As a Game

Baseball Is too great game to be
crushed. It has given health, recrea-
ton, amusement and abiding pleasure
TO too many millions to be thrown into
the dump.
It is the greatest sport ever built up,
for 1t carries every element of all fine
games-exercise, quick action, courage.
skill, quick thought, careful training,
intense interest. And it is American
in every detail.
What could be the use in a country
building up gamc OF its own of such
merit, and then tearing this game
down?

One might just as we'll say that our
court system should be dissolved or
removed because we have murderers
1uries right along; or because we have
corrupt or mole-souled Judges who fine
grave offenders as high as s3.7b, and
then send minor offenders up for three
years at hard labor.
In matters of this sort the thing to
be attacked is the Individual offender,
not the system-if the system, happens
to be the best one that limited human
intelligence can devise.

The Baseball Situation

Baseball. as conducted, has its seri-
aus faults, but these faults are not
nearly as bad as many have painted
them. They are faults that should be
corrected, but not at the expense of
the entire game,
If every institution teeming with GER
tain faults was to be dissolved, this
terrestrial orbit would soon be desert,
IS the esteemed human race would be
the first thing to be wiped out.
