PASSING OF RoWDY PLAYERS
Drinking, Carousing and Other Forms
Of Dissipation, Once so Prevalent,
Are Seldom Noticed.

No game under the sun has i'm
proved in regard to the personnel o.
its participants as baseball, according
to Scott f. Chesnett OF Birmingham
Southern league umpire.
There are very few rowdies in the
game today" he added, and time viii
soon come when a rowdy will no mora
be tolerated in baseball than in any
other profession. Drinking, carousing
and other forms Of dissipation. once
so prevalent, are very seldom wit
messed today.
Baseball players have learned that
rough tactics avail them nothing, but
this is directly the result of the firm
hand of Judge Kavanaugh, president Of
the league, and the frequent expression
of disapproval on the part Of the fans.
Throughout the 1914 season, | was
compelled to put out of games only
three men, whereas in the olden days
umpires often put out half a dozen in
one afternoon. And another improve.
ment which is noted is that no longer
do sporting editors attempt to roast
umpires. During the season / was not
adversely criticized a single time, I'M
less one might construe a remark to
the effect that | missed one or two
in the nature of criticism.
All in all, the game is on a very
high plane in the Southern league"

In the opinion of Harry Vardon, the
English golf expert, the acme Of con
troll lies in the ability TO slice or pull
a ball at will On occasions Vardon
has extrlcated himself from tight
places by resorting to this form OF
master shot, but it is doubtful If any
one has the pulled ball down to such
a point of science as had the late VIII
Anderson.
1t was at Oakland some fifteen
years ago when the course at Bay
Side consisted of nine holes that An
dersou had a chance to show his won
derful cleverness in this line. Being
the Bautusol professional at the time,
Anderson had been selected by James
A. Tying as partner in four-ball
match against Walter j. Travis. then
a member of the Oakland Golf club,
and Dave Hunter, at that time the
professional there. In playing what
was the home hole the drive was over

London.-A dispatch from Berne
says:
"All Germany's war bread regula-
tons, war cookery schools and other
arrangements are not due to any real

to induce charitable Americans to feed

government has taken over all stocks

thereby causing it to travel straight

of malice as well as the truth of the
matter complained of.
1t appears, therefore, that, to Sc
cure a libel law that shall be just
to publishers, there must be a
change in the State Constitution
that the words, land was published
for good motives" must be elimin-
ated.
Over twenty years ago, the edf-
tor hereof called attention to the
injustice of the Florida libel law
and demanded change in it. In
recent years, the Florida State
Press Association has several times
made pretense of an effort to Sc
cure the desired change, but has
devoted more attention to excur-
sions, banquets and celebrations
than to this important matter.
Now, the South Florida Press Asso-
citation has taken hold of the sub
ject and hopes to accomplish a re-
form.
Right here it is proper to an
nounce that any Florida editor who
has any practical suggestion to
make on this subject. any PROPOSE
tion to offer as to legislation desired
in behalf of the press, is urged to
submit his views between now and

THE LIBEL LAW PROBLEM

Section l3 of Sthe eclaration of
Rights of the Constitution of the
State of Florida reads as follows:
Every person may. fully speak
and write his sentiments on all sub
jects, being responsible for the
abuse of that right, and no laws
shall be passed to restrain or
abridge the liberty of speech or of
the press. In all criminal prose-
cutions or civil actions for libel, the
truth may be given in evidence to
the jury, and if it shall appear that
the matter charged as libelous is
true, and was published for good
motives, the party shall be acquitted
or exonerated"
In Vol. XXI, page 432, of the
Decisions of the Florida Supreme
Court, it is held: Good motives are
essential to a justification or exon
Grafton of publishing libelous mat
ter which is true, under the Con-
stitution of Florida"
All this means that, if a newspa
per denounces man as a rascal
for instance, as thief; the pub
Usher must prove not only that the
man is thief, but that he, the
publisher, had good motives" in
publishing the fact.
The presumption of malice is on
the publisher Cor EDITOR and the
burden of proof falls upon him
How can he prove that he had nc
malice, that he was actuated solely
by good motives?" Who can
Swear as to what moved him in
publishing the alleged libel?
AS matter of simple justice, the
prosecution should be required to
prove malice, the want of good
