He has changed from a shy, retiring player to an engaging one, having come to realize that a closer association and kinship with the fans is a desirable attribute of a leading personality in the sport. There never will be an exact duplicate of the great Babe. They threw away the mold after be was cast.

But we may some day get a player who will match him in the grip he held on the fans. And when such a man arrives he will tower head and shoulders over all the other players of the game. The Good Friday Baseball Controversy The question of whether or not the Pirates should. have postponed their opening game at home from Good Friday to the next day without being asked to do so and whether or not they should have been "presured" into doing it, as they were, has become a controversial issue with the fans.

And there are others who hold that, since the theaters, bars and other public places will be open for business on the day, baseball should not have been discriminated against, especially in view of the fact that the game was not scheduled to get under way until 3 o'clock and would not have interfered with anv religious services.
