MANS inhun,dnitp to man."
As Burns remarked some years before,
The human yedrn to knock and pan
Leaves countless millions peeued and
sore.
A cove may have but one bad fault,
With endless virtues holding siody;
We toss his Virtues TO tho uault
And keep his fault upon display.
Where daily conUorSdtion's spilled
The ofside rap is soon unfurledj
The friendly boost is Crdnped or stilled,
The Anul Chorus rules the toorld.
A MONG those who had practically
"A nothing to do with the livelier base
ball now in use are the moody athletes
who toss the livelier missile up in the
general direction of the bats. The
pitcher likes the livelier ball almost
as well as the average duffer does
the addition Of five or six extra bunkers
and traps.
The Rule Of Fear
HT KNEW If led and missed Demp-
l. sey the fight would be over" re-
marked Battling Levinsky.
Under these conditions Levinsky was
nowhere near his best in meeting the
present champion.
The average pitcher and the average
infielder is rarely at his best against
Ty Cobb. knowing that mistake will
be extremely costly. The infelder knows
that he has no time for any delay,
but must get the ball away in flash to
haol Nphh nT n, Alsa
infield errors have been made with Cobb
ut the bat than against another single
player.
The same rule of fear favors Ruth.
The pitcher knows that he must place
the ball in certain spot with lot OF
stuff attached or it will shortly disap-
pear over the right field wall. This
means an added strain, where most
pitchers are working below normal.
Travers and Travis, when they were
| at the top in golf, won innumerable
matches by drifting along and permit
ting their opponents to beat themselves.
In fearing an opponent there is al
ways the probability that you will not
be near your best. The tendency then
is to play him rather than to play the
game.
Those who can step out and play
their own game. regardless OF oppo-
nent's worth, are extremely rare.
The Cobbs, the Hagens, the Ruths
| and the e\Dcmpseys are rarely under any
strain, Because they figure they car
make mistakes and still win-and be
cause their mental attitude is to pla,
the game without bothering over the
other fellows play.
