REGULAR PLAYING PUTS
CONFIDENCE In MERKLE

h Fred Merkle, the Giants first base
man, is a Toledo boy, and has been a
member of the New York National
league club since August, 1907. Until
this season Merkle was substitute,
playing both in the infield and outfield,
but now he is regular and one of
Manager McGraw's most valuable play
ers Merkle has covered first base ex-
ceptionally well this season and also
has been hitting in timely fashion. He
is about "a years old and began play
ing professionally with the Tecumseh
club of the Southern Michigan league
in 1907, the Giants buying his release
for $4,000. In 1908 Merkle had the
misfortune to fail to touch second in
a game played with the Cubs, this
omission practically costing the Giants
the pennant and interfering with
Merkle's work for long time. When
Tenney was crippled last year Merkle
covered first base in clever style, and
this season his work has been excep-
tionally good. Playing regularly
Merkle has gained lots of confidence
in himself and has practically forgot

which is the better way. If he does
those things and practises steadily
he will become a better ball player
and last longer in the business than
scores of men who are his physical
superiors at the game.
Another bit of advice for a young
player: There is a complaint that the
old players do not give the young ones
fair chance. This is not true. If
the young player does not get his
chance it is his own fault A young
player just starting with any club
must watch his private behavior as
closely as his playing. A fresh" ball
player, or a "swelled head" or one
who does not attend to business soon
finds that he is not popular and be-
gins to complain that he does not get
his chance. A player who joins a
club, watches and listens, sticks up
for his own rights and does not tram
pie on the rights of others, always is
welcome. A player in the modern
game is judged almost as much by
his conduct as by his playing. The
greatest mistake a young player can
make is to think that because he
makes successful start his success
is assured and to swell and cease
to pay close attention to business.
They ought to learn that baseball is
more than a sport and realize that 1t
is the most sportsmanlike Of all sports

THREE BITES
OF A DOG
+. .s -
: By DONALD ALLEN

( Major Singleton was an old bach
elor with money invested. He had
been a boarder at Mrs. Sherman's
villa for three or four years and they
looked up to and stood in awe Of
him.
The Widow Washburne was an
intruder at the villa. That is, she
was the last conner. She also had
money invested. She had to wait for
her husband to die before she could
become widow and have money in
vested and become boarder at the
Sherman villa.
Major Singleton didn't like it that
widow should be taken into the
house. He didn't like it before see
ing her, and he liked it less after
wards. She was not awed. She
didn't defer to him. She sought
the opinion of the f1oor-walker
boarder as often as that of the
major. The major was nettled, but
he was a gentleman. He went around
the corner to swear, but in the house
he was gracious and courteous. He
even played cards with the widow,
and turned the music as she played
the piano.
Mrs. Sherman was just congratu-
lating herself that the earthquake
had slanted off in some other direc-
ton, and the other boarders were
drawing long breaths of relief, when
the blow fell. The widow bought
poodle dog. She bought it because
life was dreary to her. She bought
it that her mind might not dwell on
the late Mr.. Washburne too much.
The major was out for walk in
the park when the dog arrived. He

LUCK is CHIEF ELEMENT
IN WINNING, SAYS STAHL
BOSTON AMERICANS FIRST SACK.
Err PLACES TEAM WORK SEC
OND AND HITTING THIRD
IN THE LIST.
BY "JAkE" STAHL.


Copyright, 1910. by Joseph B. Bowles.)
There are so many elements 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. 1t makes and breaks ball
clubs every season, and sometimes it
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
persistently hustles, that runs out
every ball at top speed, that tries for
possible to try, soon becomes lucky"
for the player who does that is
there ready to take advantage of
luck"
One sometimes wonders why, after
the middle of the season, some clubs
are SO easy to defeat and some so
hard. 1t Is luck again in another
form. The one club has been beaten
until it 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 Il on his toes
every minute, and 1t beats better ball
clubs through sheer hustle and con-
fidence.
These things are facts. There are
some clubs that are dangerous no mat
ter how many games they have lost,
and others that are done and out of
a race as soon as the luck breaks
against them for a short time. A
young ball player who wants to know
how to win can find the secret of it
In these statements, and any veteran
ball player will vouch for their truth.
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,
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

The major called the landlady to
his room and gave her an ultimatum.
Either he or the dog must go. Mrs.
Sherman temporized and fattered
and shed tears. It is the landladies
who can't do that that are sold out
by the sheriff. The dog was to be
chained up, and the major was to be
allowed a full hour at dinner to tell
war stories. It was this last conces-
sion that melted him. Indeed, after
three or four days he brought him
self to believe that he owed the
widow an apology. He entered her
room to make it, and that poodle
dog bit him for the second time.

The major hoped across the hall

McAIeer Changes His Tactics.

Jim McAleer has changed his sys-
tenn Of handling a ball team since ia
king hold of the Nationals During
the eight years that he was at the
head of the st. Louis team Jim had
the reputation of being driver He
seemed unable to overlook a players
mistake and handed out his criticism
on the ball field. The result was that
some of the players under him failed
to work up to their standard. Since
coming to Washington McAleer has
seen the error of his way. He has
changed entirely. No matter what sort
of play may come up and how faulty
may have been the judgment of one
of his men, there is never a call
from McAleer. He is resorting to en-
couraging tactics. Players are not
roasted for mistakes McAleer seldom
says a word to any of his men on the
field, unless 1t is to encourage them.
