He was new arrival at the seashorc,
and everything he saw seemed to inter

during the bathing hour and after a
brief survey of it became distracted and
thoughtful. He walked the entire
length of it and then made circuit up
by the lighthouses, studying every de.
tail of the surroundings.

Tebeau on Baseball Nuisances

Oliver Tebeau of the Clevelands re-
Gently expressed himself as follows:
'Tho bad language used by players
on tho field is not half so bad as that
which we hear from some occupants of
the bleacheries and the grand stand. 1t
is an evil which prevails in every city
But the greatest evil of all is the at
tempt Oh the part of spectators to rattle
visiting teams. I'll admit that it has
been done i'll Cleveland as we'll as in
other cities. 1t is n nuisance and does
no good. Why, it is really laughablo to
watch Il crowd from day to day rising
up when the homo team is at bat and
yelling instructions to the players
Just because n pitcher gives base OIL
balls the cranks really believe that they
have succeeded i'll rafting him, and tho
cry goes up, Hos up in the airr If
these howlers knew how they waste
their strength and breath yelling in
such seDseless manner, they'd be
ashamed of themselves.
I'm order to wipe out these blotches
on the good name of baseball it is nee
essary for the magnates to listen to the
newspapers which are against kicking
and rowdyism. If tho newspapers can
put stop to rowdyism among specta-
tors, so that unpires and visiting play
ers will receive IL fair show in all the
cities. believe the existing troubles
will bo wiped out. New York Sun.
