What Wins Pennant Races
New MANAGER of the CHICAGO Sox Declares coursts
Il Absolutely Essential.

trying to spread eagle the other clubs
and win away by himself. Some
times this is the best policy, for often
an inferior club, if permitted to gain
big lead on the others, will get so
full of confidence that nothing can
stop it. There have been such cases,
but they are seldom and the manager
who strains his pitching staff and
risks damaging his team in order to
gain an early lead, is likely to find
himself in midseason with a crippled
and broken club. On the other hand
the manager who strives to hold back
and save up the strength Of his team
for hard finish is liable to have a
discouraged and beaten club on his
hands just at the time he is ready
to make his squirt towards the lead.
The manager must strive to strike the
happy medium, to reserve the strength
of his team, especially of pitchers.
without falling completely out of the
race. Above all he must keep the
spirit and the condition Of his men to
high standard. The aforementioned
club, composed of players working In
unity, and with brains enough to keep
themselves in condition all the time,
will beat much better ball clubs in a
bruising race.
AS for Individual standards I want
brains on my ball club. The smart
ball player, who keeps thinking all
the time, who is looking for an open
ing, and outthinking his opponents, Is
much better player than men who
can outbat, outrun and outfield him.
Speed and hitting ability are the main
essentials of a team. I do not claim
that 20 reporters, who probably know
the game better than any 20 ball play
ers do, could win a pennant, but the
brain must direct intelligently the &C
tons of trained hands and feet and
if, combined with brains, hands and
feet, a player has the quality known
as aggressiveness, he Is a winning
ball player. The manager cannot think
for IL men. He can correct their
mistakes, or tell them about their
blunders, may order their plays and
discipline them, but there are hun
dred times in each game when tho
men must think for themselves and If
they do not, then defeat is to be ex'
pected.

not wear a uniform that looks like
yours, and go after him hard. Hand
every opposing player anything that
will make him weaken or show the
yellow. Any time can convince my
men that they are going to win, and
the other fellows that they are going
to lose, I'll win a pennant.
Ninety-nine and fifteen-sixteenths Of
baseball is courage and nerve. 1t Is
more than that-it is what ball play
ers call gut" is courage with
aggressive confidence behind it, and
any player who has that sort of con-
fident courage is a good ball player
and a winning one, even If he boots
half a dozen balls a day.
The best system of winning games is
to tell the other fellow that you are
going to beat him. Tell it to him be-
fore the game starts and tell him in
q way that will convince him. You
cannot convince him unless you be-
lieve it yourself. I keep telling them
all the time, and believe it myself
until the game is over and sometimes
even then.
Go after the game with intelligence
and force every point as hard as pos
sible. Run after every ball at top
speed and slide to every base as hard
AZ possible. Take chances; any

PASSING OF BUFFALO Bill.
Tribute to Prince Of Scouts, Who Aas
Retired 70 HE Ranch.

Tribute to Prince Of Scouts, Who Has
Retired 70 HE Ranch.
Buffalo Bills withdrawal from the
arena to his ranch In Wyoming will
mark the passing Of the most pictur-
esque personality in public life, hunt
ers of wildebeests and digdlgs not ex-
copied. It's doubtful II any other man
save George Washington has enjoyed
in such degree the universal alteration
Of American youngsters and the ma
ton wide admiration Of American
grownups. Even today affection for
Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses 8. Grant
and Robert Il. Lee has its sectional
limitations; that for Colonel William
Frederick Cody knows no boundaries.
To the youth Of the land he has been
from his earliest fame and always will
be the daring, the dashing, the debonair
Buffalo Bill, intrepid pursuer Of the
earth rocking bison, relentless and al
ways triumphant enemy Of the scalp
ing redskin, breaker Of bronchos, mon
arch Of cowboys, king of horsemen and
prince Of scouts.
Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett, Kit
Carson, had their worshipers, but their
glory was nothing to Buffalo Bills.
Sam Houston was idolized by south as
well as north until he turned from the
Lone Star and fixed his eyes upon the
constellation of the Union. Yet In
comparison with Buffalo Bill he was
little known.
General Custer, tawny named lion
Of frontier fights, had to die on the
Little Big Horn to rival even for
awhile the popularity of his own great
scout, Bill Cody. American boyhood
recognized him AZ a warrior bold and
a golden hearted gentleman Of the old
all-braving school, but 1t hailed B.
William al the ideal Of militant pio-
neering Americanism. Other fighting
men whose fame is safe with the
Youngsters are Phil Sheridan, Phil
Kearny, Admiral Farragut, Commo-
dore Perry, Light Horse Harry Lee.
Swamp Fox Francis Marion, Old Put
and Sergeant Jasper. But to the boy
of today those names are glitterlng
memories, whereas Buffalo Bill not
only is a historical celebrity, but still
is living embodiment of the romance
of the plains.
Boone, Crockett and Carson were
nne fellows, but rude Of speech and
manner. Cody is not only frontiers
man, but man Of culture as we'll
indeed, something Of q courder. Most
of his forerunners among American
scouts and plainsmen were afraid OF
women. Buffalo Bill-well, nobody
ever saw him pale at the flutter Of
petticoat. But, above all, the still
straight, 1.-THE hero of a hundred Dor
der dramas is reality, a breathing
proof Of the buckskin chivalry which
once supplied practically all that was
romantic and picturesque in American
history. Back on his big ranch, with
Mrs. Cody as the chatelaine, long may
be wave.

There is an element In baseball
which is not on the surface, and which
players, spectators, lovers of the game
and often managers themselves, do
not realize or understand. This ele-
ment is pace.
Pace is what decides pennant races.
The team that is fast enough, we'll
conditioned enough and smart enough
to set the pace, and force the other
clubs to play at top speed all the time
to hold in the race, is the pennant
winning team, unless it cuts out too
fast a pace and breaks itself. In

pitched numerous hitless, runless
games and has struck out 1900 bats
men.
The average number of hits he has
allowed per game is less than three,
and his average strike-outs around the

OF course Mitchell hasn't been
pitching against any Hans Wagners,
Fred Clarkes, Tommy teaches or 9th

to see him in action against the
mighty hitters of the National league
before they took that 1900 strike out

can keep any way near that notch as
a Cub, Chance will have one of the
greatest finds in baseball.
