Baseball partisanship was apparently
responsible for the appearance of An
tone Louis IN police court yesterday
morning. He was charged with assault
and battery on Harry Wong siu. The
evidence, while somewhat contradie-
tory, disclosed the fact that Louis was
an enthusiastic partisan of one of the
teams which played at Aala park on
Sunday, and Wong Stu Of an opposing
team Growing out of their enthusiasm
there was an exchange of epithets
based on their divergence of race and
color, and then another epithet based
On neither. Louis retorted with blow
on cIu cheek which brought the com
planning witness into court with his
face done up in absorbent cotton and
surgeon s tape.
Judge Long. while admitting provoca-
ton, said that it was fights and exhi-
billions OF rowdyism that brought Sun
day baseball into disrepute, and in the
interest Of the game, TO serve as a
lesson, he fined Louis So and costs
amounting 10 s1.40 more.
