The Cincinnati Enquirer contains the
following. which will be Of interest 70
local readers:
st. Paul, Mimi, August 17.-There
was a little affair at Lexington Park
this afternoon that was not down on the
bills. The old timers, George Tebeau
and Jack GlasscCck, came together at
and around first base. Glasscock led
for Tebeau's wind in the opening, but
fell short. Tebeaus LETT was planted
under GlasscOck's ear. GlasscOck
tented for Tebeau's face and gave him
a vicious Upper-cut in the jaw. The
men clinched and time was called,
while Umpire Haskell was breaking
them apart.
The second round opened with Te-
beau working hard and GlasscOck per-
sistently leading for Tebeaus nose.
After two futile attempts. in which Te-
beau mixed up with a sharp short
range blow on the shoulder Glasscock
brought the claret from Tebeau's nasal
organ. and first blood was given Glass
cock. although the match was de-
cl3red & draw.
Umpire Haskell put both men out Of
the game and the contest proceeded.
GlasscOck claimed Tebeau tried to
spike him in sliding to first base.
