Text | On June 4 pitcher Douglass Crothers, of the Syracuse Club, was justly suspended for the season for acts of insubordination and for striking the club manager. It appears that he foolishly refused to have his picture taken in the same group with Higgins, the colored pitcher, and afterwards he had an altercation with Manager Simmons and struck him in the breast, whereupon he was suspended immediately. The Sporting Life June 15, 1887. [The suspension was reduced to one month.] |
