The National Baseball Association Of
Great Britain has begun its career and
the game at BALKAN, England, received
the prestige conferred by the presence
of United States Ambassador Bayard.
When 1t comes to SanCtioning our n a
tional game there are no flaws in Mr..
Bayard's patriotism. There is still some
doubt that the effort to rOpularize base
ball in England is to be taken seriously.
The names of the contcsting teams at
BALKAN indicate Il certain f1ippancy
on the part Of the management that is
not at all promising. The "Typewrit-
crs" were pitted against the "Whisky-
ites," and the latter team won tho
game. There may be nothing in n
name, or there may be a great deal.
In a country that takes itself. its
amusements. and I'm fact the earth,
very seriously it Is a dangerous ex-
pertinent to introduce a novel athletic
contest under such names as those
chosen for the c%ontesting baseball mines
at BALKAN. Typewritcrs and whisky
are not enthusiastically American.
There are typewrlters in all countries.
and whisky Is made in Ireland and

An experience of the City Council
Of Columbus, Ohio. may have a tenden-
cy to place a check upon wide-open
aldermanic junkets In that section for
Il while. The Columbus solons recent
ly decided to get Out of town for a
jambOree. A special train was hired
and an attempt was made to paint Vir-
ginia a deep. dark red. To add to the
hllarity they carried along a small
swivel cannon to wake the echoes and
farmers along the route. The special
train reached the little town of Corn
ing. In the meantime the commiSsary
supplies in the baggage cars had been
drawn on so literally that the Column
bus wise men could not tell whether
they were riding or flying. AS the train
pulled into Corning one of the alder
men hauled out the cannon and fred
it from a car platform full into the
crowd of gaping spectators. several
men were blown off their feet and filled
with burnt powder and i~1''ignation.
one Virginia i'opulis1's beard was
burned off and he himself was knocked
insensible. The crowd instantly made
Il charge and captured the canton
Then an attempt was made to mob the
train. This waS frustrated by the on.
Gincer. who seems to have been about
the only sober mar IN board. He has
tily pulled out, and. taking chances of
Il collision. ran to the neXt station and
saved his passengers from mob vio-
lnce. One experience of this sort ought
to be enough for a lifetime. The alder
manic junket. if possible. ought to stop
this side of manslaughtcr and riot.
