| Text | [Boston vs. Cleveland 10/2/1889] The most notable occurrence in connection with the last game between the Bostons and Clevelands to-day was the ejection of Capt. Kelly, who was not in the game, from the grounds in compliance with the order of Umpire McQuaid, whom he had insulted. The disturbance occurred in the seventh inning when the Spiders had scored five runs. Bennett had retired on a chance to the outfield and Clarkson got his base on balls. Richardson hit for two bases and tried to score when Nash hit to right. He was declared out and Kelly came up from the visiting players’ bench wildly gesticulating and declaring that the decision was wrong. “You came West to beat Boston out of the championship so that you could umpire in the world’s series for New York,” he said, and the umpire ordered him removed from the grounds. Kelly resisted the officer and two more policemen came to the latter’s assistance. No player was ever before ejected from the Payne Avenue Grounds. The Boston captain was exasperated at the decision of McQuaid and was also slightly under the influence of liquor, the result of the preceding night. |
