After Tuesday's game at LaGrave Field, umpire Buster Capps was escorted by a body guard of bat-carrying ball players. The game was held up for 25 minutes by a beer-bottle barrage and a near riot. The players with Capps are Roman Brunswick, number 4 of the Houston Buffaloes, and Cats' Al Zachary, right, and George Pfister. Brunswick is a 21-year-old pitcher with the Buffaloes. Zachary is a third basemen and pitcher for the Cats. Pfister, catcher, is still dressed in his gear. There is a boy at the far left watching as the umpire makes his way to the dressing room.
