Otis Clymer from the Chronology
Jul 31, 1909 - For the 2nd time in 2 years-the first was on May 25 1908-Bill Burns has a no-hitter broken up with two outs in the 9th when Washington's Otis Clymer singles.

Oct 2, 1908 - Otis Clymer hits for the cycle to pace the Washington Nationals to a 12-2 pasting of New York.
Aug 4, 1908 - In a 7-5 loss to Cleveland the Nationals' Otis Clymer and Jim Delahanty draw indefinite suspensions for abusing umpire Silk O'Loughlin. Delahanty a Cleveland native is fined $50 by Ban Johnson and barred from the Cleveland ballpark for one year for his unbecoming conduct though he denies that the language he used could be heard all over the park. Washington manager Joe Cantillon then declares that he will not put the other contenders at an unfair advantage and he benches Delahanty for games in Detroit St. Louis and Chicago. Delahanty will miss an additional 13 games because of this but the ban will be lifted at the beginning of the 1909 season.
Jul 18, 1905 - The Pirates tally 8 hits including a HR over 7 innings against Mathewson to win 2-1. The game is briefly stopped by ump Johnstone after a Giants fan tosses a pop bottle at Pirate RF Otis Clymer while he's chasing down a single.
May 8, 1905 - In the 2-1 Pirate win over the Reds at Pittsburgh OF Otis Clymer gets into a fight with Reds 1B Cliff Blankenship. The bad feelings started several days ago when Blankenship bumped Honus Wagner on the basepaths and Clymer tried to retaliate by spiking Blankenship at 1B today. Blankenship twice punches Clymer as both are tossed from the game. The first sacker is pelted with bottles and a thrown knife by fans.
