in part, as follows:
THE endless discussion Of summer
baseball is rendered all the more tire
some because the real point at issue
IS usually missed. 1t is not q matter of
social distinctions. as some newspapers
intimaJe; nor is IL even a question of
tearing down the fence between the
amateur and professional paddOcks-
The real danger is, that if summer
baseball or any form of It should be
allowed il would soon be considered
desirable. Under the pressure Of inter
collegiate competition, members of the
baseball squad would soon come to feel
an implied obligation to devote their
summers to the game in order to in
sure victorious teams. This situation
would be a scandal in itself. and the
cause Of endless dissatisfaction"
