Me: "how do you know"?
Coach: "he's spitting brown"
Me: "I chew on slim Jim's out here and I spit brown".(I don't even know if I can do that now based on the rule)(is slim Jim's tobacco-like product?). "I don't want to falsely accuse anyone here coach but I'll look into it".

The next half 1st baseman comes out and I strike up a conversation with him to get him talking. I ask him "what's in your mouth"? He says, "nothing". I reminded him as well as his coach that tobacco use is grounds for automatic ejection.

What else could, should I have done here?
Stop spitting Slim Jim would be the first thing I would do.

I've had to tell exactly one player if he wasn't dipping, swallow it. Got it taken care of with a good warning to coach and player.
