of assault and battery upon two gen.
tIemen who were In a crowd sur
rounding the White Sox one day last
summer.
It seems on the FIRST trip to the
Hub last season certain gamblers
who Infest the ball field pursued the
SoK into their dugout. There the
athletes rallied. In the fracas two
wild-eyed fanatics were dealt blows.
Mullin were the authors of these
punches. Immediately they were
yanked to the hoosgow.
Then followed a lot OF legal gym
nastics. with the gent who had been
busted on the beeZer always suggest
Ing that he might settle" Three
times the boys appeared in court, and
finally the plaintiff and his lawyers
got into an argument and the case
was tossed out Now the men have
been sued for damages and must de-
fend themselves in a court which the
club lawyer writes is six miles from
downtown.
1t has been suggested that T. Fra
zee. the Boston magnate. might have
cleared up the whole situation by
prosecuting the gamblers and their
associates for trespass. they having
no right on the ball field. However.
he declined to do this. but seems to
wish to stand in with the most noto-
rious fans in the league. Last season
Ran JOhngOn hfrad p{pEarfopa nh,
arrested several dozen Of Mr.. Fra
zee's 5O-cent patrons and convicted
them OF gambling.
The gent who swarmed on the field
with the gamblers desires $1,000 as
recompense for actual damages suf-
fered and great mental anguish"
The Sox attorney will get $500 more
for pin money this summer. that Is
certain.
