Brawl in 3rd inning after McMullen "accidentally stepped on
[pitcher Huck] Betts' right foot."
Betts was covering first on a grounder. After being spiked, he threw the ball at
McMullen. Bohne, coaching at first,
punched Betts. First-baseman Oscar
Roettger went after Bohne as both dugouts emptied. According to the Minneapolis
Tribune Betts, Bohne, Bagwell, and Roettger were
ejected, but Roettger later said he was not ejected but left the game because
his eyes were too swollen to see. The Tribune reported that a dozen
policemen were needed to stop the fight.
In the 4th, St. Paul's Bruno Haas jumped toward Cotter and tried to
spike him, but Cotter sidestepped the attempt, and there was no incident. |
