Commissioners Team.
FOUR MEN WERE INJURED
"Tubby" Dickinson Distinguished
Himself 10y Badly wounding Morri-
sons Hand-The Latter Had TO Go
10 the Hospital to BE Treated.
Jones Roughly Treated Carr.

For downright slugging, brutal pan pay
ing, the District Commissioners team seems
10 be able 10 give cards and spades TO any
amateur team in the District They go at
the game as if they were playing football
and a small thing like spfiling half dozen
players in the course Of n game seems TO
them the most natural thing in the world.
They met the Y NJ. c. a. team at Capitol
Park yesterday and made up for their de-
feat 10y putting no less than four men IN
such a condition that they win not be able
10 play bah for a few days at least. One
OF them, Morrison, was so badly hurt that
he was taken to the Emergency Hospital.
There was one Of the largest crowds seen
at the park this year when the game was
called at O'Clock At the very outset
there was a discussion as to who should
umpire.
After wrangling over this for some
little time il was finally decided TO select
Tom Farrell, OF The Departmental League,
and Mr. Groves The latter gave the de-
cisions on bases
FINALLY GOT TO WORK.
When they finally got down to business
with Morrison in the box for the Young
Men and Fuller doing the twiTliug for
the Commissioners it was nearly $50
O'Clock.
''Nimpo" Jones was the first 10
go TO the bat, and he got his base on
balls The neXt three men hit safe, and
by the end of the inning they had scored
four runs. The Young Men then came
up and went out 10 one, two, three order.
The second inning proved veritable
picnic for the Christians, they scoring no
less than eight runs. Every one OF them
had a whack at the bail, and they smashed
it right and left.
Hasley, OF the Commissioners, started
the dirty work in this inning by giving
Harris, the first baseman OF the Y n. c.
A, the knee. He caught him full in the
face, bruising him considerably.
1t remained, no wever, for "Tubby'' Dick
inson 10 do the most brutal piece OF work
Of the game He deliberately spiked
Pitcher Morrison in the right hand, inflict-
ing such severe wound that after the game
he had TO have IL dressed at the Emergency
Hospital. Ii is feared the bones are broken.
The Commissioners managed to score
one more run in this inning. The Y. NJ.
c A got men on first and second, but could
not hit safely and did not succeed in getting
q man over the plate.
PERSISTED IN PLAYING.
The District boys added one more run
10 their score in the next inning, but the
Young Men failed to score, going out in
one, two, three order
Center Fielder Rarn had been put in the
box when Morrison had been spiked, and
the latter had taken his place Prof Sims,
the instructor OF the Y. NJ. c. A, wanted
him 10 leave the game, but he persisted in
playing.
Another run in the fifth for the Com
mjssiouers, and their opponents again
were retired without man reaching first
Two more runs for the District boys, and
none for the Young Men, put the former
two runs TO the good.
They did not hold their advantage long,
however, fortbey failed to get a man across
the plate in the seventh, and the Y. II. C.
A lads scored four runs Carr was the
first 10 step TO the bat, and went to
first on balls
Laughlin flied out, earns made hit,
advancing Carr, who scored on Browns
two-bagger TO deep center Dalton then
stepped up and popped an easy fly
up, which was gathered in. Morrison was
NAAt 4lN-AN man 10 Ett a " udNk dl the SUCK,
and despite his lame hand knocked out
twO-base hit, scoring Kams and Brown,
and then scored himself on a wild throw
ONE PARTING sPIKNG.
As far as any more runs were concerned
the game was over, b1 { the Commissioners
succeeded IN one parting piece of dirty
work. Jones became mixed up with Carr,
the catcher OF the Young Mems, and spiked
him in the foot Those who saw il done say
deliberately jumped on Carr's foot with the
intention of injuing him
After the eighth inning the game was
called on account of the darkness, after
they had been playing two hours and forty
minutes
The Y. NJ. c. A. boys and Professor Sims
were very indignant over the treatment
that they received at the hands of the Com
missioners, and said that they would ma ke
an attempt to have them kept off of the
field in the future.
To-day the Y NJ c. A. win play the Gov
ernment Printing Office.
Mr. Louis Sousa, president Of the District
Departmental League, called at The Times
office last evening TO say that he regretted
very much the trouble which occurred dur
ing the game
The matter, he said, will be thoroughly in
vestigated and the guilty parties severely
censured. He hopes to find, however, that
the Injuries inflicted were purely acci-
dental and unavoidable.
