In Cincinnati, Brooklyn and Washing
ton, during most of the season, the
crowds are bitterly sarcastic toward
the home teams. although the Brook
lyn crowds are decent except on Sat
urdays. st. Louis affords a queer
study of the crowds. When the
Browns are at home the crowds are
ugly and vent their temper upon the
players. yet half dozen blocks away,
on the rival park. there assemblies a
crowd wilder and more frantically in
favor of the home team and more I'M
reasoning in partisanship than almost
any In the country. Just where this
feeling arises is hard to discover. The
crowd is violent in temper when the
team is winning, worse when 1t is los
ing. Perhaps long years of bitter de-
feat have caused it.
In Boston and Philadelphia, on both
major league parks. the home players
and visitors are almost upon equal
terms. and the spectators applaud
good plays irrespective of the players.
They see baseball under the best con-
ditions. with both teams encouraged
and giving their best efforts to the
work. Pittsburgh is bad because of
the gambling that has become almost
part Of the game in the Smoky City.
The temper of the crowd is ugly and
the losing element is in evidence no
matter whether the home club wins
or loses. Detroit is a loyal. rather
violent crowd. tanned now because the
fans have learned to endure victory

of the rooters worked the more apa-

interesting phenomenon and set out
TO discover the reason. The first

There are few of the noted fans
now, chiefly because the papers sci.
dom mention them. Perhaps they ex-
list. In the old days almost every
club had one or two such followers.
Probably the best known was "Hi
HI" This was General Dixwell, of
Boston. who for many years followed
the fortunes of the famous old Boston
club. He is wealthy. Intellectual and
cultured gentleman who became
completely absorbed In baseball. He
followed the team wherever 1t went
and became familiar figure all over
the country. He occupied front
seat In the stands. kept a careful
score and studied the game with n
seriousness that was appalling. He
maintained a deep silence during al
most all the game. but when a really
great play was made he emitted two
sharp staccato barks: Hi! Hi" and
then dropped to silence again. His

the National league players last year
when they saw the wonderful Brush
stadium was that the crowd could not
make itself heard on the field as it
did in the old stands. The Polo
grounds crowd is odd. Somehow
fans who occupy box seats either are
not as rabid as those in the cheaper
seats or they are on their good be-
havior, and a fringe of box seats is
an effective shield for players.
Strangely enough the crowds on the

It was the loyalty of the south side

A Memory,

"Caruso's bones are musical" says
an English doctor; "if you tap one of
his knuckles 1t gives out a higher
pitched and more resonant tone than
those of the average person." Far be
1t from a layman's thought to dispute
the word of an eminent medical au-
thority. but from our school days we
have lively recollections of tap on
the knuckles resulting in tones that
for high pitch and resonance would
beat any that Caruso ever uttered

One of the queer things in that city
is the batting OF George Mullin. the
veteran pitcher. Mullin Is jolly,
quick-witted Joker and years ago he
began talking back to the bleachers.
He was warned that the bleacherites
would put him out of the business.
but persisted Every afternoon he
would walk down in front OF the
bleachers and engage in verbal
skirmish with the crowd, trying to
hundreds. He abused the crowd.

quitting" and enjoyed 1t. II he had
taken 1t seriously the result might
have been different, but after time
it became part of the game and now
the spectators In the bleachers would
not be satisfied II Mullin forgot to
start a skirmish. Last summer. 60
ing out on car in Detroit, three
young fellows were talking.
"Oh. I've got a peach of getback
at him today" said one. and. at the
urgent request of the others he drew
out card and read what he was 60
ing to say to Mullin II he came near
their seats.
1t is not the great crowds that at

strongest influence over players. True
there is a natural nervousness among
all the players when a tremendous

There are thousands Of these regulars,

sportsmanlike. for in these great gath

These crowds police themselves and

A baseball crowd is much like

and turmoil, but with one recognized
leader 1t can do much. A few years
ago a number of Chicago men at
tempted to carry out theory that the
crowd needed leaders and the result
was one Of the most dangerous ex-
periments ever attempted. The White
Sox rooters organized. band of men
far above average intelligence. who
laid daily plans for melting crowds
and stirring up enthusiasm. The
Board of Trade Rooters operated at
both Chicago parks. being organized
primarily to attack McGraw and the
Giants. They wrote and circulated
songs. invented ingenious methods of
harassing a worthy foe, and to force
undeserved victory upon the home
teams. The idea spread rapidly.
Rioters clubs" were organized in
many cities and towns to help the
home teams For few weeks It

One of the most dramatic displays

character who was named because OF

you that teams invariably play bet

The fan invariably will respond that

the fans accuse the players. and both
are in a measure right. The major

leagues assert a powerful influence

I you they would rather play for the

York Giants than for any other teams.
They will assert that twenty Cobbs
could not win pennant for Cincil-

The fanatical loyalty OF the White
Sox rooter and the Giant patron, the
angry abuse Of players by the an

expect nothing but defeat. have an
immense effect upon the players and
