SPORTSMEN INJURED.
AFFRAY WITH LARRIKINS. Harry Butler was convicted and fined in Adelaide recently on a charge of having used indecent langauge. The charge arose out of an affray with larrikins at Gleuelg, where three well-known sportsmen, Messrs. Y. Richardson, captain of the South Australian cricket team, W. H. Jeanes, secretary of the South Australian Cricket Association, and Wilkinson, the S.A.J.C. handicapper, received painful injuries. Mr. Jeanes had remonstrated with some young men who, stimulated by the contents of a keg of beer, were using bad language in the hearing of women. He was felled, and Messrs. Richardson and Wilkinson went to help him. The arrntel of police ended the struggle, by which time Mr, Richardson's chin was cut, Mr. Wilkinson was bruised and Mr. Jeanes had a swollen hand, bruised face and the cartilage of one ear cut. The attackers ran away, but Butler was subsequently caught. . '
