He seemed to be Icsing some of his old speed and his general play fell away. Verging on thirty, it was figured around that Larry was beginning to slip Then in 1915 Doyle moved back to .220 and lead the league. For 1916 ¥is showing is ever better than last season's count.

Hartford, June 7—Vice President Dan O’'Neil of the Eastern league handed down a decision on the pro- test of Manager Danny Murphy of New Haven over the game in this city Friday afternoon. He has ordered the contest played over. The game, as decided, was a 2-to-1 victory for the Hartford club. Manager Murphy protested over a decision rendered by Umpire Mutt Waters. New Haven placed men on first and second with two down in the ovening inning and the next man doubled to center. Dug- gan, the local outer gardener, played for the man who was on first at third, while the player on second raced home. It was a perfect throw to the dizzy corner, and the man was out there. Dis- not cross the plate before the out was made at third and therefore the score did not count. Manager Murphy was put out of the contest when he claim- ed Waters did not see the runner at home, and New Haven continued under protest. The final score would have been ed. Vice President O'Neil interviewed the umpire, and Waters it is said, ad- mitted he did not watch the plate at the time. The officlal scorer was called on at the time of the game, but Vice President O’Neil ruled any- one outside the game should not be appealed to In these cases, and based his final decision on the point that Waters did not see the play at home. T “QUIG” FOR COACH. Not the W. K. Local Mayor, But Big League Arbiter. St. Louls, June 7.—E, C. Quigley an umpire in the National League and for several years the director of ath- letics at St. Mary’'s College of Kansas, has heen offered the position of foot- ball coach by St. Louis University, it was announced yesterday. The sign- ing of a contract will be delayed until Quigley has time to confer with President Tener of the National League. If he accepts the position, Quig- ley would have to take up his coach- ing duties by the middle of September at the latest. If Tener will permit him to quit his umpiring work then, Quigley will take the job. “Quig” is the most versatile of umpires. He is also a basketball coach and several winters ago was an instructor in the latest dances. TINKERS WANTS EVERS. Emanating From Boston Re- vives the Old Report, Chicago, June 7.—Stories printed here yesterday, under a Boston date, say that Manager Joe Tinker of the Chicago Natjonals will begin negotia- tion calculated to bring Johnny Evers of the Boston club back to the Cubs. The stories could not be con- firmed here. Similar yarns were circulated be- fore the opening of the season. While Evers and Tinker are probably agreed that Evers would do his best work in a Chicago uniform, it is not likely that George Stallings will consent to let Evers go. WALSH STILL THERE. “Bill” Walsh of this city, a student at Fordham college, -achieved a rotable event in sporting annals in New York last Sunday when he sent the Lincoln Stars, one of the fastest semi-pra teams in the country, down to defeat, score 2 to 0. The defeat of the Stars was the second attained in five years, the other having been secured by the Washington American league team with Walter Johnson pitching, two vears ago. “Bill” worked for the Bronx Athletics.
