Text	[Mutuals vs. Irvingtons in Irvington, 6/28/1867] Just about this time, a pickpocket’s fight occurred, and the result was an intrusion of the crowd on the field, time being called for about ten minutes. The disturbance was caused by four Newark rowdies and a party of Newark roughs of the lowest order, who had imbibed from the liquor-stands on the grounds, this crowd being incited to a row by a party of pickpockets who wanted to get hold of several gold watches and flush pocket books they had seen in the crowd. For a time the scene was very turbulent, about a dozen fellows being engaged in it, nearly being of the bull-necked, low-brow’d, crop-haired brutes, who degrade humanity so much in our cities. New York Sunday Mercury June 30, 1867 [In the following issue, the secretary of the Irvingtongs denies that any liquor was sold on the grounds.]
