In the early '9O's baseball was
rough and rowdy game. The
Tebeaus, the McGraws, the Bur
ketts and the Kellys were in the
ascendent, and Baltimore, CTeve-

cially hard teams to handle.
Players surged about the UNI
pires, questioning every other
decision, but Nichols was at all
times quiet and orderly until
play was resumed, when hequick-

He does not believe the game
