During the excitement that followed the close of Saturday's game Anson was hit by a flying cushion. Turning in anger upon a couple of gentlemen who were near by, he made a loaferish exhibition of himself by proposing a fight, thinking one of them had shied the cushion at him. He went so far even as to lift his hand to one of them, much inferior to him in stature, and would have struck him but a bystander warded off the blow. The gentleman he attached is a well-known physician of the eastern part of the city, who is not desirous of being brought into publicity in such a matter, or he would swear out a warrant for assault and battery against the Chicago brute. Anson on the field may be a good ball-player, but his conduct Saturday indicate that in private life he is a blustering bully., quoting the Cleveland Herald
