Honebreds Unable to Win British Championship q,
Check Inuaders Here-Bdgby Best Pitcher Of
Season-Looks Like 800 to Lead-Americans
BY GRANTLAND RICE

CTAMINA means something more
~ than mere ability to keep moving at
top speed.
II means something more than physi-
cal control.
Stamina, or the lack Of it, also has a
direct effect rpon ones judgment.
The contender who is worn down
might still 60 the route in physical
way, but his judgment is no longer the
same.
When Harry vardon was breaking
under the weight Of fifty years and the
long, hard grind of six successive rounds
he played safe at the twelfth hole, where
he might have carried the ditch and took
chance at the seventeenth where the
chance was slim. But he was so pois-
oned by weariness and fatigue that the
certainty and sureness Of his judgment
was no longer to be trusted. A pitcher,
worn out, may still be able to get
enough stuff on the ball. but his tiring
brain may easily fail to select the proper
choice for the waiting batsman.

That is, player cannot be purchased traded by
club from another unless waivers asked and every
body has equal chance.
New York is fighting for the pennant and is weak at
second base. McGraw has offered high 5000 600
