for misplay. There are some such
men playing the game, you know.
though one of that kind Is never q
high-class performer.
1T wouldn't take long for those who
are watching the batting averages
closely to figure out the difference this
change would make in the hitting of a
player. And, say. why should bat
ter be penalized by having hit taken
away from him when he manages to
hit the ball in such a way that an in
fielder muses. it up? Rather, l think,
to do justice on all sides, base hit
should be credited.
mo one who follows baseball close
ly ever thinks of judging players
ability in the field by the official field
ing averages. We all know we'll that
good player goes after everything
within reach, never fearing a possible
error through tumble or bad throw
to first. He is there to tr"' to make
the play. to get everything he can get
| his hands on, and If he shirks because
, he is afraid of that error, then he
isn't going to get lots of balls that he
might have handled clearly and gone
through with for a put-out. The pres
ent fielding averages are practically
worthless, for it is almost always that
the best players have the lowest per-
centage, while those who don't or
can't cover much ground get away
with the fewest errors and, therefore
are at the top in the averages. Hence
in picking young ball players, scouts
judge by what they see them do, not
by what they read in the fielding av
erages.
Il believe that such change in the
scoring rules would make good ball
players of some of the poorer ones
and that it would make still better
performers of the best of them. Tc
me it looks as though it would be 9
step in the right direction, keeping
pace with the rapid advances now be
ing made in baseball. No one would
be hurt, while both batsmen and field
ers would be benefited.
Il would like to see the Baseball

Cut out the error column.

Cut out the error column.
This is the suggestion of Fred Ten
ney, famous first baseman, once man.
ager OF the Boston National league
club and now with the New York
Giants,
BY the elimination of this column IN
the tabulated score, with the exception
OF wild throws on which base runners
advance an extra base, this veteran
believes than another step forward
would be made. His idea, when care
fully considered. presents conditions
that are worthy of thought.
How many times are batters rob-
bed Of what are almost sure base
hits?" says Tenney. This is especial
ly true in line drives to the infielders
No great credit is due the infielder for
getting these balls, as a rule, for they
are shot straight at him. OF course,
there are exceptions, as there are to
almost everything, but that is the rule
AS matter of fact the batsman is al
most entitled to a hit. Surely he hit
the pitcher hard enough to get one
but the luck of the game, that cuts
such an important figure in baseball
happens in that instance t. be against
him.
so figure that if the error column
so far as fumbled balls or bcd throws
to a baseman are concerned, was elm
mated, making everything hit. il
would only just about even up fol
those infeld line drives that the bat
ter loses because the intielder happens
to be right in front of lard-hit bal
driven straight into his hands
Naturally the scoring of fielder's
choice would remain just as it is to
day, for the batsman is not entitled
to hit where the infielder makes the
play on some other base-runner wher
the batsman could have been thrown
out at first. Again, there must be some
way of scoring extra bases taken by ;
runner on a bad throw. For that
would leave the error column in the
box score, but it would represent wilt
throws, not fumbled balls, or a bat
throw to first on batted ball.
This would naturally make SOM
difference in the batting and fielding
averages of the players, but ! don
think it would boost any batsman yer.
much. while it would take away tina
