CRICKET V. BASEBALL
TO THE EDITOR OF THE PEEiS.
Sir,—l have just had three copies of a large page. 10-page weekly paper devoted wholly to baseball, kindly sent with an anonymous note. These papers show how this game is run as a business even to a greater exieni than some other games (mentioning no names) are run with us BritishersThe basebell "pros." are put up to auction, in a way. as the niggers were in Uncle Tom's day. and the bidding is as keen as it will be for the wool bales on Monday. If the introduction of baseball meant the bringing in of the awful journalism that seeau to go with it. then it had better be kept out as a noxious weed.—lours, et °" PETER TROLOVE. . January 30, 1937, _
