Piedmont Journal, Banner:: "The
Des Arc Pelicans captured a game
from the Bronks at Fair Grounds
Park Sunday afternoon. The Peli-
cans are making q strong fight for the
penant and feeling was RUNNING high.
1t would have been a good game if it
had not been married by frequent dis
putes, which at zone time terminated
in a near riot. 1t all goes to prove
that the frien Dis of base ball are a great
many times its worst euemies. The
incident was a source of regret to all
lovers of clean sports and should be a
warning that the game must be free
from such occurrences if 1t is to en-
dure and retain its popularity"

Says last weeks Piedmont Journal
Banner: .If the Wayne-Iron Base
ball League is to survive and fill the
purpose for which it is created, that
ia to provide a clean, wholesome aft
ernoon's entertainment forthose who
enjoy the national game, drastic &C
tion is necessary to curb rowdylike
tactics which have marred several of
the contests In Piedmont and else
where during the seasons play. The
players, all of them, must learn to be
good sportsmen. The constant nag
ging at the umpire must cease and it
is our observation that if the players
conduct themselves as players should,
the fans on the sidelines will conduct
themselves in a proper fanlike man
ner. But once q player disputes a
decision of the umpire, a certain ele-
ment of the fans, carried away by
their interest in the contest, will take
up and continue the cry and the en-
ioyment Of the afternoon of the real
lover of the game is gone. Further
