Text | [editorial matter] The idea of permitting base-runners to overrun second and third bases is gradually coming into favor, at least with those who run the clubs and foot the bills. It is argued that what little merit there is in base-sliding from a popular point of view is more than offset by the accidents to valuable ad high-salaried players, which seriously affect the position of clubs in the race and consequently hurt financially. It is an expensive luxury to have the Sundays, Dunlaps, Staleys, Richardsons and Hanlons of the game laid up for weeks at times when their clubs most sorely need them. |
