pitcher Duggleby, odtner; and the thoughtless
young Cub, thinking to him, had sneered that
expression most hated of the ball players the epithe

Players are affected by it differently. Some it will
break unnerve, throw into the disorganzaton of
sentiment. Others it will stffen reincarnating lost
powers. Duggleby stiffened. He had rather have
beaten Chicago that afternoon than to have pitched
Philadelphia to worlds championship. In him was

AND now for clarity let agree to divide theme
Let us say that baseball psychology may be treated
in two broad divisions. And we shall call them:
l. The deliberate influencing of player or a team.
2. The unconscious influencing of player team.
Obviously the case of Mathewson belongs in the first
group. The Giants worked upon him deliberately. But
with Duggleby his disastrous regeneration came from

President Wilson and his advisers
held that Judges serve until their

SHOOT TOO WELL;
TARGET SMASHES

There's such thing as being too
accurate in firing mortars for target
practice. This morning when the
6Sth and 143rd companies of coast
artillery fired for the second service
practice, the nineteenth shot from the
mortars landed squarely on top Of the
pyramidal- target used as an aiming
point, and towed some 5000 yards off
shore. The framework with its flut-
tering flag disappeared completely off
the face Of the waters, and with only
one more shot to fire, 1t was neces-
sary for the tug to come in for a new
target, causing a long delay.
1t is estimated that the mOrtars
made about the same number of hits
today as at the first practice, when is
out of 20 shot went home. 1t has
been found impracticable for the
Kan battery to hold night practice
and so, according to the regulations,
a second day test was made. Gener-
eral Funston, Colonel Rafferty,, and a
number of other officers watched the
firing today, and commented on its
excellence.
Good Work at De Russy.
