NEW DANGER IN SUMMER BALL.
Harvard Man Fears Players viii
Feel Compelled to Enter Game.

4 somewhat novel view of summer
baseball for college players is that
taken by a Harvard alumnus. In a
recent letter he writes:
THE endless discussion of summer
baseball is rendered all the more tire
some because the real points at issue
are usually missed II is not a matter
of social distinctions. as some news
papers intimate: nor is 1t even a ques-
tion of tearing down the fence between
the amateur and professional paddocks.
The real danger is that If summer
baseball or any form OF ii should be
allowed it would soon be considered
desirable.
Under the pressure Of intercollegi-
ate competition members of the base
ball squad would soon come to feel an
implied obligation to devote their sum-
mers to the game in order to insure
victorious teams. This situation would
be a scandal in itself, and the cause
of endless dissatisfaction"
