BOTH SIDES LOSE.
Cost Litigants So Each to File Suits

1t cost ]. d. Alexander 81 to file a
complaint against memb ers of the

amount for bringing an assault case
against Alexander and then dropping
it. Judge Hugh Fisher looked the
thought each side ought to pay for
the trouble it had started. Prelimi-
nary to this disposition of the cases
the court room had been thrown into
a furry of excitement when one of the
witnesses tainted. She had in her
possession letter from a physician
saying the had angina pectoris and

of First and Tyler streets and all seem
to have been participants in as lively

Mrs. Barnett was alleged to have made

O'BR|EN GETS BLAME.
st. Joseph Sport Writer Gives Account
of Ball Scrap Sunday.

Writing in the st. Joseph Gazette
of the fight staged at the Drummer
park Sunday afternoon, in which UNI
pire O'Brien licked Manager Jackson
and several players of the Topeka
team, Ham Hamilton severely criti-
cises the umpire and admits that his
decision giving ST. Joe the game was
a raw one.
Hamiltons account of the affair,
written from 9 St. Joe standpoint for
a ST. Joe paper is as follows:
BY HAM HAMILTON.
When Jimmy Jackson, manager of
the Topeka club, took exception-a
pretty warm eXception-to a decision
in the eleventh inning of the second
game of yesterdays doubleheader be-
tween st. Joseph and Topeka, he al
most started a riot The decision,
which was at the plate, gave the ball
game to st. Joseph by a score of to
and Jimmy naturally kicked a little
bit, for the play was close, SO close
in fact that Jack Bliss, who slid home,
should have been out. Jackson rushed
to the plate and commenced laying
down the law to Umpire OBrien and
called the latter several pet names,
which O'Brien returned with interest
1t all happened when O'Brien sug-
gested that if Jackson didn't shut up
he would get a punch in the nose, to
which Jackson made rather hasty
reply and almost got the punch in the
nose. Having been struck at, Jack
son squared off and player and UNI
pire started in for a battle. 1t didn't
last long, however, for Jackson was
hurled from the umpire and Animal
Dashner started after the latter, only
to get kicked on the shins and
cracked on the jaw. Dashner was
felled and his face cut.
An Arrest Made
Infielder Harry Bostick, at this
stage of the game, edged toward the
scrappers, but before he could reach
the scene of action he was nailed by
Roundsman Thomas Burke and a
deputy sheriff. He was hustled out
of the grounds to a police call box
and sent to Central police station,
minus his street clothes. He was re-
leased On bond and promised to APP
pear this morning to answer a charge
The only man who had a real kick
coming-Bill Rapps-was about the
only cool headed member of the To-
peka club. He refrained from mix
ing into such a disgraceful thing as a
battle between umpire and ball
player. The fact many women were
in yesterdays crowd had no effect on
the actions of either Jackson or
O'Brien and each deserves censure for
fighting. DaShners rush at the UNI
pire was uncaIfed for
