he were a dumb animal? Is this the
magnates' idea Of justice?
The reserve rule is all right in keep
ing players from jumping from one
club TO another whenever they feel like

reserve rule privilege by forcing him to
go wherever IL decides or get out of the
business. When a rule is misused i'm
such a manner. IL would be better to
wipe it off the statute books altogether.
The players are human, and, as mat

some respect.
Baseball depends entirely upon the

the objective point being the head or
king pin.
The game became exceedingly popular
among the common people, but at an
early date there arose a prejudice
against 1t among the middle and upper
classes, and Germany, France and Eng
faud passed acts forbidding the playing
of the game. In England II was con-
sidered ''dishonorable." and even after
IL made it's debut i'm America there was
a strong prejudice against II.
During the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries the game was played on small
green plots or ground. or on any suita-
bic piece of smooth and level turf, the
dimensions varying according To the
ground available, but from 80 to 100 feet
in length. with proportionate width.
In those days the favorite places were
Bowling Green in New York city and
Boston Common.
Later on. when the sport grew TO be
a favorite one i'm the winter as well as
summer, alleys We're built under shell

AS the population Of the city increas-
cd so did the game. and great improve
ments were made i'm all departments or
the game until in lS49 the supposed
zenith had been reached, when one or
more alleys could be found in every
block in the more thickly populated
parts of the large cities.
In the sixties i'm New York and
Vermont laws were passed prohibiting
the playing Of the game of ninepins,
but this legislation was nullihed by the
addition of an extra pin. and the name
changed TO "tenpins' The present

There is need OF another emanclpa-
ton. This time the baseball player is
the worthy object of such legislation.
There Is no doubt that IL requires some
very stringent rules 10 keep the players
w line, but at the same time the mag
mates should not take any unfair adj
santage In their dealings with their
,layers. The players interests are the
magnates' interests. for without the for

LOCAL BREViTIES.
''1492." :"

"1492," with its sumptuous display of handsome scenery, magnificent cos tunes and pretty young ladies, will be presented at the opera house on Mon day night. There have been spectacles galore, but the handsomest and most successful of them all is ''1492' It is full of amusing scenes and incidents, bright and catchy music and clever specialties. The first act opens in Spain, with Columbus and his dazzling court. This scene is filled with amusement and color, and dancing and singing features aid in the unfolding of the plot. The finale sees Columbus embarked for the new world. Act shows Madison Square in New York. Speclalties are a feature of this act, and they are of clever order. The last act takes the audience to Spain, when everything is strengthened out and grand electrical finale brings the performance to an end. Among the novel features promised are the original and famous Kilanyi living pictures, the Spanish ballet and the
