TOOLE ASSERTS
RIOTS MUST
CEASE

NEW YORK, June 30.-"Visiting
teams must receive civil treatment
at the hands of the fans in the In
ternational League" said J. Conway
Toole, league president, today.
The head Of the International cir.
cult stated that the rowdyism in
Baltimore, and in any other cities
in which league games are played,
must stop.
IT can't understand this recent
outbreak in Baltimore, but I will
say that 1t is going to STOP" he
continued. Teams playing on for.
eign grounds must not be molested. y
The International leader stated
that the visiting players in Balti
more would not be further troubled
by the fans calling them names or
making vile remarks about their
families.
1.-THE man with the horn" is also
a memory in Baltimore, stated the
president.
Fans who go to the ball game
and sit along the third-base line
directly behind the visiting dug-out
will not be allowed to insult Tho
team. Direct action will be taker
against any such occurrences anc
the fans will he elected from the
ball park II other disciplinary meas
ures fail to correct the trouble Of
OriOle Park" President Toole said
He said that rowdyisn was not
general in the league this year, and
that Baltimore was the only towr
from which he had received re
ports from both umpires and visit
ing teams.
He was inclined to blame the Elk
cessive heat of the past two weeks
as the cause of some Of the dis
turbances.
Toole thinks the trouble will auto
matically adjust itself, but he is pre-
pared to bring about a quick settle
ment If fans continue their present
attitude toward visiting teams.

swer comes back, salt them for the
coming winter.
The method. is simple and II will
be a pleasure, also b pride OF
boasting to your friends that you
not only caught, but preserved the
fish yourself.
Medium coarse salt IL the best;
common barrel salt is recommend
ed. but any salt, even table salt,
will do. The amount required may
be estimated from the capacity of
the containers intended to be filled
One pound of salt to / gallon of
capacity is q good rule to follow.
Almost any tight receptacle will
do--a barrel, key. firkin, kit. or
earthenware crock. Owing to the
liability to rust, tin or iron is not
desirable, although galvanized iron
ware or agateware would answer for
short period Nothing exceIs a
common firkin, which may be had
In various sizes.
The usual procedure is to split
the fish down the belly to the
vent and remove the intestines.
Take out the backbone and cut
off the head and tail. Be sure to
scale the fish and wash IN sailed
water.
Having prepared the fish In some
such way as Indicated, place layer
tafner, and on this spread a layer
of fish, one deep, skin side down,
tail or narrow end toward the
center of the container. previously
having rubbed onto the meat side
some salt; then cover these with a
layer of salt and add another layer
Of fish, repeating the process until
the container is full or the supply
of fish is exhausted.
The salt with moisture from the
fish viii make a strong brine in
which the fish may be kept until
required for use, IL protected from
heat. The temperature should not
exceed 70 degrees Fahrenheit. A
lower degree is safer. A piece OF
board shaped to fit the container
should be placed on top of. the fish
and weighted with a clean rock. If
the supply of fish first packed is
not sufficient to fill the receptacle,
by following the same process rs
before, other fish may be added
from time to time until the con-
tainer Is full Should the brine
evaporate or leak out. a sufficient
quantity to cover the fish may be
added. This Is made by dissolving
two and one-half pounds of salt to
one gallon Of water, or until the
brine is strong enough to float a
potato. When full, the receptacle
should be headed up or tightly
covered.

They Need Catchers.

IF you don't think a catcher is
important to a club, just let
- some of those smart managers
try to play a game without one.
Why, friends, without a catcher,
all the balls that was thrown
would naturally plug right into
the chicken wire behind home
plate. And if there was no
chicken wire, why the darned old
apple would hit the chickens right
on the craw.
One reason why Rabbit Maran-
vile never made a pitcher was
that he didn't like that chicken
wire, and Judge Lands never
would permit them to use rabbit
wire instead. In this day of
radio, it is thought they shouldn't
have any wires at all around a
ball park.
But then, without wires, hon
would US writer's get our stories
to our offices? Maybe by radio
telephone, but there is going to
be a law passed that ball players
is forbidden to talk to telephone
operators, as that is why we are
getting so many busy signals.
But to refer to catchers and
their Importance, what would q
lawn mower do without a grass
catcher? And, If you should hap
pen to look not like human be-
ing but like something else, you
soon realize how important the
dog catcher is if you get put ir
the pound.
And if some players 1 know
got put in a pound, especially
those bum pitchers, why they
would get pounded to pieces
judging by the way the batters
are pounding them.

The author started out really
to be a catcher. The first thing
ne caught was whooping cough.
He has been whooping it up, as
Bill Harris movies would say,
ever since. 1t was the time when
they had whoop skirts, and aside
from being left-handed, it was
terrible luck to be born at that
era. 1t was an era, all right, as
the eyes had no chance at all.
You look around, and you will
not see any left-handed catchers
at all. Just why that is, is some
thing for Secretary Hughes to
determine. Personally / believe
that left-handers would be too
smart for the average pitcher
and would show him up.
| need only refer to Wally
Schang's illness to show how i'm
portant catchers are to a club.
Without Schang, despite the fine
playing Of Holman mad others
of that class, the Yanks hit into
a slump. It would be more
proper to say that they didn't
hit the ball much, either, but hit
the toboggan. No wonder, for
those kind of sleds is awful big,
and you couldn't miss one with
a flyswatter even.
