TINE lighting out of a worlds
championship battle between
l. two baseball teams that have
..,..l,esed the competitors in their
oasnrcttve leagues no doubt brings
90, IA The minds of the enthusiastic
s..u,,vers of the game-it certainly
5oes to the members of the teams
the question;
what makes winning ball
club" e.
u,u trv to answer that ques-
+ion as best | can.
In the first place, l believe that
The most important thing of all is
that the members of the athletic
.,rgregation which is to represent
..i,,. must be club and team.
A. a club" they must be all
frfards, all good fellows together.
They rpust have pride in their or
,,,Dization. There must be no jeal-
o,sies no discussions. Every man
should regard every other man
urether he is a regular or sub
sffure-as. his pal, as a man he'd
s,fol, to through thick or thin.
am mighty glad to say that the
NV York National league club
men feel just that way. We all
have on our visiting cards, after
orr names. the words, New York
Giants" and, believe me, l don't
mind saying that every one of us
feels a little swelling of the chest
when he hands one of those cards
out
Giants" Means Guarantee.
The words New York Giants"
mean not only that we're members
of Il baseball organization that's
the best in the country, but they're
guarantee that each of us is a
regular manor else we wouldn't
be able to sport.
As club" we're proud to be-
long to the Giants as a society man
in New York is to say that he's a
member of the Union. or Knicker-
booker. or the Brook. We share
our troubles and joys together, and
like it.
That perhaps, is the first requi-
