Brouxns 10 . sudden Close.

Brouxhs i0 = sudden Close.
The Wilmington and Cincinnati club
began 10 play the third game Of the
present series yesterday afternoon, but
toward the end OF the fourth inning
the game was brought TO q sudden
close, by the umpire meeting with IN
accident which came near resultinG
fatal. The game opened with the home
club at the bat, whom two runs were
scored on three singles, aided by
Briody's error. In the remaining three
innings they were blauked. The visi-
tors In their first scored three uneesned
runs on one scratch hit, 3 tase on balls,
two errors and several passed bAlls.
| In the third inning they scored two
more uuesrned runs on . single, 3 pou-
BILE and several passed balls. Crane
opened the fourth inning, reached hrst
through error OF Snyder and soon got
around to third. Sylvester was retired
at first. Glssscock then grasped the
ash and after one ball had been called
made hard strike at the second bal J..
The ball graxed the bat, glanced slight-
ly upward and passing along struck
the umpire,J. p. Dutton, q terrific blow
| In the mouth. The man stood stfll for
a few seconds and then dropped as
though he had been shot. The audience
at once supposed he was dead, and in
consequence they became greatly excl
ted. The players ran for ice water and
inquiries were made for o physician.
Fortunately, DIR. A. Il. Frantz was on
the grounds, and lie Immediately ran TO
the injured mans assistance. Upon
| examination 1t was found that Du tton
had received q compound dislocation
| of the lower jaw, which had pressed
the wind pipe together, and the man
was rapidly suffocating.
His eyes and tongue were prott uding
but after repeated efforts the physician
succeeded In reducing the dislocated
jaw. During the operation, however,
the man was seized with two nervous
spasms, which caused him TO writhe in
great agony. Cold water was literally
supplied, but for time all efforts to re-
vivehim proved unsuccessful. He was
then removed to the shade of the left
| field fence, where he revived after q
few draughts of liquor were given him.
In add itiOn TO being hurt by the ball,
the man was considerably frightened
and nervous, for he repeatedly called
out for some one to save him from the
| crowd, whom he imagined would do
him bodily harm. The crowd kept
back, and he was conveyed to the
Clayton House, where he soon recov-
cred sufficiently enough to walk about,
a. d was on the street last night.
| His upper lip is cut and fearfuUy
swollen, and several teeth were loosen.
ed by the blow. Dutton ia young
man, seemingly about 80 years OF age,
and resides In Hartford. Such pain.
ful scene was never before witnessed on
a Wilmington base ball ground, and
during the excitement several persons
tainted ard became deathly sick. Had
1t not been for the timely presence OF
DIR. Frantz, the man would have died
from suffocatiou.
| After the mans recovery was assured
the game was about to proceed with
Wash. Williams as umpire, but after
a short consultation it was decided by
both managers to declare the game q
draw, wich was accordingly done by
Williams. 1t is stated, however, that
manager Crane afterwards relented and
now wants to claim the game.
