Those Old Signs.
NKcGRAW is a keen student Of
N human nature, and he is
Avn quick to sense the mental
attitude of his club
Some years ago he had a lot of
rather temperamental players who
had fallen into a batting slump,
and McGraw learned that they at
tributed this slump to the advertis-
ing signs on the fence in center
field at the Polo Grounds
They said the signs made a back
ground which was very confusing
when they faced the pitcher They
asserted that with the signs re-
moved they would hit much better.
The signs were a valuable ad-
junct to the privilege held by Har-
ry M. Stevens, the Polo Grounds
concessionaire. They were con-
tracted for by advertisers, and their
removal meant a considerable loss
of money.
However, McGraw made an ar
rangement with Stevens by which
the signs were obliterated, and a
green background replaced them
"It's all nonsense, of course" said
McGraw The sign make no diff
ference whatever They don't in
terfere with the hitting of the 9TH
er fellow. But my men have got
to thinking they can't hit on ac-
count of the signs, and the result
is they don't hit"

In sport, one of the greatest ex-
hibitions of confidence we have
ever seen was by George Stallings'
Boston Braves in 1914, when they
went into the worlds series They
seemed absolutely certain they were
going to win. On The other hand,
the Philadelphia Athletics started
with little confidence, and after
the second game appeared to &C.
