Polo Grounds Fans
Cheer Game Braces

THE fckleness of fandom was
illustrated forcibly at the Polo
Grounds yesterday. For the benefit
Of the big holiday crowd the official
announcer megaphoned the progress
Of the games between the Braves
and Pirates in Pittsburg. The fans
did not appear well pleased at the
prospect of shutout by the Pirates
over the Bostons and during the
time that Pittsburg was leading re-
ceived the news passively. When,
however, IL was announced that
Boston had tied in the ninth inning
a mighty cheer arose that was con-
tinued for some minutes. A little
later when this same crowd learned
that Cincinnati had scored four runs
against New York In the first inning
there was another demonstration
favorable to Boston. 1t was not an
American League crowd either.
Giant supporters were on hand in
force. The action of the crowd
showed the fairness of New York's
sport lovers, who are willing to
admire a gallant fight, be it friend
or foe.

room and when you are with the child
slip 1t on. Also tie handkerchief OF
cap of wash material over your hair
As the disinfectants to be used are
poisonous they should be prescribed
by the doctor in charge of the case
and careful directions as to their us,
should be given by him.
1t is not necessary to keep the room
