w udO, fluilltllc anu ulliS-
ual standards of business
practice-gave him new
inspiration in his work.
1t was only three years
ago in March of this year
that Mr.. Wilson gave his
name and his energy and
his ability and his heart to
the business Of Wilson &
Company.
| asked many people while
| was in Chicago what
was the name of the bust
ness firm to which the
name Wilson & Company
had been given.
Not a single one could tell
me.
All they knew was that
the name Wilson & Com
pany had become very well
and very favorably known
and that it stands for the
highest ideals in business
practice - that it stands
for the highest principles
in service to the public
facts that are borne out by
the statement that the
business has more than
trebled in volume in three
years.
Everywhere | go - and |
meet hundreds of people
every week of my life-I
hear that Mr.. Wilson
puts more heart and soul
into business than any
man they ever heard of.
Chicago people are very
proud of the name Wilson.
They think that Wilson &
Company, by their meth
DDS and the heart they put
into the business, are add
ing to the fame of Chi
cago.
1t is a splendid test of a
mans character and his
popularity when his home
town people speak up for
him enthusiastically and
affectionately as Chicago
people do speak of Thomas
Z. Wilson.
You knew, folks, that this
is true, don't you?
You have examples in
your hometown, haven't
you?
You know the men and
women in your commun-
ity who play the game of
life on the level.
And how you like them,
don't you?
But the best certificate of
character that any man
can receive is that given
to him by the men and wo-
men with whom he comes
in daily contact.
| like Mr.. Wilson person
ally very much. | think
he is liked very much by
everybody that meets him
but / have not formed
my impressions of him
through personal contact.
| haven't seen Mr.. Wilson
often or very long at a
time. l don't think / have
spoken to him as many
words as there are in this
letter to you.
What | have learned about
him | have learned by
asking people in Chicago
and in other cities; but |
got my real look into his
heart and his character
and his business princi-
Piles by mingling with his
associate-workers.
They say, with deepest
personal affection, that

Patrick Moran, Leader Of Redlegs
Has Proven Himself an Ideal Pilot
Cincinnati Manager Is Indefatigabe Worker Who Thinks

to the mistakes. but not for the sols
purpose Of criticism, but mainly to an
truct against a repetition OF them.
His method is proving successful,
for the Reds have never played the
earnest and aggressive kind OF oaai
they have been putting up this sea-
son All of the players are working
thier heads off to win. spurred by the
admirable influence of their leader.
No team ever had a better spirit and
the main cause of this is the example
and influence OF the manager. Pat
has taught his men not to De cast
down by defeat nor to be unduly elat-
ed by victory.
After losing game they come back
strong and after winner they think
about nothing so much as winning the
next one. Moran believes in taking
ca n days work up as il comes along
and spending no time in regret for the
past or in worry over the future.
The result is that the team is on edge
fo.- each days battles and goes into
each conflict with a. sincere determi-
nation to win that particular game
ana let the next one wait until the
next day.
One noticible feature OF Moran's in
spring methods is that the team has
had no bad losing streaks this year.
i
teams none Of which ever had real
" serious slump of any duration. The
longest stretch OF deafeats suffered by
the Reds to date was four straight
games lost to the Pirates in the lat.
ter part OF May AT no other tins
has the team lost more than two
games in row. and usually defeat
is followed by victory the very next
dav.
The resiliencv Of the club Is very
strong 1t always comes back. The
worst defeat of the club and the game
IN which i. played the worst ball it
has shown was on saturday June "a.
when the defence went all 10 pieces
and the Cardinals won by the top.
heavy score Of IA to g.
Inspires Players
In that game the Reds did about
every mad thing they could think OF.
The Cardinals made twenty-five hits
off six Red pitchers, and the fielding
was sloppy in the extreme. Yet the
Reds came back the next day and
won both games of a double header
from the Cubs. much more power
full team than the Cardinals, and went
along until they had won nine out Of
their next ten contests.
On the other hand the team has
twice staged winning streaks of seven
three. four or FIVE ganIS9t34aAuccession,
This ability to keep the1wfnn!ng when
things are breaking right and to check
a losing streak almost before It starts
is a sign Of a real ball club. and Man
aeer Moran is mainly responsible for
the spirit which has produced the re-
suit
The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1919-08-11

Manager Pat Moran Is guiding his
team Of hustling Reds with some acu-
men and getting the best possible work
out of the material at hand. The
team has never before been blessed
with leader Of Pats ability and in
dustry. and the fans recognize his
worth and are for him to a man The
head of the team has a number OF
good points but the greatest and most
valuab BILE is his entire and absolute de-
votion to the interests of the club.
Moran has no outside directions to
take his mind off his work. His whole
thought Is for baseball and he gives
himself freely to the task of building
up a winner. He thinks, plans and
studies with the sole end in view of
winning more games of ball His
mini is attuned to the baseball key
and works tremendously 20 one end,
On and eff the field he is baseball
manager. He is industry personified
along his chosen line. Pat is not one
of those who believes In throwing
away the bat and ball as soon as the
game is over for the day ana turning
to some other pursuit
Talks Ball in Sleep
1t is probable that he talks baseball
in his sleep. At any rate. he often
lies awake to think out plans for the
next day and figure on some scheme
for distracting and annoying the en-
envy.
The fans like Pat because they see
him out on the coaching lines every
inning working and hustlng for the
club. But this is only part of his
days work. After the game he usu-
ally has a few words to say To the
boys in commentator of their good
plays or correction for their mistakes.
In the evening he is plotting and plan
ming for the next day
AS soon as he has had breakfast In
the morning he is on his way to the
yard ready to give the boys the ben
eft of his cogitations. He holds a
meeting OF the regulars every day at
which the signs and com binatons are
gone over and the prospects for the
afternoon are reviewed. His whole
thought is on his work all the time
Pat is not one Of those xho are
anxious 10 get home TO dinner. He
does not 6spise his dinner, but re
do1s not think Of /; until after he has
made every possible effort 70 win his
ball game. This is the basic, secret
OF his success.
Doesn't Hog LimcIight
AnoLNeT Ufle tFdll OF the theu iedltT
is that he never attempts to hog the
limelight or grab the glory, but al
ways aims to give most of the credit
for winning 10 his players. The fans
have doubtless noticed that Pat Of
tens pats a player on the back and
gives him a word OF congra tulatior
after making an exceptionally gooc
play. This is no grand stand stunt Of
his. but only part of his nature.
Moran Is strict disciplinarian. but
he never fails TO credit a worthy play
er with any special effort he may make
10 win a game Usually he mentions
such players ON the bench soon after
they are made. Pat believes that II
helps the morale of the team TO rec
ognize and applaud extreme efforts.
A certain class or manager is prone
to ignore the good plays made by his
men and to dilate on the mistakes
which even the best of players some
times commit. Pat will call attention

SENSATION OF LEAGUE

controversy, with it, melodramatic
touches. has detractsd . good deal Of
attention from what was really the
outstanding feature, a. far as real
baseball is concerned, in the American
league this week The terrific smuggling
Iof Bill Jacobson, the mammoth guard
ian Of the left pasture for the St. Louis
Browns. is SO rare at this stage OF the
game that 1t has caused fans all over
the country to sit UP and take notice.
In week, Jacobson has boosted his
batting average twenty-one points
which Is the biggest gain Of any ath-
lete in the American league. Bill is
the proud possessor OF a percentage OF
1873 tonight.
In his last sixteen games he has
batted close on to 800 In the recent
Yankee series just closed. he laced
Jack Quinn. Carl Mays and George
Mogridge for seven hits out of twelve
chances In the last game against the
Yankees. he stepped up to the plate
slashed the ball with all the terrific
strength Of his broad shoulders. Yes
terday at Boston he mauled Russell
for two hits out Of FIVE chances.
Jacobson is now within hailing dis
lance of the batting leaders. Ty Cobb
leads the league with an average Of
1855, and Sisler. OF St. Louis: veach, Of
Detroit: Peckinpaugh. of New York.
and Jackson. Of Chicago. trail within
twenty points OF him ana just in front
Iof Jacobson.
There is no indication that the
rampage big Bill has started on is only
a flash. There Ia every indication to
the contrary that his squirt will carry
him within close range Of the leader
ship In the league. Judging solely by
the way he has been slugging the ball
this week, the end OF his dash Is not
yet in sight
