The whales when killed are brought

Norwegian companies (Solvesen's) is
erecting a base on Deception Island
adequate for trying out the whole

TO WIN BALL GAMES

essary' to Succeed.

ITO win ball games" said Joe
Tinker, "a manager must be dead
game fighter.
IF a bit of yellow shows above
his collar button, it's all over-his
chance has gone a-glimmering. Nc
Graw and Chance are game men, al
ways have been, always will be-
and their men will follow them
through to flags. Understand, when
/ say "a lighter don't mean
man who nags and barks at UNI
pires. mean a leader who isn't
afraid of the other team; who isn't
afraid of the percentage that may
be against him-and who isn't
afraid Of his own men, either.
"A game pitcher is the man who
can see the big slugger coming up
with the bases damned, and say
Maybe this guy is a hitter, but he
hasn't hit it yetEand he isn't going
to hit this one A game batter is
the boy who sees the fast one COM
ing through and grins as he steps
forward. instead of pulling back.
And a game manager is one who
doesn't curl up and play dead when
they are killing his pitcher, or when
the infield is throwing crazy, or his
men can't seem to bat halfsize
single. That's the McGraw and
Chance pattern, and that pattern is
the one that wins"
And-Joe might have added-the
successful leader Is the man who
is not only game, but whose players
are ready to follow him clear
through because they are with him
heart and hand. Hank O'Day was
a game man. He had shown that
in all the years of his umpiring.
Henry was a brave man and man
whom not a soul could bluff-but
Henry couldn't win his players.
It's all in the fiber and the bone.
Just a little line to show-just
little flash to tell a thing or two
something that will flash the bright
light for half a moment on the
make-ups of two men: Said they to
Hank O'Day one morn: There's a
big statesman coming into town.
The Kenna record. (Kenna, Roosevelt County, N.M.) 190?-1924, 1913-05-09

Mr.. O'Day, will you go and help re-
ceive him." And from the sphinx
sulen words: Him! Who's he? If
he wants to see me let him come
to the hotel!"
And just the other day they told
Joe Tinker that a noted man was
coming to town. "Will you go to
the station, Mr.. Tinker? Will you
help receive him when he comes p"
You bet WILL" came the smiling
answer. What time does his train
get in?"
A good man and a game man, too
was Hank O'Day-but the iron
mask of the umpire had clamped
its hands too many seasons on his
square, hard-chiseled face and held
back the speech of human courtesy
Too many seasons Hank ODay had
stood out there in the open, casting
the grim scowl upon the players,
turning them back with sullen glare
and sharp. short. singing words
He couldn't soften-he couldn't win
his players If he strove for years.
And now comes Joe Tinker with
the ready tact and CHEEKY smile
with the courtesy that moderates
the keenest sting, with the diplo-
matte speech that cheers them on
and leads them up and upward. He
knows baseball from the practiced
years of keen experience. So. per.
chance, did Hank O'Day-but Tink-
er knows how to say thing and
o'Day could never say it without
grating on the ear and rasping on
the SOUL
