THE FAILURE OF
TIE BRUSH Law
League Magnates Did Not Give
1t Proper Support.
Its Author Unjustly Maligned by
Sporting Writers.
Efforts TO Free the Game Of Rnsc-
ball From All objectionable
Features.

The experiences of last season proved
that the Brush law so called, which was
enacted for the purpose of suppressing pro-
fanity and other unseemly conduct on the
mart of ball players while upon the field
failed to accomplish the purposes intend
ed. Its failure has been attributed TO many
causes. 1t was thought that the proposed
reform was too radical; that the new meth
cd adopted was an innovation on old-time
methods; that il took the snap and ginger
out of the aggressive ball players, ana
thus became a serious handicap TO their
efficiency; that the removal of player
from the game for any offense instead OF
operating as a punishment was often agree
able to his state of mind, and that many
incompetent careless players made them
selves subjects of the umpire's displeasure
in order to be removed from the game and
thus escape the criticism OF the press anu
spectators.
Another reason assigned for the failure
of the law is that the owners or managers
of the clubs failed to give it an honest
support by not severely disciplining the
men removed from game for cause. This
latter reason seems to be the most reason
able explanation of the failure OF the law.
If a manager of club had imposed heavy
fine upon one of his players who had been
+ removed from game ana lnSlSteu UPON lle
payment there would have been fewer re-
movals OF ball players on account OF row.

an insult to common sense and obserVa-

The failure of the law can justly be
charged to the magnates themselves, who
failed to give it even tact support

reason for his arrest was the fact that
Mr.. Nelson, the painter, who occupies
rooms on Second street in the build

ed against him that he had stolen some
paint and also that he had sold paint
which was the property of Mr.. Nelson
and embezzled the money received for
1T. No charge was filed against Ken
nedy and Thursday afternoon, Nelson
having found THE paint which he
Thought was stolen, informed Mayor
Richardson that he would not prose-
cute Kennedy,who was accordingly re-
leased.
Nelson made in his original charge
a claim that he had sent Kennedy to
Macksburg to sell some paint for him,
but he did not account for the money
received, and therefore ne wanted him
arrested.

Va, and William Britton, of Belpre
whom we menbioned as being arrested
Wednesday evening by officers Roney
and Longley for working some kind of
a trick game were given a hearlng be-
ford Mayor Richardson Thursday
morning. They pleaded guilty to 'the
charge of working trick game and
were fined s5 and costs each, which
they were unable to pay and they re-
main in prison to produce something
of equal value.
The crime for which they. were ar
rested was that of working a game
wherein the victim has absolutely no
chance of winning, and is known as
The loop game. Charles EFlldorbrand,
The well known driver of the U. S. Ex-
press wagon in Uhls city, was the vic
tim Wednesday evening and lost five
dollars on the game, when he told the
oficres, with the result that the two
men were arrested and lodged in pris-

When the Mayor pronounced the
sentenced, one of the men wanted tc
pay his fine with the five dollars they
had gotten from Hilderbrand, but the
Mayor understood the act and would
not accept 1t that way. Thera is
said to have been third person i'm.
plicated with the two who were caugh
but he was not apprehended.
