Manager Joe Cantillon and catcher Hub Dawson went into the
stands after a fan, William Crawdad, referred to after by the Minneapolis Tribune as "the
Negro." After the police pulled
Dawson off Crawdad, Cantillon attacked Crawdad with a bat. Cantillon and Dawson were arrested (with
Dawson given time to change into street clothes). The St. Paul
Pioneer Press said Dawson "gave police the
skip" and escaped by trolley to Minneapolis. Crawdad left the stands and returned, with
a bandaged head, to cheers from the St. Paul fans, some of whom reportedly
bought Crawdad a box seat for each game against the Millers, "knowing
that his remarks in a high tenor voice are disagreeable to the southerners on
the Minneapolis team," according to the Tribune. |

Millers fans voted at the June 13 game on the starting times of
games. The fans voted overwhelmingly
to start the games at 3:00 rather than 3:30 so they, according to the
newspaper, would have "a better chance to see all of the game and still
be home in time for dinner." |

July 1, 1911 Minneapolis Tribune reports on "dissension" on Millers, who say Joe
Cantillon's acts "lack diplomacy."
The Tribune says
during spring training in Hickman, Kentucky, the players were put up at a
hotel "several degrees removed from first class hostelry," except
for Pongo Joe (Cantillon), who stayed at his $20,000 house in Hickman, along
with Otis Clymer, Cantillon's roommate on road trips. "Those not so favored" stayed at
the hotel. |

After a controversial 7th-inning call by umpire Gerald Hayes, a
riotous scene followed in which Hayes and umpire Jerry Eddinger were
threatened by fans. Police reserves
were called, and plainclothesmen escorted Hayes to a street car after the
game. Hayes was assaulted on the
street car by a man named George Fisher, who was arrested and locked up but
released when Hayes refused to sign an affidavit against him. Hayes wasn't badly hurt. |

1911. Umpires Hayes and Eddinger again
need a police escort after the game. |
