yesterday.
a display which rivals in -owdyism
that game of yesterday has not occupied
the attention OF local fans since last
season, when Clarke Griffith and few
thugs in ball uniforms disgraced them
selves and the game by an unseemly eX-
hibition which eliminated in the arrest
of one or two of the disturbers.
Yesterday, even though nobody was ar
rested, there was good occasion for the
clapping of couple of the Baltimoreans
into Jail for disturbing the public peace.
The offenders were Kelley and Gilbert,
ard the offended was Umpire Carruthers.
There were over fifteen hundred ladies
in attendance at the game-yestcrday
was ladies' day-and they were given a
pretty erroneous idea of what a typical
baseball game is. The function OF yes
terday looked more like a Donnybrook
fair function than sample of modern
bali. The wonenfolk should not judge
the most distinctive American game by
what they saw yesterday; neither should
they believe that all players are of the
Kelley and Gilbert stripe.
