BY W. w. Naughton.

Q AN FRA NCISCO. June 3.-Was
baseball or Ty Cobb justified
for infilcting corporal punish
ment on a spectator who shower
ed personal abuse on him? The
writer has read and listened to
bodies of argument in the connec-
ton, and is satisfied there is still
deal to be said on both sides.
"a mans personality is sacred to
himself and he should not suffer
himself to be called vile names
say those who take the Cobb end
of it, Besides, this thing of hound
ing a player is far-reaching in its
effects. 1t rattles him and prevents
him from showing the best that is
in him. This means that the team
to which he belongs is made to
suffer"
Those who view the matter from
the opposite angle contend that
roofing or roasting at a baseball
game is largely a birthright and
that seeking to curb the vocal out
put that causes the atmosphere in
the neighborhood of ball park to
vibrate would be interfering with
the liberty of the subject
"A player should be deaf, dumb
and blind to outside influences"
say those of the latter way of
thinking. AT the worst. he should
regard roasting as one of the ac-
commandments of a calling that en-
ables him to draw down big money"
And there you are.
In support of the free speech
phase of the matter it may be
stated that there are certain forms
of outdoor sport. the world around,

MUT(NEERS IN
CHINA ARE SHOT
BY TROOPERS

WI Chang, China Sept .26.-More
than 200 mutinous soldiers were sum-
marily executed without the formality
of court martial by the loyal troops
commanded by General Lii Yuan Hang
in consequence of the outbreak that
occurred among the soldiers encamp-
eG beyond the walls of this city on
Tuesday. The remainder of the mu-
tineers fled into the open country.
The mutineers were all cavalrymen
and numbered more than 1000. They
had annanged with the artillerymen
quartered inside the walls to join in
the movement, but the gunners fail
ed to keep their promise.
General Chi-Men was warned of the
mutineer's plot. He permitted the
city gates to be opened as had been
arranged by the conspirators and
body of mutineers numbering fifty,
who were to seize important points,
were admitted and Immediately shot
down. The others. on hearing the
firing followed and severe fighting re-
suited in the defeat of the mutineers.
