Text	Henry Luff, of the Keystone Club, while the club was in Cincinnati a week ago, fell from grace. He had carried himself straight ever since the season opened, but the temptations of the “Paris of America” were too much for him. While intoxicated he boarded a horse car, raised a rumpus, drew a knife and landed in the lock-up. On Saturday his case was called in the Police Court. He was charged with disorderly conduct, having boarded a street car while in a drunken state on the day previous. When the conductor asked for the fare Luff showed him a knife instead of the nickel, and became disorderly. When the case was first called Luff did not appear, and his bond was declared forfeited. He subsequently shoed up. Judge Fitzgerald told him that, had he ever been arrested before, he would send him to the workhouse. As it was, he fined the ballplayer $25 and sentenced him to thirty days in the works, but suspended the days.
