The writer had the pleasure on
several occasions to witness ball
games between the jacksonville and
Covington teams, and On each oc-
casion have observed a disposition on
he part Of players in both teams to
wrangle, to indulge in boisterous
Authorizations and Objectionable
language, and to engage in puerile
discussions during the progress of
| the game. To eliminate these dis
agreeable features that are fast
| bringing these two teams into I'M
popularity l would suggest that the
wiser heads among them get to-
gether and select professional um-
pire from New Orleans, against
whose decisions there would be no
comeback, and thus do away with
all these petty squabblings and such
| language as was used on the Gov
| ington diamond last Sunday The
public, as rule, is fond of ball play
ing and patronize the sport literally,
but emphatically object to witness
ing the sport turned into an exhibit
ton of pandemonium, and more es
pecally when neighboring towns are
the contenders.
