~ PROFESSIONAL basebalfs chlet
~ asset is a firm public belief in
- it's honesty in the intent to win
The recent outburst of popular indlg-
nation against certain members OF the
St. Louis American league team
charged with deliberately Sinking in
order to allow Larry Lajoie of Cleve-
land. to make hits and thereby beat
out Ty Cobb of Detroit for the auto
mobile to be awarded the champion
batter of the year. was an evidence
of how strongly the public cherishes
the honesty of the national past1me.
When such cases as that alleged TO
have arisen in st. Louis are published,
thew attract attention all over the
country, even when they take place IN
the smallest of minor leagues.
Professional Players Honest.
Professional baseball has been pc
culiarly free from suspicion that the
players were not on the field to win.
Players have been convicted Of every
offense from profanity to man
slaughter as a result of desperate at
tempts to win at any cost, and it was
this motive which made the fans re-
gard them leniently. Deliberate efforts
to throw games are almost unknown
About 80 years ago four men were ex-
p6l6Q from professional OdSoOd11 AOi
life for this crime against honesty, and
since then nothing of the sort has been
proved in any of the larger leagues.
Baseball differs markedly in this re-
spect from wrestling, foot-racing and
professional sculling, all of which have
lost their vogue because of agreements
on the part of one contender to lose,
and it stands UNNECESSARILY above
boxing and horse racing, in which
pulling or quitting have been proved
many times.
The intensity of the winning idea in
baseball was perfectly demonstrated by
the case of DR.. Mike" Powers, the
wonderfully popular catcher of the
Philadelphia Athletics last year. He
was stricken by a complication Of in
testinal troubles toward the end of
game and must have suffered hor-
ribly, but said nothing about it and
He was scarcely in the clubhouse be-
fore he was Frustrated by agony so
intense that hypodermics brought no
relief He was hurried TO hospital
and died in few hours
Similar examples, but without such
fatal consequences, are by no means
rare. Harry Bemis, the Cleveland
catcher who has been relegated to the
minors this season, was i'll and badly
cut up but continued in the game when
Cleveland was thought to have a
chance for the pennant. Bob Unglaub
the Washington first baseman, played
