MoleSworth Sacrificing the individual for team work. Eliminating self com pletely and having the success of the entire team at heart I can define 1t no better than by quoting the old adage which says: All for one one for all That's the main thing.'i
 'The luck has a great deal to do with winning" MT. Molesworth continued
 Are you superstitious? I asked quickly.
 "I don't mean that" he corrected Not hoodoo or superstition, but-well here's what luck is to a ball team: One day the players hit the ball hard and on the nose, but line drives go straight into the fieders' hands, Next day the line drives all fall safe for singles doubles and triples. They, fall between the outfielders, or go through the in- field. That's luck. You can't account for it, but it's there with a Vengeance"
 "Aggressiveness is another tremendous asset in winning at baseball" MT. Moles- worth said. "rhe team has got to be on tip-toes all the time. It can't wait for things to happen. It's got to make them happen. Do you see? Then the break of the game is another big thing to un- derstand and grasp. Every team has one or two, even three or four chances to win game. It's up to them to take advantage of it. If they don't see it then they lose, if they do and jump right in and take the bull by the horns the yic- tory belongs to them'
 'Is that up to the manager?' I asked.
 "No-not always" said MT. Molesworth. Sometimes he can't get to his men, then it's up to them. A ball players got to think quickly; to be Johnny-on-the-sp We on the diamond don't have the op- portunity for sober second thought, like you newspaper people have. You can see the next day exactly how the run might have been pulled out that would have saved the game, but in the two or three seconds that are allowed a ball player 1t takes quick wit and an extraordinary amount of nerve to distinguish the op- portunities and take advantage of them'
 "A manager can't win, no matter what they say, if he hasn't a good team" Mr Molesworth said after pause. And when he's got a good team he's not good manager if he cant see he's got one. That's the secret of Connie Mack's suc- cess and McGraws They appreciate their men and realize their qualifications. Then, too, it takes a good packer for a ball team to prosper. and I want to say right here that Mir Rick Woodward comes up to all the plans and specifications as own CT and bacler* He's one of the finest sportsmen in the United States today. and he's game as they maye 'em and he's got a big heart and he's magnani- nous and kind and the most apprecia- tive. man of what his men do. so how could they help giving him their best services under the circumstances? 'They couldn't, that's all" I agreed Everybody takes off their hat to MT Woodward for bringing baseball up to the highest standard here-and his gen erosity and wholesome encourag cement of the greatest of sports"
 Baseball is business proposition. just like any other organization" Mr. Moles- worth said presently. "and the men who
