LUCK IS CHIEF ELEMENT
 IN WINNING, SAYS STALL
BOSTON AMERicANs' FIRST SACK. ER PLACES TEAM WORK SEC. OND AND HITTING THIRD
 IN THE LIST.
By "JAkE" STALL.

Copyright. 1910. by Joseph B. Bowles.) There are so many clements that contribute to winning or losing base ball games that it is hard to decide which is the most important. l be- lieve luck is first, team work second, hitting third, and fielding just ahead of base running. Few persons under stand how much the game is affected by luck. It makes and breaks ball clubs every season, and sometimes 1t seems as if luck alone decides pen nant races. But if you come to study the matter more deeply you will dis cover that the thing we call luck keeps pursuing certain teams, and running others, and if any one begins to seek why this is true he discovers that luck" is only another name for gameness, determination, and hustling ability The team or the player that consistently hustles, that runs out every ball at top speed, that tries for every ball that is hit as hard as it is possible to try, soon becomes lucky for the player who does that is there ready to take advantage of Tuck"
 One sometimes wonders why, after the middle of the season. some clubs are so easy to defeat and some so hard. It Is luck again in another form. The one club has been beaten until 1t is discouraged and listless in its work, half hearted in everything. while the other is full of confidence. inspired with hope, out after every thing and every man is on his toes every minute, and it beats better ball clubs through sheer hustle and con- fidence.
 The first thing young player ought to do is to see that his condition Is perfect, and he must keep it that way and train himself so he can last through an entire season. Then he ought to begin studying the game. watching every other players records and learning all about them. He ought to watch his own men, and the opposing team. studying how they make plays and deciding for himself

By KNOCKOUT.

Jack Johnson now finds himself in much the same position that Jim lief fries was in when he defeated Jack Munroe back in 1904 There is mo- body for him to fight. Johnson has proven beyond the shadow of doubt that he is. the peer of any man in the mitt game and if he takes care of himself it will be long time before any man will be able to take the cham pionship crown from his head
 Sam Langford talks of fighting Jack and has challenged the big black for battle. Johnson says he will pay no attention to the def, declaring such fight would not draw. T don't think Langford can whip Kaufman or Ketchell,' said Jack. and everybody knows neither of these men have a chance with me-"
 Tommy Ryan has been coaching a big Irishman known as Con O'Kelly Under Ryan's instructions O'Kelly won his first battle, fight with a man named Comiskey, whom no per son ever heard of, but foxy Tommy isn't going to put his man against Johnson for some time to come, if at all
 Johnson is so much better than any other man now in the ring that the only hope for the white race lies in some unknown being developed in the next year or two who can get him into the ring out of condition as he has been in several battles since he defeated Tommy Burns.
 Up to the time Johnson fought lief fries there were many who said the negro didn't have the necessary punch to defeat a good man. This no doubt was due to the big blacks peculiar style of milling. He always has been content to take his time and go easy with an opponent. Before the fight with Jeffries, Johnson said he intended to prove that he did have the punch and he did.
 Then there were the people who said that Johnson had a yellow streak" If he has Jeffries was un. able to find it. and if Jeffries couldn't make it show there's little chance for any other man to do so. Jim Corbett was one of those who openly declared that Johnson was lacking in bravery "Jeffries will make him jump out of the ring" said Corbett. Again Pom padour Jim" was wrong. It is no torious fact that Corbett never has been able to pick winner. He thought Burns would whip Johnson He thought Cans would defeat Nelson We all know the results of those bat tlese.
 Corbett complained before the fight that Jeffries did not box enough. He made the same excuse after Jeffries was knocked out. There probably is some truth to this, but 1t is doubtful whether the result would have been any different.
 Now comes the question:: Could Johnson have whipped the Jeffries that whipped Bob Fitzsimmons? It's hard question to answer and the ex perts fail to agree. From present day
