CALL 4 HALT.

Wednesday Richmond patrons OF base
ball witnessed the repetition of scene
that has been altogether too common on
our baseball grounds. We allude to the
exhibition of what is known in baseball
parlance as Kicking" with its accom-
paniments OF profane language, abuse of
the umpire. and other reprehensible con-
duct. Yesterday afternoon there was
more of the same sort of misbehavior.
a halt, and very peremptory one, should
be called 10 such proceedings, and both
base-ball-team managers and individual
players should be given TO understand
that they will not be tolerated. Baseball
stands on the same footing as any other
amusement. The public go to ball game
TO be amused and they pay stipulated
price for the amusement contracted to
be furnished. The managers of teams and
the players are regularly In the amuse-
ment business. and receive the public's
money for presenting their exhibitions.
The patrons of the game have right to
demand what they contract for, free
from rowdyism and indecency, and the
managers and players are under every
obligation TO meet this demand. There
was no more excuse for the disgraceful
conduct some of the members Of the
visiting clubs INDUCED in Wednesday and
yesterday than there would be for such
conduct on the part of members OF an
opera or dramatic company during per-
Torrance on the stage.
There ought to be some power in the
league or in the separate teams TO pre-
vent a recurrence of the outrage OF the
last two afternoons. If not, then the people
owe il to themselves TO withdraw their
patronage from the game. If they do
this. the managers will, we warrant,
pretty soon find way to cure the evil.

During the present Graeco-Turkish
troubles, a good deal has been said about
the famous Grecian secret society-the
Ethnike Hetairia. The Tablet explains
that this society is of comparatively re-
cent origin. and is constituted on the
model Of the Philike Hetairia, which pre-
pared the rising of 1921 and claims a
large share in the glories of the war OF
Independence The Ethnike Hetaria, or
National Society. is patriotic body APP
pealing to the whole Hellenic body. From
time to time it has issued proclamations
and directions, which have been printed
in the Greek newspapers. These have
been addressed TO the government, and
even to the King but they bore no sig
nature except "Ethnike Hetairia." The
proclamations have also had the seal OF
the society, which is a cross, with the
touto nika," meaning by this conquer"
When, adds the Tablet, the society be-
gan TO be talked about, there were also
rumors to the effect that it was collect
ing large sums Of money. 1t is positive
fact that ii has secured monthly
contributions from an enormous number
of people. not only in Greece, but where
ever Greeks are TO be found These
subscriptions were paid with alacrity
and regularity; so much so that even
Greek servant girls in Constantinople
and Alexandria gave their earnings as
subscriptions. OF course, rich folks con-
tributed in degree corresponding to
their ability. About two months ago
public subcommittee were formed by
well-known people in Greece. These
were called branches, and they received
subscriptions. but they had, or professed
TO have. no knowledge Of the men d.
recting the Ethnike Hetairia. 1t is de-
clared to be quite certain that a large
number of the officers of the army have
taken the oath Of allegiance to the
