Show Errors as Essential to Baseball as Base Hits John Joseph McGraw once said that errors are as essential to baseball base-ball as base hits and that if ever the error is removed from the game then baseball will collapse. McGraw can say the same about football. .Most of the thrills on foot- hall are the result of errors, mechan- j ical or mental. ( There would be nothing more monotonous in sport than a football game between two teams whose play was mechanically perfect. It would leave (he spectators bored stiff. j Illinois and Michigan played a game at Ann ,.rhor last year. It was about as near mechanically correct as ( games are played In football, but It made no hit with the crowd. The experts ex-perts were highly enthused, but the experts were outnumbered 500 to 1 by men and women who were com- j pletely bored. |
