Explaining the Why

Now, this is not to say that Lajoie is
a brainer ball player than Evers, Collins
or Cobb. There isn't any such now ex-
tant. But in studying Lajoie's play we
could never sec that he was trying to
do any thinlsing-or trying to make any
certain play In advance. He merely made
It at the right time without thought.
So one day we put the matter UP to
him, to ind out whether or not no ever
thought out q play in advance-to know
Just what no must do when the time
arrived.
NO" he said, 1T merely make the play
ns It comes. When ball is batted to
a man there is but one right place to
make the play. and he should be able
to know that place without wasting time
thinking about It. BY the time the ball
has reached me, the flash Of an eye shows
what tho base runners are doing, and the
rest is easy. Any man who has to think
out play has his mind taken off the
ball, and this leads to good many
fumbles and misplays. When man Is
eating he doesn't have to stop and think,
does he, just how high he shall lift his
fork at every bite or how wide open he
must hold his mouth7"

SPORTSMEN HERE
ARE PLANNING A
NEW ORGANIZATION
Outdoor League of Pennsyl-
vania May Be Launched
Within Month Enlist
United Sportsmen Strength

Hunters, fishermen. nature lovers, ca
noeists and persons interested in the well
fare of the forests, streams and birds
and wild life generally in Pennsylvania.
are back of the plan to form an entirely
new organization to cover the State and
provide actual lIve-working bodies in
every community.
There are several existing organiza-
tlons, but their form of government lacks
ties between the individual members and
the State organizations, and thus has
greatly hampered the usefulness OF the
organizations.
The new organization, to start with, is
expected to enlist at once practically the
entire strength of the United Sportsmen
west of the mountains. and this is esti-
mated at % organizations, with total
membership Of close to 1890.
1t Is understood that the new organiza-
ton will be launched formally within the
next 30 days. While the name, the Out
Door League of Pennsylvania, has been
suggested and met with favor, the title
has not yet been selected.
The plan of organization will be based
on the established civic divisions of the
State, namely community, county and
State leagues. closely affiliated with the
representatives to the county governing
bodies elected by the local clubs or or
ganizations and those of the State gov
erning body elected by the county or
ganizatlons
The work OF the new association will
be broad enough to attract more than
hunters and fishermen, covering the
whole field of wild life conservation and
recreation.
The counties in the western end of the
State also furnish the greater proportion
of the hunters license money, and the
men who are paying this want to see the
State establish protected areas" IL nee
essary on leased lands in large areas to
which all hunters will have access. In
the centres of these large areas the game
can be propagated by the Game Commits
sion for restocking the covers about and
planting in other sections where the game
Is depleted.

The Genius Of Instinct

Lajoie, plainly, has always had the
genius of instinct. He simply knew. He
had an amazing intuition-the most re-
markable in baseball He could never
understand why a man should make a
wrong play. "There was only one play
to make" he would say. "why not make
it9"
Tho same instinct carried In his mighty
batting. We've seen him let strike
cross the heart OF the plate without
shifting his bat. and then on tho next
pitched ball, two feet wide. suddenly
lurch over and drive white streak of a
hit to the fence. In place Of waiting to
sec whether or not the ball would be a
strike, Larry would make up his mind
to swing on the next one. and SO would
be set for tho wallop with all hesitation
wiped out.
Under such conditions we have seen
him twice. where the pitch was many
feet wide. reach over and throw his bat
at the ball for short singles over first
base.
Last season ths eminent Frenchman
dropped to .25s. but that season was a
nightmare campaign for every man on
the Napland roster He is more than
likely to pass 300 again this year-for the
greatest Batting Eye that the game has
ever known isn't quite dimmed yet. He
has been over tho hurdles for 10 years,
but wen still travel long way to see
him mako the hard ones look easy. and
hit 'em where they amt. or where they
wished they weren't.

The Main Lnioie Detail

But above all this, there was one other
point which impressed us most-and
which still Is en- outstanding part of the
Frenchman's career. We have seen
Lajoie in at least 300 ball games-possibly
more. We have kept track of him for
10 years.
But we have vet to see him make a
bonehead play: and we have yet to hear
Of him making one. We have seen bVers
make a sllp or go, and Johnny Is more
brains than anything else except courage
We have seen Collins, the alert, mako
his clip, and we have seen Cobb outguess
even himself in trying to start something.
But as far as we have known, Lajoie
has been nawless in this respect.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1915-01-12

some experts indirectly profess to see
IN the acquisition Of Lajoie the decline
OF Maclk's genius in picking the good
ones. Reams of paper have been used
mp to tell all about how good Lajoie used
70 be and how poor he wes last year, As
II in respect for Connie Mack. most of
the ezperts have avoided pointing out he
