In the former instance, however, it
is the trained man who realizes that
he is part of the plan of attack and
defense, and whose duty it is to carry
out that part to which he is assigned
with fidelity to his commander.
This brings us to the fundamental
principle of team work, and its name
is Harmony, with big H
Perfect unison is necessary. OF
course, don't mean that ball-player
must lose sight of his intelligence and
become a machine, but that, when a
play is outlined, it must be carried out
to the letter.
If hit-and-run play is called for,
batsman and base-runners must posi-
lively attempt that play and no other,
whether the ball comes up on wide
curve or straight over the plate. The
same with a sacrifice. The batsman
must make it whenever the runner is
signalled to expect that play. Other
wise there is confusion. misunder-
standing and at last lack of confidence
in each other that is enough to send
a pennant winning team to the tail
end.

sUPPLANT COFFEE.
Belief of a Raymond Lady.

Mrs. J. t. Bartlett, Raymond, N. H.,
says: Il suspected that coffee was the
cause of my persistent dyspepsia and
terrible feeling of weakness and faint
ness at the heart. 1t was hard to give
up coffee, but when l got some Postum
Food Coffee and learned how to make
it properly, | quickly obtained relief
from the old troubles. The unpleasant
sensation of faintnesS at the heart has
entirely gone.
when | first tried Postum, I failed
to notice the injunction TO boil it fif-
teen minutes, and so let it boil Just a
few minutes, as | would coffee | was
disappointed in the flavor, and did not
try it again until told by friend that
this was one of the absolute essentials
I have since observed the rule and am
entirely satisfied with the drink. It is
simply perfect. l believe it to be the
beverage of the future, and that it is
destined to supplant coffee every
where.
'One of our business men here has
been improved in health by the use of
1t. No one could wish to return to
coffee drinking after properly testing
your delightful and healthful Postum

The Carroll Club.

The week just passed concluded the
first half Of the Carroll Club tourna-
ment, and finds an unusually interest
ing race, any Of the seven teams out OF
the eight having show for first place.
The Jolly Rovers, while practically out
of the running, intend giving the lead
ers warm reception during the last
half. Not a game has been postponed
and everything points to a most sue
cessful league. Some evening next
week the Carroll Club bowlers will
meet the All Wheeling team on the
club alleys, claiming an easy thing. -
After the games all bowlers will be
treated to a supper, after which a
smoker and a general good time will
be had.

carry out the play that is ''up to him. "
If he fails, l believe in giving him
credit for the effort and encouragement
to tackle the next chance that comes
his way. My idea of playing is to
win, and the only chance to win is in
playing it to the limit.
| have not met many players who
could show me points in strategy, but
haven't any idea that l know all there
is to know, and that there isn't any
thing left for anybody else to know.
If l didn't learn something new from
every game l see l would think my
| thought-gear was off its center.
For that reason, in practising team
| plays, when | have SO many clever
strategists as are among the Giants, l
want each to give me his idea of GER
tain plays. Then we'll try them all
and settle which is the best to use.
But l want men drilled in everything,
so Well go on the field steady and con-
fident, ready to act on a signal and to
act like company of soldiers, without
a hitch.
Next to unanimity of action in team
work is careful study of the opposing
team and a shift of tactics to offset
their play. With skilled players game
of ball is like a sparring match. There
are just as many feints and bluffs, and
the real trick must be sprung under
cover, just as the real lead of the pugi-
list follows a trick of the hands, arms,
head or feet. Fool the other side, get
'em guessing-and the battle is half
won.
The one-plan style of game won't
work. Tactics that would make mon
keys of one team might look like a 81
uniform in hard luck against another.
The same tricks won't do all the time.
The unexpected is what gets the other
J fellows WooZy.
! If they know what's coming they al
! so know what to do against it. If we
; know what to expect, We'll be prepared
| for it. The game is to see their next
move before it is made and get started
| first.
| But every man on my team must
know to dot what the other man is
going to do and what is expected of
him in the plan of attack
This takes me back to the starting
point-harmony, the real keynote OF
team work
I don't dislike the habit of calling
down" mildly during play. so long as
it is good-natured and not nagging.
With the veterans it sometimes helps
to ginger up" the work 1t muslin t
be INDUCED in so freely with young
sters, though as to discourage them.
In fact, fellow-player's verbal pat on
the back should be as ready as his CEN
sure any time it is deserved.

Runs win games, and no one man
can make run all alone, unless by the
rare occurrence of a homer" The
man who follows is the real run-get-

clever base runner has been made TO
