But the people who are watching the game must
observe a certain good conduct, if they wish to be considered entirely
cultured. For instance, even though the game becomes very exciting, it
is bad form to stand up on the seats and shout words of encouragement to
the players. Yet how many, who claim to be entirely well-bred, do this
very thing!
Of course it is permissible to cheer; but it must be remembered that
there are correct and incorrect ways of cheering. Noise is noise even in
the grandstand, and your loud cheering is very likely to annoy the people
around you. A brief hand-clapping is sufficient applause for a good play
or even for a victory. It is not necessary to be boisterous. And this
holds true of the game of baseball also, when loud cheering serves only
to create confusion and disorder.
The well-mannered person is known by his or her calm conduct and gentle
manners whether it be in the ballroom or at the football game.
