issued by President Shive1ey He states
that he can no longer remit fines which
umpires have "plastered' on players
and that they must stick" The in
structions:
with the opening of the fifth cham
piOnship season of the Western asSocia-
ton, next Friday, expect to inaugu-
rate a thorough system of discipline,
and I trust that you will aid in my eff
forts to accomplish this end BY a spe-
cial act of the directors of this associa-
ton, at the fall meeting of 1905, We de-
cided that no fine imposed upon any
player this year shall be RENTED
Last season several 'rowdy' scenes were
enacted upon various diamonds and
the managers saw fit to remit the fines
This year. however, I was shorn of all
power of RENTING any fines, and when
anysumpire sees fit to put a plaster on
any player it will have to stick
II want you to fully acquaint your
players with the fact that they must
pires have been carefully selected and
come we'll recommended I will au-
thOrize them 10 permit no dispute Of
decisions, except by captains OF teams.
Players who leave their positions to
Wrangle with the umpires will be liable
to a fine and removal from the game
and a larger fine with a period of sus-
pension may follow recommendations
of the umpire.
eff occasion arises necessitating any
appeal to the umpires, it shall be the
duty of the captain to make known
this grievance. and the other players
of the aggrieved club shall remain in
their positions on the field until play
has been resumed.
This does not mean that captains
shall abuse the officials. for their COM
plants must be made in a gentlemanly
manner. Any captain or manager who
shall carry his agreement to the point
of personal abuse or assault will be
dealt with the same as other players.
Patrons of ball games attend the
game for the love of the sport and they
do not go to our parks to witness a
prize fight or 'wrangling match. The
majority of them become disguised
with the continuous kicking of players
of either or both teams and 1t greatly
! degenerates the sport. I will be ready
to listen at all times to complaints
against inefficient or designedly bad
umpires and viii endeavor to correct
such troubles, but these, like the COM
plants in the game must come from
club officials instead of players A
sufficient number of complaints against
any one official will be deemed cause
for his removal, but they must be bona
! hde. Please impress fully upon the
/ minds Of your players the fact that no
/ fines will be RENTED"

want to. that he did not have to keep
the foundry OPEN seems to be without
foundation. Captain Seaton has been
good to his men and has always paid
good wages. A thing for them to re-
member is that Captain Seaton has
attended so closely to business that
now, at his age of life. he really can
close the foundry without being in
convenienced blythe loss Of the income
from It, whereas the men employed
there, and who own homes in Atchison,
will be the real sufferers. Captain Sea

foundry, and it is hoped he will be able
to arrange things satisfactorily upon his

silver and gold. has been located on
