Text	A Wilmington paper says:--There have been universal complaints ever since the season opened of the cowardly habit of Shappert, the Harrisburg pitcher, in maliciously crippling men at the bat. When the Quickstep left for Harrisburg several of the members their defeat was certain if Shappert pitched, inasmuch as nearly all players are afraid to stand in front of the fellow's balls. The expectation has been fulfilled. The whole course of the Harrisburg nine has been marked with an apparent determination to win by foul means if necessary every game played in their city. The crowd at Pennsylvania's capital applaud their brutal habits and egg them on to acts of violence. The manager of the Columbus Club, defeated by the Harrisburg team last week, attributed the defeat to Shappert's action, the Ohio men being afraid to stand up to the plate.
