DOYLE ASSAULTS CORBETT
New Senator Had to be Dragged
Away From Brother joe
The Baltimore and All-America
Teams on Tneir Way East After
II Most Profitable Trip.

New York, Dec. 10. The Baltimore and
AH-America baseball teams, which were
taken on tour to San Francisco by Man
ayers Seclee and Barnie, have disba nded,
and the members OF the party are on their
way East.
According TO letters received from Jen-
nings aud Kelly, of the Baltiniores, the
trip mas been SO profitable that each
player Will bring home about $3.50 as lis
share.
Jack Doyle marred the pleasure Of tie
trip by losing his temper. Last sumner
he iusuted Joe Corbett whIle the Btiti-
uores were playing at Brooklyn, SO that
joe left the field in disgust. 1t seems
that I;oyie never got over this, and real
iZinG that ne was recently traded FROM
the Baltimore ciut for tits reason, he
lost control OF hiims elf and proceeded
to assault Corbett while the tourists Were
at Sacramento.
Jennings writes that the pla yers had 70
drag Doyle away from "Pompadour Jim's''
brother, which seems surprising, In view
Of Joe's feputa ton is a clever boxer.
That Hanlun knew what ne was doing
when he traded Doyle TO Washington be-
comes more apparent every day.
