more newly risen, take their places.
Teams that have seemed to be invincible

often the deterioration is so gradual
that the final catastrophe comes as a
shock to fans and ball players alike.
They can scarcely believe that the object
of their admiration is but an empty

Major league comets whirl out of the

vanish below the horizon whence they
came. The history OF their passage may

success.
Not day passes during the American
League season that Manager Mack does
not call a meeting of his players to talk
over the defeat or the victory of the day
previous, and to outline the plan OF cam
paign for the next game. It matters not
to Connie IL his team is high and dry in
first place or If It is fourth, 100 points
behind the lead, or even in the second
division, with no chance OF winning the
pennant-those meetings must be held.
Just before the sason opens each year
Mack calls session OF his men and ex-
plains TO them Just what he expects OF
them. He informs them that their at
tendance at the meetings is as important
as on the ball field. Just to emphasize
his remarks he announces that failure 10
attend a meeting will be followed by a
fine. Mr. Mack explains further that he
does not know everything about base
ball, and invites suggestions from all OF
his players. The newcomers are a little
backward az the start. but when encour-
aged to do so by Mack. they respond with
suggestions that often prove valuable TO

Comics curfew bell rings al midnight
He does not believe in insisting that ball
players retire at 10 or II o'clock, as they
are almost regular attendants of the
theaters, and as they sleep until s
o'clock in the morning, he figures that
eight hours rest Is sufficient
The new peerless leader has never
conntenaneed any boisterous players. He
offers no objections TO a player drinking
glass or two OF beer. but woe be unto
the athlete who becomes tipsy. The fine
line of talk handed out by Mack often
sobers the player for ali time to come. ="
