A short time ago. in an interior
village in Kiang Su, woman, yambi-
tious to become educated, killed her
self after bad treatment from her hus-
bands relatives. Her farewell letter

notice of her. If human beings would
follow their example, fewer persons
would seek notoriety by foolhardy

Raw weather is the players
worst enemy, but I have taught
my men not to use their arms on
such days. An incident of the
present trip will illustrate this.
We were advertised to play an
exhibition with an All Star team
the last day in Hot Springs, and
1000 paid admission. But a cold,
raw wind prevailed, and, rather
than permit the men to risk them
iselves, we did not play. Had /
lconsented, the result might be the
loss of this seasons pennant.
My advice is: Take no chances
in the spring. Be careful with
players, for ambition will lead
them to do things a manager can
stop If he keeps his eyes open.
Next to getting into condition,
the inside work counts. Every
bit of inside work the Cubs are ia

hours spent In practicing the tricks
during the training trips.
