The peculiar part of his trip was
that every once in while he would
get a. strike and lose part of his line.
After this had occurred two or three
times he decided to get a very heavy

a wire leader Prepared with this
heavier tackle he once more put his

The failure of the Athletics this sea
son proves rather conclusiyely that
season of 154 games isthe true test of
ball clubs actual strength, which, in
turn, proves that it is almost impos-
sible for young team to last over
that long stretch.
Early in the Spring training season
saw the Athletics play. and it struck
me that they We're not only young and
unbalanced. but were badly lacking in
the speed necessary to a champion. 1t

my early prediction. AS the season

From the start of the season the
Washington club played steady, fast
base ball They hit the stride of a
seasoned champion and stuck right to
1t, while the Athletics went up and
down.
Speed vitality Essential.
Unusually good spurts of pitching
carried the Athletics along, and the
hitting was excellent. That combina-
| ton, however, could not keep up the
pace without more speed.

everything it has into its early efforts
and eventually cracks under the long

! it may come late. The longer it is de-
Iayed the more complete is the col
lapse when it does come. That prin-
ciple, l imagine, holds good in other
professions and in big business.
A slump always is harder on those
who are unused TO it. In another sea-
son the same club would be able to
stand up under its first big setback
and fight back all the harder. But a
I u.
which comes from experience.
Ball clubs never win a pennant
without speed. 1t makes up the diff
ference in those cloSe-score games.
Just look at the base running record
and you will see the weak spot in the
Philadelphia club-the lack of speed
that caused them to fall just short of
the mark.
Bishop Cited as Example.
For example, Max Bishop, one of
the most talked-of infielders, had stolen
but five bases up to the past week. In
fact, he went past the middle of the
sea son having had but two stolen
bases. According to these official rec
ords, the fastest men on the club were
Simmons, with 10 steals; Galloway,
with 16, and Miller. with II.
Two men on the Pirates, Cuyler and
IdreS, ndu SlOIen "a bases ~ Gays
ago.
The mere stealing of bases. however,
does not always indicate the exact
speed OF a club. 1t is a good indica-
ton, though. It is running out hits,
taking extra bases, and in the way
outfielders and irffielders step out on
their start after fly balls and ground
ers. In other words, a team will be
either what we call a slow-moving
club or a fast-moving one. The Ath-
letics showed in the Spring that they
were of a slow-moving type. 1t is to
their credit that they did as Well as
they did on the good pitching and hit
ting alone.
| A real championship team must
have the combination of good pitching
good hitting, fast movement and expe-
rience. These last two were lacking

10 take layoffs when the race was

Washington had plenty of handi-
caps to overcome because of injuries.
Here II was that the clubs fine re-

were very fortunate in having capable
substitutes for practically every posi-

have turned out a neck-and-neck

material.
Like every member of the Wash
fngton Club and fans in general, | am
tickled to death that Roger Peckin-
paugh has been selected as the most
valuable player in the American
League There is no question but
what the choice was well merited.
Peck richly deserved the Honor be-
slowed upon him. He is a wonderful
player and a great fellow both on and
off the base ball field.
The Washington Club and Capital

proud of the record of the world

The speed which enables a base

often changes the result of a close

are deadly killers of batting rallies.

If the scores of dozen games could

They had real test put on their
courage when they met the Giants in
New ork in what was rightly called
engagements the Pirates probably
would have gone to pieces and the
Giants would now be getting ready to
take the field for another world series.
But the Pirates showed their ability
and courage when the test came. They
took the Giants into camp on the lat
ker's home grounds. To all intents
and purposes the National League
race was over, so far as the winner
was concerned, when the Pittsburgh
club rose to the occasion and whipped
the New Workers. The test of a real
championship club comes when 1t
takes the field against a contending
rival.
The Pirates beat the Giants this sea-
son when first place hung in the
balance. Washington did the same
thing with the Athletics. Both cham
pionship clubs had to fight their way
TO the top and then fight some more to
hang on to hard-earned advantages.
They proved their class when the
pinch came.
The victory of the Pirates spoiled
John McGraw's dream Of winning five
flags in row. The New York club
had some bad breaks this season. else
they might have turned the trick any
way. McGraw's club, however, has
strangle hold on second place and from
the present outlook ought TO be in the
thick of the fight again another year.
The world champions have had some
bad breaks lately in the way of in
juries. Peck and Johnson have been
on the ailing squad. I'm full-hedged
member myself. However, we all hope
TO be ready and in tip-top shape when
Washington takes the field against the
Pirates on October Z.

Badness is embarrassing.
No one wants to be bald;
but thousands are facing
that danger-through neg
lect.
There is a very scientific
reason why dandruff forms;
the hair falls; and the scalp
becomes irritated and bald
ness ensues.
DR.. P. A. Thomas, a sci
enlist of international prom
inence, studied the causes
of badness and devised
the scientific treatment
which overcomes the con-
ditions - sets nature to
