It ik not too early to put in the flr*t plea of the sennon for
an entire elimination of “rowdy linll”—and especially that
S art which is technically known ns “ umpire’baiting”—from the
oiithcm Isuatcun Kmues this year.
In fact such apWu will probably look lens like knocking
now than it will later. Though the writer will tt«l agree that
this shall he hLs last utterance on this suhject. lie is quite like

Generally speaking there is little eause for ctmiplaint in the
Southern League these'daya. A higher class of managers and a
higher.idnss of hall players have come and with them more re
spectable - baseball.
And it ean lie said with due pride'that the Atlanta team was
laat year, and has usually-been in the past, one of the beat be
haved if not the very best behaved in the league. Now and then
last season otir “steamed contempts”nround the eireuit used to
toueh up the Atlanta team and rail its members a lot of “row
dies”—but tlint was generally when-Atlanta was winning ami
could ■ he ascribed to jealousy mid poor losing more than to any
thing else.
The writer followed the team, through one .Western trip and
he is quite positive I lint the Atlanta team was always ns well be-
■ hnved ns its opponents—ami usually better.
Wrangling with the umpire, however—just ordinary argu
ing, without iimeh profanity and with less hard feeling—wag
rather too prevalent Inst year. •
If there is one thing which Imres the public it is a pro
tracted debate between the players and “His l.’mps." Generally
the fans do not know what it is alum! and'if they do they don't
care especially mid would much rather see the game go on than
listen to any oratorical efforts—by Imll players—who are usual
ly quite poor in flint direction—though we except Harry Vaughn,
who was cut out for an orator and is only in baseball preliminary
to being elected to the senate.
A team which makes il a continual point to squabble .with
the umpires docs not have any advantage over a team which takes
the decisions as they come and lets it go at that.
Umpires us n rule Imve at least average huiiinn intelligence
and those who last over a week are practically"tuibluffable.”
The best way n> get along with an umpire is to let him alone
and in the natural course of events he will give you a square deal.
Take these sernppi players who always have n few words
ready to hand to the umpire. Their days of usefulness pass
more rapidly than those of the mini who accepts the decisions as
they come. The league is letting a fe wof them go this year—
Kvaits of Shreveport. Ihihniutoii of Nashville. Matthews of Mir-
minghnm—good players all of them, hut a hit too strenuous with
the umpires And there are a few more in the league who will
net theirs in title course of tiiue At/, of New Orleans for one.
Gritflius of Shreveport for another, and some more who might
he mentioned—but wlmt ‘a the use?
"Umpire baiting" is a passing vice—mid the thing’whieh put
the tag” on it and proposed its name for the Down and Out
Club was the fact tluil the public will nof stand for it.
The fan is the man who puts up the money and in the long
run he is going to.gel what he wants.
