Let me read you some OF these
editorial comments upon my inaugu-
raj message he said.
81 was very glad 10 have him do
this. for IL was pleasure to listen
TO him when reading. since he had an
unusual facility for reading aloud. IL
was a part OF that wonderful elocu.
tionary gift which explains some OF
his effectiveness as a public speaker.
Il confess I was a little astonished
TO see the interest the President took
in the editorial comments. He would
read a paragraph OF an editorial and
then say that he was certain that
that prticular newspaper would ap-
prove what he had said or else would
say that he could have predicted that
some other newspaper would criticise
some other part OF his address. / re-
member his saying after reading part
OF an editorial OF a New York news
paper. IT WIS rather a smart edito-
rial trick TO pick out one part OF my
address and make II appear as II ev-
erything that had said In the address
conceded with the views OF the editor
or that newspaper
l asked him II he made a habit OF
reading the newspapers, and he told
me that no man in public life could
adequately meet his responsibilities
unless he made himself familiar with
public opinion as that was voiced in
the newspaper press. He furthermore
intimated 10 me that he found IL more
advantageous 10 read the newspapers
whose policy was different from his
own than To cOnfine himself 10 those
which were OF his own political faith
He wanted 10 know what his political
adversaries thought and 10 find out
how they expressed their thought.
i think that IN this respect Nc
kinney was different from his predn-
cessors. who. have understood. never
cared very much for newspaper com
ment. On The other hand. he and his
successor. President Roosevelt were
alike in tho carefulness With which
hey followed newspaper comments.

BROOKLYN-"Bad Bilr' Dahlen's
dangerous Dodgers are the surprise of
the baseball world of 1913-in fact,
many baseball experts are of the OPP
inion that Brooklyn will see pennant
this year. The team has been play
ing classy ball since the season open
ed not only in felding, but on the
bases and at the bat. The addition OF
Stengel to the outfield has done lot
to strengthen Dahlen's forces. Some
critics believe that his acquisition was
the making of the team. They declare
that the young man has supplied just
what the team lacked year ago,
when it was the football of; every 9TH
er bunch on the circuit. 1t is often
the case that a single ball player
spells the difference between clubs
high and low estate. The pitching
staff is one of the strongest in the
National league. Rucker, Ragon, Al
len, Yingling, Stack and Curtis pre-
sent a formidable array of twirling
talent. The team has three good
catchers in Miller, Irwin and Phelps.
The outfield-Wheat, Moran and STEM
GELS one of the best in the old
league. Daubert, Cutshaw, Fisher and
Smith comprise one Of the smartest
young infields in the National league.
Dahbert is the greatest first sacker
in the game. Watch the Dodgers,
say the Brooklynites. ~.

HAMPTON AND JOY
QUIT IN GOOD
STANDING

Barney Joy and Bill Hampton are
no longer on the so-called black list
of the Oahu League. At a meeting of
the organization held Wednesday
night, these players asked for their
their request was granted, and they
withdrew in good standing.
1t seems that there was some sort
of misunderstanding with this pair,
as to the exact terms Of the recent
bylaw passed by the league, which
forbade any of its players to partici-
pate in outside Sunday games. Joy
and Hampton wished to quit the
league, but wanted to do so with a
clear slate, and by the action of the
directors the other night, they have
done so. .*.. -"
1t is rumored that Manager Paresa
of the Portuguese had his eye on the
pair, and that he was ready to offer
inducements which would prove quite
acceptable to the former Star and Ha-
wall players However, il Joy and
Hampton obtained their release with
any such idea in view, it was quickly
nipped in the bud, for President Chill
lingworth expressly ruled that both
men would be ineligible to play for
any league club during the remainder
of the season.
There is a chance that further fric-
ton will be avoided by not playing the
postponed game scheduled for July
Is. unless it is necessary to determ-
inc the winner of the first half of the
series. Then the opening of the Sec
ond half could be put off for couple
of weeks, thereby having no conflict
with the Sunday dates of the STAN
ford team. At any rate, that is the
dope that is being handed round by
those in the know, and on the face
it seems to be as good solution to
the muddle as any. . =. -.

One of the axioms of the sporting

tradition and history have backed up
this truism manfully. An exception

alike to the AtnIetics, and 1t will re-

their winning play.
The other clubs apparently realize
this, for they are making desperate
efforts to strengthen their weak
spots. Recently Detroit purchased
PITCHER Grimes and First Baseman
Burns from the Ottumwa club of the
Central association; st. Louis paid
$500 for Shortstop Flanagan of the
san Diego team, and Manager Chance
dropped Pitchers Clarke and Klepfer
to make room for other players he is
trying TO procure. Scouts from every
club in the league are running down
alleged phenomenons in the minor
leagues.

often they had had been called upon
to go to the mound in the eighth or
ninth inning to save a comrade and
how they succeeded in doing without
getting any credit on their average.
Pitcher often Loses Credit.
Often during season a team will
pile up a half dozen runs in the early
innings and the opponents will be
blanked. Then along about the sew
enth or eighth the pitcher will de-
yelop a wild streak and three runs will
be chalked up before he can settle
down. The manager will Withdraw
the twirler who started the game and
send in a pinch pitcher Possibly
there will be three on the bases when
he starts and it is up to. him to pre-
vent them from getting home. He
does it and the game is eventually
Won.
That pitcher, who has performed a
great feat, does not get any credit in
the averages. The finger who was
withdrawn is given the victory. But
if the relief man is happy after the
game and satisfied that his team won,
consider him winning player. Fur
thermore, | consider him a star who

OF course, there are plenty of pitch

HISDEFINITION
OF STAR PLAYER
syY COBB.

When ball player starts to discuss
what constitutes a star, he is up
against hard proposition, isn't he?
Every man in the game strives to get
columns of space in the newspapers
and make his name known to every
man, woman, boy and girl in the
world Some succeed and are stars,
indeed. Others are stars, but their
light is hidden under bushel. Il
At the outset, let it De understood
that | am not going to be personal in
this article. | am just going to give
my plain, unvarnished opinion of q
star of the diamond. If you can find
one playing the game you may pick
him. I'm not going to help you.
Must Be Winning Player. :. H.
First of all. to be star a ball play
Ell. must be winning player That
word winning covers a lot of ground

If he's gritting his teeth and saying

II he's whispering, Its up to NE
TO get hit now or my average will
go down several points" then he's
nothing more than an individual star
Managers want ball players to bat
800 if possible and steal 100 bases a
season if they can do It when thefts

and think that man can't strive to
break records But if he places his
Individual honors before the winniDg
of games for his club then he is not a

There have been in baseball pitch
ers who on the official averages pub
iished at the finish of the season did
not have a record that one would pay
any attention to. Yet they were stars
IN way. The records did not show
