ERRORS LAID TO WRONG MEN
Muffs by Third Basennan Often Blamed
on Man Throwing BaII-One
Instance Cited.

To a man in the press box it seems
there is too much of a disposition to
give wild throws to players on almost
anything that another player fails to
hold, says Detroit Free Press.
Take third baseman for instance.
He is supposed to stop hard grounders
and If he doesn't he will be charged
with an error. Yet very often when a
catcher or an outfielder hurls the ball
to the third baseman and it gets away
from him and the throw is not square
ly in his glove, the error is charged to
the man throwing the ball when as a
matter of fact the third baseman
should be penalized with muff.
1t is too often taken for granted that
throw is bad because a baseman
doesn't hold it. The Pills once had
the greatest booting third baseman in
the world. He was spike shy and
afraid to put the ball on the runner.
Cravath and Paskert would whip hard
accurate throws straight to the third
baseman, who would deliberately get
out of the way, make feeble stab,
perhaps bat the ball down little, and
the outfelder would get an error that
he didn't deserve. When this player
was sent elsewhere, the fielding aver
ages of Cravath and Paskert leaped
forward.

THIS OLD TIMER WOULD PRAY
Mickey WEIGH, Once Famous Pitcher
With Giants, Relied on Religion
in Tight Pinches.

Veteran fans will recall that famous.
old-time New York Giant pitcher by
the name Of Michael Mickey WEIGH.
The New York roster shows that he
twirled for that noted club from the
years 1883 to 1892, inclusive.
WEIGH was religious man. We
have this on the word of a man who
caught him on club in New York
state before Mickey reached the big
brush. Here's the way this catcher.
whose name is Wilson, tells of his ex-
perience with WEIGH:
.We'd be in a tight hole" says this
former catcher, "and I'd see Mickey's
lips move I'd Immediately set myself
for the shock, because | knew he was
going to send across the swiftest he
had in his collection. And when say
swift mean one that would take Il
fellow off his pins If he wasn't ready.

tight place.

The fat wartime contracts will be
visible no more. Valiant athletes who
drew from $4,000 to $4,000 while their
clubs lost heavy money will be offered
from $500 to $4,000 If there is any
preference in awarding the big money,
it will be shown to men returning from
the war, as it is felt that they could
not help their departure, and gave up
large incomes cheerfully to serve the
nation.

managers. etc, will DC lost to view
Baseball will simply start in again
and will try ito rebuild it's shattered
fortunes along sane and economic
lines. This comes unoficially, but
none the less correctly, through the

Cation, who was obtained from the Bir-

the 1917 National league campaign, is
perhaps the smallest player in the ma

has prevailed for some little time past"
The very last thing that America can
afford to do in this national crisis is
to place the burden of the war upon
her children, who are her future citi-
zens and upon whom she depends for
the health and prosperity of the ma
tion. The war must be fought and the
work at home must be done-but at ali
costs not done by the children. The
experience of other nations has taught
US that.
The Federal law did not deprive the
states of any power to regulate con-
ditions of labor in factories whose
products were consumed within their
own boundaries, but claimed that all
interstate shipments should be con-
trolled by the Federal government If
children were employed in their manu-
facture. The. few months during which
the national law has been in operation
have brought out some of the advan-
tages of a uniform law in very
marked way. The law was designed not
only to protect the child, but to protect
also the American manufacturer; with
a uniform law for all the states an
employer of child labor may no longer
underbid another manufacturer at the
expense of the children. 1t was de-
