game at Pottsville yesterday say thai
Tighe's conduct on the diamond
was disgraceful and that the blows
struck were brought on by his use of fou
language He struck 0 Jackson, the frs
base man for the Cuban Giants The
negro went into Tighe and would have
whipped him badly were it not for out
side interference. The catcher for tn,
Giants begged the people to let the two
men fight it out, feeling confident tina
his first base man would land on top. Tht
Pottsville management should reprimanC
Tighe and nip such conduct in the bud
