This spirit of youth predominates
with team of kids, or players who
are not standing on the brink of
oblivion, so to speak. Those members
of the Phillies who were with the
Braves last year insist that stage
fright was moro apparent, and ulti-
mately effective, in the camp of the
Athletics than with the Braves at any
stage of the worlds series. Whitfield
often says that the start of the first
game in Philadelphia reminded him OF
circus.
"The blowing of horns seemed to
drown out the sounds we were &C
customed to hear from the stands,
Whitfield said Then again. the
Braves realized how they had been
compared with the Athletics. With
them it was a case Of do or die 1t
meant a whole lot to win; it would
not be an unexpected or serious blow
to lose. They were in there to fight
and had no time for stage fright. The
situation was not half so trying as

FINANCIAL and COMMERCIAL

New York, April 16.-Apart from a

which was most conspicuous in Vari-
Gus industrial and equipment issues,

TALLY two-sided. That is, the buying
of specialties frequently was offset by

After one weeks practice, Coach
Overhagh has developed a smooth
working combination in both the out
field and the int1eld that will be quite
noticeable before the season ends.
The catching department, which has
been a rather weak department in the
last few years, is well taken care OF
this season by Chick Stanley, wee
youngster who shows that he has the
right goods in him. both with the club
and the pegging ability.
The twirling staff consists of the two
veterans. Brickley and Benjamin, who
with a little more coaching will develop
into classy hurlers.
Captain Young, Mulkins, Shea, STAN
ley and J. Hull form the infield COM
bination, while the gardens are admir-
ably looked after by H. Hull, C. Grove
and Brogan.

National league game.
1t is the silent intensity of a crowd
which wears on the nerves Of a player
more than the yelling, excited mob,
in the opinion of Moran and the Phil
lies. 1t is when the throng virtually
is quiet that chance remark, such
as Take him out!" hurled at the
pitcher by a lone voice, will break
down confidence and destroy nerve
quicker than a million voices Shrek
ing in unison.
The Worry of the Old Pitcher.
''The Unborn fear that he will be-
taken out of the box in a league gaIne
against q rival club is in most cases
responsible for the wildness Of a
veteran" Pat Moran declared. For
instance, a pitcher like Mathewson
might be going along for three or four
innings moving down the Phillies in
rapid order. Then comes the round
when he is a bit uncertain about his
control, OF is found for two or three
solid, hits. Immediately the realiZa-
ton comes to him that the opponents
have taken his measure. That fore
sight of defeat upsets his nerve. It
is the nearest approach to what may
be called stage fright that the veteran
twirler ever suffers.
