Baseball Game Between Twins and Dobson Ended by Fistfight, July 8, 1925

Ball Game Finished with a Fight—One Cut and One Knocked Down

Down at the fair grounds last Saturday a fast game of ball was played between the Twins and Dobson. At the end of the seventh inning the score stood 5 and 5. At this point in the game a fight between young Norman, a player of Dobson, and Alvin Minton, a Wilkes man, occurred over a decision, in which Norman sustained a cut on the throat by Minton with a knife, it is said. Norman knocked Minton down with his fast after being cut. The fight ended the game.
