not be said as a matter of law that as Ia
spectators who We're not acquainted
with the dangers attending the game
of baseball the defendants had per-
formed Il full duty when only part Of

said:
1T has been frequently held that one
who invites the public to places of
amusement, such as theatres, shows and
exhibitions. must exercise n high de-
gree of care for the safety of those in
vited. As to stairways, platforms,
walks and other structures, 1t may he
said that the duty Is somewhat similar
in degree and nature to that owing from
common carrier to its passengers.
But this rule must be modi-
fled when applied to an exhibition or
game which Is necessarily accompanied
with some risk to the spectators.
Baseball Is not free from danger tn
those witnessing the game. But the
perils are not so imminent that due care
on the part OF the management requires
all the spectators to be screened in. In
fact a large part OF those who attend
prefer to sit where no screens obscure
the view. The defendant has II right
to cater to their desires.
