About the toughest and roughest gang that ever struck this city is the nine of the St. Louis Club. Vile of speech, insolent in bearing, impatient of restraint, they set at defiance all rules, grossly insulted the umpire and excited the wrath of the spectators. For the scenes at the Athletic ground they are alone responsible, as they by their actions invited the reception they met with. The captain is an illiterate individual named Comisky, whose sole claim to distinction rests upon his glib use of profane language.
