Curse of a Slump.

them. The trouble is you don't
know. This thing of getting into a
batting slump is unconscious. Often
II lis q matter of psychology; other
times 1t is. just plain mechanical: A
man may change his style at bat
without realizing it. He doesn't
know that he Is doing it.
TO get out of a batting slump Cobb
has frequently asked other players
who played with him to watch him
at bat and tell him what he was do
ing wrong. or what he was doing that
he did not generally do. They would
Try TO tell him. But he would also
heip himself by changing his style
at bat. He would continue changing
until he got out of the slump.
Cobb believes that many batting
slumps are caused by the desire to
nit home runs. Ball players. like
"o'fers. love to hit the ball long
way. III a player makes home run
t4ie thrill of making it will cause
him TO keep on trying for home runs.
He Will change his batting style en-
tirely to drive the ball out of the
park. He Will get into a slump as
result. He will be unable. to get out
o the slump. That is how some
players passed from the major
leagues.
Curse Of n siump.
The curse of slump is that il de-
stroys confidence. If player goes
to bat a week Or so without making
more than two or three hits he be-
comes disheartened. He loses faith
in himself. He believes all luck has
left him, and this mental state, more
than mechanical, will cause the
slump to continue. 1t may mean the
End Of his major league career 1t
takes q great deal of courage and
extreme self-confidence to work out
of a batting slump. There is moth
ing I'm base ball that will destroy a
players poise more quickly. and the
trouble is' that he begins to worry
and falls off in fielding when he quits
getting hits. He begins making the
wrong play and he plays wrong posi-
tion for batsmen. He goes into
panic and soonor or later destroys
his usefulness.
Batting slumps come to all play
ers. Cobb. in a slump, sits down and
tries TO figure the thing out. He is
doing something he should not do.
but just exactly what? He tries TO
find out himself and he tries to find
out from others. He continues
changing his style and he gets out
of the slump. But all the while he
never loses faith in himself.
I've been able to- hit before and
I can still hit says Cobb. He be-
lieves it. Most players do not say
that. and this is one reason that
there has been but one Cobb.

to be more Immediately concerned.
The president of the National League
has as much authority under the
rules to declare a player ineligible
for organized base ball as the COM
missioner of base ball. II the presi-
dent of the league passes a sentence
of ineligibility. however. he might be
overruled by the board of directors
of his own organization, which would
leave him the alternative of swallow
ing their medicine or resigning.
Taken Ont Of HeydIerss Hands.
When OConnel1 and Dolan were
declared Ineligible by Commissioner
Lands the matter was taken out Of
the hands of the president of the
National League automatically. ANY
action that the members Of the Ma
tionai League might take, II they
wished to do SO. would have nothing
to do with the decision of Lands.
unless the National League wished
to withdraw from organized base ball
and go it alone.
If the president Of the National
League were instructed by his circuit
to petition Judge Lands to change
his decision in regard to O'Connell
and Dolan. he probably would do so
or resign if he was opposed to taking
such action.
The matter of the breaking down
bribery charge was put Immediately
by President Heydler before Judge
Lands because the head of the Ma
tional League felt that these players
would come within a few days di-
rectly under the authority of the
commissioner, who has full charge
of the world series, and therefore Il
was not only courteous to him, but
in sense imperative that he should
bring the players before him and as
certain personally whether there
was any truth in the accusation
made by Sand of the Philadelphis
National League Club.
Bowed to Landis' Experience.
1t also is probable that Mr.. Heyd-
Ter felt that Judge Landis' great
er experience in criminal law, a.
lawyer and judge, made him more
competent to get to the bottom o.
the facts and discover just how far
was the range of the attempt to in
fluence Sand.
Those who criticise Mr.. Heydlers
action assert thatrit was a case tina
should have been kept entirely with
in the control of the National League
and that the league should have pun
ished the players If they were guilty.
instead of Judge Lands.
If that had been done the whole
matter would have had to be filed
with Judge lands in any event and
under the one-man rule which has
CALLED some of the club owners since
its adoption, he could have insisted
on having the case re-opened, and had
he cared to do SO he could have
overruled anything done by the
league.
