Two players of the Cleveland base ball
club came to blows Saturday afternoon.
and for a time serious trouble was threat
ened in the team, which hopes to again win
the Temple cup. Center Fielder McAleer
has violent temper. He became enraged
Saturday afternoon because Tebeau called
to Blake to take u fly in McAleer's terri

plate. After the game McAleer violently
abused Blake until Tebeau interfered, when
he abused the captain. Tebeau threatened
beau and blackened his eye, and the other
players interfered to prevent a fight, as
Tebeau was ready for one by that time.
McAleer was at first suspended for the
rest Of the season. but as he afterward
apoloGized and Is too valuable a man to
lose from the team, the matter was patch
ed up.
