During the 2nd Sunday game played in Cincinnati after
owner Louis Hauck dropped his objections, a riot breaks
out. Umpire George Bradley is hit by a beer
mug hurled from the rowdy Cincinnati crowd
and retreats to the directors' room in the 6th inning.
He returns to complete the game. The Reds lose to
the Grays 11-7. The incident strengthens the
position of many religious and political leaders that
Sunday baseball attracts mostly "hoodlums" and "foreigners"
and should therefore be banned. While this advice
is followed in most ML cities, Sunday baseball in
the Queen City continues and proves to be extremely
popular with all "classes" of people.
