\ ND now. just byway of cltang
ing the subject, do you know
just what a bonellead is?
Just off-hand you would say that
a bonehead was a player without
any sense.
But that's wrong
Did you ever hear a manager
say: "He's crazy, but he has just
enough sense to play baseball?"
Maybe you thought he was kid
ding. but he wasn’t.
It doesn’t always take a brainy
dome to top off a smart ball player.
Let's take a couple of eases far
enough back in the misty past to
keep from hurting anybody's feel
ings (though there are plenty of
such cases in the league today).
But, anyhow, just consider "Tacks"
Parrott and 'Bugs" Raymond. Now,
Parrott, in his best day. didn't have
an overabundance of convoluted
think stuff. Yet he wits not a
"bonehead" on the field. Ray
mond's case was the same. If The
Insect had had a problem in quad
ratic equations to do to save his
life he'd be a goner sure. But he
could keep his end up in baseball.
So clearly It isn't (he dumheads
who pull the bones of baseball.
Hugh Jennings, in a newspaper
article, once said: 'I don't believe
there is such a thing as a 'bone
head' in baseball. It is a fault that
boars a wrong Jtatne What we un
derstand nowadays as a ‘bonehead’
is merely a man who van not think
quickly."
And there you have it
Raymond and Parrott couldn't
think deeply. But what thinking
they could do was done quickly.
And that made them “smart ball
players*"
It is likely that some of the
great philosophers and thinkers of
the age would have been "bone
heads" at baseball because they
< ouldn't think quickly
• • •
ANOTHER thing about bone
heads" sometimes a man will
get the title saddled on him for a
couple of plays, correctly made by
the player but misunderstood by
the fans: and it may take him a
lifetime of smart playing to get
rid of the title.
Says Jimmy Callahan ftne
day I heard a crowd jeer an out
fielder because he refused to catch
a long foul. There was a runner
on third and only one out in a tight
game To hnve caught the ball
would have tllo.wrd the runner to
score from third <if course, he
dropped Rut the fans yapped al
That * just uni t.vainskas
Up to a few years ago the aver
age fan was all at sea over the
hit-and-run play When a man lit
out from first on a hit hall that to
the fans was obviously a liner right
into an Infielder's hands, they
thought hr was a deep-dyed bone.
They supposed that the player ran .
because he did not have any better
sense. Right today there are plen
ty of regular fans who can't see
why players are so often doubled
up when they would have been safe
by holding first.
J. Callahan cites another exam
ple of a supposed "bone" that real
ly wasn't one. Says he.
"I remember an Instance of last
summer that also illustrates the
point. I was coaching at third
base. Harry Lord was on first with
one out and we needed ttvo runs to
tie the score. On the hit-and-run
play, Pat Dougherty made a line
hit to right field and Lord legged
it to third. The right fielder lined
the ball to second base, and just
as I grabbed Lprd and stopped him
at third, the second baseman fum
bled and booted the hall. This
would have let Lord come home,
CRACK IN BOXING LID
IS FOUND IN ARKANSAS
LITTLE ROCK. ARK. June 5. —A
loophole in Arkansas' penal code large
enough for boxers to escape from the
charge of prize fighting was recognized
here by a Justice of the peace, when
a case wherein arrests had been made
at the instance of Governor George W.
Donaghey was dismissed for want of
evidence that the principals had been
fighting for a prize.
Fight followers assert that this paves
the way for further boxing contests
here, and say that preparations are be
ing made to follow the advantages
gained today. The defendants freed
were Adolph Jacobson. Homer R
Heard and Referee Jack White. The
contest took place before the Rose City
Athletic club last Friday night.

is made up of such stars as R. Ginn.
Robinson. McWhorter, Jordan. Brooks
and others makes it the more note
worthy The score was 11 to 0.
RACING DEAD IN LOUISIANA.

but neither of us saw it and the
crowd yelled its disapproval and
roasted me for holding him at
third. At the same time the um
pire sent me to the bench for using
my hands to push Lord back to
the bag and the crowd thought that
Manager Duffy had taken me off
the coaching line for pulling a
bone-headed play.”
About al! the moral there is to
this tale Is that it doesn’t pay to
judge players hastily nor is it wise
to size a man up as a fool merely
because lie can’t think quickly
enough to keep up with the speed
of a baseball. The worst looking
play is sometimes for the best and
the slowest thinkers are sometimes
the deepest.
