Then Mccoy enumerated other talents
possessed by the miner man. One of these
is the power to inf1ict a crushing blow;
another is the ability to bear up under hard
punishment. With these attributes and a
fair knowledge of the art of self-defense,
Mccoy considers Munroe as dangerous a
man as Jeffries could be called on to meet.
Mccoy in common with many others be-
lieves that Jeffres has considerable diff

Even if he gets away with Munroe, his
increasing weight will force him to retire

argued Mccoy. "Of course, 1 have no
personal knowledge of the work JEFF has
to do at present to keep himself in condi-

last he looked tremendously big. Now.
there are secrets in every camp. and it
may be that Jeffries' efforts to get rid of
his surplus weight have affected his SIAM

may be the next time he fights, or the next

can League: ut looks to me like bit OF
luck"
''How's thatr' was the question put to
him.
IT don't mean to say that It won't take
good ball playing to win." was the reply.
but the team that first strikes winning
streak will finish in 'front.'"
"You don't mean to say that one nine is
likely to win and the others stand still.
where all seem SO well matched?
Nothing of the Sort But there Is such
a thing In base ball winning streak
1t doesn't matter whether you are particu-
larly good or very bad Times will come
when you will seem to be able to win
games that ordinarily would look hard, and
somehow you can't get away from win
ming them. I figure that something Of the
race. where four teams are so well punched
at the top, and II 1t does happen that team
is going to pull off the pennant.
I'm the fret place. you must remember
that only few points separate the leading
teams in the American League. Suppose
one of those teams gets hump and wins
half a dozen games in succession, While
the other fellows only get about so per cent
of theirs. Don't you see what lead that
winning collection would have, and without
much effort?
II don't believe there has been a cham
pionship won in base ball where the sue
ceSSful team old not at some Time nave d
long run of luck that brought victories
with it. Look at the National League race
last year. What won for the Ptttsburgs?
Nothing more than that remarkable success
sion of victories on their own grounds about
the middle Of the season. Up to that time
the New Yorks were crowdfng them hard.
but they encountered New York about that
time and the GiantH fell like the other
teams in the Naional League. Look at
Boston in the American League race last
year. They had similar winning streak.
and the Giants had one this year when
they ran eighteen straight without losing
a game. That's what tells in champion
ship race. and that's what I'd like to see
the Highlanders get. If we have VIM
ming streak 1t will be all over with the re-
mainder Of the bunch in the American
League fight"
That's something that I'd like to an
swer in the affirmative. but how am to
know? We're just likely to get 1t as
any other nine in the American League
We've got the material and If luck does
to stop us. That's one thing Of which am
certain. Give us chance to pull down,
say, six games in succession while the
other teams are breaking even, and we'll
pionship especially II we can get those
games at home. We don't have any trouble
on the road There isn't team In the
American League that plays stronger
game away from home than we do. It's
the home games that seem to upset us, and
I can't tell why. However. there are lots
of things In base ball that no man can
explain. It's part Of the game. and one Of
the parts that make it so interesting. l
think we've got just as good a chance for
the championship as any team in the race,
and If we get majority Of the games on
the home grounds this time I don't know
but we will be a little better off than most
of them, for I'm dead sure we'll win when
we make our last journey to the west"
