Why Mon Love Baseball.
Lee shippey. In nudge.

0F 80 NO
Baseball is the most dangerous game
known to history. When 1t comes to NOR
taiity lists. baseball leaves football a lap
oehind in a 6-furlong race on a mile track.
Statisticians have figured it out that It Is
40 times as destructive to human life as a
Mexican revolution, and almost as deadly
as Mexican chile; Annually it kills off SO
many aunts. uncles and grandparents that
thinking people wonder how the under
takers can stand the steady work. For
example, IN the course Of one thrilling
yrandmothers.
For all that. we owe baseball. Even in
spite of the grandstand humorists, we
that, since this country was to give us
baseball. our revolutionary sires did not
bleed and die in vain.
Men have much reason to love baseball.
It gives them the chance to admire skill,
speed. strength, nerve, courage and de-
termination. and to learn the latest slang
he chance to boldly abuse and insult 9th
er men without fear of consequences and
% exhibit their wit before large crowds.
t sr gives .d them bot the ao change to set up real
men are corrupt, generals fight from their
;ents, literary lions are pale. weak bodies.
But baseball heroes are real heroes. And
t-baSeball-alSo gives men the opportun-
ty to be rs loud and silly and joyously
lnoppressed as they want to be, without
being laughed at.
Young women like baseball, too, and
tome of them understand it remarkably
we'll. Some of them are said to know the
difference between the pitcher and the
umpire. There Is a legend that once there
was a young woman who could watch
a whole game without asking: What
are they doing now?' and tell which side
won at the end. But that is believed to
AVE been written by Grimm. Young
women do not care SO much for baseball
If they have to buy their own tickets. But
II you suggest taking one, she just dotes
on the game. A woman always gets some
enjoyment out of seeing her escort spend
money for her, no matter what 1t is for.
1t is not always wise to take a young
woman to the ball game, no matter how
she dotes on it. She may not notice the
difference when they stop batting up flies
and begin the game. She may think the
pitcher and catcher are playing against
each other, and complain because one of
them does not quit and give that cute
fellow with such a jaunty air a turn. She
may mistake the catcher's breast pro-
tector for a porous plaster. But she will
notice. with an eyer-growing admiration,
the grace. sureness and swiftness CT the
we'll conditioned men on the field. After
which she is likely to size you up and
decide you won't do.
A lot of fine points about health, hap
ptness and success might be gained from,
paseball-if most OF us weren't SO good at
nufting them.
