mended in no uncertain terms by all
sport followers, in spite of what hap
pened to-day And. thank God, it did
happen! Forty-four years of baseball

ever that 1t is wonderful game and

than send nine men on the field with one
of them holding dishonest thought
toward clean baseball-the game which
John McGraw and I went around the
