WATER BASEBALL, FINE HOT WEATHER GAME
Splash goes Batter, Splash goes Catcher, and Splash goes Everybody
"Fair ball!"
Splash went the batter toward first, splash went the catcher after the ball. Splash went the pitcher, fielders, everybody. The cheers and howls were deafening.
The catcher recovered the ball sputtering and heaved it to first.
The first baseman wildly clutched the ball; then he, too, went splash. Runner and baseman met everybody went splash again. Then everybody went splash again.
Thus began the daily aquatic baseball game in the Robinson gym pool.
Yesterday, a visitor who was unacquainted with the new sport, climbed up on the umpire's stand, shouted 'I'm the president and asked Dr. Naismith all about it.'
acquainted with it. climbed up on the ampire's stand, which is usually the diving platform, and asked Dr. Naismith all about it. "It's more fun than a circus," said the Doctor, laughing at the antics of some of the players as they cavorted in the water. "The catcher and batter stand on the side of the pool," he explained. "Midway on the three other sides perch the basemen. In the water facing the home plate is the pitcher. The game is nothing more than the one-o'cat you used to play down on the corner lot. Look, the pitcher is
Maybe Matty was winding up, but to the ignorant visitor it appeared more like he was splashing about to keep afloat. At last he threw the cork ball, the球 swung at it with his open hand, and crackled the ball flew for a Texas leaguer. The batter excitedly dived and struck out with all his might for first. Splishingly desperately, the pitcher swam after the floating ball, clutched it, and threw to the first baseman, who was dancing on the edge of the pool. Hal Chase Jr., naked the ball and plunged in the water to catch the fast-coming batter. He was too slow, however, for the runner shot under him with a regular Tycob slide for the base.
"Safe on first!" shouted Umpire Naismith.
"There's no danger of getting spiked in this game," he laughed a moment later, "but you always have the possibility of collisions—and swallowing several gallons of water." The Doctor added, as a player came up spouting like a sperm whale.
SUMMER BASEBALL
We received a letter a day or so ago from a famous Yale athlete summering in Canada. He stated in his letter that he had been invited to play upon the home ball team in the small Canadian town where he was living, but that one member of the team had at one time played professional ball, although the others were amateurs.
He further stated that he intended to go back to Yale next fall, and that he had never received any money for athletic play and never
expected to. He didn't want to do anything to affect his amateur standing at Yale—but he DID want to play a little baseball. "Can I play a game or two with this club?" he added, "and still be called an amateur?"
You might take this for a foolish question. It doesn't appear to be logical in any way. But the queer part of it is that if he had played on that club he would have been branded, by the present inane regulations, as out and out a professional as Christy Mathewson or Ty Cobb. The only thing to write him was that he should under no conditions take the chance, even if he was willing to pay money for the privilege of a little fun.
Without going into any lengthy or heated oration over this "summer baseball" question, hasn't the time about arrived when we should take this matter up with at least the essence of common sense and common fairness? Hasn't the hypocrisy of the thing—the utter unfairness and the complete inaneness of it—one far enough?
Any student who has been in college one full year—a rule now enforced—and who has maintained—and proclaimed—be entitled to represent his college.
Who is going to pay a professional ball player a salary to stay in college one full year where the "one-year" rule or the "freshman rule" would bar him from the team? The answer is that he needs a salary to remain there a second year to play in maybe fifteen or twenty games?
What ball players will be willing to grind through two college years to keep up full class work for the past year and receive in these limited contests?
In the old days professionals were undoubtedly hired for a brief period of college play. But the one-year rule, and faculty regulations that a student must keep up his work, would have ended that ancient system automatically.
As things now stand, the summer baseball rule has merely manufactured liars out of one section and prevented the other section from enjoying a favorite sport or earning some honest money with which to pay collegiate expenses for an education—Collariens.
To the foregoing we can sincerely say: "Them's our sentiments exactly." And we should be glad to see K. U. start a movement to relegate to the innocuous desuchetse this foolishness about summer baseball.
