TRAEGER-FIsHER INCIDENT.
The Encounter In Wilmington as Described
In the Papers There

So much interest is felt in the matter
of the difficulty between Traegar, Raj
eigh's left fielder, and Fisher, Whining
toms catcher, that the account of the
Wilmington papers is reproduced. Fisher
is all right and is now playing ball and
he and Treagar have satisfactorily adj
justed matters. Traegar is out on bond
and will be tried today
The Wilmington Star says: "Charters
came up and was hit by a pitched ball.
Two strikes were called on Traeger in
quick succession and he yelled at the
umpire. Fisher came from behind the
bat and motioned across the plate the
way the ball had gone. With Fisher in
front of him Traeger either spit in
Fishers face or Duckered his lips as is
the custom with some players on the
field. This naturally incensed Fisher
and he brushed the batter with his nit.
Traeger retaliated by striking him with
the bat in his hand Just over the left
hip near the kidney. Then riot nearly
occurred, but the police saved Traeger
and Fisher was taken to the hospital"
The Messenger says that during the
kicking of Traegar against the umpire
Fisher took part in the argument
probably without good ground, =
seemed to so much further incense
Traeger that he either spat, or at
tempted to do so. in Fishers face. This
called for slap in the face from Fisher.
whereupon Traegar dealt him a most
cowardly and vicious blow in the side
from the heavy bat in his hands.
