Sports and Such
TO SETTLE AN ARGUMENT"

~ SE ' - NV NF1S ~ w EN
An earnest party wants 70 know if
the educated or college ball player
is more useful on the diamond
than the boy who picked up his
baseball around the sand lots.
This query may be deftly side
stepped by taking the position
that it doesn't make any difference
where a bail player learns TO play
baseball so long as he learns.
But such lodges are unworthy.
What the correspondent wants to
know is whether education Is
likely to give a man the bulge on
the uneduCated player, and the
answer is Not so that you can
notice II.
Education in any direction is
useful only in the exact ratio of its
application. Thus, 1t is easy to
see that a profound knowledge Of
the effect OF the political clubs on
the life Of the Athenian republic
is not going to help a man decide
in a tenth of a second where to
throw the ball when he has nailed
a line drive and three men are
running in three different direc-
tions.
GIVEN A CERTAIN FAIR PRO-
portion OF intelligence and adept
ness in baseball is a matter Of
practice. Men who think quickly
on the ball field have been used
to thinking quickly from infancy as
a rule, and in sudden crises their
minds from long habit work auto
matically and correctly. The time
is usually too short for conscious
thought
IN THE MECHANICAL science
of the game the same is true.
The college professors began eX-
planning the spit-ball a long time
after C-esbrO and his followers had
stood the American League on its
head ChesbTo didn't know any
more about the physics of the spit
ball than he knew about the infiu-
ence of the MediCi on the Renais-
sanCe, but no college professor
could tell him anything about
throwing one Radbourne was curry
ing a baseball at a time when some
scientists were holding that the
feat was impossible.
John Ward, a real college man
and q great ball player, invented
the trick or IeIL-ldNutu DdIlluB 10
shorten the run to first base, and
his trained mind probably had
something to do with that, for 1t
was constructive thought. On the
other hand. Buck Ewing. ignorant
as dirt, was even a greater base
ball man than Ward and infinitely
his superior as an executive.
Much of the inside baseball Of
to-day was fathered by "Ten-Thou-
sand Dollar" Kelly, who is cOnsid-
cred one Of the swiftest thinkers
that ever played the game, vet
Kelly had to have help with the
menu card when he broke into the
league.
Harry Dunlap. the king Of sec
ond basemen," was almost entirely
without education, but his skill in
working out the trapped ball trick
is the chief reason that We now
have the infield fly rule.
Dunlap was so ignorant that he
had to make a mark to his con-
tract in lieu Of a signature, but so
shrewd was his business mind that
he got a $4,000 figure into the same
contract, more than 80 per cent
Of the ball players to-day are draw

mental attachments who once stole

worked for Murrieta were unique in that the
