Text	W. H. Hawed of Lowell, Mass., acted as umpire in the two games between the Detroit and Boston Clubs on the Fourth of July in Detroit, Mich. The contest in the afternoon was won by the Bostons by 14 to 1, and during its progress the spectators, exasperated because the home-club was being outplayed at every point, continually greeted the umpire with insulting remarks, jeers and hisses. After the game the crowd tried to mob him. Four policemen came to his rescue, but efforts to disperse the mob were unavailing, and the ill-starred umpire was finally saved by being thrust into a carriage and driven rapidly to his hotel. Hawes notified the Detroit Club the following morning that he was not hog, that he had had enough, and that another umpire would have to take his place in the game July 6. Comment is unnecessary.
