RowDYIsM AT BALL GAMES

The great drawback to the enjoy ment of baseball games has been the rowdyism of some players, including especially the vulgar and sometimes obscene expressions used by them on the field. The meeting of the National league at St. Louis has now taken &C., tion that will be approved by every decent lover of the game, and which has long been demanded publicly and privately In brief, it makes rules which look to suspension or expulsion as the penalty of such violations of proprety as have become too common A small tribunal is to listen to sworn evidence, and fix the penalty at it's own discretion. Its judgments are final ex- cept that an appeal may be taken to the board of directors of the league Any person having personal knowl- edege of the facts may make make the complaint. Spectators have the same right of action as any other, and this is one of the important features of the rules passed unanimously at St. Louis on Tuesday.
 At the meeting at which the report was presented and adopted, reporters were admitted. The report itself cited evidence from baseball magnates, um- pires, members of the press and others interested in the national game, and there was substantial agreement among them all as to the imperative need of reform. It was spoken of as a well recognized fact, and the only real question was as to a practical method of making cure. The title of the re- port finally submitted and adopted also accepts the existence of gross abuses as so well known that it must be treated as a matter of course. It reads:
 "A measure for the suppression of obscene, indecent and vulgar language upon the ball field by players engaged in playing game of ball during the championship season, while under con- tract with a club, member of the Na- tional league and American associa- tion of professional ball clubs, to the end that the game may retain it's high position and be respectable and worthy of the confidence and support of the re- fined and cultured classes of American citizenship"
 The admitted evil which is now to be attacked has grown up with the tolera- ton and even the assistance of specta- tors. Excited sympathizers have had too much to say and some of them have said it with little regard to pro- priety or even decency. Foul-mouthed vulgarity has been heard on the benches and in the field. The league can control the players, but the spec tators themselves must do a large part of the work of suppressing offensive conduct among themselves. They can accomplish more than the managers in this matter, and they ought to do it. Hartford Times.

A PLACE TO SAVE MONEY.
Has Been Found by Bargain Hunters
 at F. M Brown & Co.,

Has Been Found by Bargain Hunters
 at F. M. Brown & Co.
 At the consolidation sale being held at F. M. Brown & Co.'S any number of money and the opportunities are being taken advantage of by thousands of New Haven women who know how to save. The stores of the company are daily crowded by these money savers who include among their number, the rich, the poor and those in moderate circumstances, all realizing that pen ny saved is a penny earned and that if the pennies are taken care of the dollars will take care of themselves. These unequalled bargains which are being offered and which are attracting the bargain hunters of the city are made possible by the fact that the con- solidation of the two big stores into one enlarged store necessitates the sale of large quantities of goods at low prices rather than to incur the expense of moving them. The women of New Haven realize this and know that when F. M. Brown & Go. announce a sale it is sure to be bona fide one with great values for small prices. Every day among the crowds who visit the stores hundreds of ladies can be heard commenting the thoughtfulness of the firm in consolidating the two stores and thus saving their patrons the in- convenience of journeying back and forth from one store to another in all kinds of weather.
