A Little Fist Fight.
According to the story Of those hero
vorsbippers who hang about the dress
- rooms after the games, Manager
Iii NeGraw and Catcher Bill Rari-
~, Of the Giants. became involved
,.hst fight with Umpire Lord Byron
,,5 peace-making ally Immediately
,nra general combat on the field.
NcGraw, a. the beginning Of the
,.vsptb inning, had been ordered off
,ss seld by Umpire Quigley. II Is said
= laid for that arbiter, but, missing
,is big game. took a crack az the best
he gods provided.
The ground keeper Of the Cincinnati
s.Vis alleged 20 have run up 10 sepa-
~, the coubatants. Whereupon, &C
,,-i;,g 10 an eyewitness. Boshter Bill
Psn3sn fell upon the agricultural man
ieura from the rear.
While nobody was seriously wounded,
Is believed that the Hop. John h.
-.5er. the strict disciplnarian who
controls the destinies Of the National
League. is likely 20 give Byron and his
sIy the verdict on points. This would
mean, doubtless, suspension OF NC
Crsw and Rariden for several days, II
rot indefinitely
The Giants lust now can Ill afford to
lose either. Rariden is the only veteran
backstop left with the team, now that
Lew Mccarthy is laid up with broken
leg. barring George Gibson, OF course.
Gibson has not worked behind the bat
.n almost a year
Mitchell al His Best
Aside from whatever umpiratical sins
that may have been committed (and
these evils are always debatable), New
York he'd 10 great grievance against
Is sad fate Mitchell clearly outpitched
fred Anderson. and Anderson delivered
one OF his best games. In the pinches,
sspecially, Mitchell was at his very
best
The Giants seemed 20 have left their
vallop 40 the hotel. Defensively. they
vere not quite so reliable as the Reds
0Hensively. they were away off color
Not only did they fail TO hit in the
-.nches. but they tossed of severa
opportunities by faulty base running
Mitchell set down the big town lads
Eiih four scattered hits.
The Giants broke away TO the lead II
he second inning. Zimmerman opened
With a single, but Fletcher forced him
Robertson singled 70 left. sending
Fletcher 20 third. Holke's fly to Thorpe
brought To- the run.

n the firth inning He opened TINS
period with a fancy single. Holke flied
70 Thorpe. Shean made neat catch
o Rariien's Texas Lacquer, which Rob
srison decided would fall safely. The
result was the easiest sort Of a double
Killing.
Fred Anderson walked. starting the
sixth. but BVrns hit into a double play

NcCraw claimed Groh left third be-

tal.ed out. His argument with Quig!ey
became 50 heated that Mac was finally

he was sent from the field. With him
