ST. PAUL, Mimi, June 11.-Gifford
Pinchot, formerly chief forester, friend
and confident of Ex-President Roose-
velt, tonight brandished the "olg
stick" over the special interests,
castigated congress, roasted machine
politics, applauded insurgents, and
preached sermon on Rooseveltian
principles before the Roosevelt club
of this city.
He began with defiance to those
who sought to belittle conservation
and ended with a philippe against
3"politics for revenue only
Because the special interests are
in politics we as a nation have faith
in congress" he declared. "This is a
serious statement to make, but it is
true. 1t does not apply, of course, to
the men who really represent their
constituents, and who are making so
fine fight for the conservation of self
governments AS soon as these men
have won their battle and considered
their victory, confidence in congress
will return
But in the meantime, the people OF
the United States believe that, as a
whole, the senate and house no longer
represents the various interests by
whom they we're elected, but the spec
ial interests by whom they are con
trolled They believe SO because they
have SO often seen congress reject
what the people desire, and do instead
what the interests dmeand. And OF
this there could be no better illustra
tion than the tariff
Continuing, Pinchot nominated Sen
ator Nelson W. Aldrich, titular head
of the senate, for membership in the
undesirable citizenship club declar
ing that "at the very time the duty
on manufactured rubber were released
the leader of the senate, in company
with the Guggenheim syndicate was
organizing an international rubber
trust, whose charter made it also q

or shoot in unexpected directions. and
a quick eye and good pair Of hands
will save the team.
But there is much more to winning
than that No player can win by him
self. A team must have team work
to win at all. I think the big reason
for Pittsburg's success has been first
that we have played together a long
time and know each other and sec
ond, and greater, that every man Is
there to win for the team, no matter
what he may do himself. Last year
Gibson caught the greatest ball of any
catcher living, and he enabled all the
rest of us to play team ball all the
time, because he was in the team
work every minute. Besides Clarke
ia the greatest manager in the busi-
ness and great leader. No one
knows how good Clarke is until he has
played with him.
1t was team work and inside play
that won for US, and I think it Will
win again.

Confidence is the big thing, pitch

hard work. Those are the things
that make winning teams, and none OF
them is any good unless every man is
working together, helping each other
and studying the game every minute.
OF course l do not know as much
about it as the fellows who have
been in the big leagues for years, and
l realize that they have omething

things that were true when was
playing on a country team in Indiana
are true in the major league.

Is to be a good player. There must
not be any side interests after a
game starts. A fellow must go out
there and work and fight to the fin
ish-fght for runs and fight to stop
the other team. He must fight for
every inch of ground. But take 1t
for granted a player has that IN him
before he starts. No matter what his
position ne must study it from every
point, and study the men around him
what their habits are, how far they
can go to the right or left, whether
they take thrown balls we'll, whether
they hear quickly and will stop when
called upon. The fear of collisions
costs many ball games, especially
when the players are not familiar
with each other.
If a man is an inflelder he must
study the ground until he knows every
bump and soft or hard spot, as we'll
as study the batters. He must watch
every move Of the players on his own
team, and know, either from their
movements or their signals, what they
will do or try to do on the next play.
An 1nflelder ought to be a good Judge
of speed and distance, and to decide
instantly not only how bail will
bound, but how he will take it
whether between bounds or on the
high bound. In deciding he must
know the speed Of the runners. for

Bob Ung1aub, nrst-sacker OF the
Washington club, has been IN the
American league for close onto eight
years. During all that time he has
used but one bat, while for his hrst
base play he has had but one mitt.
His bat he guards as though it were
a priceless jewel. He does not lay It
with the other bats In front OF the
bench. but has it up in one corner
where he can keep his eye on it. He
does not use it in practise, but during

KEEP YOUR EYE ON The

GREAT sHORTSTOP AND BATTER
OF PITTsBURG CHAMPIONS BE-
LIEvES INSTINCT PLAYS
IMPORTANT PART.
BY "HANS" WAGNER.

Copyright, 1910. by Joseph B. Bowles.)
The secret of winning at baseball
Is to be found in the first order given
to the new ball player. 1t is: Keep
your eye on the ball." l believe there
is such a thing as the instinct for
playing the game, but the greatest
success comes from quick eyesight
and from never taking the eye of
the ball for a moment, whether bat
ting, fielding or running bases.
never have written anything about
baseball, and never have thought
much about why team wins or why
a player is winning player until
asked to tell how to win. It Is hard
er f. player to explain how he
wins han it is to win. / think, how
ever, after thinking it over, that the
eyesight has more to do with it than
anything else. 1t Is the quick eye and
the steady one that makes q man
a winner. This Is especially tue in
batting. The batter who faces a
clever pitcher is certain to be out
guessed by him the majority Of times.
There Is no way to overcome the
pitchers advantage except to have an
eye quick enough to see either from
the way the pitcher swings OF from
the way the ball comes, what is
pitched, and then have an eye quick
enough to enable him to follow the
oosnSe Of the ball.
In batting player should stand
firmly on both feet. It does not so
much matter what his position at bat
is, and he ought to take his most
natural position, but he must stand
on the balls of both feet to get the
force of his body, arms and shout
ders into the swing Of the bat. Every
batter has a different style, but the
good ones swing with steady drive,
backed up by the whole body. I think
there is lot in the way a man holds
his bat 1t is impossible to tell a
young player how to hold his bat. He
must use his own motion and grip.
He can, however. learn to shift his
feet in hitting.
The quickness of the eye is espe'
cially valuable in playing the hit-ande
run game, and being able to follow
balls that are curved away or pitched
away from the plate to let the catcher
throw out runners. The batter who
can follow those balls and hit them,
even If he does not hit them hard.
helps his team.
In fielding, the quick eye saves
many hits and errors in Judging bad
bounds. Perhaps one in five ground
