Show ERRORS ENLIVEN THE CAME H TTM DELAHANTY, Detroit's second sacker. ha3 some Idea of errors and their relation to baseball. Jim's comments com-ments are worth while. "Fans generally roast a player when he makes an error that results In a run or two, says Dol. "It's dead wrong They forget that tho player never mokes an error Intentionally. At least I never knew of a man to throw a ball game- Errors are the staff of life of baseball. Thoy are to the national game what good food Is to the human stomach. Without the latter one would not be able to subsist long. Minus errors er-rors they would soon write the obituary for the ono and only support. "A player takes a foozle more to heart than anything else, not even excepting ex-cepting failure to hit In a pinch. 1 know, for I have been playing tho game for ten years now. Some players are moro fortunate than others when It comes to making errors. "1 guess I am one of the unfortunate unfortu-nate kind. Donle Bush belongs to the same school as yours truly. I'll venture ven-ture to eay that Bush and I havo not made ten errors between us In the almost al-most three seasons we have been working work-ing together thj.t did not reoult In runs I for the other fellows. One or the other m of us seems to have the unhappy fac- l ulty of kicking the ball or making a EB bad throw when a perfect play would IB retire the fide. IS There are others Just like us. Larry Hw Lajolo Is very unfortunate in this re- Bwi spect. Few and far between are the mlsplays that are chalked against tho BJ Frenchman, but the percentage Is all H against him when ho docs make a jH bobble. "Every ono who knows Larry knows I M that an error hurts him to tho quick. H Tt Is bad enough to make the mlsplay I H without having the fans hoot the un- . M lucky playor. Thoy should bear in mind that any time errors are ellmi- JH nated from the great national game tho H interest would die and the magnates I H could raze their $500,000 plants." M H |
