The Membership.
So far as the membership is con-
cerned, it consists of but 5S5. During
the year there were go new members
elected but there was loss by resig-
nation of six. We now have as mem
bers, firms, corporations and individ-
uals who realize the advantages of the
chamber, and who will undoubtedly re-
main faithful in supporting it in every
way possible.
To the incoming board Of directors
I take the liberty of recommending that
an active membership campaign be in
augurated.
Agricultural Work. =
As chairman of the lands and agri-
cultural committee, George r. lie Baron
has done most excellent work. He
was instrumental in interesting the
community in the bringing of dairy
cattle to the valley and the raising of
hogs also, which will tend to make the
farmer Independent and self support
ing. A campaign was started and fair
" well carried through for the use Of
valley products by the housewives Of
the city. Half q dozen lectures were
held at the chamber of commerce by eX-
perts from the New Mexico College of
who spoke on various sub
jects of great interest to valley farm
ers.
Plans are being made for running
excursions to Elephant Butte dam dur
ing this year, to enable a great many
visitors to get a glimpse Of this enOr-
nous project, which must of necessity
be of interest to everybody.
Fort Bliss Enlargement.
The enlargement of Fort Bliss is con-
stanly progressing. and the war de-
partment undoubtedly recognizes the
peculiar position held by Ell Paso, max
ing it a particularly proper place at
which to station permanently a large
body Of troops. Good work in this di-
rectiOn is always being done by the
chamber of commerce, ably assisted by

placed in position to attract some of
the more important conventions, must
be able to offer a hall of sufficient size

use their best efforts to bring about

Managing With the Second Guess

/ Stallings, on the other hand, insisted on
pushing his team just as hard as il II
was still fighting for the pennant
Such a system as that adopted by the
Boston leader was severely criticised
on all sides. Early in July the Boston
club had been in last place. 1t was a
bitter struggle to work from last place
to a pennant winner, and most fans be-
lieved that Stallings was acting un-
wisely in not giving his veterans a rest.
Throughout the greater part of tho
season, three pitchers. James, Rudolph
and Tyler, had shouldered the burden
Of Boston's responsibilities. Stallings.
in working three men in rotation. had
slightly defied the belief of most mod
ern managers that every fourth dav
is the proper system of working a
pitcher to get the best results. After
having worked his star trio so hard,
it was believed that he would at least
give these players a chance to take
things easy with the pennant won, but,
instead, he kept using them in their
regular turn, although he would often
curtal the days work to five innings.
Most fans believed that when StalIings'
team went into the big series it would
be stale because it had been driven
too hard.
Then Smith Broke Leg.
On the final day of the National
league season, the baseball world was
over the wire that third baseman Smith
Of tho Boston club had broken his leg
sliding into second base in a game
against Brooklyn. Those critics who
had conceded Boston a slim chance to
win saw that chance vanish with the
injury to Smith, who had been a very
valuable man to the Boston club in its
great uphill battle for the National
league championship. The wise men
who insisted that Stallings was using
the wrong system in driving his players
to the very finish pointed to the injury
to Smith as proof OF the fact Smith in
jured his leg in the usual manner
started to slide, saw that he did not
need to hit the ground. tried to stay up
his spikes caught. and the leg was
broken Smith had broken his leg in

In the second game Of the double
header, the last Of the season. Stallings
put team in the field which lacked
many OF the regulars It was just
such team that most critics and fans
insisted he should have been using for
the past week. 1t was pointed out that
Stallings had discovered his error too
late. IT was commended that he should
have allowed the stars to take it easv.
and that he should have insisted that
they take no hard chances on the bases.

for his methods. Even his most loyal
supporters failed 60 see the wisdom of
The system that had resulted in the in
jury TO Smith almost on the eve of the
worlds series. At the time no one
knew the real reason that Stallings had
for shifting his system at the very
last minute and using substitutes after
the damage had seemingly been done
Here is how Stallings later explained it:
He Showed His Team.
The injury to Smith probably wor-
ried me more than anyone else in the
big United States I realized that it
already had greatly affected the spirit
Of my team. 1 knew chat some drastic
measures would have to be resorted 10
in order to get the men back to proper
lighting spirit When l walked into the
club house between games I informed
practically all my regulars that they
were out Of the game. I told them that
I wanted to show them in the second
game that injury to Smith would have
no effect on our chances. A scrub team

with the proper spirit, is what I i'm
pressed on the boys. The team I put
in the field tho next game was one Of
the worst looking ball clubs that ever
played major league ball. Catchera
were in the infield and pitchers in the
outfield, yet that club Went out and
wRllOped Brooklyn to .. hadn't
changed my system, as most people
thought; l merely shifted at the last
moment to prove to my ball players
that one mans loss could not wreck
a ball team. The way the substitute
club beat Brooklyn restored the con-
fidence that the injury to Smith had
destroyed"
