The suspension of Captain Cnanct
of the Chicago Cubs for firing pop
bottle into the bleachers after a few
had been bounced off his head by
these same bleacherites decides new
point in baseball ethics and sets a
precedent that cannot but be pleasing
to the men that sit in the sun seats.
The point is briefly that it is always
permissible to slam pop bottles at the
first baseman on the visiting team.
While it is not permitted that worthy
to return the fire. If one of the bot
ties breaks and sewers his jugular, or
if it does not break, but fractures his
skull, we'll and good. The home team
will give MIN a decent burial. This
decision will also be pleasing to the
umpire, as that worthy sees visions
of a respite while the fans have their
attention turned to the first baseman.

With these losses staring them in

thirty years ago. Nothing will jar a

And have not the gypsies' romantic

Of wandering, their superstitions and
lore and their supposed freedom from
humdrum restraints and moral and
legal conventions created in the pub

sion OF this curious people? Those
who have come closest to them assert
that such Is the case.
Especially is the popular idea a fall
lacy when applied to the American
gypsy, and 1t has remained for A. T..
Sinclair, Massachusetts lawyer, to
come publicly to their defense. MT.
Sinclair is In a position to know what
he talks about. He has spoken the
language of the American gypsy for
s1s years. he has given years Of study
I TO the habits of the oriental gypsy.
and to the subject he has devoted his
best observation. The result of his
I dealings with gypsies and his close
: association with them for quarter of
- century is the firm belief that they
are a much libeled and greatly mis-
understood people.
5f Talk Little Of Themselves.
Many have wondered why the gypsy
has never tried to defend himself.
why NO one Of them has ever attempt
ed to refute the general conception of
his people. When an outsider ap-
proaches a gypsy to get information,
the man who moment before might
have been loquacity Itself, in the
hope Of making horse trade, be-
comes suddenly secretive; he is as
close as the proverbial oyster. Not
once in a thousand times will gypsy
discuss with an outsider either his
,wn affairs or those of his tribe, what
ever the strangers business claims
ssay be upon his consideration.
sMssDn& Tom Stanley, son Of the chief
u he somerville gypsies, relented
somewhat from this rule to explain
certain misconceptions that have long
existed in the minds OF the public
coacerning the wandering folk.
