Default O/T Rummies and Bleacher Rabble

GIANTS LEAD WILD RIOTING

Twenty Thousand Fans Chase Umpires from Field.

Crowd Assaults Players and Latter Retaliate.

National League in Chaotic Conditions as Result.


[BY DIRECT WIRE TO THE TIMES.]

The third game of the sensational series between the on-rushing Cubs and the blown Giants, ended in a riot at the Polo Grounds this afternoon, when an angry mob of 20,000 fans chased Umpires Emslie and O'Day from the field and interrupted one of the most sensational contests ever seen in this part of the country.

The trouble cropped up in the ninth inning. With McCormick on third and Merkle at first, Bridwell rapped a beauty over second base. Instead of running to second Merkle waited till Bridwell overhauled him and the two immediately beat it for the clubhouse. In the meantime Johnny Evers grasped the situation and called to Hofman for the ball. By this time McCormick had crossed the plate and the crowd had swarmed onto the field.

A couple of "rummies" jostled Evers as he went to make the catch at second and the ball bounced off his back to Pfiester. The pitcher promptly returned it to the bag but McGinnity, who saw what was being pulled off by the Cubs, intercepted the throw and tried to make off with the spheroid. He was tackled by the entire Chicago infield, and after being jostled about a great deal pitched the ball into the crowd. Emslie here called Merkle out, and when Evers carried the intelligence to O'Day, Hank ordered the field cleared for action.

By this time fully 5000 of the bleacher rabble were around the veteran official, but amid cat calls and hisses and threats of violence he stood his ground. The police finally broke through to his rescue and hustled O'Day into the little pen under the grand stand. O'Day declared as he as unwillingly closeted that the game would have to proceed, and ordered the police to clear the grounds.

Frank Chance tried to get to O'Day but was jostled back by the crowd. After he was closeted with Emslie for half and hour both umpires declared they had made no decision and that the game would stand 2 to 1 in favor of the Giants, under protest. No official ruling has yet been made.

McGraw, without a pitcher left in condition to work except his minor-league recruits, declares angrily that he will not pay two games tomorrow, and that he claims the game.

PULLIAM DENIES RUMOR.
While the game has been protested by the Chicago Cubs, President Pulliam denied tonight that he had taken any action in the matter, as he cannot tell and will not do so until the case has been presented to him in the regular announcement. Following is Pulliam's statement:,

"The New York stock ticker tonight, having carried this statement: 'Harry Pulliam, president of the National League, decides today's game between Chicago and New York a tie, and announces that it must be played over.' say such statement is unauthorized. I have made no decision, and I will not until the matter is presented to me in regular form."

The score:
Chicago, 1; hits, 5; errors, 3.
New York 2; hits, 7; errors, 0.
Batteries--Pfeister and King: Mathewson and Bresnahan.
Umpires--O'Day and Emslie.



Kids are asleep and wife has a headache. Thus, I'm left with too much time on my hands. Can we see some cards of all the parties mentioned in this play?

Lovely Day...
