The washington team CAN and probably will win the pen
in the American League Il would then have equal
chance to win the worlds championship Optistic7 Yes
Founded on cvsr-enthusiasm7 No.
OF course there ifs in the foreground many big ones
but sometimes the IFS work out right We have spenddly
balanced It has superior in the league Il is head
Ing the toward the goal The players in just the right
frame Of mndconfdent and keyed to the ideal phto 60
right on winning victory after victory.
Off the dark spots members Of the Old Man Gloom
family They'll crack these pessiists croak They remind
you Of Of the atmosphere in the Pilgrims Progress
They haven't faith members Of the team listened to them
the team would be in the LAST division in two weeks.
But the isn't in the dumps It is not expecting be
an there will be setbacs but if the men continue to show
the grit and determination they have displayed in the last few
weeks will take setbacks to change the feeling Of
The winning Of the pennant will depend almost much
upon the Washington public upon the team Steady
everything to the boys It would take wonderful
team superhuman in qualities to win without hearty backing
if losing streak should be encountered Encourage
menthe friendly hand under all circumstances the factor
that brings from the best they've got and leads
stage Of game Never let up because the team happens to
be well ahead in particular game The tables sometimes
turn Give the boys continuous boost when things going
against them Many good horse and many good athlete
comes from behind at the critical moment and pucks vic
tory from defeat.
And the team itself You boys are working to-
geher in harmony So far you not letting petty jeaoues
creep in and create friction You pulling together
WINNING THE REMNANT aninates you Keep that mental
state and you'll cop
On the contrary il you get to pickering: some Of Won
get because other player getting many boosts
from the sport writer's your will be short lived
y the team spirit that wins all remnants Each individual
man must subege personal anmoss grudges for the
good Of the whole
i would be unfortunate any two or three men on the
team should begin to feel that they doing it all No
one man is 1.-THE whole thing in any organization There
isn't in the world who can't be replaced by an equally
good although the change might bring temporary harm
No man anywhere is Indispensable he thinks he
victim OF sWelled head and short Of common
powers and strength confident of his abilities but he knows
that there are other just able The greater he
among his fellow men simply because he puts everything
has into the doing Of the tasks ahead Of him.
Go ahead, boys and win You "stars the can t
get that pennant strictly by your efforts You can and
wiz 90 big things in that direction Yet is the harmonious
working Of all that promises the most The truth is that the
team is mighty evenly balanced Some players get much
newspaper boosting but there splendid players every
ngton and yourselves keep cool heads and don't let your
top pieces become inflated through the familiar swelling
process"
