The semi-pro baseball managers all
over the country are taking wise
course IN refusing to admir- 10 their
ranks any player expelled by the majors
or suspended on charges Of crookedness.
The semi-proS are in better position to
hear ths opinion Of fans than the big
leag que club owners are. and they know
the puhlic will not stand for these men
in uniform.
The Bronx Giants. one OF the leading
Semi-rro teams in New York, which has
starred Hetnic Zimmerman. has cast
the veteran aside in response to pro-
tests from tho fans. Attendance at
their games showed a sharp falling of.
and tho crowd voiced its disapproval Of
poor I'm. who really IS more 10 bc

L Is evident that sentiment among
the real lovers Of the sport Is strongly
with Judge lands and that eternal ex-

who falls.
