Mr.' Gerrish was known as the oldest

accident insurance agent in Chicago.

He was ' associated 'with the firm of

been figuring risks and premiums

this city. 4 ' "Mr. Gerrish had a prosperous business and his family life was ideal." said Charles H. Ellredge, manager of the casualty agjne)', last night.

spectators. President McAleer instructed Secretary C. E. Fowler to -notify all

umpires that the next evidence of foul play on the part of Capt, Fowler, he

was to be put out of tbe game and

suspended for the balance of the season.

President McAleer had Captain Fowler on the carpet Saturday night at a special meeting called by him in the morning, to consider protested games, fines, and "dirty ball." He advifed the - Hammond player that his tactics were not relished by the league and warned him not to resort to any "rough-neck" methods in future. Hi warning had little effect however, judging by yesterday's performance, and the president is now determined to use more drastic methods in enforcing his demand for clean ball.

The plays : that were .called Into question yesterday . were one in the seventh innlwg when Fow'er shouldered Hascall. one of the East Chicago players,-throwing him several feet, and another in the eighth inning, when he smashed Beach with a ball, staggering him. The fact tifat there was not even tho' excuse of East Chicago having the advantage of Hammond at the time the questionable plays were made, makes them all the more inexcusable in the even of President McAleer. Hammond was ahead, and the victims of both the rowdy attacks, were plainly out when Fowler visited his unsportsmanlike methods upon them. The situation was not critical and there was not even the excuse of misdirected ardor to win the game, to atone for the foul plays. It looked to the spectators like

in! a ruthjess desire on the part of the

player to bully. Physically this Is a comparatively ' safe proposition - for Fowler as he is a man of unusual size and strength. In speaking of the situation yesterday President McAleer said "One dirty player can be the means of demoralizing the entire league. The rest of the men will not stand for it. They will naturally try to retaliate and I do not propose to have this little league, which has been started under particularly favorable circumstances, handicapped by any roughneck tactics. "This league has had splendid advertising both by the local press and by the press of Chicago. It is in a fair way to becoming a recognized factor In the minor leagues. It would be too bad to have it discredited because one player chooses to employ tactics which are intolerable to true sportsmen." President McAIeer's forceful methods in nipping In the bud the , practice of betting at the ball games, hns received the applause of all interested in clean ball. It is epected that his present dictum regarding dirty plays , . will be equally effective.

- It was a bad move when A. John Bobinson got into a quarrel with Mrs. Andrew Stephens in a ' basement restaurant 1n the Minnesota building

yesterday afternoon. Robinson is now minus his left optic which was punched

out with an iron bar by his female adversary. Boh of the principals in the affair are colored. Robinson wa3 remoVed to the Mercy hospital where it is said that he will recover.
