ON THE BATTLEFIELD.
Why go down the river to see a
prize fight when Charlie Snyder is in
town.
Snyder is said to have a ring record
and to be regular tough guy. The
story is being passed around that a
few days after he joined the team he
knocked out two of his messmates
with well directed blows from his itch
ing fists. Golvin and Turner were
the fall guys, so it is alleged.
Yesterday we all turned thumbs
down on Knapp for that questionable
decision entitled Touching Second or
Exit Clemens" but today we are for
! his knobs. When that rough stuff is
pulled on the ball field it is bound to
hurt the game. The place for pugilists
is in the prize ring.
"Tubby" Hackett, he of the rotund
pod and the pachyderm build, held
down the first sack after a fashion
and then handed in his resignation af
ter two innings had elapsed. Tubby

and everything that came anywhere
near him went for a hit. When he

Kahl is some slabbist. He furnished

Hackett was IS feet more remote from
the play than was Knapp.
Carrigan won a big hand in tn
