DIAMOND DUST.
Tony Mullane is the same Tony as of
yore. His moustache is just as care
fully tended and he is just as clipper.

That ever came to the bat. 1t was in
the days of the old American associa-
ton, and big Jim Davis was playing
been many better ball players than
jim, but few stronger armed men ever
played base ball. He could throw
ball from third to first quicker than
anybody, but the trouble was it gen
orally didn't stop going until it got to
the bleachers or over the fence, per-
maps. Jim struck out most of the time,
put when one of his wild swings did
hit ball something happened. Null
lane was pitching for Cincinnati one
cloudy day, and it was quite dark in
the old hollow. Davis went to the
bat and famed wildly at a couple of

The Milwaukee Sentinel talks the
string of billingsgate given below about
Jack Pickett. If the big-hearted
player player used language half as bad as
mat IN this article, he ought to have
belief, however, that player who only
conducts himself as a gentleman when
at home should SO far overstep himself
IN a center of culture like Milwaukee
ing put out of a game. The drivel
below is printed because of its extraya-
gance, not because the G o b belives
it is based on facts:
The putting of Pickett and Johnston
out of the game in the tenth inning
was very proper proceeding. Espe-
clally Is this true with reference to
Pickett He is the "dirtiest" ball play
er in the profession today, and he is a
disgrace to the profession. He will
stoop to anything in a game and moth
ing pleases him more than to hurt
other members of the profession. He
has been known to spike men when
there was no occasion for getting near
with the ball at second without leav-
ing a mark. Time and again he has
used foul language on the field here.
and for the language he used yesterday
the game. He has temper that con-
tinually asserts itself, and when his
face is contorted by it, he is something
hideous and fiendish to behold. ST.
such players, but Milwaukee patrons
are used to seeing men play ball. If
they want to see big, ugly animals they
go to circus. Think of a human be-
ing rushing up to an umpire in the
| presence of men and women. grabbing
him by the throat and trying to shove
him about and at the same time calling
MIN all the foul names that were ever
heard Of: There is no penalty in base
ball half strong enough to fit the case
of Pickett. And young Johnston de-
serves punishment but little less Sc
we're. When it comes to the stage,
mat man cannot umpire a game of
pail without being set upon by hood
lumS ana thugs it is time that some
thing was done. Pickett should re-
member that he is now in a civilized
community, and that he is neither in
| an African jungle nor a bar room fight
when he is on the ball field here. The
tactlcS OF the Dalton gang may be all
| right on the ball field at ST. Paul, but
