At a late match game in Brooklyn, a very pleasing feature of the occasion was the commendably demonstrative conduct of Mr. Mark King, a sick member of the Chicago nine, who having been accorded a place on the reporters’ stand, edified the occupants by considerable “chin music” and lively conversation generally, encouraging his companions by such sentences as “You’re ketchin’ like h--l, Charlie; Go in tom, give it to ‘em; lick ‘em to h--l, old boy; smash her, Pinkey; bust the kiver off her, Jimmey,” etc. Mr. King probably forgot that he was in the company of gentlemen, but possibly from lack of contact therewith he was unable to discriminate.
