Another evidence of the rowdyism IN
the form of abuse OF the umpire that
has lately cropped out at National Park
came yesterday when Mr.. Connolly was
hooted.
While it was little more than an echo
in comparison with the scene the day
previous, il nevertheless was a nasty
breach and was severely condemned
by the more representative fans who
are disgusted with the way that the
rougher element is acting of late,
