BEAN BALL" BASIS OF TROUBLE
Red Sox Charged with Attempting to
Brighten Players.

When Clarke Griffith was hit ii the
face by "Sam' Agnew at Washing
ton Friday, the manager of the Sena
tors then and there became a martyr
to cause that for three years has
been what many think q disgrace to
Boston baseball if not to the entire
American league. On the face Of it the
riotous happenings OF Washington,
started by Carl Mays, who hit George
Mcbride with a pitched ball, and
ended by interference of police, would
seem to be only one of the many in
cidents of the national pastime where
in players under stress of excitement
lose control of temper and forget sur
roundings. But such is not the case.
Among the players there is a strong
conviction that Boston Red Sox
pitchers have been Intentionally using
"bean ball" with the purpose of
frightening opposing batters. Hubert
Leonard is said to have proudly
boasted of 'dusting off, such men as
"'Ty' Cobb and like stars. On many
occasions batters have only been kept
| out of a fist fight with Leonard by
prompt interference of cooler heads.
| New York - fans will remember a
recent incident at the Polo ground
when Leslie Nunamaker threw a bat
at Leonard, and did it because Leon.
ard Just missed hitting Nunamaker on
the head with a pitched ball.
"For three years now Boston pitch
ers have been trying to kill t1e
other players of the league says
Griffith. d" Maybe this is too strongly
put, but surely they have driven the
opposing players away from the plate
by unfair tactics. There is nothing
sportsmanlike in seeing how close one
can come to hitting batter just Il
brighten that batter.
