JOE WATERS HEARS
 OF FAMOUS PLAY

Joe Waters, local polo inn pressario and q frequent visitor, had a chat with Hughey Jennings on one of his recent visits to the Polo Grounds, when Hughey told him of someone bringing an in- tereSting and old picture to show to Jennings. It depicted a play which was executed by Jennings, John McGrayv and Willie Keeler in the days of the old Orioles. Tho play was recalled by Jen- nings who said:
 '@There'S an interesting story behind that picture. It was taken late in October after the Orioles had been defeated by Cleveland in the Temple cup series of 1895, four games to one.
 "One of our carefully thought out plays had gone wrong time and again in that series, so we decided to work it out again. For a whole week we met at the park and worked and worked And we got that play down fine. Next fall we beat Cleveland for the Temple cup, four games to none.''
 How many modern ball players would work for a week in the Sere days of October-worlS for noth- ing but the satisfaction of ironing out a play that had gone wrong in a big series?

wire in the N. L. race. Read Gowdy's opinion:
 ''There is one sweet ball club,'' said Hank in talking about the St. Louis club. II cannot under stand why they will not win the pennant. They are playing bang up ball, and if it had not been for that little setback that the Braves gave them at the first of the season I do think that they would win the bunting. But I have not given uD roofing for them yet. The Pirates and Giants are having a regular bangup tus- Sle for the flag, but no one can St. Louis club is not about the best in the National heap.''
 Another peculiar phase in the two major races to date is that both Chicago clubs are in seventh place, while the two Philadelphia clubs are in the cellar.
 The Cubs, who started the sea- son under the leadership of Johnny Evers. looked strong on paper, but they failed to display team work, which, coupled with internal diSsenSions, wrecked any chance of them being con- great band of disappOintmentS of the season.
 Perhaps, if the efforts to induce Frank Chance to return and lead his old club next season are successful the Windy City may again have a wonderful baseball machine.

EGOTISM

There are two differert forms of
egotism, one commendable egotism
and the other an egotism that makes
the possessor and all around him un-
happy.
The first kind is that egotism that
recognizes the PERSONS worth and in
slsts upon recognition of that worth.
A man who knows that he knows how
to do something well has right to,
and ought to feel proud of his accom-
plishment. If he does not go to the
extent of boring other people with his
own laudatOn he is justified in bring
ing his accomplishments or his own
powers to the notice Of his associates.
1t Is impossible for man to be an
adept in any vocation and not feel
sensible Of his power in that line, and
such an egotism is perfectly rational.
There is another kind Of egotist who
dmeesitionapooosOm,k sxzfifffmhimh
makes his own life miserable and alien
ates those who would he his friends
by imagining that his associates have
all sorts of opinions about him. I
did not know that this was egOtism
until had my attention forcibly call
ed to 1t by preacher many years ago.
This evangelist has created quite a
sensation In a small town by his preach

very radical. / was sitting by him

Licking Valley courier., 1921-05-19

That was many years ago and it
gave me a new perspective. Since
that time I have observed people and
have met many who think themselves
so important as to occupy the thoughts
Of their neighbors to the exclusion
of everything else. That is pitt
able condition for any human being.
When person arrives at that point
that he imagines every person who
whispers in his presence is talking
about him he has arrived at the part
ing Of the ways between him and happi
ness. 1t is morbid state of mind
that feeds on the souls unhappiness
and grows more intense the longer it
is INDUCED in. The truth is that the
big. wide world, and including the little
parts of the world, have little time or
inclination to dwell long upon the af-
fairs of any one person. The world
is too busy for one persons affairs to
interest it long.

that she deserved it leave a crowd Of
her kind and afterward make inquir-
les about what they said about her
in her absence? A gossip never leaves
a crowd without wondering what is
said about her, when the chances are
that more important things were talk

of. But that particular brand Of
egotism can never understand that
its possessor is not constantly in the
thoughts Of his or her acquaintance.
