Why He Went to a Concert.

Josef Holman has a story which
illustrates the attitude of many peo-
pie toward recitals of piano music.
A pianist was to give a concert, and
as the audience was filing in the ticket
taker stopped a man who presented
two tickets.
You can't go in" the official said.
You're not In fit condition"

pocket. "Of course I'm drunk. II

The boy took out of his pockets a

Again, she nodded in silent assent,

He stopped, and bent forward. His

A DISGRACE TO THE GAME.

ToHS EvERS. loptawed leader OF the Boston Braves
is again disgrace. In fact Evers in disgrace SO
y often that It is more OF item TO have him 50
through a week without any trouble on the diamond
than It is TO have him start riot on the ball field
Evers is known to coast one OF the great
ball players that the game has ever known; and al
SO as one OF the and most depicable players
in the national game today Time after time his actions
on the field have warranted indefinite suspension and
heavy fine but for some reason he seems 10 get on
easier than he should for OF damage that he
does
His latest outbreak came about IN Pittsburgh on Tues
day afternoon when he made himself nuisance from
the start Of the game Of double bill until he was
finally ban!shed from the game by Umpire Emslie one
the best umpires in the business He ended his day
work by making verbal attack on Fred Clarke as he
passed by players bench on his way from the playing
field with the result that Clarke chased him down IN
der the grands;and and him Of the best shak
ings that he has received since he attended public
school.
President Tener OF the National league has sent a
special agent to Pittsburgh get all the facts in the
case and as soon as he all the data before him. he
will make some decision in the From the best in
formation obtainabe. Evers usual was entirely at
fault and wholly responsible for the trouble He
was put out the game for continually naggtng at the
umpire he had been put out OF the game he still
kept hammerng away at the umpire until he was or
dered to hasten his exit from the lot unless he wanted
to get fine for his slow motions. He finally departed
but took shot at the Pirate leader on his way out
Evers is paid high price by the baseball public to
play ball and not to make himself generally obnoxious
1t is all well and good for ball player to have plenty
OF pepper and register legitimate kick now and again
but to be everlasting Grabbing" with the umpire his
fellow players and the spectators entirely wrong and
should not be tolerated for a minute.
Many try Evers saving that he is Of ner-
yous Temperament and that he really does not mean all
that he says and does on the ball field.
This is very lame excuse. however. Any man who
is of such temperament that he not play ball with
out dsgracing the game should retire from baseball
1t is to hoped that President Tener will see fit to
give Evers exactly what is coming TO him. even at the
cost of weakening the Boston team in the midst OF
close race Eyers long list Of offences warrant suspen-
sion and a heavy fine.
