they speak OF Charlie Dooin's injury.
Frank Chance and Joe Tinker say
they told the Philly leader he would
get II some day IL he didn't change his
style Of blocking men at the plate.
Dooin's baseball religion Is to pre-
vent runners scoring. When catching
he feels II his duty to keep every man
from getting TO the plate by every
fair means and he takes no thought OF
himself in doing so.
With a runner coming from third
and q possible chance to retire him,
Doom sets himself on the baseline in
front OF the plate and stays there until
the runner succeeds In scoring or Is
retired.
More than once the fiery leader has
been cautioned that some day a run.
ner would go through him spikes first
and his reply has always been the
same. III be there when he comes"
The accident to Doom was the re-
suit OF his effort to block Cakes of
the plate. He set himself In the path
Of the fleeing runner, who did go into
him feet first, breaking his leg.
Philadelphia players describing the
accident say that Cakes leg seemed
to be in between Dooin's feet as he
reached for the plate. Doom being
set soffdly for the throw, refused to
give an inch and something had to
break. II was Dooin's leg.
The accident recalls that to big
Larry Mclean, the Cincinnati back
stop. Mclean is the biggest man In
baseball. He was injured as the re.
suit Of collision with Roy Thomas.
Mclean. like Doom, was set In front
OF the plate, his feet spread to brace
him, when Thomas came In standing
up, running full tilt into the gigantic
catcher. Thomas bounded backward
from the collision like q rubber ball
and the players hurried forward, think
Ing he was seriously injured. Instead
II was Mclean who sank to the ground
with broken knee cap. Thomas es.
capped without injury.
Both Of these accidents seem to
bear out the theory advanced by Doom
In this paper some days ago, that the
player who throws himself upon the
other fellow escapes injury, while the
man who sets himself Ia the victim.
