The season is in full swing" says
Golfers Weekly. That is to say that
groups of men are playing games of
ball. eagerly watched by thousands
seated on bare boards under the rays
of Il burning sun and the accounts of
these proceedings telesrapned from
Maine TO California and from Lake
Superior to the Gulf are scanned by
men and boys in every little town upon
the map. The hordes who haunt the
bleachers one day after another could
not be induced to go so persistently to
hear the greatest orators now living OF
who ever lived, even il a brand new
speech We're offered every day. This
tribute is paid to eighteen physically
perfect human animals selected out
of eighty millions, functioning with
accuracy and strength in heavens open
air and sun. These youths, mostly
Irish in descent. and a few years over
twenty, instead of being farmers lads,
butchers or manufacturers of brick are
heroes by virtue of their efficiency in
the eternal interests of controversy and
play. Nothing more entirely human
than q base ball crowd Was ever seen.
Every close decision against the home
team is Il robbery and the umpire who
| makes it is Il thief. 1t is quietly UNI
derstood, therefore, that as IL rule the
home team is to receive somewhat
the better of the decisions. To lessen
the tendency to gloom and riot the
gifted historians. Of the press bend be-
fore the accumulated and centered pas
sions Of the mass even as the umpires
do. That the primitive man still en-
lists nobody can doubt who spends an
afternoon watching ten thousand peo-
pie yell violently for two hours in the
effort to help nine employees of one
city to accomplish more with a base
bal! than nine employees of another.
