 New York, May .i7---The most pleasing note of tho 1892 baseball season to date (and I'm not over. looking that hit the Red Sox made back in AprlD WAS the glassware shower rendered the Giants by the Cincy fans a day or so ago.
 Not that this department. which was founded on tho motto n full for all" believes In such sports as assault and battery. mahem and n,anslaughtcr. For it doesn't But it will restore baseball, q pretty me. chanical thing in these days of AL phonse and Gaston players, cultur- cd umpires and Lord Fauntleroy cust omers, to It's former rugged and virllo state.
 It is Q very critical person, indeed who saw ft to criticise the Cincy customers for their outburst of tenn per. Tho fact that they've got any enthusiasm loft after tho teams Cincinnati has put on the field for the Inst few years, Is a plum won der and n tribute to their patience and loyalty. Now that Brother Bowley has at last put together q machine that seems headed some- where. 1t is only natural that tho Rhinclanders' joy should know no bounds. I say let them shoot and stomp and fight and rave and scream and scrap. As long as their aim Is poor. whats the harm? The fact that there were enough paying patrons in t he Cincinnati stands to make a riot possible more than justihes tho disturbance. You only have to have enough memory to remember 1881 to recall when there were 50 few people at Red- leg games that a pop bottle shower was impossible. Had there been one last year it would have consisted of probably one. and at the most three. bottles winging lonesomely through the air. What I meant is the attendance was so poor that if a chappie wanted to stage dem. onstration he was forced to shadow box with himself. Cincinnati citi- zens still speak of the day set of Siamese twins came to the game and the doorman hung out the S. R. Q. sign.
 What q change this year. There were more than 24,000 persons on | hnnd to rnzZ tho Giants. Such q crowd is n pretty swell testimony to tho business acumen md courage Of President sidney Well who'd spite all the talk of hard times. wont out and spent money right and loft, as the boys say. The poor est club in the league, Cincinnati didn't hesitate to relieve Brooklyn and st Louis of the big salaries paid Herman and Hafey.
 Only one thing about tho riot has us puzzled. Dispatches had 1t that Herman ran out in front of the stands yelling play fair. fellows! play fair!"
 Just what did Babe mean? Did he mean that the fans should not concentrate their Are on one or two players but scatter 1t among the enemy with sterling impar- tiallty? Did ho mean the marks men should stick to straight balls, and not resort to curves? Or. know ing the rugged manner in which things bounce off his head. was he trying to make his skull the prin- cipol target?

|UTOPIANS CLAIM
 WIN OVER RIVALS
 IN OAKVILLE GAME
Dispute as to Victor Brings Offer to Play Again on a Different Diamond

Some question as to the rightful winners of 6 game played last Sun- day has brought snappy com munication from the Utopians who claim a 10 to 9 win over the Buck ingham A. C. of Oakville. In order to settle the issue, the Utopians are willing to play another game next Sunday. Some difficulty in rec gard to scoring rules Is referred to as follows:
 Despite the fact that the cen- tral "" Utopians defeated the Buckingham A. C.'s of Oakville Sunday at Hemingway field the management of the Farmers is try ing to steal the glory away from the "" boys. The Utopians right fully won by a score of 10 to Q. According to the 1892 professional and sandiot baseball rules of America but using the 1882 Oak. vile, Conn. rule book the Bucking- ham A. C.'s also of Oakville, won by a score of 9 to 6. The rules in this book allow runs to count for only the home the town team while the visitors have to score 3 runs in order to get credit for one. DO OtOVthuD BCVGGQ AVhh h6hS sts the seventh inning that the Bucks scorekeeper failed to see and also he failed to record in his book. Clark (Sheriff) Cooke, for the past two years an official scorekeeper in city recreation league kept score for the Utopians and gave them credit for the runs they rightfulIy scored in the seventh inning. If the manager of the Oakville team knows his baseball rules he ought to know that the Utopians won by q forfeit when his team failed to go to bat in the last half of the ninth inning. There is nothing more than another crack at the farmers from Oakville and all points north. The Utopians are willing to play them on q baseball diamond and not a discarded COW pasture in Watcrtown' or Oakvilie where baseball is played with po- tatoes and with two umpires, either of whom Is to be connected with either club. The Bucks are such good sports that they let their as- sistant manager umpire the game last Sunday until the boys from the city found out. The Utopians will play them next Sunday If 1t isn't too much bother for the farmer boys"

STANTON RETURNS ASLEACUE JUMP;
 OPENING SUNDAY

Due to the illness of Al Kellie, q vacancy was created in the ranks of umpires of the City Amateur Baseb League which was quickly filled by the appointment of Bill stanton, a veteran umpire of many seasons. When Nellie let 1t be known last night that he would be unable to oficiate in the league this year, the managers lost no time last night in electing stanton to tho vacant position, move that Is considered c natural on the part of league officers and managers. Stanton was passed up in favor of Bill Cunningham two weeks ago whom umpires for the season were selected, but now he is back In tho fold and everything is rosy.
 Three games are slated for tho opening day, Sunday afternoon, tho Hearts and Tommies meeting at ? o'clock on tho first diamond at Hamilton Park. Tho Prospect Garage and Trlbuncs will hook up at tho same time on tho second diamond, whiio the { o'clock game will feature tho Washington Hills and Brooklyns.

worn in Far Eastern lands. Por-

From Egypt and the East rings
were introduced to Greece, where
they were worn by all free men as
insignia of office or for ornament.
From the Greeks the Romans adopt

were worn more as luxuries, and be-

excess did the Romans carry this
practice that they had summer rings
and winter rings, the former being
heavier and thicker than the latter.

primitive Areas" for Parks

For the benefit of large numbers
of people who crave the back to ma
ture'' type of forest recreation, the
forest service is establishing "primi-
tive areas" in each of the national
forest areas. The idea is to leave
unimpaired unique natural values
and give to the public so inclined an
opportunity to experience conditions
which existed in pioneer phases Of
the nations development. Tourist
parks filled with little cabins, faciI-
tiles for cooking, running water,
showers, etc., are boon for the
travelling, sightseeing public, but
there are thousands who will enjoy,
appreciate and help conserve these
