The Immigrants We Get

An unusually interesting digest of

fed by occupations, trades and pro-
fessions, there were vastly more un-

immigrants in the last six months
than skilled or professional. Only
129,O75 of the half million were
skilled laborers.

Confidence!
CHAPTER XIX.
BY n. G. SALSlNGER.

HROBABLY the most valuable
asset in batting is confidence.
The man who has faith in
himself will be able to hit, provided
he has mechanical ability. But a
great many men with mechanical
ability have been forced out of the
major leagues because of falling off
IN batting. They got into a slump
and never got out, so they passed
from the charmed circle of the
majors
One of the reasons Ty Cobb was a
super player was because he believed
himself to be one. He WAS convinced
that he coIld play ball better than
any man that ever lived. His faith
In himself was unlimited.
when you step up to the plate,
look the pitcher in the eye. straight
into the eye. Let him know that you
have confidence in yourself; that you
know you're going to hit the ball.
Convince him Of II and you'll have an
advantage over him; you'll put him
in hole.
Hits Follow. Confidence.
Any player that fully believes he

hit him. The reason certain pitchers
are able to beat certain clubs is be-
cause the belief has spread on those
clubs that the pitcher has somethin G
on them and they cannot beat hin9
They rarely do.
Carl Weilmsn. as previously mar
rated. beat Detroit eight times in
one season, and that is nearly rec
ord. Detroit was beating far better
pitchers than weilman consistently
and weaker clubs were beating Well
man. But the Tigers believed that
they could not beat Weilman and
they did not Cobb evidently shared
the belief that Weilman was his mas
ter. for he never had any success to
speak of in batting against him. But
Weilman was the exception in Cobb's s
case.

myself, i am going to hit the ball:

He has had his slumps. He never
had long slumps, but he did have
slumps where making hits was a
hard, job. But he was successful in
batting himself out of the slumps.
Explaining Slumps.
He has been asked several times
to analyze slump. to explain Its
cause.

SCRIMM MAGING BEING
REDUCED BY COACHES
Ey LAWRENCE PERRY.

One of the most important develop
ments of the present foot ball season
perhaps the most important--is the
discovery of not a few coaches ana
trainers that too much practice
scrimmaging is the worst thing that
can be done to a foot ball outfit.
In the two weeks before the Yale
game the Dartmouth eleven reduced
scrimmagfng to a minimum and this
practice obtained in Hanover
throughout the remainder. of the
season. Results have certainly been
favorable.
Yale. in the week between her
game against Maryland and Prince
ton, did not scrimmage at all. Tad
Jones had intended some hard prac-
tice. but yielded to the advice of the
trainer. George Conners, and his
assistants. Certainly Jones can have
no regrets that he followed counsel
so sagely.
The secret of PrincetOn's ability
TO play hard game against Harvard
year after year and then meet Yale
without apparent loss of vitality ard
endurance has been because of keene
Fitzpatrick's policy of few scrim-
images. Princetons perceptible sag
against Yale this year related en-
tirely to attack, not to defense. and
thus indicated that the lesson was
mental-due to psychology, which
plays SO important a part in modern
foot ball. rather than physical.
Wise trainers throughout the coun-
try have come to learn that the grind
of constant scrimmaging against
scrub or freshman elevens takes
more out of the varsity than games
against regular opponents. much
more. Many a varsity man has told
the writer that the rigors of daily
scrimmaging caused him to Nlook
upon regular games very much in
the light of recreation.
Trainers and coaches throughout
the country who have not fallen in
with this trend could adopt it with
absolute benefit to their teams.

1t seems to me that the time has

There is no element of the chase in

shoot they'll do it. Fine Americans.
