Pittsburg, Pa, July 22.-The $500 peo-

| fight, an umpire rotten egged and two
good games all for one price Of admis-

Sheridan gave a batsman his base on
balls and when he went out behind the
pitchers box to watch second Hawley
said something to him and Sheridan
struck Pink a blow ON the cheek. Haw-
ley retaliated, and with two well aimed
blows knocked Sheridan down and out.
Hawley was put out of the game and
Hastings substituted.
In the second game Hawley was put
in to pitch, and Jennings, the third man
up, was given first on what Sheridan
called an illegal delivery. This set the
crowd wild and in few minutes shower
of i'll smelling eggs fell around the UNI
| pire and he had to stop the game until
Can't. Donovan could come in from the
field and restore order. Both games were
well played. Attendance, $500. Score:
