MERIDEN COPS TAKE GAME AFTER HART MAKES PROTEST Score Is 43 at Close— Palmer and Umpire in Clash--1ll Feeling Mars Otherwise Good Contest Questionable umpiring marred th second game of the apnual two game between the New Britain and M police baseball teams yes- terday afternoon at Hano park, Meriden, and which resulted in: a victory for Meriden by a one run raargin, The game was played out after Chief Willlam C. Hart of the New Britain police department an- noupced in the seventh inning that the N Britain team would play emainder of the game under protest. The gam hard fought and well played throughout, the op- posing pitchers, Palmer for New n and Kline for Meriden hold. thelr opponents well in hand in practically every fnning. The umpiring throughout the of a poor quality, and on ion the two arbiters were in an argument between themselves. In the early part of the game, F was at bat and e hit a ball that ap- parently went directly over the in- side of first bi The ball was caught and Feensy was called out at first by Corkens, who declarad it to bs a fair ball, the umpire behind the bat had call- od a strike on Feeney, declaring it to be a foul ball, The umpires had a few werds, but ths umpire-in-| chief had t st word and Feen went to bat again. In the seventh inning a decision | was'made by Umpire Corkens in the | fleld that almost resulted in the for- feiting of the ga to Meriden, as the New Britain team was called o the fleld by Chiet Hart who an- nounced that if the game was to be resumed it would bs under protest Heated arguments were held all over the lot and many fistic en- counters were narrowly averted, but the Meriden officials finally agreed to complete the game under the pro- test entered by Chief Hart. The decision was made after Hig- gins of .the Meriden team had ein- gled and advanced to second on a sacrifice. ‘Baer lifted a fly to center field. Higgins had been playing well off second base and with the pitch had advanced about half way be- tween second and third. When he saw that the ball had been batted in the air and apparently Into Rouskie's hands, he started back for | the base. The ball hit Rouskie’s glove and bounded out again, but after fumbling it a few seconds, Rouskie managed to hold it without letting it drop to the ground, He threw the ball to Blanchard at third and although Blanchard was able to make & play at third he ran up on the ball and carried it to sccond base, claiming a double play. Cor- kens, umpiring in the fleld, declared the runner-safe at third. The New Britain cohorts were to their feet in 2 minute expressing their disapprov- al, elaiming that Higgins had not gone all the way back to second base and that he had not touched the base after the ball had first touched Rouskie's glove. The protest of Chie? Hart was en- | tered on the play and the game was resumed with Higgins on third. He scored when the next man up hit. If the play had been a double out, the final score would have been even at three runs for each team, It remained for the final inning to produce the play en which the de- cislon of Corkens led to a fistic en- counter between Palmer, the visit- ing pitcher and the umpire, Palmer had been chafing under what he considered to be a ‘raw deal” throughout the afternoon and his feelings bolled over in the first half of the inning. Palmer opened the inning with a eingle and on the next pitch was off for second base. Boldt threw to Slater who swung around in an at- tempt to tag Palmer, who was just swerving behind him. Corkens, who ‘was standing back of the second ‘baseman, called Palmer out, and there was an immediats how! from the New Britain rooters, Without stopping, Palmer turned around and rushed back at the umgire, making a punch at him with his left fist and then both men were preparing to battle further, but the other players separated them before any blows were struck. Several other near bat- tles started during arguments on the play, but they were squelched be- fore any hard blows were struck. That thers was reason for disput- ‘ng the play was without question, for the Meriden first baseman sald that he saw plainly that Slater did zot touch Palmer, and others along the first base bleachers claimed the same. The crowd that had surged onto the fleld was herded back, and the game continued. At the banquet that followed the | game, Chiet Hart announced that the decisions of the umpires would be taken up at & meeting of the athletic officials of the New Britain dapartment, and until then, he could not say anything as to the policy the New Britain team would pursue in theyfuture, Chairman David L. Dunn of the New Britain police com- missioners said that he felt that baseball games should be left on the baseball field, and that any unpleas- ant occurrences during a game should be laft there also, and not carried to mar future friendly rela- tions. | Commissioner Edwin A, Parker of the New Britain police commis- sion said that he felt that the games | ‘wers taken too seriously by the re- spective police departments and that he felt this should not be zo. He emphasized the fact that the games | are eonducted for the benefit of the | pension funds of the departments, \ and for the development o fa spirit |that it was rumored that T was to be | jett school, 2nd for the development of a spirit and New Britain police departments. He said that last year, the Meriden team felt that it had received a raw desl from the umpires in New Brit- | and this New Britain .felt | they had recelvad a raw deal. “This | rmakes both teams even, 80 now we In the meantime, | | his resignation from |tice has been inaugurated, to the ef. can start in again on an even hasis", he coneluded The banquet was concluded when the entire gathering joined In three cheers for the opposing teams at the yequest of Mayor Henry T, King who asked that the eceurrences of the afternoon be forgotten and friendly relations he continued be. tween the two departments.
