a«f * THE FORUM I Last Sunday, for no particular reason and from ao special urge, I drove out to the ball grounds. H aring no k ith nor kin on the team and not haring witnessed a baseball game for more years than I should like to confess to, I had. no particular Internet ip the playing sure that the home team must win, of course. RBFLKCnOXS OF A In consequence,' my attention SPECTATOR AT A SUNDAY was divided between players and BASEBALL GAME fans. I took ample opportunity to atudy my co-partners in distress By Mrs. Chips on the hard bleacher' seats. I Ottr small elty has been con­ fronted, recently, w ith the mom­ entous question of Bunday base­ ball. Its citizenry became divided into two earnest factions — tho ayes and the noes. As they so of­ ten are,, the noes of the communi­ ty were victorious and the peace­ fu l little city a t the foot of the Slskiyofis has not had Its Sunday afternoon tranquility disturbed by the blatancy of Itaseball. But enthusiastic youth was n it to be denied. I t evolved a way of getting around this problem just as it seems to be able to get around so many modern problems. I t turned defeat into victory by the simple means of renting some­ body’s potato patch Just a bit outside the city limits and turn­ ing it into a very creditable sem­ blance to a baseball field. I t as­ sembled some w illing aspirants, 'uniformed them, gave them'some necessary paraphernalia and want to the bat, so to speak. Ia a few weeks there was ready a fa irly smooth diamond, some brand new bleachers, an . enthusiastic team in working order and— what was needed most of all— plenty of moral support. The team joined a league composed of the nines from neighboring towns The magai,ne. should be The R igh t Breakfast 'or Workers Have a fish dinner tonight!

Baseball bleachers must have some power to arouse prim itive desires. The natural tendencies of the children delight­ ed In the swift action of the play­ ers, of soda-pop and bags of peanuts and popcorn. A dult in­ clinations reacted boisterously to th« spirit of competition and riv­ a lry ,, A ll conventionality was laid aside. Everybody, o r nearly everybody, shouted; they called they yelled, they flung weird epi­ thets at the rival nine; they b u ri­ ed caustic vlturbations-at the em­ pires. Oum chewers and tobac­ co chewers all became rag chew­ ers. Yet a ll the wrangling was given and taken in a spirit of good natured tolerance. I perceived that a baseball crowd is assuredly the least sensitive crowd on earth. I t must be. W ere any resent­ ments shown or exceptions taken which m ight lead to fistic disord­ ers, the disturbers would prompt­ ly be quelled, officially, and be shown the gate with money re­ funded— perhaps. W ith the ex-; ception of Its rauclty and its live-' ly dissonances, a baseball game is a most orderly place.
