demonstrations of speed, skill and

would say that the other half of
batting is 40 per cent ability and 10
per cent luck. These proportions may
not be exact. but the so per cent is
correct It is not how but where the

Managers Greatest Problem.
To Undue his men with confidence
and courage, to keep trying, really
fighting, in the face of bad breaks.
that is by far the greatest problem
OF the manager. There is not much
difference in the actual mechanical
skill of the eighth place team and the
pennant winners. That is shown by
the fact that the tailenders occasion
ally win a series from clubs, which,
at the moment. appear much strong

The pennant winners work harder
than the losers, and that applies par
ticularly to their pitchers. Certain
pitchers are encouraged to believe
that they can beat certain teams
