The baseball strike" is over, pend
ing the formal hearing of the charges
against the player on whose account it
was instituted. and a unique situation
in the history of the national game is
thus brought to an end. But the condi-
lions responsible for the extraordinary
incident which provoked it remain to
be reformed in an abuse is not to be
condoned which has become a serious
blemish on professional baseball. The
license of the bleachers. under which
it has been permissible for spectators
to make any kind of remark about the
players. attained a climax Of offensive
ness in the vituperation SO vigorously
resented by 'Ty' Cobb and it should
be sharply curbed for the good repu-
tation of the game.
If a man in theater audience in
suited an actor on the stage with OBJ
scene language, he would be imme-
diately rejected. Yet freedom of
speech not tolerated in any other as
semblage has grown up unchecked al
ball games until it has passed the
bounds of decency. If the boisterous
comment OF the bleachers were re-
stricted to "boing" or to legitimate
criticism of the players, it might be
NOR of the crowd. though foreign
critics have expressed their Amusement
at the practice. But the remarks
which the Detroit player resented were
not criticism. They were personal
abuse of an aggravated kind which any
man in any place would resent with
equal force. It was not an unprOvOked
attack Of a ball-p player on a spectator
but an attack made under extreme
provocation. and whatever may be said
of the breach of restraint on the play
er's part, that he was "disciplined"
without full hearing was in the cir
cumstances calculated 10 excite the
sympathy of his fellow play erS.
For the conditions of bad behavior
in the bleachers which resulted in this
unbecoming exhibition the manag gers
have themselves to blame. They have
sanctioned a 1axity of conduct which
: against the best interests OF the
game, and quite apart from any ques-
ton of the propriety Of the players
action. the event should impress on
them the necessity Of safeguarding
baseball against a development that
can only prejudice its standing as
clean sport-New York World.
