lying at his feet, and threw II to the floor witt
: | great force.
? Jack Lynch, pitcher for the same club ant
| owner of the dog, demonstrated, and finally
t | seized Roseman Ivy the throat. scuffie en-
Q sued, and both men sprawled on the floor
: | Lynch uppermost
The crowd interfered, and then Rosemai
made speech.
. "No man." he said, scan choke Jimm,
, Roseman of the Metropolitan base ball club
No man ever did choke him, and no maj
might, could, would or should choke him
|, and live"
Lynch tried to paciy him. Rosemal
O. jumped up and down, gesticulated wildly
thumped i'm the chest little boy who cam
| in for pint of beer and nearly knocked hin
down, pulled his coat half off and pulled
, on again, and tipped over a table and sewers
70 chairs. The crowd scattered. Barring tn
