In yesterday's Enquirer appeared an account of a fracas which took place in Harff & Cramer's restaurant, in which young Jake Aug was roughly handled by a crowd of ball-players, members of the Allegheny Club, excepting Harry McCormick, of the Cincinnatis. It has since been ascertained that the slugging and brutal kicking was done by Hayes, Creamer and Swartwood, of the Alleghensy, and that Mansell and McCormick, while present, did not participate in the disgraceful affair except in their efforts to pull the ruffians off of their prostrate victim. This is all good enough, but the whole party is likely to hear from their individual mangers in reference to an explanation of their presence in a drinking place a t three o'clock in the morning. A meeting of the Directory of the Cincinnati Club will be held to day to consider McCormick's case, and, as “Mack” has had numerous mishaps to contend with lately, he should be treated leniently.
