me recall an incident in that Trimming

By Hughey Jennings.

No coward ever made a success of
base ball. The first great requisite to
success in the game is nerve. l have
seen players with the speed of Cobb.
with the terrific hitting strength of
Crawford, with the grace of Chase. and
they did not make good. They lacked the
prime essential. stoutness of heart. They
wavered when the crisis came. l have
seen wizards of the game CULVER in the
heat of battle and lose their cunning
They didn't last long; they never do.
To begin with, of course. a man must
have the natural ability to hit. field and
run. And then comes Imagination. Give
me the player who can conceive plays,
who thinks all the time he is in the
game-and who doesn't stop thinking
when it is over, but keeps his mind on it
and goes over every play of the after
noon, recalling how he made this mis-
take an dhow he could have avoided it.
and of how he pulled off that play and
the reason he did it.
Must Love Game.
The ball player who doesn't love his
game isn't worth his salt. The man who
doesn't feel a thrill of real joy perco-
lating through his system when he hears
the bang of the bat against the ball or
the shout of the umpire calling him safe
as he dives for the bag isn't a ball
player. He's getting away under false
pretenses.

as hard once he donned his uniform. A

the games year ago. AS | recall It, we
