Transcripts from the investigation of Earl Sutton Smith of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Smith was accused of assaulting David James Bancroft of the the Boston Braves. Smith's assault on Bancroft stemmed from a $100.00 fine Bancroft imposed on Smith for throwing furniture out of a window. This incident occurred while Smith was playing for Bancroft. Bancroft would not remit the fine after Smith left Bancroft's team. Barry McCormick and William J. Klem, the umpires, were interviewed about the incident. Bancroft, Judge Emil Fuchs, owner of the Braves, and John Heydler, President of the National League were a part of the proceedings as well.
