GO MANY things are being blamed
- upon the weather nowadays that
IT Is a relief to consider BrookIyn's
Dodgers. Since those athletes prob
ably would continue to drop decisions
even II they were performing within
the shadow Of the south pole, today's
collection of logic Is dedicated to those
persistent customers who annually
must be beset by ehIIIs while the heat
Is being turned on elsewhere.
Plainly. what is wrong with the
Dodgers as well as with such better
favored clubs as the Red Sox and the
Indians Is that even worse teamwork
is displayed by the bosses than by the
hired help. Until the front offices can
be made to understand the necessity Of
cooperation as well as of sustained
and intelligent planning, World Series
must continue to be played at the Polo
grounds, at Yankee stadium, in st.
Louis and Detroit.
BY this mean that there are too
many straw bosses floating around In

far more residents of Baltimore think
more often and more gratefully of the
Edward Hanlon who did so ably as
president of the park board than Of
the same younger Ned Hanlon who led
the orioles.
Let US try once more. To succeed
upon the diamond you must recognize
opportunity when it comes along. Dis
regard those bits of fiction which dot
the magazines. The real truth Is that
few players have become stars through
some combination of sheer strength
and awkwardness. The game Is one
In which you must strive to think faster

that the council will do more than 1t
did in the case of Japan's seizure of

that would be enough to induce Mus

Life Is What
You Make 1t,
Even in Sport
Q New York post-wNu Service,

TT Is a rule of mine that letters must
be answered promptly and yet the
one postmarked from small West Vir-
ginia town has been here for almost
a week. That is because i. q. But
enough of such stalling.
Dear Mr.. -: 1t was nice of you to
pick me out from the midst of all those
other sports writers whose stories you
read while trying to find some one
from whom to obtain support. Yet, at
the start, may as well tell you that
am going to fail you.
Perhaps you are right in saying that
your sen has had too good an educa-
ton to waste himself upon profess
sional baseball. That would depend
largely upon whether he has the ability
to reach the major leagues quickly and
to stay there for at least five years.
If he can make that grade then I
think that you are wrong in believing
that he will spend the rest of his life
regretting lost business opportunities.
Let us see.
The oldest living former National
league player resides in Boston. He
is past eighty and it has been more
than 40 years since he ended his ac-
tive days as one of the greatest of all
stars. Has George Wright spent all
those seasons thinking of the past and
regretting opportunities that were lost
by playing baseball?
Not a bit of it. Like A. G. Spalding,
another great player of another day,
his real fortune was achieved away
from the diamond and yet because Of
it. What he might have become with
out baseball do not know, but / dc
know that lessons learned in front of
wildly excited crowds in those old
wooden stands were invaluable to both
men later while they built up busi-
nesses that yielded them fortunes.
You say that you would not care for
him to travel around with a sporting
crowd. Honestly, Mr.. -, I should
not worry about that. There are all
kinds of definitions of sporting and so
let us look at another side of it.
