[Troy vs. Detroit 5/18/1881] Ferguson made four errors at second, and let his temper get the best of him in the second inning, and attempted to slap Houck’s face, for preventing him making a double play. The audience was so indignant that they could not restrain themselves from hissing and shouting to put him out, when Ferguson, to make matters worse, walked up to the grand stand and defied anyone there to come on the field and attempt it–a breach of League rules which will not be winked at by the Detroit directors.
