the V.e«s fiom defeat. The piten

evenly divided between Meikie

Bees did not hit for extra bases.

THE DETROIT BALL PLAYERS' STRIKE

The scrubs were beaten 24 to -. ;
"LET 'EM HOWL," SAYS
COLLINS; TALKS ON COBB
(Editor's Note.— biggest thing in baseball today -

from the standpoint of the ball-player was written for tills t

BY Kl>i>lK COLIJNS,
Star Second Baseman of the World's Champion, Philadelphia
•i ■• Athletics.; ■
The strike of the players of the Detroit baseball team brings into
the strongest limelight the most disagreeable feature of the profes
sional basball player's life. 1 mean the criticism from the specta
tors' stands. : - ;-, -- ' '" • . ! - •■ • ■ 't •
Frequently this criticism is
unjust and unwarranted, but
players have to "stand the gaff."
In some cities It is worse than In
others. The visiting player re
ceives better treatment and Is
given recognition for a good play
even though it works to the dis
advantage of the home club. De
troit people are hard losers, and
visiting players are subjected to
verbal abuse from the bleachers.
One reason this is so noticeable
is because of the proximity of the
stands to the base line in both
fields. The remarks of the bois
terous fan are usually of "kid
ding" nature, and it depends
nine times out of ten upon the
individual against whom they are
directed how he chooses to inter
pret them. If a player gives sign
that he has heard a remark, he
is wise to pass it off with a jest
rather than give vent to his feel
ings and show a frown. A smile
beats any other action a thousand
Shaefer I. the KODIB COLUNB.
best example I know. Of course, he 1b an exception, but he has
always something funny and amusing to say to the bleacherites,
and they are really for him rather than against him. The primary
intention of the fan in shouting and hooting is to detract the player's
mind from his work and "get him up In the air." Naturally any
player who allows himself to be influenced by such taunts and replies
la likely to bring ntbre abuse upon himself and he is always the'loser.
Nine times out of ten a player cannot single out the person who has
called to him, and if he does his reply is drowned in a torrent of
hoots.
"Let 'Em Howl" Is the only dope I can see. There has been In
cidents when an obnoxious fan has sought a front seat and picked on
one player continually. This happened on the old Columbia avenue
grounds in Philadelphia, when "Rube" Waddell was pitching. It
was afterwards discovered the spectator who aroused "Rube's" Ire
and caused him to leap over the railing and beat him up had wagered
a big sum upon the contest and as he saw the Athletics forging
ahead figured the only chance he had of winning laid In \Vaddelln
retirement. However, his disgusting method of bringing
Rube's downfall resulted in a beating for himself and Rube *tfh al
lowed to finish and win his game. A three-day suspension fottowetf
and Rube took a fishing trip. There have been numerous sjhpllitr
incidents where a player subjected to abuse sought revenge upJK the
spot.
A story is told of how Steve Brodie baited a game, grabbejl th«
score board boy's ladder, climbed up in the bleachers and chaflsd a
fanbug who had been "riding" him. Of conrse, Tyrus Cabb's funs
In New York stands out just now. It seems aa though there » in
stances where a player ig justified in taking a punch at a speAtor,
because the latter has called him a vile name, but only personal sat
isfaction Is gained, and such action means suspension. The 4ub'B
chances are jeopardized by such action. When a ball playeiy|fcels
he Is abused by a spectator he has only to appeal and the atop) re
will order an officer to evict the Insulter, but you can rest asjfcired
that while baseball reigns supreme fans will have their say aid the
player who can't stand being called a "bonehead" had better gt» up
hope of becoming a fixture. If satisfaction must be had! let rdTress
be off the field. If a man who s«es fit to curse a player In ualorm
has courage be won't be afraid to repeat It after the game and let
them have it out. If the spectator does not have the nerve, flfSfc he
is a coward, and the worst is too good for him.
