SNAKE" Deal he Of the umpire smash
! ing fame started his favorite game at
Sou.h Side Park yesterday afternoon but
that is as far as the Harrisburg lanky
first haseman got. There is an end 90
everything, goes the Old saying, and at
| the present writing 1t looks as though
/ Deal has enough of umpire smashing af-
ter his experience yesterday.
The pugilistic BAN player snatched TIM
! pire Seniors mask or slapped him with
his glove hand and jabbed him lightly
! with his fist, but that Is al the fun that
! Deal had out OF the match. After that
many things happened as Johnnie Will
no doubt testify to. Senior retaliated by
striking the rowdy a blow ia the jaw
which made him look like a foct Butch"
Rementer the locals sturdy catcher then
caught the scrapper from Harrisburg by
the throat and choked him unit, his
tongue was out, throwing him back on
the bench as though he was a child
BY this time several hundred spectators
rushed on the field and for a time 81
looked as though Deal would be roughly
handled. There were about a dozen Of
hcers in the grounds and they soon SUR
rounded Deal. which Is am that saved
him from the mob. Several policemen got

dra agged out. The crowd followed and

are said to have punched the player who
was hunting night. After getting outside
the entrance the gates were locked which
prevented any further trouble.
Terror was written all over DeaPs
face when he was gotten outside by the
officers. on the side of his face was a
large red mark where Senior punched
him. Deal was paced in a hack, but later
was allowed 20 walk 10 his lotel. 1t was
the opinion of n.lny spectators that h,
