would sweep a pair from the Braves, 4-2 and 5-0.
In the first game, Cincinnati's Hal Chase and
Lee Magee attempted to throw the game, muffing a

paths. Much to the pair's chagrin, Roush's two
run shot in the 13th inning won the game for the
Reds. Magee would admit the event two years
later. |

1926 - At Redland Field the
Reds defeat the Braves, 8-4. During the
game a huge fight breaks out. The brawl was
caused when Boston's third base coach Art Devlin
hurled insults to Reds' third baseman Babe
Pinelli. During the game Pinelli brushed up
against Devlin when he was heading to the third
base coaching box. Devlin punched Pinelli with
Pinelli, who was a former boxer, returning the
favor by pummeling him and causing both benches
to clear. After order was restored, Braves
outfielder Jimmy Welsh smashed into Cincinnati's
catcher Val Picinich on a close play at home
plate. Picinich decked Welsh in the face and
benches cleared again. With fists flying by both
teams, the Cincinnati police had to come in and
break up the mayhem. Boston's Frank Wilson
decked one of the police officers while he was
trying to arrest him. |
