The scandal surrounding Carl Mays cools as Ruppert and Huston defend their $75,000 purchase. Mays plays in New York vs Detroit with home support, while the road test remains. Johnny Evers’ suspension after clashing with umpire Moran follows Giants’ leadership struggles and late inning taunts at Brooklyn.
Both Yankee owners insist the throwing incident was accidental and that neither they nor Mays should be penalized. They would have demanded proof of intent to injure Chapman and pursued court action if needed, but aim to avoid any quarrel amid a year of big financial returns.
The piece notes longtime animosity from Ty Cobb George McBride Steve ONeill and George Sisler toward Mays for beanball incidents. It says players fear no legal route to fire him but seek to break his nerve and drive him from baseball, as taunts await each mound appearance.
The text argues Mays may maintain effectiveness under his looming trial, with some doubting his true prostration. It warns that even if he appears unbroken now, he cannot escape a lasting impact and 'forgetting' the incident will eventually tell on him.
Comments nationwide have been varied and vivid. Some defend Mays while others urge harsher action, even criminal charges, claiming removing him from baseball is too lenient.
Newspapers denounce unsportsmanlike conduct as unjustly aiming to deprive Mays of his livelihood. They describe actions as hasty and thoughtless and driven by a desire to be in on the World Series coin. Tris Speaker is praised for calling it an accident and not condemning the Yankee pitcher.
Most discussants favor a moderate stance and blame few directly. They expect the likely drop in efficiency to suffice as punishment. Some sympathize with Ban Johnson, who has just calmed one row over Mays yet faces another. He is unlikely to make a firm decision.
