The times dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1903-1914, 1910-04-02


Sometimes mix-up cannot be pre-
vented on tho baseball field. and this
was the condition yesterday, when
pitcher Brooks, of the Colts, and
Catcher Crisp, of the Newark team,
passed blows in the seventh inning OF
Yesterdays game. There was mis-
understanding when Brooks ran into
Crisp at the home plate. and the visit
ing player resented it BY striking
Brooks in the face. Brooks did not
return the blow, and his conduct per-
heps prevented a disagreeable scene
that might have given the game

were put under arrest, but We're bailed
on the field, and the incident will prob
ably be closed without either man be-
ing punished.
McGinnity's men. following the dis
order, acted gentlemanly about the
affair, and Ave minutes later the two
teams were atSwork, each battling TO
get the best of O contest in which
heavy hitting was feature.
Richmond never had hold of the big
end of the score, and this is due to
Iron Man McGinnity. who went into
the pitchers box with the bases full in
the fourth inning. and succeeded In re-
firing Lawlor's men without a single
rui, being scored. McGinnity did good
work as twirler, and HIS rapid-t1re
method of getting balls to the plate
baftied batters and kept them from
getting more than one safety out of
the diamond.
