In your baseball items on Wednesday

that base for home. This is a mistake.
and as you have quoted from some one
else. and as you are generally accurate
in your baseball statements will YOU
correct the item by saying that Hines
did catch the bah which fen so far out
that the short stop could not get it, and
nine people out Of ten thought it safe
and ran TO third, then wheeling, ran to
second, beating the player who was al

II have been trying to play ball for all

Should my temper get the better of me-
the only thing left will be to abandon the

they want their employees TO put up for
their money, and / have this in mind
One thing is certain, though. in a year or
two there will be an organization of play
ers to protect their own interests It's
bound to come.
THE trouble brought about last year
was largely the fault of spectators
prejudiced against visiting players and
the newspaper writers who exaggerated
every scene and reported words and ac-
tions which the writers made out of the
whole cloth. No one has exploited the
players side Of the matter or how the
umpire gOads the player on to fury. As
truly as l live, the umpire is as much to
blame and has used as much foul Ian
guage as any player who ever walked.
A man is at his mercy. If the slightest
word in question is said, no matter how
gentlemanly the language or manner.
that official will often make an insulting
remark in return that rouses the first
symptom of anger. Then it is give and
take.
In my opinion. it would be well for
the baseball owners, who know only of
the practical happenings in a game
what their imagination from a distance
and the inventive powers 70 the report
ers tell them-it would be well for them
to find out something about their UNI
