And it cer- tainly is not like the unusually clean sportmanship-like Ranger outfit, The Rangers boys heretofore have | Proved that thgy can be good winners on the baseball diamond, football gridiron and basketbail court—and they also have proved that they can good losers too. So thuir action t night does seem strange. Before passing snap them, it would be well to hear both sides of the argument. i However, it does not help matters any for a team to quit just hecause they are dissatisfied with a decision— especially scorebook.
