INTEGRITY OF HasEBALL.
COmpensates for the PpgRacity Mani
tested on tie ball Field.

This year will break the record for dis
order on the baseball fieIds' for fighting
and sorapping between the players of OPP
posing clubs. This state or affairs is not
coniined to the ma Jor leaEue, where every
conflict, whether small or important, IS
duly chronicled, but the spirit of pugnacity
has gone out among the junior clubs
President Crane. OF the Atlantic League,
has fra nkly admitted that an umpire who
undertakes to do his duty in any game
between the Paterson and Newark clubs
OF New Jersey takes his life in his hands
and courts death or disability.
There is one shining proof standing high
above the professional disorder in baseball
the honesty of the game Is unassailG.oie
Indeed, 1t is the overstrained intensity
which puts the stamp of honesty upon
every game played. In the old days Of
sell-outs and rottenness, prior to the or
ganization OF the National League, such 1,
thing as fight between opposing pla yers
was never heard Of They We're more
likely after game to go away together
and divide their spoils in secret friendship.
1t is the present plane of unQuestioned
honesty which has made baseball SO strong
and popular with the American people
only once in long time is there even a
charge of dishonesty made against pro-
fess!onal baseball, ard then it is usually
SO frailly founded that little attention is
gwen to the accusation. So says Will
Locke, of the Pittsburg Press.

had just returned to his place OF business
after attending To some Bryan meeting

The idea is this: To give the people Of

engaged against Some o:her cub than
Washington. Schedule few games here
for Cleveland against Baltimore. Boston
against Philadelphia; New York against
Cincinnati-let the public see these clubs

turn out in good numbers to see such ha.-
ties. A scrap between Cleveland and
Pittsbuurg, on our diamond, would be u
sight well worth seeing and remembering"
Mr.. ScanIon shook his head disscntingly
and said: That idea has been broached lie

failure. Take away the local interest in

were such an idea adopted, how, in adj

judge what clubs would prove any sort

The bicycle has altered many things in
lie. Take women for example. Formerly
they were divided into those who tried to
play the piano and those who didn't. Next
it was those who wanted to vote and those
who objected to doing so. Now the two
sections are those who ride the bicycle. and
chose who don't, which is again subdividcd
into those who wear boomers and those
who will not wear them.
