THE PSYCHIATRIST AND
THE WORLD
CPrychiatry may play an important part
in world peace, United Nations World
Health Organization is told."?Neuta Item)
Doctor (looking at the battered
world) ? Now just relax and be
perfectly candid with me. I want
to find out what's the matter with
you.
World ? Can you find anything
that ain't?
Doctor ? It's all a matter of psy
chiatry, I think; just a matter of
reviewing your past life.
World ? Reviewing my past will
be no help, doc. It only makes me
feel worse.
Doctor ? Just leave that to me.
Now we've got to find out what has
made you act the way you do. Did
anything ever happen to you as a
child? Did you ever fall out of your
high chair?
World ? I couldn't say for cer
tain. But I've been falling out of it
ever since!
?
Doctor ? I ask that because I ob
serve many bruises on your head.
World ? You should see the ones
in some other places!
?
Doctor ? Was your home life
marked by violence at any period?
World ? Sometimes I don't feel
that I had any home life; it seems
that I was always on horseback or
on an army truck.
Doctor ? Did you as a child feel
frustrated, unable to express your
self, balked in attaining your de
sires?
World ? One time when I
showed up with gun powder, which
was reallv a lovelv nlavthine. thev
bawled me out sumpin' awful. I got
licked for that, too.
Doctor ? Clear as a bell! They
filled your young mind with the
feeling of frustrations. Your
natural development was thwarted.
I'll bet they even objected when
you played with poison gas.
World ? Yep. What a row they
made. I remember they said I
would come to no good end and
might even wind up as the kind of
boy who would throw atom bombs.
O
Doctor ? Just as I thought! You
were never allowed to express your- J
self fully! You became an intro- ,
vert, a duplexvert and possibly a
nincomvert.
World ? Yeah! Ain't parents
awful?
(This settles everything. The psychia

off all inhibitions, regard himself as mas

'"THERE seems to be a wide diver.
gence of opinion as to whether
the rabid fanatic is entitled to boo
a good ball player on an off day
and feed him the Old Bronx Cheer
in his time of trouble. As you may
know, there are two sides to every
argument, the same as a plank.
Usually both are just as wooden,
leading nowhere, but in this case
the argument at hand is a big part
of baseball.
Booing a visiting or hostile play
er is another matter. This is often
Hon us
Wagner
a iriDuie 10 me
damage said play
er has slipped to
the home club.
The argument we
are taking up here
concerns the ethi
cal side in riding
the home athlete
when he is in the
process of cavort
ing on the soapy
chute, otherwise
known as a slump.
ine ian s argument is uiai as
long as he pays his entrance fee
and the game is offering him no
particular thrill for the money in
vested, he has a perfect right to
pick up his enjoyment and enter
tainment over another route, which
is letting the erring or futile ball
player know just what the fan thinks
about him.
The fan has a good ease here as
long as he doesn't move Into per
sonal invective, involving the play
er's ancestry and his present
family, which often happens. The
only half-way shock I ever picked
op over a booing incident occurred
many years ago when Pittsburgh
fans started riding Honus Wagner.
Wagner was then in his 41st year.
He had been an outstanding star
for over 20 seasons. He had given
millions as many thrills as any
ball player had ever displayed up
to the reign of Babe Ruth, the all
time thrill king. His brilliant work
at short with his bushel-basket
hands, his great base running, his
tremendous hitting through two dec
ades seemed to be quite enough
to allow for a few lapses in his fad
ing days.
Home and Visiting Boos
But the theme song of the base
ball crowd is: "It isn't what you
used to be ? it's what you are
today." Just what the Flying Dutch
man thought of the vocal raspber
ries thrown his way no one ever
will know. But I've figured ever
since that if a home crowd could
boo Wagner, no one else should be
immune.
Ball players tell me they have
no feeling about being booed in hos
tile hamlets. I know John McGraw
relished the dislike he deliberately
built up in Chicago, St. Louis and
other cities away from New York.
I've heard Matty booed in New
York ? but not McGraw, although
he mav have been.
The swiftest and most effective
reaction to booing from a rival
crowd came from Cobb years ago.
Ray Chapman, Cleveland short
stop, had just been killed by Carl
Mays in a Yankee game. Cobb had
been quoted in an interview de
nouncing Mays. Cobb denied the
interview with considerable fervor.
The next day, appearing with the
Tigers against the Yankees, Ty
took a terrific vocal lathering from
some 35,040 Yankee fans. "It's
no fun," Cobb told me that night,
"to be booed, hissed and cursed by
35,000 American citizens."
But in place of curling up or
growing sour, Cobb stepped out that
day and got four hits, stole two or
three bases, scored several runs
and broke up the ball game. The
answer is that the big crowd was
cheering him in his last time up.
Showing Up the Mob
This seems to be the best answer.
The best reply to a boo or a vocal
cataclysm of hate and derision is
to show up the maudlin mob of
goat-getters. You rarely hear them
booing a fellow who is making
good. No ball player ever took the
terrific vocal riding Babe Ruth ab
sorbed in the Yankee-Cub world
series years ago when he came to
bat against Jack Root in Chicago.
Packed stands howled and yelled
and called Babe names they
wouldn't print in the press of pur
gatory. Tk! Babe applied even viler
epithets, me against 15,000, as he
pointed to the center field flag pgle.
That was the most famous home
run Babe ever hit in his collec
tion of more than 700.
"All I knew about K," the Babe
told me later, "is that ball was
kinder egg-shaped or flattened out
after they found it."

Problem of 1947
We have been talking recently
with a number of managers
not club owners or ball players,
about the 1947 baseball season. One
of the smartest told me this?with
the amazing increase in attend
ance, with the aftermath of the
Mexican league and the union ar
rival, ball players for 1947 are go
ing to demand big pay increases.
"A good many of these deserve
such increases," the manager said.
