JOHN BLAKE

a RECENT Sunday newspaper
"A printed picture OF the head OF
one Of New York's biggest banks. He
waE In baseball uniform, and but for
a mustache-an ornament now dis
carded by ball players-looked Ike a
professional.
The picture was taken at an out
Ing Of the Bond club. The banker
served as pitcher for the New York
team. The type below recited the
fact that he got his first Job In an
Albany bank because he was a crack
ball player. applied himself to bank
ing as eagerly as he had applied him
self 10 baseball. and In a few years
was well on his way TO his present
position.
II Is needless TO say that this par
ticular baseball player didn't put all
be had into the game. He was un-
usually gifted as pitcher. and might
easily have got into one Of the big
leagues, too.
But he had the good sense TO know
that baseball was not a steady bust
ness, and that banking was. And in
stead Of selling an opportunity to
make fairly big money early In youth,
be was content TO try the banking
business on a small salary.
OF course there are a good many
men who started In the banking busi-
ness when he did, and who are still
about where they were when they
started But at least they still have
steady jobs II they had taken to
baseball they would not be doing as
we'll.
our object in referring to this par
ticular case Is to call attention TO
the fact that II you want inspiration
in your work you can get II in the
newspapers-plenty OF IL.
Brief bits Of biography such as the
one we have cited appear almost
every day.
Seldom is a prominent mans name
mentioned In connection with an i'm
portant AFFAIR that you do not learn
something about how he started and
why he succeeded.
II you want to read about the fall
ures-aud the horrible examples, you
can read about them. too.
While this man was rising from a
bank clerk to bank president, an
other man who started as an impOr-
taut official Of bank-chlefiy be-
cause his father owned most Of it
was preparing TO travel In the other
direction. He made the journey. and
has jJst arrived at the point he start
ed for.
All human history is epitOmized In

Read the papers. Think about
what you read. After that II you don't
succeed. II will not be because nobody
told you how.
