alibi when his club was beaten in a

A record hit vas made.
But as YOU trlpped the terpslchore

Broke His Arm.

From his earliest school days he has
mixed into athletics, but he came near
being put out of the game when as a
sChoolboy at the West Main street
grammar school he broke an arm.
Those were dark days while that arm
was mendiug,
But mend 1t did, and he played foot
bali on his grammar school team,
and when. in 1911, he entered the
Meridon high school he became n menu
Der of the eleven, where he soon earned
homage as nm extraordinary punter. In
fact. he was such a fine all-around
player that for the next three years
the football team of the Meriden high
school was built around him,
In 1915 he was made captain Of the
team, so that his experience in lead
ing ten fellow players to a hard
fought victory is no new experience,
Under his leadership and through his
brilliant work the Meriden high school
team distinguished itself in 1915 as
never before in the history Of the in
stitution,

Ambition Realized.

When he graduated from high school
a prominent Meriden lawyer wanted
him to attend Yale, and tried to make
arrangements to that end, But John.
Mack, OF Chelsea, tho Yale coach, said
that Fitzpatrick would never make an
athlete, Mack has since had a fine OPP
p~ortunity to see how good a prophet he
is. and also to mourn his Judgment.
The result was that instead of going
to Yale, Fitzpatrick, through the ef-
forts and advice OF Charlie Brickl6y, the
former Harvard star, went to Boston
college to become the idol of University
Heights,
THAT victory was the accomplish
ment Of my. life's ambition. he said,
referring to the victory OF Boston col
lege over Yale. Il was glad for a dou-
ble reason to b. in the partnership that
defeated Yale. First. for the glory to
Boston college; second, because when |
was graduating from Meriden high
school a prominent lawyer OF the town
Insisted on my going to Yale, and went
To make arrangements for my entrance,
Mack, however, said that would never
make an athlete

all Of whom failed to live up to their
regulations as sluggers. This twirling
corps of the South Side club that was
expected to stand the Reds on their
heads will not be the same when the
spring of 1920 rolls around. There will

tons If President Comiskey can sue
coed in landing them during the win
ter, He realizes as well as anybody
that his team was fortunate to get
through with the hurting it had this
last year and that 1t must be improved
as well as replenished.

President Comiskey. Effective right
handlers, young men Who are coming
up in the game is what We need. Will

will probably be a good pitcher for us.

Some nineteen additions have been
made and there will be some half
dozen others, all of whom will be re-
ceived at the Sunday morning service.
Mr.. Wright was sufficiently recov-
cred to leave for his home in st.

Forming the Habit of Success

that is accurate is made impossible.
Wealth and prosperity do not come
unasked, nor stay unurged. Getting
a position is one thing, keeping it and
using it as stepping stone to another
is quite another thing. Some women
form the habit of being invalids. They
simply drift into helplessness. Their
inefficiency degenerates into flabbi-
ness. They have the habit of being
taken care of, and expect everybody
to fetch and carry for them; they be-
come mere parasites; they live on the
industry of others and become melan-
choly and bitter. What they need is
a powerful shock to the will. Some
overwhelming disaster to throw them
on their own resources would be the
saving and making of them. That
was a wise physician who, when he
found that the woman would not ex-
ert herself even to sit up, bribed the
servant to go into the hall and scream
"Fire! Firew Within half minute
the invalid who could not put foot
on the floor, grabbed an armful of
dresses, and when she came to herself
was on the sidewalk To all other
tonics and nerve remedies we might
well add the physical uses of terror
and alarm through crying: "Fire!
Fire"

II men has convinced me that only
LONG time observation of public
a few men seek to form the habit
of success, while a multitude form
the habit Of failure. Recently very
influential man in the commercial
circles of New York declined to ac-
cept a most renumerative advisory re-
lation to a great corporation, and pri-
vately gave this as his reason-one
of the enterprises was losing money,
and he could not afford to have any
business which he founded fail, that
it was necessary for him to give him
self to that enterprise until it was
prosperous. The simple fact was he
had formed the habit of success, and
failure meant a certain weakening
of his will, and loss of confidence in
himself. Now, this confidence in his
own resources and judgment were
worth more than any easily achieved
form of monetary success.
The Habit of Failure
On the other side stands a certain
other business man. Twenty years
ago, at forty years of age, he was at
the head of a great plant. He grew
careless through prosperity. After
awhile he awoke to discover that the
institution had gotten away from him,
Instead of calling in all his physical
and mental reserves to right his blum
ders, he determined to "get out from
under" Certain friends who did not
know what had happened made him
an overture, under the delusion that
: he had succeeded in his other work,
After a while his friends came to
know that he had made failure.
Within two years he repeated the
former habit of failure. Now he is
absolutely down and out, borrowing
five dollars here and five dollars there.
At thirty he was man of splendid
gifts, thorough education, charming
manners, but he had weak will, and
he always sought the easiest way,
with the result that today he has so
thoroughly formed the hadit of fail
ure that it is dougtful whether he
could succeed at anything.
For Young Men
Today two million young soldiers
have either returned from France or
are preparing for their return. What
if those millions could be assembled
in one room and this one message
burned into their memory: young
man, form the habit of success! Re-
member that when you were a boy
and solved your first problem that it
lent you courage and enthusiasm to
attack the next one. Remember also
that when you gave up hard prob
lem it weakened your will so that
after little you formed habit of
saying, ooh, we'll! it doesn't matter.
1t has happened before. Let it 60
That way lies failure. Scholarship
