Date	Tuesday, May 7, 1889
Text	A game of ball was played at Winfield, L.I., on Sunday between the Athletics of Long Island City and the Excelsiors of Winfield. The Athletics won. The defeated club took exception to the rulings of the umpire, Robert Doyle, and as he was about leaving the grounds one of the Excelsior Club players struck him over the head with a base ball bat, knocking him down. Before his friends could interfere the rest of the defeated club joined in beating him. He attempted to defend himself and during the fight was stabbed below the left eye and through the right hand. The Athletics finally succeeded in driving his assailants away. Doyle was picked up and hurried off. The refractory members of the Excelsior Club waited for him at the depot thinking he would take the train from there to Long Island City. His friends took him home in another direction. He is seriously hurt.
