JUMPS START MANY FIGHTS
Amateur Association Confronted
With Many Protests Over De-

TWO TEAMS FIRED BY CITY
By FRANK QUIGLEY.

u
The robbers, yeggnen, porch climb
ers, gentlemen burglars, etc, as called
by the fans and players, otherwise
known as umpires, are having coolies
of trouble this season. Evidently
there is screw loose somewhere, Of
II not, the fans and players are SC
enthusiastic they temporarily forget
that the gink out in the middle Of
the diamond is only a mere man, and
all OF their ugly remarks cut him to
the gizzard. II the latter Is correct
then the fans should use better judg-
ment and cut out and frame the harsh
words, but If the umpires are at fault
then a corrective treatment of some
kind should be resorted to. Last sea
son when the umpires were picked al
random, apparently, the teams were
better satisfied, or If otherwise they
kept their inward thoughts in seclu.
sion, because the directors did not
have TO battle with as many protests
all season during 1915 as have al
ready been ushered in this year.
Two Teams canned.
Two teams, namely, the Hollys and
Trimble Bros, have received instruc-
tons that their presence will not be
tolerated hereafter on the municipal
lots. The members of both these
teams are gentlemen off the field and
the writer is unable to conceive how
they could be such roughnecks as to
deserve the punishment melted out to
them,
AS the writer understands the sit
uation, the Recreation board is cater
ing to the public and especially the
class that are unable 20 spend their
hard-toiled-for kale for Injuries. Now
the Hollys are one of the best teams
and one of the most popular in the
City league and have large bunch
OF followers Is it right to make the
persons that would like to see the
Hollys in action be compelled to dig
up rs cents for this privileged The
writer would suggest that suspen-
sion for two weeks would be enough
punishment for the first offense, or,
better still, arrest the parties at fault,
make them pay their fine in police
court the same as any other fellow
that delights in demonstrating the
way he can utilize his lunch hooks. If
these ball players that want to fight
had couple of $40 fines with ex-
penses to pay it wouldn't be long be-
fore the roughneck stuff would be OBJ
liberated.
Teams Cut to Limit.
Thursday ushered in the day for all
the magnates of the different teams
to cut down the membership from
fifteen to an even dozen. Superflu-
Gus players that were retained until
June will now be Offered an oppor-
tunity TO hook on with some eontin-
gent that Is in a depleted state. You
ought to cast your lamps
around, for II Is lead pipe cinch that
some good timber was unloaded last
week. On June Is the hooks will be
closed and unless a team is the vic
