The Base Ball Attitude.

With view of aScertaining how they
felt about the mitigation of the penalty
for mistakes in other sports, 1 inter-
viewed Mr.. John Joseph McGraw, the
manager Of the Giants, who is noted
for his tolerance of young ball players
who pull bones" every now and then.
Mr.. McGraw," 1 said, do you
not think that it is very unfair to
penalize base ball team for an
error committed by only one player?
Don't you think that this unfor-
tunate young man should be given
another chance to attempt to catch
the fly that he dropped? In the
event that ball is batted between
a second baSeman'S legs, do you not
think that this ball should be dead
at the point where 1t went through
the players legs? Do you not
think that the harsh penalties in
flicted by the present base ball rules
tend to depresS the athletes and
work to blight their entire careers?
Do you not think that the penalties,
generally speaking, for errors in base
ball should be made lighter?"
"Oh, yes, indeed" said the kindly Mr..
McGraw, II think that the rules are
altogether too harsh in the infliction
of penalties for the little mistakes which
you mention. I, for one, think that
they should be ameliorated
For the first tumble merely would
shoot the player. For the second
would boil him in oil. After that he
should be cooked over a slow fire.
Athletes as sensitive as base ball players
should not be handled harshly."
