No ball game is won or lost until
the last man is retired and the game
is officially over. That is a thought
that is always entertained by clubs
that are successful. Back in 1907. 1908
and 1909 when the Detroit team of
the American League was making
such a splurge in the Johnsonian or
ganization. the word defeat wasn't in
the vocabulary of single Detroit
player.
1t really was remarkable the way
that club could come from behind. I'm
less my memory is in error, the Tigers
once 0vercame fourteen-run lead
that Chicago had piled up in the first
three or four innings of the game.
About the fifth inning the Tigers start
pitcher stopped the batting spree OF
Chicago and the Cobb. Crawford and
company made use Of their sticks and
Detroit won. 10 to a.
Ability to come from behind was
what made the Cincinnati club a great
team last year. The spirit of supreme
confidence filled the ranks of the Reds
The club boasted of excellent pitching
and had much batting strength. The
players always felt that If they could
go out and get a few runs for their
pitcher. 1t would be enough to win.
Without doubt the Cincinnati
club figured in two of the most un-
usual ball games staged in the Ma
tional League last year. In one OF

when the Reds We're going great guns
and were the talk of the league. the
Chicago club treated Moran's team
to a flock of base hits. that many
thought would prove the ruination
vorite to win the pennant The Reds
were the dark horse. the sensation
of the league. Getting away to an
early lead in this particular game,
the Reds seemed to have it won be-
yond a doubt. Then the Cubs began
to show signs of ability to come from
behind. At the close of the ninth
the score was tie.
The blow-off came in the twelfth.
Hod Eller had been pitching supefbly,
until all of a sudden the Cubs began
to hit Before he was removed from
the game the Cubs had made five runs
on eight hits and a sacrifice fly. An
other nit and run was added at the
expense of Jim Ring. Several weeks
later the Reds got revenge for that
rout. In the thirteenth inning of a
game with Brooklyn, Cincinnati made
ten runs. Another evidence of the
spirit of the Reds might be cited in
that history making siX-game series
with New York. Their winning two
out of three double headers on
foreign fields. in a series that just
about meant the pennant. proved be-
yond a doubt the mettle of the Gin
cinnati club.

CLARK LIKELY TO WIN
NAVY ATHLETIC HONOR

Midshipman Howard Clark Of New
York is picked to win the sword
awarded by the Naval Academy Ath-
letic Association to the best all-round
athlete each year. Clark clearly is In
the lead for the great honor. He
wears two stars on his sweater, insig-
mia OF participation in victories over
the Military Academy in base ball last
spring and foot ball last fall. He was
halfback on the eleven and an out
fielder on the nine. He is again in the
academy outfield and hopes to make
his third star before he graduates in
June.
His closest competitor is Edwin D.
Graves, jr. Pennsylvanian Graves
is captain OF the first crew and has
been a member Of the foot ball squad
for several seasons. He got his star
for playing in the Army game, but did
not start that contest or play regu-
larly during the season.
Several in the lower classes have
been doing good work in several
branches of sport. Most notable among
these are Harold Waters and ''Tiny"
Willkie, the foremost contenders for
the sword next year. Waters is a
halfback. captain and star guard of
the basket ball five which trimmed
the Army quintet this year, and one of
the best Of the lacrosse men.
Wil1kie Is foot ball lineman, where

tier of the academy. defeating all
comers this season, including Gait
Yale's great foot ball lineman and
winner Of the intercollegiate heavv-
weight championship.

The 18th Hole
BY Chick Evans
Luck and Skill.

When golfers gather to talk over
the old game the conversation usual
ly doesn't go far before we hear some
mention how luck turned the tioe Oh
some hard-fought match. Luck gets
more consideration than it deserves.
Nevertheless, it raises this question:
Does success in golf, or In li1e' Ior
that matter, come from hard. inteiii-
gent work in building up skill or is
1t mainly the result of good break
at some critical moment? Can the
training of years be overthrown by
an unfortunate happening. II can, put
in all the ordinary conditions l must
confess that the race is usually to the
swift and the battle to the strong:
We hear a great deal about the
break of the game" and. indeed. 1t Is a
very real thing. We have all seen
badly hit balls find good lies. We nave
seen them headed straight Tor out-o1-
bounds, and behold. they struck a
stone. We have seen the little white
globes unEer on the very edge of
yawning bunkers-and never drop In.
We have all known, too, the Interrupt
tion, the casual remark waited across
the course, that came exactly the
wrong moment and destroyed the
good shot Then again some players
and not always very good ones-seem
to have the art Of inspiring respectful
in the gallery. and their
shots are made amid deathlike still
ness. while the other player always
seems to strike his ball to an accom-
paniment Of stamping feet and bursts
of conversation. Unfortunately all
these things are true. and bad luck
does lose many a game. but the thing
for US to consider is average result.
All sorts of bad luck may delay sue
1rS1l nc
in the long run in golf as all the i'm
portant things of life. A player must
learn to forget his opponents good
breaks and concentrate upon his own
shots. He must learn to take these
things as they come. for luck is not
always one-sided. A player must es-
pecially avoid crying over the vary
ing luck OF the game while 1t is in
progress. OF course. 1t is too much to
ask that he should not discuss 1t
when the game IL over, for therein
lies the charm Of the nineteenth hole
