The Self-Righteous Minority.
fst. Louis Post-pispatch.l


There can be little doubt that had
Rev. John FL. Williamson, Chicago's
official moral censor, been in Sodom
when Abraham was pleading that it
be spared if even 10 righteous persons
we're found in it, that wicked town
might be saved. And for it's own
sake, Chicago should not be too hard
on DR.. williamson and his few sup
porters. Their presence may be of
more value than any number of in
surance policies.
1t is too bad that citizens of Chicago
refused to accept DIR. Willliamson's
invitation to fill out and swear to the
affidavits his organization sent out,
telling of the misdeeds of their neigh
bors. Who knows how many re-
| form invented sins, not covered by
! the 10 commandments nor any other
basic moral code, might have been
exposed. And how much self salts
faction the holier- than thou joy ill
ers could have gotten out of d big
bunch of snoop reports such as their
champion sought.
Since the demotion of Police Com
missioner Miller, St. Louis has been
without an honest goodness "vice''
hunter and professional Jonah. Why
not invite DR.. Williamson?

There is no question that tennis is
the most universally played game,
because the result OF this struggle

1t marked a new era in sport. The

set him right, and helped him out
Of a hole.
1t is true that the Pirate lineup
Is not made up altogether Of first
class players. There are positions
being filled by men who are hardly
OF major league caliber. And 1t is
also. true that fandom placed too
high as estimate upon some Of the
talent.
Even considering all that, how
ever, the results which have been
obtained have not been as good as
they might have been, had there
been a feeling Of helpfulness, a de-
sire on the part of every man on
the squad to do something for the
other fellow as we'll as for himself,
and to subordinate his own interests
at all times to those Of the club
as a whole.
AS intimated above, the forego-
ing statements will doubtless be
denied by club officials, but they
are true, just the same. 1t is a
difficult matter to get a ball ,>layer
to talk about his team, for he never
knows what the result will be. II
all the members of the Pittsburgh
team would tell what they know
about internal conditions on the
club, many of the fans would he
astounded, but there would be little
surprise thereafter at the fate of
the club, regardless Of what it may
turn out to be.
The players are a good bit like
Gibson. They will not talk. Glib
son went his way, probably feeling
that he had never had a real chance
to show what he could do, and
some of the players are going along,
disgusted with conditions, more than
one of them hoping for the day
when he can get into other sur
roundings.
It Is going to take n stern
hand to bring order out OF the
chaos that exists ut present.
Whether Bill McKechnie Is the
man to accomplish the transition
remains to be seen. Bill knows
baseball, but he can't get very
far here unless he has the iron
will, backed up by the unequivo-
cal support OF the clubowners, to
get rid Of a certain element which
was partly wiped out last winter,
but which is not yet all gone.
It IL going to take drastic meas.

It will require not only the acquisi.

Kechnie will make mistakes. Every
manager does. But no manager ID
entirely to blame for everything
that takes place on a ball club.
Players who violate their contracts
in letter and in spirit are largely
responsible for managerial troubles
1t Is not always possible to get rid
OF these trouble makers at once
but they must be let out before the
club can rise to real heights.
1t has been hinted that there are
to be further changes here. Fans
hope that they will not .be too long
delayed. There is little chance OF
a fine .recond during the present sea
son, but there are other years
ahead, and the best time to start
to entirely rebuild the club In right
now.

Schmidt is in the right direction
and II Is hoped that II will prove
successful but that alone will not
suffice to put the Pirates on their
feet.

Nevertheless, Baker doesn't
think so. Baker was not especially
agile around that bag and it was
wholly unintentional on the part OF
Cobb.
But let a catcher attempt to
block Cobb away from the plate

A Good Blocker.

TDDIE AINSMITH is a for
midable blocker at the plate.
- He is endowed with trs-
mendous strength, being put up
like an ancient Greek athlete or
a Roman gladiator. 1t is almost
impossible to upset him when he
sets himself on the base path.
When with the Washington club
Ainsmith blocked off many a
runner, showing that the custom
of the National League is also to
be seen in the American League.
It is, therefore, old stuff for
Ainsmith, this blocking off a run
ner.
There are two ways to abolish
this custom, which should be abol-
ished for the good of the game.
The first and easiest is for the
umpires to be instructed by their
bosses to call all runners safe
when thus blocked off as De
Berry appears to have been by
Ainsmith in st. Louis.
There Is another way used by
certain athletes here and there.
It is to 60 right in and rip the
blocking catcher's legs with the
spikes. Ty Cobb has used this
method for years and he is not
alone, either. If the umpire re-
fuses to force the catcher to live
up to the rule as in the book the
runner can make his own way and
will seldom need more than one
exhibition. After that he will
have plenty Of room.

The Washington times., 1922-07-14

De Berry, Brooklyn's catcher,
attempted to score from third on
a fly by Tommy Griffith. Jack
Smith, the Cardinals outfelder,
hurled the ball toward the plate.
AS De Berry approached the
plate he found his way completely
blocked by Ainsmith, who had not
yet received the throw from the
field. In order not to spike the
catcher, De Berry jumped over
his legs and, naturally, failed to
touch the plate. Before he could
do so, Ainsmith received the ball
and tagged him out. De Berry
was then on his way to the bench
and when Bill Klein called him
out the Dodgers raised a fine
howl. Now President Ebbets has
lodged a protest.
Under the rules in the book a
base runner cannot be blocked of
a base by any player not in pos
session of the ball. Unde: the
rules as actually used any catcher
can block off a runner at the
plate, despite section 5 of rule 81.
