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.
