Wonderful Nerve Of a Player In a
University Baseball Team.


University Baseball Team.
Some fiye years ago group OF col
lcge men. In which we're many mem
bers Of the Yale and Princeton base
ball teams, was discussing the game
OF the next day, which was TO decide
tho championship. "Slugger" Kelly.
the hardest hitter on the Jersey nine.
predicted In the course OF the con
vorsatlon, that he would get n home
run In the coming game. The Yale
pitcher turned toward him and asked
how certain he was Of that home run.
Kelly replied that he was sure TO the
extent OF $1,000 and the Yale pitcher
remarked that he was convinced OF
the opposite to a like degree the two
players shook hands on the wager and
went home 10 bod. During the FIRST
eight innings Kelly came TO the bat
ave times and Ave times he got his
base on balls. the Yale man taking
care 10 send in no ball that Kelly
could touch.
When tho "slugger" came to the
bat in the last half of the ninth there
were two men out and an eager tiger
was lowering on FIRST base. Kelly
know that II was his last chance TO
hit the ball and as the FIRST ball pitch
cd came flying down far 10 one side
OF tho plate the "slugger" stepped
away across the rubber and his bat
met tho ball with sharp crack. The
next second the broken bat was lying
on tho ground and Kelly was flying
around the diamond. He reached home
with the winning run about a second
before the ball landed in the catcher'a
hands. and as he brushed the dust
from his shirt he calmly remarked;
Il knew could do H."
Without entering into the question
OF the morality OF betting, that sort OF
spirit is what Is needed to-day by the
man who wants to accomplish some
thing. Not the concelt Of the man
who deludes himself with a magniaed
picture OF his own abilities. but the
calm certainty OF the one who
knows what he can do and intends "a
