 When it looked like an indefinite postponement for the gallant Baions, the bleachers sent up a protest long and lusty, both sides got busy, and the first run was almost marked up on the big score board At the end of the eighth inning. with the score still tied, a costly error let the other side in, with a swoop.
 But baseball Is clean sport, and the real fan has a well developed sense of fair play, so the sipilarity is not so marked after all.
 Ancient Tradition
 The ancient tradition that the sexes can be divided by rigid lines. on ques tions like baseball--or suffrage--re ceived a rude shock, for 1t was a self evident proposition that the women were good fans as the men. True enough. they did not make the same kind of noise the men did, any more than they will vote exactly like men; but their treble tones were just as ef fective as the bass roar. In urging the Barons to connect with the pellet. and the theory of silent influence" does not ,hold good in the baseball world, any more than 1t works advantageously in
 
 up a good scrap was also proved ia the inning played by the opposing teams of the municipal gym girls. Both teams played in rare form. Their yell, in the center of the diamond. while Miss Shapiro was warming up. met with ready applause in the crowded grand stand.
 If psychology professes to exhibit what may be learned concerning the human soul, in the forms of exact ob servation, fixed terminology, classified arrangement and rational explanation, so, also verify does the humble fan do all these high browinsh things. What nuts" the game would have been for Dr. Freud, Havelock Ellis, Max East man or Hugh Roberts in his salad days. Far be it from me, a mere stuff. to at tempt to explain why human nature h the raw is always on tap at baso- ball game with its fixed terminology, | 1 ational explanations, etc.

 Dannie Clark Wins
 In the first inning Danny Clark won the 'first-hit' prize, offered by the suf- fragists, but the 'two-bagger," and the "three-bagger rewards were not claimed during the battle.

Associated Pressl

NEW Y0RE--With the holding Of
the National league schedule meeting
here February 9 the baseball mag
mates of organized baseball will be-
gin to edge out of the spotlight in
favor of the player. The winter
months mark the season of the mag
mates greatest prominence and this
has been particularly true of the
league executives and club owners
since the world series. The struggle
between organized and independent
baseball interests has forced the play,
er, in his active role, well into the
background. With the call for spring
training and the announcement of
schedules real baseball enthusiasm
will begin to revive and the possibili-
ties of the 1915 season outlined.
Before this situation in the national
sport can be reached, however. there
are number of important rulings,
legal and executive, which must be
clarified. The schedule meeting OF
the American league has already been
held and the National league will hold
its final conference in this city Feb
ruary 8. At this gathering the mag,
mates of the senior league will pass
officially upon the playing dates for
the coming season and also upon sew
eral resolutions and suggestions
passed or considered at the meeting
held early in December.
Chief among these is the rule limit.
ing club. to Il players during the
major portion of the pennant race and
the proposals to deny the withdrawal
of waivers once requested upon
player as well as the proposition to In
crease the number of games in the
worlds series. General opinion
among the National league magnates
appears to indicate that the 21-playel
rule will be rescinded at this meeting.
Passed at a time when a financial re-
trenchment policy was strongly advo-l
waited careful consideration Of the
effects of the rule has led to the be-
lief that 1t will work a hardship upon
the majority of the clubs without ef-
fecting a saving in keeping with its
drastic results.
Regarding the proposed rule against
the Withdrawal of waivers requested,
there is a wide difference of opinion
and definite action on this proposition
is UNCERTAIN. The question has been
discussed generally among club own
ers and managers since the December
meeting and there is much doubt re-
garding the effect of such a regula-
ton. 1t appears likely that the pro-
posal will be tabled for further consid-
Grafton. The idea of increasing the
worlds series games from seven to
nine or eleven contests has apparent
ly been dismissed for the present at
last. 1t is probable that the matter
will be given but passing mention in
business before the league.
