SHIFT IN TACTICS
WINS FOR PIRATES
When Sacrifice Was Logical
Play Glenn Wright Hits
Out Homer.

When the Giants were In Pittsburgh
recently, the Pirates beat them in
ten-inning game in a manner which
was such a change in tactics from
what would have been pursued with
the then subdued ball that 1t made vet
eran players wonder. Twas tactics
revolutionary.
The Giants made two runs in the
tenth and led II to 8. Nehf passed
the first Pirate up in the eleventh and
he scored on hit by Barnhart. Tray
nor made an infield hit, putting men
on first and second with none out.
One run was needed TO tie, two TO
win, Wright was up. What would be
the orthodox, natural and rational
thing to do? To sacrifice, of course
and advance the tying run TO third
base and the winning run to second.
Then a hit would win the game.
Wright never made an effort to
hunt. No hunt was ordered. The way
he sacrificed was to take toe hold
and drive the bali into the right field
stand for a home run Effective be-
yond the question Of a doubt beauti-
fully elemental and effective, better
than all the finesse in the world the
way it worked out
Even in these hit 'er ont days OF
the lively ball it was a departure from
tactics approved by the soundest base
ball minds from time immemorial
Can it be that the bah this year is

tory of his country 1t is quite likely
that his intense love for Virginia
would have caused him to alter the
declaration quoted above.
Patrick Henry was born In Virginia
in 1876. He was given good educa-
ton and in f760 he was admitted to
the bar of his native state. Henry's
ability soon became evident. No other
public speaker of his time could sur
pass him in his hold upon his audience
and his impassioned addresses played
a prominent part in lining up the col
onists against the British. He was
one of the most bitter opponents of
the Stamp Act and it was his repeated
speeches against it that made its en-
forcement practically impossible.
The one declaration best remem-
bered of this orator is the famous one:
81 know not what course others may
take; but as for me give me liberty or
give me DEATH"

WHATEVER it may be with re-

that the mental atmosphere in which
you move from day to day has great
deal to do with your happiness.
