"
Now here's what they never
think about at all. what the folks
back home think about defeat after
defeat. How can you fellows down
here with the team tell them how
good it looks when it can't win.
That's what they want to know,
and ] don't blame them
"A fan has every right to say
that it can't be much of a team
when 1t can't defeat this one or
that one In an exhibition. He
can't begin to understand the men
tai attitude OF the average player
who simply doesn't care about the
result, one way or the other.
IT never ask you fellows to cover
up anything you see. IT you think
the team bad, and say so, that's
all right with me. It's up to me
to prove you're wrong. On the
other hand, If you boost the team
and 1t falls down, you face the
task of explaining that to the fans
at home. That's a much more
difficult task, I'd say. It Is much
easier for me to show half a
dozen baseball writer's something
than for that half dozen to explain
matters to $4,000 fans.
