you the truth, l lost my temper. However.
l thought the matter over, and decided
that the proper time to act had arrived. l
did not want to be at one end of a glass
hurting match. So l picked up the glass
that had struck my foot and cut loose. My

hoped in this way to scare any one who
contemplated starting an assault upon me.

uppermost in my mind when I saw those
two glasses thrown upon the field. and I
did not intend to stand idly by and do
nothing to defend myself. l am very sorry
that the thing came up, and hope that it
is the last scene of it's kind that 1 ever fig
ure in upon ball field"
