By Umpire Billy Evans.

That the professional ball player lack!
the proper spirit is the belief of many
fans.
Quite few base ball enthusiasts have
an idea that the men playing In the ma
jor and minor leagues care but little wht
wins.
majority of the rooters are OF thu
opinion that all the ball player think:
about is to play the game in order to carr
his salary They place him in the same
class with the carpenter. mechanic OF
any other skilled workman. who simply
puts in his eight or ten hours to complete
his days work. They labor under the
delusion that after the game is over the
player forgets all abou. the outcome, be-
ing equally satisfied with victory or de-
feat as the same compensation goes with
either.
One afternoon last year well known
college star dropped into my dressing
room to see me. He was fellow pos
sessinc far more than the average intel
,igence. vet he had the same -opinion Of
the professional players as many other
fans who never had the liberal advan-
fages of a college education, Whatever
they are.
al and that was surely a cOrking game
today but it seems to me as II the profes
sionals lack the proper spirit. he re-
marked "Wouldn't It be fine II the pro-
fessionals went into the game with the
came spirit and determination as the col
legians?"
General Opinion.
The opinion Of my college friend rea-
tive to the professional spirit is in COM
hot hold NJ
While it may be a trif1e hard to con-
vince them otherwise. such a belief is en-
tirely erroneous Having studied base
ball and a few other things not so i'm
portant at college myself. I'm rather IA
mtliar with the much heralGed college
spirit l must confess there is a big
difference between the college and pro-
fessional spirit, but it's my firm opinion
that the desire to win at any cost is as
strong. IL not stronger, in the professional
than the collegian.
True. the professional does not make
the show the collegian does. He per-
forms with a less display of enthusiasm
perhaps. yet the desire to triumph is as
nnnermost In the mind Of the corner lot
graduate as in the college high brow
With one base ball Is business. with
the other it is simply pleasure. The av-
erage college team plays as rule abou,
twenty games. the average professional
club takes part in 40 or more contests
IL the college teams played that many
games it is very possible that educated
hall tossers would reserve some of the
enthusiasm they cut loose in their very
short schedule. .
Take any dyed-in-the-wool base ball
fan who resides in any of the major
league cities, and III wager that he Will
be as loyal to his favorite club as any
college man is to his alma mater He
doesn't cheer In unison at signal from
the cheer leader. but nevertheless he
voices his sentiments IN behalf OF ilis
favorite club. even though lie IS in the
very hotbed Of the rival rooters. 1t takes

in Every Game Played.

yourself when such expression may cause
you to draw good trouncing. That s
some spirit
Any base ball fan who believes that
!, the professional player is not chock
full of real spirit has another guess
coming. To such men l would recon-
mend that they secure a position as
umpire, where they can hear what is
happening on the diamond. Even bet
ter would be. to get permission to visit
the dressing room OF some club after
they had lost an extra inning game
the regulation period. Such a visit
would dispe1 any such belief about the
non-existence of spirit. 1t might pos
sibly be rather dangerous place for
a stranger to enter under such condi-
tions, however.
Warm Times in Clubhouse.
Any time a ball game is lost through
poor work on the part Of some player
that unfortunate gentleman comes in
for a series of lectures on his arrival
at the clubhouse. The manager usually
starts the lecture, and the bat boy quite
often ends it.
THAT was grand exhibition Of think
ing you gave when you tried to pull
off that play" is hurled at some in
fielder who has slipped up on a point
that lost the game '1'll bet II some
one made an examination of your head

has tossed off the game Invariably

quickly as possible. He knows every-

are simply dwelling on the play in dis

Always There With the Wit.
The professional athlete does possess
as much spirit as the collegian. and, Incl
dentally. he has q much larger fund OF
wit. While he never fails to try to win.
he seldom misses the humorous part Of
the game.
There is a well known pitcher in one
of the major leagues. who last year was
pursued unrelentlessly by the Jonah man.
No matter how well he pitched, he< was
invariably beaten. for, as rule. his club
did little or no hitting behind him. and
usually went runless.
