It is surprising how soon a baseball scribe learns to regard himself as the very best judge of the manner in which a local-club team should be run. It’s a habit they get into. Especially is this a weakness of the gentlemen of the baseball departments of country papers, who have jumped into the work, new to it in every way, from a field of operations diametrically opposite, and who generally come to the conclusion at the outset that “any fellow can edit a baseball column.” Unluckily, it is men of this class who, as a general thing, think themselves fully competent to run a baseball nine–on paper. Let club-managers avoid the pernicious influence.
