WHY HANS WAGNER IS GREAT Plttaburg Leader Says Hia Shortstop Is Best Man Playing the Hit and Run Game in the World. By FRED CLARKE. (Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.) Hit and hustle. The whole secret of w inning is con tained tn those two words That Is the way Pittsburg has won and that Is the way every winning team I ever have played with or against has won There Is less difference between the ability of players to perform than most persons think The great differ ence Is in their courage, nerve and determination to win 1 believe In bitting and in hitting to help the team, for after all the work of the individual player is not worth much unless he directs every effort to helping the other players on the club. The thing that makes Wagner the greatest hitter in I he world is his w ill ingness to help base runners, com bined with his ability to help them. He is the best man playing the hit and run game, either on the bases or when at bat. in the world, and his willingness to spoil his own record to win lor the team shows the difference betw«-en him and some others I be lieve it has paid him. instead of in juring his record i lea tu.s just to snow now inipor tant working together is to the suc cess of a ball club Every man must be in harmony on the ball field during tie game It is the common interest that welds them together to make a winning club, and a manager cannot afford to have one loose cog One might as well throw a wrench into an engine as to put a discordant piajer Into l good club Thtre is much talk of 'brains" on the ball field Of course, a player must have intelligence and be able to think and to remember, but l think the greater part of baseball "brains" consists of close attention to the game every instant, and both on and off the field The worst mistakes made by players are not those that come from la< k of brains so much as from lack of attention to what his own team or tr.eir.li rs of the other team are doing or trying to do A winning player has his mind on the game all the time, and makes a study of it just as a man In any ether trade or profession must do M> player* thick I am something of a crank on discipline, and on keeping in condition Perhaps that is so. 1 b. iieve in careful training in the »l'nn. and still more careful training and ondrtiocitig during the entire season The modern player must study fcin.self if he is to succeed and continue to su< td lie must know his own condition and avoid cither growing stale or indulging himself too much either eating or drinking l tint k v garett- - are the worst things poss.ub for a player, both for his wind acd for t is eyes |{ a player tak .- a drink of ale or beer he ought to do i: alter a hard game, or when he fv eis himself in danger of going stale As ior tie playing <f the game itself, the chief thing is lo watch for every oy ■ nit.g to be ready to seize on any advamage. and to do the unexpected thii g when it counts Doing things when they count wins games. The same things done at other times mere ly cost strength Every man on the Pittsburg team is Fred Clarke. assistant captain and manager, and every one who sees a move on the other side Instantly coaches the otn ers. That ts what 1 call team work— every one working to win the game every minute and helping the others. Also a winning team ought to fight for every point; claim it aud go after it: not rowdyism, but aggressiveness is the point. It makes the other side less confident and helps get an "even break." which Is all any team should ask. BEST BATTERS USE A CHOP Chance Says the Strongest Batters Do Not Swing Viciously at the Ball. Vicious swinging and over-anxiety to clout the ball for two or more bases are two of the principal reasons why many minor league players do not make good when trying for a berth on a major league team, thinks Man ager Chance of the Cubs. Of course, it is the one and sole ambition of any youngster to make good, and he fig ures that the only way he can do this is by hitting the sphere for more than a .300 average right off the reel, in his efforts to attain this excellency in batting, he is over anxious to hit the ball for extra bases, and swings vi ciously at the bail when thrown to the plate. As a result, he does not meet it consistently, and when he does it usually is a fiy to the outfielder. In the opinion of Manager Chance a minor league recruit will never mr.ke good as a sticker if he depends on his swinging ability to hit the ball. The majority of the leading hitters in the National and American leagues are men who use a short swing and chop. There was only one man who had a reputation as a great hitter who swung with great force at a bait, says Manager Chance. He was Ed. Dele hantv. who Is dead. Of the present stars with the stick. Manager Chance thinks that I-arry l.a joie of Cleveland, is about the pret tiest baiter of the entire lot. Manager Chance thinks that if the minor 1<. ; uc recruits or all of the minor league players will endeavor to adopt the style of hitting of the big league hatters their chances of tua kirg good will bo increased According to his idea, they should avoid the system of bringing their bat away in back of them and then swinging Instead, keep the hat against their shoulder or in front of them and then chop at ibe hail in an | effort to meet It squarely. CARDINAL TWIRLER WHO STOPPED THE CHICAGO CUBS Pilcher Sallee of St. Louis is showing improved form as the season ad vances and has been a stumbling block to the leaders. It was his curves . that stooped Chicago's winning streak. FANS GLAD RUBE’S ARM WASN’T BROKE WADDELL HASN’T SEEN LAST DAY ON THE DIAMOND. — SYMPATHIZES WITH RAYMOND Jackson, Mich„ Has Manager Who Is Blind—Bonesetter Reese Retires From Practise—“Mickey” Doolan of Phillies a Jekyll-Hyde. _ . Everybody was glad when It was found that Rube Waddell's arm was not broken as at first reported, and . that the St. Louis star has not seen | his last day on the diamond. There is no pitcher the fans would rather ; see in action than the Rube when he is right. And when he is going at his best there is no twirler the other teams fear more. Waddell has undergone a wonderful ' change since the season opened this | year, and can no longer be regarded as the most flighty and widely advert tised freak in the game. Rube is still full of fun. One of the Browns was reading a story the other day about how Bugs Raymond, the New York Giants' eccentric pitch er. had kicked over the traces be cause McGraw had appointed a keep er for him. Rube listened attentively. ■'It's a shame that fellow doesn't take care of himself." said Rube feel ingly. just as thousands used to make the remark about the only Rube. "He 1 would be a wonder if he would just keep in condition and pay strict at tention to business." Probably the only baseball manager in the world who is literally blind— not as those who having eyes see not. hut absolutely sightless—is Pert Tay lor. manager of the Jackson Stars of Jackson. Mich. This blind manager handles his team from the bench His men swear by him and do better work before his sightless eyes than when working under the supervision of a man who can watch the plays. But Taylor does watch the plays. He sits on the bench with his men and knows just what plays are made He knows at all times the record of balls and strikes on the batter and never fails to recognize a foul. With almost un canny intuition he can tell, possibly from the sound ot' the ball against the bat. the field to which the ball has been batted. He argues a point with the umpire just as earnestly as though he had seen the entire play, and his howl of protest aaginst a decision is just as vigorous as any lan could de sire His team won the City league pennant in 190S and this year has won 22 games out of a total of 25. Fred Tenney has been taking mat ters easily at Poston acd says that he is in no hurry to work again, al though if the right thins eame along he would not hesitate a second. “I do net feel as if my tuajo.- league days are over." he says. "I feel as good as I ever did in my life, and I was never more surprised in my life than when 1 was handed my conge by Mr. Mc Grav . | have rec-'ived several offers to get back In the game ar.d some of them appeal to me decidedly, but I prefer to stay in major league com pany a while yet and am confident l could help more than one club for a few seasons. Had McGraw let me go at the outset, there is no question at all that 1 could have made a most desira! le connection. However. ] am not worrying. 1 feel sure that had President Brush been in first-class health and on the scene. I would not have been dropi*od." Bonesetter John D. Reese of Youngstown, O.. famed the world over as "fixer” of bail players, has rendered his last service to diamond athletes. ! according to his own announcement. He doc's not give any reason, but it is believed that his poor health of the ■ past several months compelled hliu to make this decision. Tommy Leach of ; the Pirates, who was recently tnjured. was notified that the bonesetter could not render hint the service required, as was also Tim Jordan, the former Brooklyn first baseman now with Toronto "Mickey" IWtan of the Phllties. ■ tough of name, walk and actions, is a Jekyll and Hyde—a leader of double ; lives.

One Prodigal (tFirst Nighter9 9 Men Indulge curious ambitions. Some hare been known to follow the engines to every fire or to attend every ball game. Others have aspired to eat thirty quail in thirty days. An aesthetic equivalent of these feats was undertaken by the prominent man abont town whose aim it was to wit ness every opening performance at the theater, and to him clearly belongs the palm. He set in himself in the name of amusement a task from which con scientious professional critics shrink in the line of duty. Assuming that he consistently adhered to his program, he attended 156 first-night perform ances last year in a season of forty weeks. He saw seventy-four new plays and thirty-four revivals of old plays, thirty-seven musical comedies and eleven Shakespearian revivals. What an amount of confused and tenuous plots, of Inane dialogues, of revamped witticisms and jingling melody ha heard along with a little that was worth while!—a modicum of pathos that rang true, of real tragedy and a saving grace of genuine acting in strong situations. If a play is useful as a purge of the emotions, as Aris totle said, the emotions of this per sistent first-nighter, his sternly re pressed impulses to tears and laugh ter, must have been la a readily re sponsive state. ROYAL WELCOME FOR RfflSEVELI Vast Throng Greets the Former President at New York. HE IS MET AT QUARANTINE Escorted to the Battery by a Great Flotilla—Speeches and Land Pa rade—Affair la Spontaneous and Non-Partisan. New York.—He has come back! Theodore Roosevelt returned to his native land June 18. and was given a welcome home such as was never before accorded to a citizen of this republic. The whole country joined In It. and It was so spontaneous and so utterly non-partisan that it could not but be most flattering to the for mer president. Since emerging from the African Jungle the latter part of March. Mr. Roosevelt has been the gv.est of near ly every European ruler and almost unprecedented honors have been heaped on him. The reception by his fellow citizens was s fitting cli max to his triumphal tour and must have been the most satisfactory event connected with it. Flotilla Meets Him at Quarantine. More than a month ago every avail able craft in New York harbor had been engaged for the day. and nu merous big organizations, like the Re • guests. Including senators, represent stives, ambassadors and close per sonal friends of Mr. Roosevelt- 9ur rounding this enclosure was another reserved space which was occupied by about 2.500 prominent men and mem bers of the big reception committee. The cheering and music were al most continuous as the colonel en tered the park, but finally quiet vu restored and Mayor Gaynor stepped forward and delivered a cordial ad dress of welcome on behalf of the na tion and the city. Mr. Roosevelt re sponded briefly but feelingly, and short speeches were made by several other prominent men. Much as he would have liked to be present to greet hla predecessor. President Taft was kept away on account of his off. dal position and by a previous en gagement. Parade Through the City. When the speech making was over, the parade through the dty streets started. It was originally Intended to conclude the reception with a mon ster parade, and invitations were is sued to varioua organitations through out the country. Within a few days, __ however, the committee was flooded with so many applications that the parade feature had to be In part aban doned. Organliatlons from Maine to California and from the Gulf to the Great ljBces requested places In the line of march, and If the project had been carried out. the procession would have extended from the Battery to the Harlem river and back again, a distance of 20 miles, and the people who had traveled hundreds of miles to see Roosevelt would have been de prived of the pleasure. In order to overcome this obstacle so that no one would be offended, a unique arrange ment was adopted by the commtttee. All organlxations that wished to par ticipate in the parade were assigned ■ ■ ■ - ■ ' -- -■ ■. . * fAw o»r?^ v to*? I’ShWm .'Al 1 Vktom«Kl S.

Karly in the morning this immense flotilla sailed far down the bay. and when, about ? o'clock, she scouting tugs and motor boats came flying in with the word that the Kaiserin Au guste Victoria w-as approaching, all made ready for the first greeting. As the big liner came into sight, ev ery whistle on every vessel was tied open and shrieked the welcome to the returning wanderer. Ocionel Roose velt. with Mrs. Roosevelt and Ker rnft by his side, stood on the deck, waring his hand and smiling the fa miliar smile, and the waiting thou sands cheered him again and again. Reception Committee Takes Him. At Quarantine the necessary for malities were quickly over and the official reception committee took the colonel and his party aboard Its rev enue cutter. That vessel at once started up the harbor and all the gaily decorated craft, filled with clubs and private parties, fell in behind and formed a most spectacular water pa rade. On almost every boat was a band, and all the way the musicians played at the top of their lungs. The shores were black with people who shouted their greetings to "Teddy" as he passed and the factories and mills added the noise of their whis tles to the general din. So it went ail the way up to Twen ty-third street, where the parade turned and made its way back to the Battery. At that historic spot at the lower end of Manhattan island Col onel Roosevelt landed to receive the formal welcome home. Welcomed by Mayor Gaywor. In an enclosure In the center of Bat tery park were 300 distinguished I ___ _____ w certain blocks a long tbe Mne «i march; for instance. one or two hfcvks were assigned to some v»si:*r.g dub. and the next to the public, and so on. The procession Itself was compara tively small and was led by the mount ed police of V* York, who were fol lowed by the police band on foot. Then came the escort of 500 Rough V Riders under the command of Robert - Hunter of Oklahoma city, president of the organiiation. Colonel Roose velt came next in a carriage, and hi* carriage w-as followed by a long pro cession of vehicles containing the members of tbe committee and the speakers. The procession made its way up Broadway to Wurth street where it turned into Fifth avenue and pro ceeded up that thoroughfare to Fifty ninth street, where ft disbanded.
