Rabbi Jeschaia Mainion and several

Not Quita

Some earnest bystander seems to
have evolved the thought that we have
given organized ball clean bill of
health.
Nothing like it. Many of the COM
plants issued in the Fed plea to the
Court are true beyond any doubt. o.
b., in spots, has been as full of bones
: as a fish. If o. B. or the National
Commish had lit all spraddled out on
q few such people as C. Murphy and
had them expurgated there would
never have been a Federal League.
Players, undoubtedly, have been un-
derpaid and badly treated in any num-
Der Of cases. Bad rules have been
passed and good rules have been
broken. But in spite of this the ma
Jority of club owners-such people as
Somers, Lannin. Hampstead, Comiskey,
Navin, etc, have in the main been
fair.

Frequently in sport, despite most
theories to the contrary, the more brain
a man carries to the field the less
chance he has to win. For brain alone
is at a big disadvantage against in
stinct, which doesn't have to think

intelligence.
