Chief Deitsch Calls the Game At
Pendleton. |
|
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette |
|
05-25-1891 |
|
|
Well,
there was no game at the East End Park,
yesterday afternoon. Cincinnati's worthy Chief
of Police, Colonel Deitsch was there, supported
by seventy-five of his big, blue-uniformed
coppers, and when he commanded that the law
should be obeyed the Quaker City lads and
Captain Kelly's ball-tossers quietly submitted
and left for the Fulton District Police Station.
It seems a pity that the players were not
permitted to play the game, since they had
traveled so many hundred miles for the sport.
Chief
Deitsch
was determined that there should not be a game,
and he frequently stated during the past few
days that he proposed to break it up, as he had
received orders from the Mayor to arrest the
players when they took the field. The officials
of the local club thought that Mayor Mosby was
discriminating against base ball and they worked
industriously with His Honor up to within a few
hours of the time for starting the game, hoping
that he could be induced to rescind or modify
his orders to the Chief of the Department. This
he declined to do, and the game was "called" by
Umpire
Deitsch
after the first inning, much to the
disappointment of the three thousand spectators
who had assembled at the Pendleton Grounds.
When President
Renau
found that the Mayor could not be driven from
the stand he had taken, he decided to play an
inning or two in order that a test case might be
brought up in the Police Court. Chief
Deitsch
had on his full regimental uniform, and his
dandy coppers never appeared on dress parade to
better advantage than they did yesterday
afternoon as they marched in solid battalions,
and counter-marched upon the field in the
presence of the assembled multitude.
From the extensive
preparations made by the Chief, one would
readily believe that he was marching out to put
down some gigantic mob, for all that was lacking
to make his equipment complete were a few
Gatling guns. a squad of police, mounted and on
foot, assailed the park, while a half-dozen,
patrol wagons and a reserve of seventy-five men
were held in readiness at the Fulton Station to
move to scene of action on a minute's notice.
Colonel
Deitsch
never does anything by halves. He was going to
capture the eighteen ball players if it required
the entire police force to do it, his policy
being to prevent any possible disposition to
disorder by an overpowering show of force.
The police received a much
different reception than they had anticipated
from the crowd, for when the vanguard moved
through the gates at the park they were
applauded instead of hissed and hooted at. The
police were drawn up in line on the south of the
pavilion and then followed a long and
embarrassing wait. The Cincinnati players were
slow in dressing, for a number of them did not
relish the ideas of being placed under arrest.
They finally took their place on the field
attired in their neat traveling uniforms of blue
and red, and their appearance was the signal for
an outburst of applause. Just as the game was
started the two Coney Island steamers landed
with their hundreds of passengers and the crowd
without the gates was swelled to thousands.
The Athletics went to the
bat and the
Cincinnatis to the field. The visitors went out
in quick order, and then the Reds went in for a
round with the ball. Chief
Dietsch
became impatient and he suddenly threw up his
hand, and the game was called. There wasn't a
murmur from the crowd. At the gates they were
refunded their money and quietly dispersed. The
Athletics proceeded at once to the Fulton Station
in their bus and after the Cincinnati players
had donned their citizen's attire, they also
proceeded to the station-house and submitted to
arrest.
The bonds were promptly
signed by Otto Betz, one of the Directors of the
Cincinnati Club, and after the players were
notified to appear in the Police Court at 9
o'clock this morning they were allowed to go. |
