II Wo,uldn't Do.

N WVuAuM y OUs
AYO, BROTHER, it wouldn't do
~ to emasculate our national
= pastime in such an unseen
ly manner.
So long as baseball is the ma
tional game of American youth,
it will have to be little rough
and tumble. There is nothing
unsportsmanlike about calling an
opposing pitcher a "big bum, -
nor a base runner on the other
side ga lucky stiff" Possibly
Prof. Phillips and George Huff,
who, by the way, was a ten
minute manager of the Boston
Red Sox in the early days of the
American League, may think so.
But they're wrong; they're wrong,
that's all.
No average American lad wor-
ries when, in a ball game, he
hears himself called "stifF" or
"bum," or even worse. He
knows it's part of the game, that
he can hand out quite as good
himself with the situation re-
versed.
And does the repartee of the
diamond injure anybody? Bosh,
of course it doesn't. Let the
wiseacres tamper with tiddlede-
winks, chess or ping pong, but
let them keep their raeddling fin
gers eoR baseball, the national
game of the lads who ran
through the Hindenburg line,
who broke the Kaiser's battalions
| on many a field in shot-torn
France.
''When I was q child" said
Paul to the Corinthians, II spake
as a child; but when became q
man, put away childish things"
Seeking to reform the accom-.
panying language of baseball is
a Childish thing" not worthy OF
grown men.

Barrow, ".and ] certainly did not

IF johnson made any such
statement either then or at any
other time I did not hear 1t. The
Yankees last fall considered the
advisability Of getting Benton
from the st. Paul club but i
never understood that the deal
was abandoned on advice from
Johnson
The furore over Benton recalls
the charge made by the former
New York pitcher some three
weeks ago. It was unofficially re-
sum Of money to s'toss' a game
he was to pitch against the Cubs
in Chicago. The incident did not
come to light until the following
season, when Benton named Hal
Chase. Lee Magee and Charley
Herzog as the men who had at
tempted to corrupt him.

Look at these rules suggested
by the special committee for the
government Of college baseball:
81. For unsportsmanlike Ian
guage or action by a player on
q team in the field, the umpire
shall cali a ball on the pitcher.
If it is the fourth ball, she
shall declare the batsn4an en-
titled to a base on balls.
"2. For unsportsmanlike Ian
guage or action by a player of
the side at bat; the umpire
shall call strike on the bats
man. II it is the third strike,
he shall call the batsman OUT
Wait; don't laugh yeti Don't
laugh! You'll spoil everything,
Yes, and that's just about what
such rules would do to baseball
whether of the college, profes.
sional or sandlot variety.
The wiseacres of the National
Collegiate Athletic Association
went on record as approving The
suggestion, but few believe it will
ever be adopted.

How It Works Out.

THERE'S how the suggested
rule would work out in a
game played by any two
teams. Say the Griffs and Yanks
are playing, the Yanks leading,
1 to 0, with two out in the ninth
and the bases damned. Joe Judge
is at bat, doing his level best to
win that BAH game. Joe Bush is
pitching a brilliant game against
i Walter johnson.
Just as Bush winds up to pitch
his first ball, a perfect hook
across the heart of the plate,
Everett Scott shouts, "Get the
stiff, JoeY'
"BaIl one!" cries Tommy Con-
molly. That's because Scottie In
suited the batsman, Mr.. Joseph
Aloysius Judge, a man Of family
