TEAM WAS KEPT Up
BY JUST TWO THINGS
Harmony and Ambition Re-
sponsibIe for Nationals Sue
cess, Say Grif and Henry.

Clark Griffith and John Henry told the
secret of the Nationals success last sea-
son to an attentive crowd of Y. M. c. A.
boys last night. The youngsters absorbed
the news given them by the manager and
his great catcher in what almost amount
ed to wonderment. Both Griffith and
Henry made short speeches.
Henry said that the main secret OF
the success of the team lay in the fact
that perfect harmony existed. He said
that there was not sign of discord, and
all the men pulled together during the
entire year. He ended his remarks with
these words:
1T just carries out the idea of sticking
together and sticking to it, which will
land you boys on top when the time
comes just as 1t landed the Nationals
on top, or mighty near 1T, last season..
What made our team last year." de-
clared Manager Griffith. was ambition
and enthusiasm. Every player was up
on his toes all the time. Every one or
them wanted to do something, not for
himself but for the team. That made the
harmony that Mr.. Henry has told you
about. You can't expect success without
ambition, on the base bail diamond or Off
of it, You boys keep your ambition up
and keep your habits good and you re
bound to succeed in big way.

The signing of Jim Thorpe. the Carlisle
Indian. by. Manager McGraw of the
Giants is not bad business move, even
though the Indians salary is around the
MISREPRESENTATION mark. Thorpe cost
nothing to secure and he has the advan-
tage over other recruits joining a major
league team in that he will be an attrac-
ton.
There is a variance of opinion as to
'Thorpe's ability as a ball player, but
while it is hardly to be expected that he
will be able to supplant any of the regu-
lars on the team, for all that he stands
chance of developing under the sort of
handling he will have, being a wonderful
athlete. Thorpe will have an advantage
over many a youngster who breaks in.
What little experience he has had in base
ball has been of a rather versatile ma
ture He has played nearly every posi-
ton, so that he has not been developed for
any special one. So wise manager as
NIcGraw will not be long in determining
Just where Thorpe should be played. and
when he is forced to give his attention to
one position he may develop rapidly.
Half the world is laughing at America
for going into such q foment over the
Thorpe affair. British papers. comment
ing on the matter. take very tolerant
view of Thorpe's offense. Some OF them
can't even see where playing little sum-
mer base ball for pin money has the
slightest Connection with track and field
athletics-a sphere in which Thorpes
amateurism is undOubted.
And when sour old Britain can see no
harm in anything American, we must be
hewing rather close to the line If the
A. A. t. should disqualify Sheppard for
receiving pay for his Olympic articles, it
ought to adopt the Connecticut blue laws
as its code and elect Mrs. Grundy presi-
dent.

American League club calling for his
services next season.
The contract was first received at the
Office of President Hirsig Of the Nashville
club with the request that it be forward
ed to Roy. and it was consequently re-
turned to the postman with instructions
to deliver the letter at the farm where
Walker is prisoner.

expenses OF the boys trial.

The jury brought in a verdict of ten
years in states prison, but when the ap-
peal from his decision came up before
Judge Neil he reversed the jury's SEN
tence, claiming that it was excessive and

and fixed the penalty at ninety days or

Roy has served about one month of his
sentence, which will make his term ex.
pire about March 10, so that will give
him plenty Of time to report to the Maps

Walker, on account of his magnificent

him for the long grind next season. He
