It is reported that, at the next meeting of the League, the Worcester management will report an “outbreak” in which Goldsmith and Williamson of the Chicagos participated last Wednesday night. It appears that on the night in question the two players mentioned went to a house of ill-fame in the outskirts of Worcester, where Goldsmith got drunk and knocked down two or three fellows, not of his party, who came to the house in a hack. Williamson was not drunk, but did not turn up for duty until the next afternoon. Several of the Chicagoes had a similar “racket” last year, but it was hushed up. In the affair of last Wednesday night Hayes of the Worcester team was also mixed up, though he did not drink.
