Stop Worrying the Small Boy.

Fohcemen and small boys are rarely at
peace with each other. Sometimes the bow
Is at fault; occasionally it is the policeman
who is to be blamed; once In a while The
law Is the unreasoning cause of disagree
nient- In the news columns of The Star
will be noted a chapter on BOYS and hall
playing which brings to the front an IN
teresting condition If affairs A recent act
OF Congress provides that it shall be un-
lawful to play any ball game in any of the
streets, avenues or alleys of Washington.
proper provision in every respect and one
that should be rfgidly enforced Another
section of the same law declares:
That it shall not. be lawful for any per-
son or persons within the District of Co.
lUmDia to throw any stone or other missile
III any street. avenue. alley, road, or high
way, or open space, public square or
enclosure, or to throw any stone or other
missile from any place into any street,
avenue. or road. or highway, alley, open
space, public square. or enclosure, under a
penalty of not more than five dollars for
every such offense''
1t is held by the prosecuting authority in
Police Court that a baseball is a missile
and that it is Illegal for any person in the
District to throw baseball to another
person anywhere except within the walls
of a house. That such q construction
would stand in any superior court is not
to be suspected for a moment. That a
baseball may be used rs missile will
be admitted by anyone. but that it is a
missile unless it Is used as such must be
strenuously denied In the interest of the
public. Once establish the identity of
baseball as a missile under any and all
circumstances and there is an end of base
ball and of lawn tennis within the limits
OF the District of Columbia.
The law is an absurdity in its application
and IL is moreover unequally applied. 1t
operates on the small boy who uses vacant
lots and scraps of parking for ball-throw-
ing purposes and who does 1t in most in
stances without detriment to the general
welfare. If the authorities want to do that
which their construction of the statute au-
thorizes them to do why do they not make
a test case out at the National Baseball
Park. at the Y. NJ c. A. Park, at George
town College or wherever a game of real
baseball is in progress. When the small
boy Is really transgressor he ought to be
punished but 1t Is manifestly unfair to seek
10 make him misdemeanant-and per-
haPs. a criminal ultimateIy-while the
grown up alleged lawbreakers are undis-
turbed

JubilntiOn.

Say! Did you hear about it? Did you bend
your anxious ear
While the armament resounded with that
wild exultant cheer?
Did you see the grand stand rising in its
ecstasy complete?
Did you watch the bleachers splinter as the
rooters stamped their feet?
Though many deeds historic pass from
memory's control
We never, never Will forget the base that
Abbey stole.
Twas a trick as deep as England's ruse to
grab the lions share;
Twas as fine as financiering and a hun
dred times as fair;
There has not been a stratagem so danger
ouSly coy
Since thu day of that white wooden horse
and the red-haired girl of Troy.
Though future fortunes fail us, it will still
delight the soul
To tell our great grandchildren Of the hasa
that Abbey stole.
