MAYS WOULDN’T USE BEANER.

Manager Barrow of Red Sox Doesn’t Believe Pitcher Would Intentionally Hit Batsman. Pitcher Cari Mays has been accused of experimenting with the “bean ball.’’ Ed Barrow, manager of the Red Sox, doesn’t think Carl is that kfod of a boy. He says in Mays’ defense:

“Mays is a good fellow, and I don’t believe he would try to hit a batsman any more than would Waiter Johnson. Nobody ever questions Johnson’s fast ball, although sometimes It speeds so close to thq. head that It looks intentional. It’s unfair to charge Mays with such unsportsmanlike and cowardly tactic*. He is a great pitcher and doesn’t have to resort to intiml dation.” • f
