and suspended for two days by the stew
ards on Monday got into trouble yesterday
while on the grounds. He ran up against
one of the Pinkertons and after an ex-

midget proceeded to hand the policeman a
beautiful wallop in the face. 1t was truly
catchweight affair and Hildebrand was
quickly bundled off to the cooler" His
friends interceded for him. and after time
