AT THE BR ALL LEAGUE GAMES HERE THIS SEASON. The Fans Are Not As Neisy As In Previous Years--The Attendances Not As Large--Next Satumday's Games, What is the matter with the base- ball fans in Kingston now? Any one who has attended one of the baseball matches this season has marked a great change. Rarely is there any excitement in the crowd. The most startling plays can be pulled off and but for a sort of desultory applause amongst a few of the more lively fans one would think that every one was asleep Last Saturday there was a very fine game played at the | Cricket Field, and in spite of some | whirlwind plays there was lit¥le or no excitement, This lack of enthu- siasm on the part of the audience must be disheartening to the players who are giving their time for the en- joyment of the people. Several vears| ago when the baseball grounds were | filled to overflowing one would think | the fans really enjoved the games, | but at the present time one doesn't) know what to make of it The ma- terial in the leagues is as good as in| most amateur leagues in Canada, and the players deserve support on the part of the citizens | The collections that are taken up | at the games are what they should be for the crowds that turn| out A good baseball league cannot | be run on good will or anything else | but hard cash Every a baseball game on Saturday noon a game that least twenty-five cents for the noon's enjovment At th games there is a conspicuous absence of ladies, who are supposed in the States to be among the most ardent | not who sees after worth one \ at | after year's sees is fans and devotees of the sport At next Saturday's games all the fans | are expected out to good cle 30 al | games Dall Carriages $1.50 to $7.50 4, | R.
