Yesterday assaulted Umpire George

The trouble grew out of the official $

player attacking him after being
ordered out of the game. Shawkey's
head was lacerated by blows from the
mask Hildebrand used in defending
himself. 1t is difficult to conceive OF
anything happening on ball field

Shawkey's. Disciplinary measures of
