The local land office took notice OF
a curious circumstance the other day.
Homestead entries were made by six
men who have taken up lands in the
country south of Mesa. All of the
applicants came from Arkansas but
what is more remarkable, all of them
are republicans. Their departure from
Arkansas will not result in change
of the political complexion of that
state but their settling here will go
some ways toward a change in the
political complexion of this county.

of the Cubs, has written President
Lynch of the National league. re-
questing him to take some steps to
protect ball players from abusive
fans. 1t is to be hoped for the sake
of fair sport that President Lynch
will act on Murphy's suggestion,
as it is time the rowdy fan was
being suppressed as firmly as the
rowdy ball player has been.
The National league players are
not the only ball tossers who have
to stand abuse being heaped on
them by a loud mouthed fanatics
in the stands and bleachers. Base
ball fans are a great deal the
same, whether they are paying to
see big league game or a contest
between two brush league teams,
so Murphy's suggestion could be
adopted by every organized league
in the country, and should be.

Lynch said today he had not de-
cided what he will do for the rest Of
the season, but will let future
events care for themselves.
Last year Lynch was the hero OF
Seattle. He had been secured as
captain of the Seattle team after

seasons, during which time he won
one pennant and finished his team

TACOMA, July 22.-Mike Lynch,
well known baseball player and cap
tain, Is today out of a job. He was
released outright by D. E. Dugdale,
leading stakeholder in the Seattle
baseball club, last night.
Lynch has been captain Of the
Seattle club for two years and says
his relaese was entirely unexpected.
He was always regarded as one of
the best BASEBALL ladrs in the north
west and though his team is now at
the bottom of the league race, the
fault has not been charged against
Mike.
The first Lynch knew of his re-
lease was when Dugdale called him

crucial moment, more than any
fan, no matter how rabid the fan
is, hates to see him do it. A play
er Is known by his fielding and
batting ability and it stands to rea-
son that he is going to do his best
at all times.
In some cities the home players
are PANIED, but in a majority Of
cities the abusive fan takes his
spite out on the visiting players,
particularly If the home team is be-
ing defeated. If the player retail
ates by whipping his insulter he is
suspended and fined, and yet a ball
player is only human, and it is emf
nently human for a man with
spark Of red blood in his makeup
to defend himself and resent
abuse.
AS Murphy says, the club own
ers in the different leagues can
do more to correct this evil than
anyone else. He suggests that
owners post signs in prominent
places in their stands and bleach
ers, warning the fans that anyone
cursing or otherwise abusing
home or visiting player will be
elected from the grounds. 1t is
an idea worth the careful consider
alton of the owner of every league
ball team in the country, and it
should be adopted.
Base ball Is t0o clean and square
sport to be cheapened and hurt
by loud-mouthed, ill-mannered per-
sons.
