Fights are bound to crop out in the
amateur games occasionally. because
baseball as played by boys is a siren
nous fight from start TO finish. especially
if the rivalry is strong, and when one
team swtpes the other. fists are liable

word can be said in regard to clean
II baseball. To win a game Is a small
thing. when the whole matter is sifted
q 20 the bottom. and it is much better to
win clean cut and without fist fight

the start OF Thursdays fight all of
u the participants should be benched for
a reasonable time, to remind them that
fighting at ball game is poor manners.
