HlBE turning point in the conduct oi
J. baseball on the playing field has come
Tho game Is to be played from now on for
the benefit of the fans in the grandstand
and bleachers not to satisfy some player
desiring to work of his temper, on an
umpire or an opposing player.
This was the statement of Tener, presl-
dent of the National League. In an inter-
view today. His declaration follows the
action Of National League magnates, who
in their meeting last week in New York
agreed to prevent bolsterous discussions on
the playing field.
Umpres in the National League here
after are to he treated courteously and the
decisions are to be final. Also there Will be
no more verbal attacks on visiting players
by the white -clad players. nor will the home
guard have to listen to sallies from the
visitors bench
This Is the day of allbis," President
Tcner said. THE baseball player is much
like the average mother. When n boy is
hard to control the mother blames his COM
panons; when baseball player looks bad
on a play he doesn't like to take all the
blame, so he looks around for some one to
take It. And the umpire usually is tho
handest Often he says things he
shouldn't, and then he is put out of the
game and fined.
I'VE have certain laws which are meant
to control the actions of players and man.
ayers on the field and heretofore we have
been forced to do all the disciplinlng Here
after the club owners are going to take q
hand, with view to stopping all wranglng
before 1t starts.

II is no easy task to face Chicago, ST.

there can be no let-up, whereas the four
besiegers have soft spots in which TO re-

Neither is 1t any soft job for four clubs

-owwed to yell from the bench at opposing
players, nor to make tho same kind Of an
attack on the field OF play"
Tho fan pays for the game, Tener de-
elared and should be given what he pays
Tor. He believes the fan gets weary when
he sees and hears wrangle on the field,
and he does not believe the fan pays for a
newspaper to read statements regarding a
fracas in baseball game. Boxing exhi-
bitons, Tener is convinced, are provided in
suitable places and the National League Is
not in competition with the gentlemen who
are promoting them.
These new rulings do not mean there will
be any lack of enthusiasm, according to
President Tener. on the contrary, there Is
expected to be just as much as ever with
n little more cleanliness. Coaching will be
moro encouraged than ever, he said, but
players in the National League will have to
conflne their conversational ability to play
ors wearing uniforms like their own.

The Open Column


Editor tie Missouriam: Wearing q
palm beach suit in some localities and
at some times is the act of a brave
man or fool The reason is that the
and also the temperament of the peo-
pie. is not always favorable toward
the thing of beauty and coolness.
The man who comes out in a palm
beach suit at the beginning OF the
season is laughed at for rushing the
matter. and the man who waits until
toward the close of the season is ac-
cused of waiting for the annual ALI
gust sale of such suits. The average
wearer of palm beach apparel does so
between times Some are SO afraid
of being laughed at that they never
blossom out.
Like many other things a palm
beach suit is not necessary. 1t is,
however. very comfortable and serves
to attract attention to a person who
otherwise could walk before crowd
of several hundred and be noticed by
none except his friends.
If you have Il suit of this descrip-
ton, wear it. If you haven't and your
friends advise you to get one. buy one
and then wear it, 1t is nothing to be
ashamed of: it is something TO be
careful of.
A few disadvantages keep many
from partaking in this pastime. When
one has himself inside of a palm
beach suit. he has to take serious note !
of the places in which he desires to |
seat himself. These suits have an alb |
normal attraction for everything that |
oughtn't to be on a suit of clothes.
Then, too, the clothes cleaner and |
presser is helped, since the delicate |
fabric. succumbs to dirt very readily. |

ON BEING FUNNY

Some persons are born funny;
others acquire the art: others think
they are funny when they are not
that is. they are ridiculous. Some
funny persons are funny when they
oubht 10 be. Others are funny when
they oughmt to bc-thcy are 4 nuis-
ance.
Being funny is something that the
world appreciates and is willing to
pay for when the right person comes
along and is funny at the right time.
Charlie Chaplin is funny and is draw
ing $GJ0.0O0 a year for being So Others
are funny and get less, which is not at
all funny They are not funny enough
or else they are too funny. Or maybe
the circumstances in which they find
themselves are not funny enough to
uTdW SutH Il price.
Being funny for living is not usu-
ally a success. Vely few are foolish
enough to try such a method. Some
start out with the intention of taking
other folks money while they are
doubled up with laughter and are
themselves taken in to some institu
tion suitable for the purpose Now and
them men makes a living on the
laughter of his fellow-men.
Then there is the amateur funny
man. the creature who is present at
every entertainment, large or small,
in every parlOr convention, at every
banquet or quiet dinner, the fellow
who says or does the unusual thing at
the unusual time. His success de-
ponds pom the congregation.
\ true and honest funny man is a
JOY forever. He is like an electric fan
and an ice cold drink on L summer !
day. He is welcomed by everybody
but the crouch.

NEW YORK, June 6.-The "suffs"
proved they are real sports at "Suf-
frage Day on the Diamond" at the
New York Polo Grounds while the
Giants and Cincinnatis struggled for
supremacy before the admiring gaze
of thousands of suffrage baseball fans
here.

in yellow, white and blue circulated

Among those who carried trays sus-
pended from their necks by yellow
ribbons were Miss Agnes Morganthau.
Miss Bessie Brainerd. Miss Clara
Greenhut. Miss Hannah White, Miss
Molly Tolman, Miss Elka Levi and
Miss Elizabeth Seeber.

Countess Barcynska. Two girls, one
Thoroughly sophisticated in the ways
of stage life, the other fresh and in

morals to aid her, go out to conquer in

phisticated girl succumbs to tempt

saved by a miracle consisting of play
on words.
The philosophy of the book is all
wrong If conditions on the stage are
like those which the countess paints
so realistically, it behoovrs every girl
to keep clear of it, In her portrayal
of the life on the boards" she does
not leave one loop-hole by which
woman with talent and beauty may es-

seeking whom they may dev0ur."

The New Books
English Essays.

Many essays have been considered
TO- constitute a distinct type. These
are characterized by a personal con-
fidential attitude of the writer's toward
their subjects and the readers. by an
informal, familiar style and by a con
Germ with everyday manners and
morals or with individual emotions
and experiences rather than with
public affairs or the material of syS-
tematic thinking" This volume, The
English Familiar Essay by w. F.
Bryan and r. s. Crane of the depart
n,ent of English of Northwestern Uni
versity, is concerned with this familiar
essay.
The authors selected texts to show
the development of the essay in Eng
land. This made it necessary to be
gin outside of England with MOntaigne,
the originator of the type. A brief eX-
tract from La Bruyere is also includ-
ed. Except these, only British writer's
are represented for example. Bacon,
Cowley, Earle, Steele, Addison, John
son, Goldsmith, Lamb, Hunt, Hazlitt,
and Stevenson.
Besides the selections of essays, the
book contains a brief, but thorough,
dealing with the histori-
,al development of the familiar essay.
The volume also contains Photograph
cal notes, which include titles of
he most notable complete editions, al
50 notes which contribute to an intelli-
gent appreciation of the text.
