a NENT your editorial on
~ Child labor" Friday, you
offer to your readers the
opportunity to freely and frank
ly discuss all matters affecting
the welfare, progress, ETC., of the
people," In expressing an appre-
citation of your evident desire to
be fair and also your willingness
to have as much light as possible
thrown upon the question dis
cussed, l feel constrained to ac-
cept the offer and contribute my
mite to the controversy.
l differ with you in your state
ment that the laws of Georgia
touching child labor are "outra-
geous and altogether indefen-
sible." While it is true that
Georgia was one among the very
last of the manufacturing States
to put upon the statute books a
law affecting this subject, yet I
challenge anyone to show what

better or more just law.

Detroit, Dec. 2.-"Prize fighting will

governor; boxing conteses which do not
violate the laws Of the State, have no
authority to prevent"
This statement was made by Gov.
Woodbridge N. Ferris in reply to a re-
quest for information on his attitude re-
garding the possibility of reopening box
ing in this city. When the chief execu-
tive was asked for his definition Of
prize fighting and boxing and his dis
tinction between the two, he said:
This is a matter for the attorney gen.
eIal to decide. Personally, do not feel
qualified to distinguish where prize fight
ing stops and boxing begins I shall be
guided by the attorney generals opinion

being violated, / shall call upon the local
authorities to prevent this violation. II
1t is not. / shall not attempt to interfere,
nor could IL 1 wanted to.
Prize fighting. to my mind, is an at
tempt by two professional pugiIists to
infiict such punishment on their respec-
tive opponents that they will be unable to
continue. In other words, the aim Is for
a knockout This involves brutality. and
1t appeals 20 the worst element OF the
public.
Boxing. which Is a test of skill in
which cleverness and all-around science
weigh more than ability to beat another
man into jelly, Is eEtirely different. The
sport of boxing has much to commend Il.
but prize fighting. to my way of thinking,

TEBEAU ORIGINATES
MANY NOVEL IDEAS
Put Scheme Before Public to Have

CT Georges schemes are not practical.
but he has a variety of them Just the
same, and many of them are good. 1t
was Georges scheme to have the A. A.
and International League play an inter-
league series, but II fell through.
The latest to be sprung on the mag
mates by the owner of the lowly and
much downtrodden Blues is TO equalize
the playing strength of the clubs in the
American Association by having players
purchased by a league committee and
distributed among the teams, instead
o. having the team owners buy their
own players.
His idea is to have this committee
buy the players needed by each club
when informed by the owner of a club
what he needs, and then divide this tai
ent by the clubowners drawing lots. For
instance, II two clubs need shortstops,
buy two men and have the two club
owners draw lots.
Tebeau claims this would make the
remnant races far more interesting. as
the clubs would be equal in playing
strength.

GIVE THE BASE RUNNER CREDIT
FOR "CINCINNATI BASE HIT

If somebody must be given credit, Of
some kind, in scoring the play now IA
nous as "the Cincinnati base hit," why
not make that somebody the baserun-
ner, says w. A. Phelon, the well-known
Cincinnati baseball writer. In almost
all cases where the Cincinnati hit"
arouses debate and discussion, the base
runner and not the batsman. is the fel-
low who saved the situation, and, If any
body should be rewarded, he's the one.
Take a scene like this: Man on first; as
he breaks for second the batter hits
vaguely, desperately at the pitch; the
ball bounds right at the pitcher, who
wheels and throws to second, only to
find that the fleeing runner, by a great
burst of speed is already there, while
the relayed throw to first is TOO late to
get the batter. That's fair sample.
Now, then, in such instances as this,
why on earth should the batsman be
credited with a hit for his clumsy eff
fort, when only the agility and nerve
of the baserunner saved force-out,
possibly a double play? If anything,
SO far as justice and equity are con-
cerned, the batter should be penalized
for thump that might have grabbed
everything but for the quickness Of. the
baserunner. The authors Of ''the Cincin-
natl hit maintain that you can't tell
what might have been: you can't say, IT
would have been easy to get the batter
first'-the fact remains that the batter
wasn't caught, and SO it must be a base
hit That argument-at least the might
have been parts destroyed by the mere
fact that the scorer uses his own judg-
ment as to whether many a drive is reg
istered as hit or an error-he doesn't

say it might have been a hit,' but it
WAS a hit'-and il the scorer can use
Judgment there, he can use judgment de-
Gliding plays of the Cincinnati base-hit'
pattern. II real justice were to be
equally done, the scoring rule should read
like this:
'If, with men on one or more bases, a
batted ball Is thrown to second. third, or
home to head of runner, and no put
out results, the play shall be scored as
a base hit II, in the judgment OF the
scorer it would have been impossible for
a throw to first to have retired the bats
man. II the runner upon whom the at
tempted play was made had started to
steal, and was safe through such at
tempted steal, the play being one upon
which the batsman might have been re-
tired at first, he shall be credited with
a stolen base, land the batsman with a
time at bat"
Wouldn't such scoring be far more
just and equitable?
