TEMPERANCE

William F. Garcelon of Boston
writes:
81 might call attention to the
fact that there is much less drink
ing at Harvard than formerly.
We hear very little in Boston
about disturbances created by
Harvard men. l attribute this to
the fact that very few Harvard
men indulge in hard drinks-per-
haps due to the fact that the lead
ers among the student body frown
upon and discourage foolish drink
ing
1t is also true, he says, that
drunkenness in colleges and else
where comes from the drinking of
cocktails, whiskey and other alco-
holic poisons. 1t is becoming
generally known that the so-called
drinks are rank poison, and not
pure as of old.

all do. If the mistake happens to come at a time
when it loses an important game, 1t is just a hard
break of luck. The player is simply unfortunate,
that's all. If Merke's mistake had occurred in a
game earlier in the season. nobody would have re-
membered it two weeks afterward.
1t was suggested to the manager that many of the
fans had expressed desire that Merkle be sold to
some other team Then McGraw showed flash of
the peculiar power within him that has made him
such conspicuous success a handler and de-
veloper of men
Fred Merkle will be member of the Giants next
season." he declared most positively. Why should
l let him go just because he made mistake? AS a
matter of fact, YOU know that Merkle saved that
game by making hit when | sent him in sub
stitute batter. That's the part of his work l am
looking at. Anybody touch second, my boy;
but there mighty few ball players who go in
and make hit when it counts
That one expression explains why McGraw sent
Merkle contract for the coming season and volun-
tarily increased his salary 1t also gives insight
into the analytical mind of McGraw and explains his
wonderful career director of men. The agrees
affirmative side of everything appeals to him.
He has no time for things that are negative
Don't waste Your time trying to keep the other
fellows from winning have often heard him say;
but go and win yourself He never plays on
the defensive. Close finishes have attraction to
McGraw He wants either to win to lose by big
margin.
For the manager of defeated team have spoken
of Merkle he did that day in the billiard room
a revelation to me. Here was a man whose greatest
ambition had been crushed by the negligent act of
single PLAYER But it did r,ffle his temper He
brushed it away as though it a speck of dust
his coat sleeve. His idea to the player.
The prejudice of the public against the unfortunate
infelder had influenced the manager in the
slightest degree.

~ URING the latter part of last October l was
IL playing billiards with John McC1raw manager
of the New York Giants Ordinarily
would have expected to find him gloomy and out of
sorts-he had just tasted of most bitter defeat. On
the contrary, this little wizard of the diamond had
the entire in uproar by his merry jbes at his
success or failure on certain billiard shots.
The most sensational race in the history of base
ball had just been concluded, and Chicago had won
the championship of the National League. Either
through better luck better hitting better general
ship. Manager Frank Chance of Chicago had captured
the deciding game which happened to be the
playoff of tie contest that had thrown the country
into furore of excitement two weeks before
McGraw had just remarked that his only regret at
the loss of the pennant the fact that his players
had been deprived of the two thousand dollars prize
money each to receive for playing in the series
for the championship of the world They had
worked hard and faithfully that to him it seemed
tragedy for them to lose out at the last minute and
through a trivial of judgment He not
thinking of himself
At that moment tall muscular young man of pale
face and weary expression walked in and extended
his hand to the picturesque little manager of the
Chants
Il am going home Mac said the young man.
"a and came to tell you goodby
Well. goodby, old fellow, and McGraw gave
young Fred Merkle hearty handshake wish
you the best of success and hope you will have a
good time this winter
All this time not vestige of a smile had rufled his
face He appeared to be weary and sick at heart
His usually rosy cheeks had bleached to ashen white
Crows feet under his eyes McCraw picked up
his and started to make shot Merkle looked
steadily at the manager for instant and hestated
if about to say something His lips moved for a
moment; but he evidently changed his mind for he
rammed his hands into his pockets and walked away
1t was in this frame of mind that he left New York

Mc(iraw realized that Fred Merkle the Ma
tional goat" as he expressed it, and he immedi
ately assumed the role of shepherd.
Probably there is not boy in the cities of the
United States who is not familiar with the of
Merkle Any argument that might be started con-
corning the baseball campaign of last inevita
bly, ends by placing the blame for the defeat of the
Giants on the shoulders of Merkle. He thereby be-
comes the goat.
Explaining About Goats"
FEEL presentiment that the editor of this maya
= zine is going to bring me to task for using that
word goat hence, this advance defense You
good English scholars may profess not to know what
that word means but it is perfectly safe to venture
that you find out by asking the office boy. When
things go wrong in your office. and nobody else
be found whom to place the blame. the boy will
probably tell you that he often has to be the goat
himself
Zoology tells us that the goat is an animal but
sporting writer's it does not necessarily follow that
it is quadruped That science may be used occa-
sionally browbeat nature Takers but little thing
like zoology cannot hope to stand in the way of the
great American game of baseball. The diamond has
language of its own, and it the fans fit.
AS matter of fact baseball fans about the only
class of people who really the English language
for of the purposes it was intended convent
ence If it doesn't quite answer it IS the simplest
thing in the world add little word here and there
and help it along In that way both the language
and the fans benefited In baseball the
preston of meaning is made in the shortest and most
pointed way possible
Really, there are only two ways of explaining
what is meant by goat applied to human
beings One is to use the synonym. fall guy
and the other isn't worth trying. Most everybody
knows about the simple differences in the meaning
of the word anyway.
Many persons have assumed the role of goat :;
but Fred Merkle appears to have been the first to
have it forced upon him as a national title.
Five Vital Stems Omitted
the omission of five ordinary strides, this athlete
caused the New York club to lose the greatest
baseball honor in the world interfered with the work
