court of law. The case has been one
that has, by its peculiar features,
served as a point of dispute. the like OF
which the league has not had deal with
In years. There are so many points OF
interest in the case and the details lead
ing up to the fining of the rowdyish
player who leads the fine players from
the Ohio metropolis that the baseball
public is never tired of hearing and
talking about it.
The whole trouble was started in a
game in Louisville in which there was
a great deal of disputing. That was
during the series OF games there the
middle part of June. There was some
fining done by the umpire at the time,
but the real trouble did not start until
the Clevelands W. about to leave the
grounds. There was a disgraceful mix
up between some of the spectators and
the Cleveland players, and the police
were prompt in gathering in Tebeau
and his men and they were carted away
to a police station. The next morning
Tebeau was fined by a justice of the
peace, as were several other of the noisy
men under him. Added to the trouble
at Louisville, there came a game on the
spiders own grounds in hich the Chi
cago players were mixed up to GER
tain extent. Lynch was umpire that
day and he made the trouble all the
worse by loudly Offering to go off the
field with Tebeau and fight il out.
Heard by the Crowd.
Tebeau was quite willing to accept,
but the cooler heads OF the party pre-
vailed upon the men to be peaceable.
That was the end of Lynch's work for
that day. He took off his mask and
protector and positively refused to
have anything further to do with the
game as it is played in Cleveland.
Lynch promptly filed a protest against
Tebeau with President Young of the
league. charging him with the grossest
kind of misconduct on the field The
charges and those from Louisville were
brought up for hearing before the trial
beard OF the league which met in Pitts
burg on July 2. The charges were thor
oughly considered by the magnates who
were members of the committee and
the result was that a fine of 5000 was
imposed on Tebeau, the same to be paid
within ten days from notice. Failing
TO pay the fine, Tebeau was to be sus-
pended by the league until the matter
was settled.
Not only did the Cleveland leader
fail to pay the fine but he engaged
legal talent. and the result of that was
he was advised to apply for an injunc-
ton restraining the league from the
collection of the fine or interference
with him as captain and first baseman
of the team. The injunction was sweep
ing in its scope, and a copy of it was
served on all the teams in the league.
The plan at first thought of was to
thrown out all the games played by the
Clevelands, but that move was prevent
ed by Tebeau, and the injunction was
made to cover that point as well as all
the others.
Then followed a long argument in
the newspapers between Frank De Hass
