the psychological moment had ar
rived. | use the word psychological
advisedly. Psychology was the key
to the strategy which we now un-
cloaked. 1t was the best practical
demonstration of it ( ever hope to
witness. My boys certainly gave
grand exhibition of brain work.
The whole strategy was built upon
the idea of doing the uneXpected-of
making a series of plays exactly op-
posite from the manner in which
ordinarily they would be done.
Pulls the Unexpected.
You know how it is in base ball.
Suppose a batter is sent up to bunt.
He gets two strikes on himself
through laying the ball down foul.
Nine times out of ten the infield will
now expect him to swing on the ball
and will move back. If he has the
nerve to try third bunt he is very
iikely 10 get away with II. L nat
what made Ty Cobb.
We believed that we could fool
Minnesota by directing our plays to
the short side of the field instead of
toward the center, Remember. pos
sessing the ball in the center of the
field, we were only Is yards from
the side line on our right. The
Gophers would figure that we would
make our first play toward our left,
so as to get more room for action.
However. We had been practicing
all week to do just the opposite. Our
Minnesota pass had been worked out
because of the existence of the rule,
which says that when a ball has been
forced out of bounds 1t shall be put
in play again Is yards inside the line
We perfected pass which would de-
liver the ball to one of our men on
the short side of the field. We fore
saw that after catching 1t he would
be forced out of bounds. In fact, il
was planned that he should go out if

in danger of being tackled. But the
referee would bring the, ball In again.
And we would be in position for
another strategy
Well, Mcmillan, our quarterback,
started to call the signals. / heard
and knew what was coming. Every
things depended on that play. 1t was
long wait for me-seemed like
hours-before we got into action.
Goes Through Like CIockwork.
Our formation was like this: Wells
shifted from right end to position
1-yard back of left end. Borleskie lie
shifted from left end to Wells place
at right end. Fullback Lawton went
into the line in the place vacated by
Borleskie. Mcmillan got 5 yards
back of Center Cornwell. Left Half
Magidsohn stood yards to the rear
of Left Guard Benbrook and about /
yard to the left of Mcmillan. Right
Half Pattengill stationed himself a
yard back of left tackle. Wells. in
his position a yard behind left end,
also edged a bit to the left, so as to
be outside Lawton. We gave every
appearance of being prepared to play
toward our left and around Mime
sofas right end.
Mcmillan got the ball on a direct
pass from Cornwell and started as
though on run around the Gopher's
right. Magidsohn accompanied him,
ostensibly as protector. Pattengill
went for the defensive right end.
Wells took one step forward-and
then the scene changed.
Instead of continuing forward.
Wells wh seled entirely around and
ran back yards. Now passing Nc
MILAN, he received the ball from the
latter. While Mcmillan continued on
to intercept any Gopher who might
have gotten by PattengiIl or Magid-
sohn, Wells dropped back TO a point
10 yards behind his scrimmage line
Borleskie Gets Loose.
While this was going on Borlesk ie
had shaken himself loose, evaded the
defensive left end and sped down the
short side of the field along the side
line for distance of 25-yards. Cen
ter Cornwell had charged down the
field to take out the Minnesota safety
man, McGovern. Our right guard had
fallen back yards to protect Wells.
The stage was now set for the pass
and Wells hurled a 40-yard beauty

running leap. which twisted his body

The manager and captain of the
Chicagos was Albert G. Spalding, one
of the greatest figures in base ball
history. Modestly declining to as
sumo any credit more than that of
being skillful player, it was he who
really had as much to do with the
organization of the National League
and its earliest success as Hubert.
Players of the Chicago club were
A. G.. Spalding, James White, C. A.
McVey, Ross c. Barnes, A. c. Anson,
J. B. Peters, Paul Hines, o. Bielaski
J. w. Glenn, ]. F. Cone, Il. Addy and
i. II. Andrus.
With two exceptions all of these
men became famous in base ball for
one thing or another. Spalding was
the greatest pitcher of his day and in
success the greatest pitcher of any
day, beca use he won more games pro-
portionately than any rival. Jim
White. Deacon was both q third
baseman and a catcher and a great
hitter. Cal McVey has been called by
his cronies the greatest ball player
who ever lived. Barnes never was ex-
celled as a second baseman. The rec
ord of Anson to this day stands forth
sas against that of any player in
base ball for all around ability. Hines
was a fine batter, Peters was a smart
shortstop and Glen an outfielder
of much repute in his time. Addy
made some pretensions as base
runner in a time when base-running
was an undeveloped art. Studley. an
old player who was with the Wash
ing ton team back in 1856, is said to
have stolen the first base.
The Chicagos were a team of ball
players who batted very hard and
who could support a pitcher admir-
ably. these are the qualifications of
any championship team and are as
much needed in these days as they
were then. The Chicagos won the
championship in the first year of the
league with a percentage OF .7SS.
Their victories numbered So and their

Had Mercury had a player yester-
day such as Untz Brewer Of last
years winged-foot aggregation, it
proba bly, would have won. Twice the
Mercurys got within good kicking
distance of the Mohawk goal, but
the pigskin was booted wide OF the
marks. Brewer, whose booting was
one of the bright spots in last years
conflict, perhaps could have carried
Mercury to victory. The Moha awks s
registered but one first down, while
Mercury attained five. There was
II .tle to choose between the elevens,
although the winged-foot team pro
duced a stronger offense.
Seldom have sandlot foot ball
players here distinguished them
selves in tAe manner that Joe Gainey
of Mercury and Ed Lynch of the In
dians did yesterday. In addition to
punting in exceptionally fine style.
Lynch, former Catholic University
athlete, made tackle after tackle un-
til his tired body almost refused to
respond to his will during the wan
ing minutes of the fray. Lynch was
in practically every play and his de-
fensive prowesS stopped the Mer-
curry ball carriers time and time
again. Gainey, Mercury end, halted
Ike Dreifus, punt of the Mo-
hawks, with impressive regularity
and played one of the best defensive
games seen in Clark Griffith Stadium.
Zube Sullivan, Mercury tackle, also
did quite well, while Cronin and
Levy of the same team gave good
accounts of themselves. No other
Mohawk gridman than Lynch flashed
into the spotlight. In fact, the In
dams style of play revealed apparent
lack of consistent preparation. Any
team that can account for only one
first down can hardly expect to figure
in the local unlimited title-running.
Mercury's showing created big sur
prise, for the fans generally thought
the Mohawks would win.

WORLDS RoTUNDITY

Although the world is round, accord
ing to long established proofs, it is
not everyone who journeys west to
find the east, who goes from Penn
sylvania to Colorado to find his friends
of Germany, yet this is the record of
Frederick He'll, boiler maker in the
Altoona, Pennsylvania, machine shops.
Acting upon the suggestion of his
uncle and aunt, Mr.. and Mrs. Schlappi
of Denver, that Glenwood, under all
circumstances, is the proper place to
spend one g vacation, Mr.. He'll and his
wife came to our fair little city about
a month ago. Ere long Mr.. He'll
made the acquaintance Of Mrs. j.. Z.
Schwarz, and to the surprise of both,
they learned that Mrs. Schwarz's faith
er had been Mr.. He'll 3 boyhood school
master in Zweibrucken, Germany, years
ago. Speaking in German, as they
were wont to do when reviving memo
res of their beloved fatherland, Mrs.
Schwarz and Mr.. He'll discussed many
topics of fascinating interest. Mrs.
Schwarz laughingiy divulged the sig
nificance of Mr.. Hell's name. "1t
means light in German" she said,
but Mr.. Hell's eyes twinkle as he re-
counts his parting advice to the post
office employees on the matter OF
changing his address, preparatory to
his departure for home Saturday. Said
he, "I told them there would be no
more He'll for them.'
Mr.. He'll was greatly fascinated
with Glenwood and regretted having
to leave.

"when land was sighted after thir-
teen days at sea, it naturally looked
beautiful, but England's pastoral
beauty was not lessened by the passing
days. 1t is country Of low hills, all
very green and covered with groves
or square fields bordered by hedges.
Here and there are old castles, but not
20 many as had expected. The days
are very long at this time Of the year,
and late in the evening stroll is in
spring. If England had nothing more,
it could rightly boast Of its pastoral
beauty. . l. e.tl

''The English are friendly, but in a
reserved way. They are extremely
self satisfied. I was astonished to
find that it was an almost timid peo-
rle who had brought together such
large empire, and wonder If they can
keep it. Their strong point is thei-
governing body which seems to have
but one point in view, the good Of the
nation. When talking to an English
man I asked him about the Labor
party. He said, "They deserved a
chance and it was given to them, and
as long as they make good they will
be backed by the people. When our
premier talks, he talks for the nation,
and it was a great surprise and disap-
pointment to England when the United
States failed to come into the league.

in their red coats and tall, black
woody hats, with their distinctive drill,
come marching up to review at Buck

cheer them. An American living in
