tice during the afternoon with the ex-
ception OF the Freshmen eight.
Harvard's Varsity eight did a fast mile

pitaL The game was played on the New
Haven grounds, and the umpire alleged
that the pitcher of the home team
creased the ball AS a result the elusive
sphere, even when hit for a three-baggeG
or a home run, refused to do more than
fy straight up or sideways as foul. Be
cause of this literally slippery trick that
umpire declared the game forfeited TO
Springfield
Thereupon went up the familiar cry or
xiii the umpire!" Some held him wnlle
others pounded him with bats. His teeth
were broken and his face was gashed and
swollen Even the players who tried 10
protect him We're beaten.
1t is such rowdyism that Is discredlt-
ing the national game. Not only the pub
lie but the players themselves should see
that II Is stamped out effectually ana
speedily All Americans love baseball,
all take pride in the high degree OF
efficiency to which the sport has peen
developed and alike feel disgraced by re-
sorts to trickery or hoodlumism-
The baseball associations are the ones
To Zeal with the matter. Let them or
ganize to furnish ample police protection
against the rowdy and tough. with IN
structions for stern measures. In this
way, and this way only, can the nuisance
be abated.--New York American.
