Head Pieces for All Baseball Players
New York, Aug. 18--Introduction of headgear for batsmen is being considered by baseball club owners, Magistrate Murphy, secretary-treasurer of the New York Giants said here today in commenting on the fatal injury to Raymond Chapman, the Cleveland shortstop in a game Monday.
Humanitarian impulse is quite as much an anxiety to protect their star performers have moved club owners to protect the head of their star players, Magistrate McQuay asserted. Solid helmets similar to those employed by football men may be used he said.
