Powers by name-Sholters, second b;.e-
man of the home team, rushed up and struck
jennings on the check, and Doyle promptly
landed on Soltcrs' face. Instantly the
blcachcrites, police and players made for
the spot, and Il moment later there was u
r,;iss of struggling people on the Orioles.
Doyle was knocked down and kicked on the
body and hammered in the head by three
men, one of whom was named Hubbard
and it was Il wonder he was not seriously
hurt.
In the meantime the other players hau
come up. and Joe Kelley was soaked three
times by this Hubbard. Robinson also got
IN the throng. and . one-armed man called
Heath hit him in the face. keelcr was

MAJOR Tupon. who is travelling with the
Baltimore team, pulled Off, and then the
affair ended as quickly as it began.
There were several bats in the crowd. hut
No one was hurt by them. The boys at once
got in their bus and got off the grounds.

said he wanted To speak to him.
Kelley invited him To come in the hotel
and as the two were passing the door lead
ing into narrow hallway, Quarlcs jumped
on Kelley and AT once half dczcn more
people were in the row. Steve Brodie got
in this fight in earnest, and while he was
plugginga way AT Hubbard, who haiknock kcd
Doyle down at the grounds, Quarlcs was
soaking him.
QUARLES GOES THROUGH THE DOOR.
DOYLE, Robinson and Kelley were on the
edges and, owing To the contracted space,
were unable to help Brolie. Help came IN
the shape of Nr. Liebert, proprietor OF the
Appomattox Hotel, who plowed through
the Gro wd like an engine, and after stri king
cutting him badly, he threw him out of the
door like a shot, and then forced Hubbard
out
This practically ended the trouble, al
though there were one or two ineffective
efforts to resume it. Hubbard was espec-
any wild, and when the team left he was
struggling with some policemen. The po-
lice did not make any arrests, although they
offered to, if the team would stay over and
appear against the parties arrested.
DID NOT GET ANY MONEY.
The failure OF the Baltimore team 10 con-
tlnuc the game prompted the manager OF
th,. home team to withhold the visiting
clubs share of the gate receipts, amounting
20 S1U5.

The warm sun put life into each club, and
a pretty, snappy game was being put up on
each side Hoffcr did great WORK in tls:
first five innings, striking out six Inen and
allowing the local talent but one hit.
StocEsdalc struck out two men and gave
but one hit. Willie BILLY Quarles was touched
M five times by the orioles, three of whom
he struck out. Twice the birds had men on
third and were prevented from scoring.
and when the seventh opened excitement
was at fever heat.
