Kid Cars'y and Tip o'Ne'l Battle Be

Kid Carsry and Tip o'NeI Battle Be-
fore Select Few.
There was a startling denouement 10 the
game at the Haight-street grounds yester-
day. in the shape of fight with bare
knucklcs between Tip ONeil and young
Carsey of the Oaklands. For some time
past no love has been lost between the
Pooh Bah of the Oakland team and
the young twrler, and the reasons ascribed
for the rupture are many and varied.
Some assert that the green-eyed monster
figured in the case, but others maintain that
the difficulty grew out Of a triflng differ
Colonel often presents his captain with the
ater-tickets as mark of his appre-
citation for the great TIPS services.
Some few weeks ago it is said that
O'Neil sold Carsey two of these seats for
90 cents, the pitcher handing him half-dol-
lar piece. When the day came for the set
Element of the teams ferry expenses Tip in
formed Carsey that he was indebted to
him in the sum of half a dollar,
as the price he placed on the tickets was
he had settled for them at the time. and
O'Neil, who attends to the reimbursement
of the players for their ferry fares, said that
he would deduct the amount from what was
due Carsey. The little pitcher informed
O'Neil what he thought of a man who
mated that he would get even. ONeil
said he was willing TO accom-
odate him at a room in the hotel or in any
vacant lot if he wanted fight. CarSey judi
ciously replied, "Pll wait for a more favor
able opportunity when the season is ended.
O'Nei is also thought to have held out $50
which the Oakland team was promised by
the Sacramento management II they won
three of the last four games with the Friscos.
1t is not known positively whether
not, but O'Nel is credited with saying that
he'd be jay to dizzy up with the team If
he could keep it all himself" AS ONeil
did not take part in any of the games the
players thought if he did receive the money
from Sacramento it was dshonOrable in
him to hold it out on them, and several
were very outspoken in the matter.
However, things came to crisis
yesterday, for Carsey disputed O'NeiPs
right to the ball at the close of the game,
claiming he, as captain. had no more right
to il than any one else, because 1t was not
league game, and saying that all their other
difficulties could he settled then and there
in the unconventional style with bare fists.
Tip was willing and they both stripped to
the waist when they reached their dressing
room. A ring was speedily formed, the doors
were securely closed, one of the players was
selected referee. and the principals
then went at it. Neither was very scienced,
but both possessed considerable pluck, ten

the end of the tenth round ii was decided
to separate them. From outward appear
ance Carsey had much the best of
ii, as ONeil carries well-dec-
Grated left optic and several abrasions
on different parts of his physiognomy.
One of his hands is also badly bruised.
Carsey did not look much the worse for the
battle, with the exception of huge swell
ing on his forehead, supposed to have been
received by his falling against one of the
benches in the room. The pitcher says that
when they were clinched O'Neil attempted
10 bite his ear off. Colonel Robinson threat
ened Carsey with Establishment. bat it is
doubtful if he can take any action in the
matter as the pitcher is no longer under
contract to him.
