Violent Outbursts
Show Real Rivalry

Violent outbursts on the baseball
diamond, such as occurred az Detroit,
when game had to he forfeited to
the New York Yankees, are to be de-
plored, of course, writes Harry Il.
Smith in the San Francisco Chronicle.
But for all that, and while I'm not ia
the least condoning the riot, a Ger
tain amount Of fighting spirit Is Ger
tainly needed. Baseball fans must
have communicated to them the feel
ing that rivalry really exists, that the
players on this team or that one have
other thoughts than the payday at the
first Of the month.
Outbursts Of this sort certainly do
give that impression.
And for that reason I'm inclined to
think that while order must be pre-
served, an occasional dash Of spirit
isn't going to do baseball any great
harm
Perhaps that Isn't consistent with
the general idea that baseball must
be conducted as a gentleman's sport
but it's the way feel nevertheless.
Baseball can't altogether be a nam
by-pamby sport. 1t couldn't be and
still have secured a strong grip on
the popuace as Is the case.
