Good Story on Hans Wagner.

Hans Wagner leaves it TO the house If
this wasn't a mean trick for one German
citizen to play on another. Here it is, as
Hans tells it:
Jake Beckley, the old first bsseman,
tried to work the old hidden ball trick
on me a half dozen times, or that's what
! thought he was trying to do. He would
stick the ball under his arm right before
my eyes.
Jake I said to him one day, there's
no use trying that old one on me- He
didn't pay any attention TO what I said,
and I grabbed the ball from under his
arm and threw it to right field, and then
cut loose for second base. The second
baseman had the ball waiting for me.
Jake had used a phoney ball to deceive
me-"

Frank Chances Method.

Joe Tinker tells a good story illustrat-
in6 the methods of Frank Chance. He
says that c. W. Murphy a year ago paid
$500 for a pitcher named Cook. When the
.youngster reported in the spring he was
backward about showing what he had.
Chance finally ordered him to the box
and Cook, taking his time, consumed
more than five minutes in delivering two
balls That was enough for the Peerless
Leader.
You're the LATEST guy I ever saw"
cried Chance, hotly. Get of the field and
take of your uniform. Never come back,
for If you do I'll have to give you
licking!" Cook was literally driven to the
clubhouse by Chance, and in spite of
Murphy's wild protest he was released
then and there.
Big Chief Wilson, of the Pirates. is a
great ball player, but Chance said last
year that he wouldn't take him as a gift
1t seems that one day Chance was spiked
and as he was removing his shoe Wilson
passed him with the remark:
II hope you are not hurt"
Chance looked up in surprise and
frOwned.
Wilson isn't the Kind of a man
want" remarked Chance to the Cubs
when he reached the bench. He should
have said:
- hope you lose your leg the next
timeT'

Johnny EVers Tells Characteristic
Story About Frank Chance-Bob
Fitzsimmons Still in Ring.
By WILLIAM PEET.

II Manager Clark Grirath, Of the Wash
ington baseball club, is unable to obtain
suitable training quarters in Charlottes-
Vile this coming spring, he probably will
take his baseball family to Richmond,
Va, and work out on the Broad Street
grounds OF the Richmond club during the
first three weeks in March.
Griff announced yesterday that under no
consideration would he consider Norfolk
or any of the so-called seaport towns.
He hopes to be able to send his players
to Charlottesville, but up to date no ade-
quate quarters have been located in the
college town and Richmond is Grif's next
best bet.
The principal drawback for Richmond
is that the Virginia State city is too much
OF a city, and the Old Fox wants his re-
cruits and regulars in a small hamlet
where all temptations are removed.
In Charlottesville last spring conditions
were ideal. The players were lodged in
one large house. Griff himself acted as
'outer guard" Training rules in the
strictest sense of the word were adhered
to- for the reason that Grtf himself saw
TO it that the men were in their beds at
II o'clock each night
II it should happen that adequate quar-
tiers could not be obtained in Charlottes-
vile, the Nationals manager will in all
probability take a flying trip to Richmond
and make arrangements with President
Bradley, of that club, for the use of the
ball park this spring.
No matter what happens the Washing
ton club will not go farther South than
Richmond, for Griff wants the men to
train in q climate as near like that Of the
Capital as possible. The Nationals would
be made dOubly welcome in Atlanta and
other Southern cities, but the Old Fox
cannot see it.
When March rolls around the Nationals
will be found working out In either
Charlottesville or Richmond.

Here's another fairy tale from the
West. At BatesHlle, Ind. Joe Benz,
butcher boy pitcher with Chicago White
SoN, is attracting the attention of the
natives for miles around just now by the
method he has adopted to gain control Of
his elusive splitter. He has a midwinter
training scheme all Of his own. which is
pitched in the yard back of his butcher
shop. There he has Installed a home
plate. on each side OF which he has
driven stakes the height OF an average
batter. Two strands of wire, one placed
at a height corresponding with the
dumb" batter's knees and the other
about neck high, stretched from one
stake to the other. Between these wires
ham bangles. and Benz uses the smoked
meat as the target by which he hopes to
gain control. hurting baseballs by the
hour when trade is slack in the market

Convention and Custom.

The strong influence on the lives OF
everyone of convention and custom is
remarkable. No one is entirely free
from them. How often do we decide
to do thing because convention de.
mands 1t or because it is the custom
without regard to whether 1t is right
or wrong.
We believe there is no more potent
influence in the lives of most people
than What will people think about
itF Certain conventions and customs
are all we'll and good. They often
keep weak people from doing the
wrong thing because they are afraid
OF the criticism that will follow. They
often keep people from indiscretions
and falling into evil habits because
they desire to retain the respect OF
their neighbors.
Too many people however have
their entire lives ruled by convention
And custom. They never examine
into the right and wrong Of question.
Their only concern is that their
acts will not meet with the disap-
proval Of the public. To be so bound
and gagged by custom is to have ones
moral standards lowered; their char
acter weakened and their lives made
narrow and Intellectual for good.
We believe in the people having
high moral standards, pure characters
and that they live clean, honest, USE
full lives. When the question Of
whether or not we shall do a thing
arises, we should first try TO find out
the right thing to do and then have
The News-Herald. [volume] (Hillsboro, Highland Co., Ohio) 1886-1973, 1912-06-27
the courage to do 1t.

the courage to do 1t.
Don't be afraid to do thing which
you believe is right because you think
someone will criticise you. No per.
son ever amounted to anything, ever
accomplished anything that was not
severly criticised at times. The man
or woman who does things is certain
at times to be condemned.
We believe that some people actual
ly pick their associates and companions
not because they like these people but
because they think 1t is the thing to
do: that it will help them in social
or business way. We have known
people who we're afraid to associate
with men and women whom they
liked because they thought 1t would
injure them in the eyes of others.
" hen man or woman has social
position that is so easily injured that
they must always be guarding and
defending it, they are not entitled to
it and it is not worth trying TO main
tain.
When we do what we think Is right
regardless OF custom or convention,
we are never lowered in the respect
and esteem Of people who are worth
while. Only small insignificant,
worthless, weak, narrow and selfish
people never violate custom or con-
vention.
No one can be a slave to custom
and convention and be real man or
woman. Pick your friends and COM
panions because they are real men
and women, because you enjoy their
companionship. Above all things do
not be a cad or a snob.
"And this above ALL
To thine ownself be true
And 1t must follow,
AS the night, the day,
Thou cans't not then
Be false to any man"
