops and
(throw. Markley and Paullg had but lit-
tle to do. Wade Moore did weU behind
ne eat. a captured three row (lies and
a last run alter each and they
all caught a. critical stages of the
McDtrltt and Abateln were the chief
rkers having four 'hits apiece. Ed-
mdaon and Nelson each cot three
Magles and every man on the Houston
team got one or more hits. Pauhg waa
(the only man on either team that failed
go score a run.
The Lambs started the ball rolling right
Id the first inning. After Barrett had
track but McDlvltt Edmondson and
bowl singled but A ostein and Moore
.' struck out leaving the three Lambs glued
to the pillows. After Beaumont had been
retired without scoring In the second the
Lambs got busy again and sent four men
around the circuit. Markley perished at
first. Westlatke and Nelson blngled. Bar-
rett filed out to Logan. McDlvltt hit aafe
to right. "Mac" took a long lead off
Bret and pulled a throw from McMurray
had Westiake scored on the play and
Kelson went to third and McDlvltt to
second on the throw home. Edmondson
hit aafe past third and Nelson and ilo-
pivltt tabbed. Bartley fumbled the hit
and Edmondson went to second. Evor-
hardt threw Dowle hit Into the bleach-
Irs and Edmondson registered.
Houston scored another run In the third
on a double by Markley and a single by
Nelson. Beaumont scored in the fourth
on a hit by Everhardt and a double by
Bartley. Houston had three men left on
the bases In the- fourth. The fifth Inning
waa the greatest batting Inning that haa
been aeen In Houston for many a day.
Beaumont scored ten runs and Houston
didn't look to have any more chance than
a fat missionary at a South Sea Island
tea party. Seventeen men went to the
bat for Beaumont and they made eight
nlta one of them a double and the
Lambs made four errors. Then Houston
went In. Nelson was disposed of at first.
Barrett promenaded. McDlvltt and Ed-
mondson blngled and Dowle died at first.
Abateln cracked out a hit to right and
Barrett and McDlvltt crossed the plate.
Abateln atole second. Logan dropped
Moore's fly after a long run and Ed-
mondson and Abstain scored. Markley
filed out to Logan. . The score was now
11 to t In favor of the enemy.
Neither team scored In the sixth. Beau-
mont scored twice in the seventh on a
double by Page and singles by Morris
and JCverhardt For Houston Dowle
walked then Abateln Moore and Paullg
who had taken Westiake place cracked
out aafe hits Dowle Abeteln and Moore

eighth and won the game on hits by Mc-

Why the First Game Was De-
clared Forfeited.
When Wade Moore slgne3 with Beau-
mont some three weeks ago snd Moore
was awarded to Beaumont pending a de-
cision by President Farrell it was agreed
by Rlelly and Greer that should Moore
be awarded to Houston any games won
by Beaumont from Houston with Moore
playing on the Beaumont team should be
thrown out and. played over the same as A
posiponeo games. Beaumont won two
game with Moor playing on the team.
These gamee have been thrown out.
Wednesday night Mr. Rlelly owner of
the Houston franchise notified George
Page captain of the Beeemont club to
have his team at the ball park At 1
o'clock aa the first of the protested
games would be played yesterday and
play be called at that hour and the reg-
ular scheduled game would be played
after the first came had been finished.
Neither Caotain Psn nor-fhe Unoimnni
team were at the park at the appointed.
' - ' rni iuun. uiejr posi
tions In the field and the pitcher threw
nine balls over the plate and Umpire
Dixon declared the game - forfeited to
Houston by the score of.Tilne ruas to
nothing. The game will be counted as a
victory for Houston unless otherwise de-
cided at the league meeting which will
be held In tne next few days. Rlelly
sad Page were seen last night by The
Post representative and both gentlemen
gave their versions which are as follows:
MR. RIETLT'8BTAXEMENT.
Mr. George Page captain qf the Beau-
mont club declines to play over tho two
games won from Houaton with the as-
sistance ot Wade Moore one of Hous-
ton' players. -r
At. a special meeting of the league
called f d the purpose of . deciding upon
the Wade Moore case Mr. Greer attended
the meeting as president of the Beau-
mont club; ho represented the owners and
directors of that club and as such rep-
resentative he agreed with the other man-
agers In this Icitgtie that the services of
Wade Moore would be left for Mr. Farrell
to decide aa to which club he belonged.
Pending the decision of Mr W-arrell Moore
was to play with Beaumont with the
understanding that in cam Mr. Farrell
awarded Moore to Houston any games
won by Beaumont with the assistance ot
Moore that the other managers of the
league would have the privilege of pro-
testing them. Managera Johnson and
Blackburn at once said thst Moore could
pisy with Beaumont aa long aa they
wanted him and that they would not pro-
test any games participated In by Moore.
Manager Rlelly Immediately notified the
fresldent and other managers of this
eague that he then and there gave no-
tice that he protested against any game
won by Beaumont from llouatonln which
Moore took part.
The meeting disbanded with the under-
standing that uny games won from Hous-
ton with the assistance of Moors were to
be played over if that player was award-
ed to Houston.
Now Mr. Page says that he has In-
structions from the directors of Ms club
to do as he plesses about playing them
over and that be positively refuses to
play them.
It is very likely that "a meeting of the
league will be called to take some ao-
tlon in tbe matter.
MR. FAuE-fTvERSION.
Mr. Page's reason for declining to again
play the grimes over won from Houston
In which Moore participated Is as fol-
lows: After the league meeting disband-
ed awaiting the decision of Mr. Farrell
Mr. Grrer notified Captain Page that the
directors of the league had decided total-
low Beaumont to play Moore perming
Mr. Farrell's decision and did not notify
or In any way Indicate that any (tames
in which Moore participated Would ho
protested. So laptnin Puge was In Ignor-
ance of any protest having been entered
by the Houston management and thought
that he waa playing him for the time
awaiting Mr. Farrell s decision.
Mr Page now states that had he known
ny protest had een registered he would
not have allowed Moore to play as at
that time Beaumont stood an excellent
chance of winning the first series and he
would Have taken no chances on having
any gamea thrown out.
Mr. Page'a position Is fully explained
In this and as he had no instructions
from the president ot his club aa to what
the conditions were under which Moore
was plavlng his position Is Justifiable in
the view he lakes of it.

Of these flye men the best Known Is
Ellery .Clark.' The Boston lan has aa In-
ternational reputation and was a member
of the famous Boston A. A. team which
won the i Olympian championship at Ath-
ene In IKK. Clark won the running broad
Jump ad running high junip at that

effect that he Is In good condition.
Th dnrk horse of the event may be
Orleb. Nothing Is known of this man In
the athletic world save reports which
have emanated from Philadelphia and
which are to the effect that he hna an
excellent chance of winning the title.
Yale Won the Freshman Race
from Harvard by Half Second.
(Associated Free Report.)
New Ixindon Conn. June 10. The thou-
sand who Journeyed to the Thames for
tbe annual Yale-Harvard boat race saw
one of the best freshman race that ever
ha been rowed on arav course and then
for eight hours the crowd aat In the ralnT
and waited In vain first for the 'varsity
four-oared race which waa postponed
and finally for the big 'varsity eight-
oared race. Finally early. In the evening
'both the 'varsity and four-oared races
were put over until tomorrow.
Yale won the freehman race by half a
second or a quarter of a boat' length.
For the two miles of this race the two
si ells xlgsHgged and neither crew ever
had an advantage of more than a length.
It was one of the moat remarkable boat
races In the history of Intercollegiate
rowing.
Just as the hist half-mile flag was
passed Yale began the spurt that won
the race. She Jumped her stroke up to
thirty-six nnd began to pull ahead Inch
by inch. Harvard did not make her ef-
fort until an eighth of a mile from the
finish. Then her stroke went to thirty-
eight but It was too late. Yale waa
leading by the length ot her canvas bow
as the flags dipped at the finish. The
two flags went down almost simultane-
ously and It waa several minutes before
the crews knew who had won. Finally
the referee shouted out the name of the
winner and the Yale youngsters set up In
the shell and gave a Tale cheer with
"Harvard" on the end pf It. Vale had
won by Just half a second. Tale's time
was 10:10; Harvard M:20t.
