[from a column by Caylor] Do you ask what I would have instead of the error column? This:--I would give every fielder credit for all he did—every assist and every put-out, without recording his failures. Then every fielder would be interested in taking every chance, however, desperate, without fear of loss by doing so. I would then make out the players' averages by the number of assists and put-outs he had, divided by the number of games he played, and compare every man's record only with the record of the other fellows of his position.
