There are too many pitchers in the big leagues who
have habit of busting EN- off " and getting away with
a. This practice is becoming entirely too popular, and
of throwing the ball the batter head to drive
him away from the plate and make the pitchers work
easier for him.
KNOCK him down IL the batter is dangerous is a
saying in the big leagues Star batters have to
drop quickly the ground couple of times in each
game avoid being hit. The pitchers consider it
good joke, but the death of Ray Chapman has changed
this.
Four years ago there riot up in Boston day
when the Red Sox fighting Detroit for the pennant
Mays pitching, three base and Ty Cobb
at bat. The three and two the Georgian
and Mays let go, hitting Tyrus the Ty
threw his bat the pitcher fight started and the police
had restore order
Frank Baker has thrown his bat at Mays and other
American League baters have done the thing They
objected to being hit by pitched balls.
1t is said that a certain pitcher in the American
League brags about his ability at knocking
at the plate If such is the he should be warned and
IL that doesn't do any good, drive him of baseball.
-s The death of Chapman will make the pitchers
careful in the future He the first big league player
to be killed in that and sincerely hope will
be the last. Frank Chance, when he was playing with
the Chicago Cubs, "beaned' thirty seven times by
actual count and several times had to be carried off the
field Les Mann also is target, but never has been
seriously hurt. Iris Speaker, Eddie Collins Joe
Jackson have taken count only reason Babe
Ruth hasn't had bounced off his head is because of
his ability to dodge.

practice and penalty is serer6 for the
offenders. # pitcher tries to hit a batter
