Whatever the reasons for this anti- climax to a game which gave every promise of being one of the few great ones of the season, the public express- ed their views on the matter in no uncertain manner. Long before the game finished, baseball fans were con- spicuous by their absence. The farce-- taking place on the field was too much, for the most ardent, Only unfortunates in the stand at the finish were three individuals, who were reporting the match and thus being paid to watch!

For this reason if for no other, action of some sort is demanded. Ad- ́mittedly the Baseball League is in rather a weak position with regard to the control of clubs but I feel that they should adopt a very strong at- titude with regard to South China. -
Baseball teams are not particularly plentiful here and one can well ap- preciate the desire of the League of ficials to keep all the teams they can functioning.
It will be a very short-sighted policy on their part, however, if this Incident is overlooked. Apart from the fact that the League have their own umpires. to stand-by South China must. be made to realise that there are cer- tain ethics to be observed and whilst appreciating their desire to keep their contemporaries in the running, they should remember that they also have a responsibility to the public, who pay to see these games and are entitled to be served up with some value for their money.
