IntentionaI pass

Recently l wrote an article dealing
with the Intentional pass in base
ball. The fact that Babe Ruth, base
balls greatest slugger received /
bases on balls in the last serie:
prompted the story
Prior to the opening of the series
Manager Rogers Hornsby of tht
Cardinals said Ruth was just human
and that he had issued orders tc
all his staff to pitch to him.
For a time they did, and then in
one game Ruth made three home
runs and put an entirely different
aspect on the situation.
While il is doubtful if the inten-
tional pass is ever abolished, still
there is no denying that it is one
of the most unpopular features OF
the game.
I commented upon several sugges-
tions that had been offered to eradi-
cate the evil and asked ehe fans to
write me and tell me what they
thought about it.

the 3S major league baseball players,
past and present, named in the latest
scandal, tonight had assured Commits
sioner Kenesa wNIountai nLandis they
would be here Wednesday morning to
face their accuser, Charles A. "Swede4
Risberg
All the members of the Chicago and
Detroit teams of 1917 had been re-
quested by the commissioner to attend
the hearing into the charges made by
Risberg that members of the Chicago
team gave certain Detroit players 500
to slough off, in four game series,
September 2 and 3, 1917, that the
White Sox would win the American
league pennant
Commissioner Lands said additional
acceptances to his kilograms urging
them to be present undoubtedly would
be received tomorrow.
About 23 of the players on the COM
missioner's list are still in baseball,
and two are major league managers
Ray Schalk Of the White SoX and
DOME Bush Of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Alnonga those who had wired the
commissioner assuring him they would
be here Wednesday are:
Ty Cobb, who is involved with Iris
Speaker in the still smoldering scan
dal of the Detroit cleveland series in

Risberg's story, told to Lands under
oath, was that each of the Sox con-
tributed $45 to present to the Detroit
players for "sloughing'' four games to
the Sox.
Many of the players Risberg named
admitted sharing in the pool, both Sox
and TlgerS, Dut denied RlSDerS cHdrSe
that it was to buy four games from
Detroit They contended it was pres

ton Red Sox in the September pen

one to five letters expressing theil
disgust of the intentional pass
While all seem a unit in the belief
that the intentional pass should be

a pitcher lacks control to the exten;
that he makes only four pitches to
the batsman, all of them being called

THE suggestion applies only wher
there are four pitches to a batsman

That is usually the case when an
intentional pass is issued, the pitcher
throwing the ball so wide of thu
plate that the batter couldn't reach
it were his bat twice as long as
ordinarily used.
IF five or mora balls are pitched
