- This Week’s Cover — Baseball is a recreational therapy invented by Abner Doubleday to dispel worry by giving people something else to worry about. Actually, therefore, it is a voluntarily induced discomfort, a counterirritant not unlike being inoculated with germs to fight germs. A baseball game, or illness, runs a course of about nine innings, after which complications set in and the patient, or fan, starts worrying about the next game. It is epidemic in summer, attains crisis in October, and the healing winters aren’t long enough for a convalescent to get the injection out of his system. Nevertheless, as Dr. Thornton Utz’s fever chart suggests, this is a benign disease, without which business would be all work and no play, making executives dull boys.
