Ter. Beecher and several of the Mem

Wood. Pabst and Clark also did what
they could to help him as also did a
policeman. There was no need of any
protection. however, as every man in
the crowd of spectators was so In
censed at the action of the person
that If there had been any "mobbing'

efforts to locate him. If he is found
he will never be allowed inside the
grounds at professional ball game

such incidents do more to hurt the
game than everything else combined
The American people love fafrFplay and
such an undetermined, unspcrtsmanlike
thing as that of yesterday is repulsive
to them. For the good of baseball II
is to be hoped that the management
of the Montgomery team will make II
their business to see to 1t that nothing
like the shameful occurrence of yes
terday ever happens again.

sponsibIe for the loss of yesterday Is
