Six thousand base ball enthusiasts saw
a rowdy named Wilmot incite 1000 Min
neapolis hoodlums to attack Umpire
Mannassau at Lexington park yesterday
afternoon. after WiImot, with the same
logged disregard for the ordinary de-
cencies supposed to prevail even among
such as him which has characterized his
conduct on the diamond for years and
made his name synonymous with ruffian-
ism and the opposite of fair play on the
national base ball arena, had forfeited a
game that was as good as lost.
The st. Paul players and the st. Paul
police, however, were prepared for such
an emergency, as they have been on the
occasion of every Sunday base ball game
with Minneapolis since Wilmot has been
captain and manager of the Mill city
team, and, as a result, they managed to
get small guard of sturdy fellows be-
tween Mannassau and the outside world
within few seconds from the time when
Wilmot, hearing the game declared for
feited because of his obstinate refusal to
recognize the discipline of the league,
turned on his heel, and, shaking his fist
in Mannassau's face, started toward the
umpire again, exclaimlng:
Come on, boys"
One thousand men and boys had been
sitting and standing In the field in front
OF the stands, and at every opportunity
interfering with the ST. Paul PLAYERS.
although it was noteworthy that they
broke ranks whenever Dixon or Andrews
or Werden came in pursuit of the bali
forthwith this horde descended on the
diamond like wolves, eager to gnaw the
bones of the umpire, but before the first
OF them had reached him Eddie Burke
and Glenalvin had brushed by Mr.
Mannassau and prepared for any over
lures the Minneapolis captain might want
TO make. 1sbell, Lally and the other stall
warts of the st. Paul team were quickly
followed by Sergeant Arnold, of the
Prior avenue police station, and several
patrolmen in uniform, who, with Man
ager Comiskey, escorted Mannassau to
the club house without him being the
recipient of any injury anything worse
IMAM Vituperation by the rowdies who
mad responded to Wilmot's invitatio
1t IS probable that the MINNEAPOLIS cap
tain will endeavor to hide behind the
subterfuge that his exclamation, Come
on, boys" was intended for his team, and
not for the crowd, but those who have
known the blasphemous blackguard In
the past, and have heard him apply to
hearing of women in the crowds, epfthets
so low as to be unfit for the mouth of
man. let alone the reproduction of a
printed page, will take with grain of
salt any excuse offered as ''post-mor-
TENS" by a captain who may be brought
at last to a realization of the fact that
his rowdyism has at last overstepped the
bounds of decency so far as to bring him
within the pale Of possible suspension by
the president of the league before whom
the facts will be formally laid
ANDREWS WAS ABUSIVE.
The trouble started in this wise: An
drewS, the rowdies third baseman, was
at bat in the ninth inning, the chief
rowdy having gained second base through
Denzer's temporary alteration. Umpire
s Mannassau called strike on Andrews,
to which the batsman took exception, but
1t was absolutely of no moment anyway.
as the next ball pitched went high In the
air and Shugart caught the fly. Andrews.
instead of running down the base line,
started toward Mannassau, who was
watching the course of the ball, and, get
