AS rule the player-writers were well
taken care OF. and the stories were really
interesting, for the reason that expert
enced newspapermen were assigned these
jobs. but the public believed all alons
tnat ball players themselves actually tool,
pen in hand and wrote the pieces for the
papers.
The newspapers themselves regarded
these feature articles as good invest
ments, for the reason that the stories
were syndicated to twenty-five or more
outside publications and the revenue de-
rived not only paid the amount guaran-
teed the baseball player for the use Of
his name, but left handsome profit.
1t was understood that the national
commission would be asked to take steps
toward checking this growing practice Of
players signing their names to articles
they did not write, but thus far moth
ing has apparently been done.
without committing any breach Of
etiquette it would seem to
