Two more games. and the Mid.
Pacific Winter League will close its
gates. Saturday the Chinese go up
against the AlEService team. and ON
Sunday they meet the champion Ha-
walls in the closing game OF the
schedule, Saturdays entertainment

sion OF all Riddles under Is, and this
should put lot of life into the andf
ence, and insure a big turnout.
The league has been a success IN
that ii has accomplished Its purpose
that OF giving the Chinese team or.
eanlzed opposition, and avoiding mis-
understanding as to what aggregation
should have preferred dates From a
baseball standpoint, though, the games
have been very one-sided. The Chinese
winning all but one game, which they
dropped TO the Portuguese. Also. the
actual running Of the games has been
open to some criticism. There has
been more or less rowdyism among
the spectators. and umpfres have not
been properly backed up BY the man.

the fans at last Sundays game were
Justly indignant at the failure Of the
management to back up the regular
league umpire, when he had come TO
the front for clean baseball.
Now Treadway is TO have some new
tickets. printed containing the clause
which will allow him TO have any OBJ

grounds. Well and good, but who Is
to do the ejecting?
Not the regular police, if their ac-
tons in the past are any Indication
of what may be expected in future.
They are peaceabiy inclined fellows,
and the source OF any trouble at the
ball park can be easily located By the
stream OF blue-eoated Figures travelling
IN the opposite direction. Last Sun.
day 1t took q real captainsuf the force
to persuade one rowdy fan to leav8
the grounds. and that captain stood
for more argument and sbeefIHg" than
any cop should take. II he had grab

any attention to the ball park rowdies.
It's up to Mr. Thomas Treadway to
supply his own police. A suggestion To
the park management Is that to back
up its new rules and regulations II Sc
cure tine services of six two handed
bouReeTs, who are able and willing to
keep order. Put them in uniform, and
get them sworn in as special police,
as Is done in other places and make
them responsible for the good conduct
of the bleacherites and grandstanders.
OF course, have the regular police on
hand also. Some Of them are really
ornamental
