Psychology and Defeat

In the opinion Of H. TAFT Rodier.
P. B.. C. c. and W. W. T.. the eminent
publisher. base ball expert and quip
manufacturer. there has been too
much stress laid on old man Hoodoo
and his son. Johnny Jinx. in connec-
tion with the remarkable success the
st. Louis club enjoys in its interclub
clashes with the Nationals. H. TAFT,
etc, contends that continued reference
to the Browns ability to upset the
hopes and aspirations of Clark Grif-
some mystic power beyond the ken Of
humans Is a contributing factor to the
pYrretuation of the condition COM
planned Of; that 1t serves to aggra-
vate the malady, as 1t were, and rem
der more impotent the efforts of the
victims to combat the scourge. 1.-THE
psychological aspects of the situation
deserve careful consideration" optnes
H. TAFT, in a learned manner. You
can't expect guy to hit If you keep
tellin' him he can't. or team to win
If you're always sayin' 1t won't. 1
tell you, we gotta cut out this 1inx
stuff"
We are inclined to concur in the
premise SO eloquently set forth by H.
TAFT In the long run it's the team
that plays the best ball and gets the
breaks" that wins. and it's the team
that wins that gets the breaks-it
makes them-so there you are. This
was true in a marked degree Of yes
terday's tussle at the local ball or
chard, at least. There was no suspf-
cion of jinx or hoodoo about the
method employed by the Prowns in
annexing the second game of the Sc
ries, to 0. The Browns simply
played better base ball than the Griffs
and won on merit. that's all. In the
first place. they had the advantage of
better pitching. sothoron was as ei-
fective as an eye-opener the morning
after the night before. while Johnson's
mound duties were prosecuted with
about as much success as the recent
Austrian drive.

The 1852 who forked over for the

there Is nothing suonormal about his

his. cardinal affliction has in no man

to swing futilely on all except three

Tribute to Clark Griffith

According to W. ]. Macbeth. who
conducts a column in the New York
Tribune, Washington Is repaying a
debt of gratitude 1t owes to Clark
Griffith. In today's issue he pays
tribute to the Nationals manager
that seems well worth presenting
here. It follows:
hangs over organized base ball be-
cause of inability to get any author
itative ruling as to how the work
or dght'' order IL to be applied to this
particular profession, the game has
more than held its own SO far this
season.
perhaps it is we'll for the health
of the game that the Washington
team has assumed such prominence
within the last few weeks. Clark
Griffith's Senators have been coming
with a great rush of late, and backed
by the wonderful work of four vet
sition to take advantage Of the slips
Of any of the closely punched pace
makers.
"The game. indeed, owes much t,,

Grifith. is putting up with a clAb
which. outside the box. pans out only

ington in these parlous times may
well make or break the national
pastime as applied profeasio haliy.
The signs from Washington as yet
have not been so menacing as to Gre
ate undue alarm.
"Official Washington. indeed. h:s shown
an indulgence toward the professional
sport which might well furni Sh a pat
tern for other hide-bound cit les of the
east. Official Washington aas recog-
nized the Sunday game and is proud Of

reation of Sabbath afternoons for the

Perhaps Washington has figured
that this commendable indulgence will

that the Capital City and the country
at large owe to tbs manager OF the
Senators
Certain It ID that Of all the benevolent
works Of charity coincident with tho
present world war none has called forth
greater patriotism or heartier effort
than that displayed by this same Clark
Grtnlth to make . success OF his bat
and bail fund.
For moro than year now, during
tho somewhat idle winter months, as
we'll as through the busy. summer
time the leader Of the Washington
American League club has applied
himself religiousiy to tho work OF
collecting money with which to
home with base ball paraphernaiia.
Hundreds OF thousands Of dollarsI

tributed throughout the many military
and naval camps In the United states.
And to Clark Grifnth's initiative In
the matter chief credit is due.
'-rhe greatest republic the world
has known has aligned itself with
right and justice in 2 fight FOR
democracy against militartsm and
autocracy. Who knows but that the
principles Of democracy may not best
bo advertised by the greatest OF all
democratic games? Clark Griffith
has embarked upon one Of the noblest
charities imaginable. In view OF
which none should begrudse his club
even tho highest possible honors OF

Clark Grimth's efforts to strengthen
his mound stan are bearing fruit At
least he 10 convinced this Is the case,
now that he has added Pitcher How
1ik to his corps. In announcing the
purchase Of Hovlik from the Wichita
team of the Western League Manager
Griflth today said:

this peace proposal are almost identical with those first preached to Russia and Rumania. And the world knows what happened to Russia after she had dis banded her armies and sat in at the coun- cil chamber at Brest-Litovsk. She lost half of her empire, and she will soon lose the other half The terms of these peace terms are as impossible as can be and it is certain that no allied nation will ever even dignity them by any notice whatever, to say noth- ing of an answer.

This column points with pride to that part of Major Douglas Bisbee speech in which he declared that unless we act quick ly we may have to face Russian soldiers fighting for Germany Always this column has contended that the Russian peril to the allies Is greater now than when she deserted the entente That we must act at once or 1t would be too late That this is no time to quibble with traitors to the allied cause That the bolshevik are German agents and sympathizers, body and soul, and are in supreme control of what little government there Is left in this accursed nation. All this piffle about Russia coming back or helping the allies is pure rot. When she comes back it will be under German field marshals if we do not strike from the east with the full aid of Japan, China, and even the Siberian wolves, if we can muster them. They cannot be worse for Russia herself than her accepted masters, the bol3hevik.

It is declared that the war drum IS beat ing throughout the empire of Japan and that the great little island is about ready to strike with million men. As to where she will strike no one knows, and no one will know until the blow is delivered. This is Japan's way But that she and the allies have reached an agreement of the part she is to play in the great war is almost cer- tain. And that her blow will be either in the Balkans or Siberia is also certain. It is said that Germany fears Japan more than all the other allies together in the east. The fierce energy and fanatical courage and per feet discipline of her soldiers are all well known to the German staff And then she is close enough to Siberia to pour her leqions into that land that the Hun IS get ting ready to stretch forth his hand and take and hold for his own.

 Military critics seem. to be unanimous m the belief that the fighting in France since July | 5 has been a considerable victory for the allies, even if they do not advance an ether foot or take another prisoner or gun. They have not only stopped German drive and won back all gains, but they have gained much valuable ground upon another line and inflicted terrible losses upon the foe. The change so suddenly from defense to offense alone Is an epoch in the war. And this was done with one-fourth of our 1918 army in the field. When the full million reaches the front line, and this is promised by September, the allies may well make drive that will make history. And we have promised second million to fol- low upon the heels of the first, and we plan for two million more by this time next year. Four million in all And so, when 1t is considered what change quarter of million Ar erican bayonets have wrought, the second battle of the Marne may well be considered a victory of no small scope.

A correspondent writing from the west ern front declares that the Frenchman IS the greatest soldier in the world today War was for him the pastime of his wild youth, says this newspaper man. And to every reader of history these words sound as true as the scrape of tempered steel. France, the wayward queen among the nations, has made war her trade ever since Julius Ceaser conquered her when she was known as Gaul. England, Germany, Italy, Russia Austria, these nations rested occasionally from war, but France neverl She has taken part in every considerable war that has ragged in Europe since her birth, and nearly always against odds. In the last fifteen centuries France, 1t is sate to say has fought in thirty wars, one every fifty years on an average, and her own countless civil wars are not included in this total. There Is a flame in the blood of every Frenchman, and he has red ribbon in his lapel or his hatband and smile in his eyes and a song or a jest on his lips, and a sword in his hand from his teens to his sixties. He is a soldier born, Is the son of France A thousand generations of fighters stand in an endless array behind him. Of course he Is good fighter. The Englishman has beaten him often and ex- oels him in some ways as soldier, and so does the German with his stolid endurance, but as an all round, brilliant flashing, in domitable, skilful, successful, gallant and glorious figure in the red haze of the bat tie field the Frenchman, from Clovis down to Foch, stands without a peer.
