There may be a measure of truth In

New York Only Asks Two Pennants This Year
By W. t. MACBETH.
NEW YORK, April ".-There Is a re
mote possibility of New York "bogging
the world'a championship series next fall.
No club la the National league haa a
better chance for the pennant than John
J. MeG raw's aglla champions. Barry
Wolverton's outlook with the Highland
ers does not appear nearly aa bright aa
VcG raw's, but this club haa a great deal
better than an outside lookln with ths
sensational world's champion Athletics.
Let us first consider the Highlanders,
for they are the more doubtful proposi
tion. Wolverton firmly believes that he
has a chance to wrest the crown from
Connie Mack's brow. Ha is not under
estimating ths Athletics; perhaps over
estimating1 his own followers. A convic
tion will go a long way fa any honest
purpose. Wolverton not only believes In
bis team, but be haa every member of
the squad Infused with the desire to make
the very beat possible showing. There
Is not a man on the payroll but has com
plete confidence In himself end his
teammates Individually and collectively.
The club Is hooked up far mors closely
than It has ever before been amalga
mated. A snappy, hustling style of play,
with every athlete full of life and poise
Is bound to provs at least an Interesting
novelty to American league fsna who
have been used to look upon ths Hllltop-
pera aa a rather lethargic group, despite
any race position they might occupy.
Wolverton Is a manager who will aet
every ounce of energy out of his follow-,
. He la a hustler; a driver. But he
never asks a player to work harder than
himself, and he drives himself as long
and arduously as the veriest recruit

NEW YORK, April JB.-WI11 ths races
for ths pennant In the two major leagues
ths National and American, be close this
yssr, or will they be another procession
for ths Athletics la ths Ban Johnson cir
cuit and another victory for the Oianta
In the Tom Lynch organisation? Tbs
answer to that question lies with ths
Ova new managers appointed In the
American league and the two new chief
tains in ths National.'
Ths Athletics havs ths best ehsncs sf
repeating, not only because of their great
all around strength, demonstrated In the
world's series last fail, but because five
of ths teams In ths service will be ex
perimenting with new pilots. No matter
how gifted and experienced a manager
may be. It Invariably takes over ons
son tor him to get accustomed to
his talent and It s only a miracle
and these are not days ot miracles if he
brings his charges boms pennant Win
ers. , ' .
Ths Tigers with Hug hey Jennings as
boss, the Browns with Riiody Wallace
again at ths helm, and ths Athletics wl'-h
the peerless Conele Mack are ths eiur
clubs In ths American leagus posaaag
ths same managers ttsy possessed lait
reason- or course, tne urowns am ax
taken seriously by anybody, and the Ue-
trolta, because of their Inability to ae
Qulre any new material and bisauss of
the growing dimness of au?i stars aa
Crawford and Mullin. and tbs refusal of
shortstop Ownls Bush to sign, should
not cause tbs Philadetphlans muc'i worrr.
Ths Athletics undoubtedy fear the MUro-
Isnders and ths Red Sox las most or
sny ot ths dubs la the league. Although
both of these teams era trotting out
managers they didn't havs last year, both
are at acknowledged ability and ot the
caliber that should & successful.
Jake Stahl, who Is tbs mentor of tbs
Hub! tea. has bad lots of experience aa
big leagus manager- 'or a. long time
hs bad the senators under his wing, but
bs wasn't a success la Washington. Was
there ever a manager who wast He next
drifted to New York and then to the
Bostons, where hs was lvea Us rotas

away from him, causing his retirement
from the gams tor a 7sar, . r
CaaaUagr Meaey Xewertaswwa.
Ever alncs Stahl got out of the gams
he has been busy counting nosey ta his
and admire hla fine knowledge of the
game gained In a long and flattering
period of service tn the ranks. Wolver
ton's theory Is that a team of ordinary
player-, pulling together at all times, has
twice the chance of success that a bunch
sf stars would havs If some of them
overlooked tbs common welfare In sel
fish motives, .
Harry Wolverton haa no bad club.
There are few weak spots to be found
anywhere In the array. These are pros
pective weaknesses. There la a big ques
tion whether Earl Gardner la physically
equipped for the strsln of a full cam
paign. Ho long as his strength lasts he
will play the bag to perfection. Hs has
always been ons of ths team's best hit
ters la the spring till weakness forced
him from the regular line-up. Gardner
la the only problematic weak link of the
Inner chain. Hal Chase never In his llfs
played the ball he baa shown thla spring.
He never employed hla speed to nettsr
advantage on ths paths. He Is taking
desperate chances snd getting away with
them. Such a spirit Is bound to make
him one. of the moat sensational base
runners In the game. Hsrtxell Is a H
per cent Improved ball player at short
Ha covers more ground at thla position,
takes the throw much better and haa
more use for hla wonderfully strong arm.
He appears to havs just been awakened
to his hitting ability, and looks like one
of the best blnglers working for Wolver
ton. Dolan la by tr the best third base
nun who svsr played on ths HI1L He
has a great pair of hands snd a fins
arm. He handlea a slow ball to perfec
tion and thla la the real teat of third
basing ability. Dolan la a very faat and
heady base runner, and so far has dis
played no batting weakness. That leaves
the key to ths Infield situation up to
father's bank at Chicago. Hs became
tired of ths monotonous Job of looking
at yellowbacks and listening to ths Jingle
of coin. Ths ownsrs of ths Boston club
besesched him to return to ths diamond,
and after an aluring otter was mads to
him to manage tbs team and cover first
bass hs accepted.
Stahl says that hs will show the asms
ability to corns back displayed by Jimmy
Callahan at Chicago, and ha figures that
with a pitching staff that boasts ot two
such great stars as Jos Woods and Buck
O'Brien, and wtlh a team made up sf
such hitters as Speaker, Hooper, Lewis
and Engle. his club will cut a big figure
In ths present race.
Manager Wolverton has never had any
axpsrtence as a big league manager, but
he haa bad plenty of experlenea aa a
big leagus player. Howsver, hs displayed
auch ability to lead at Oakland on tbs
coast this year, and also has demon
strated such qualities as guide In the
spring training that great things are
expected ot hiss.
Wolverton haa a great staff of pitchers
It they keep In ahapa. in Street he has
ons ot ths best backstops la the business,
while his Infield, wtlh such stars as
Hartssll and Chess, snd his outfield,
made up ot cracks Ilka Cres and Wolter,
need not tsks much back water from
any club In tbs country.
Jimmy Callahan, the popular Chicago
outfielder, will get his first fling at
managing a team. Another leagus ex
periment will he Harry Devta at Cleve
land. Davis has watched the maneuvers
and methods ot Connie Mack so long at
Philadelphia that hs ought to be abls
to deliver the goods.
Clarke Griffith has never been a huge
success anywhere ot lata and he abould

NEW YORK. April .-There has beea

the assoclstlon toward the preservatlun

A plan to direct players and tourna

application were mailed to playera, clubt

Adverse criticism soon appeared. la

NEW YORK.. April .-In these dara
when- people discuss in considerable de
tail the relation of mind to matter and
are prone to consider the psychological
aide of nearly every question It becomes
aa axiom that the success of a man In
sports or any 9ther competition depend
ing on ths physical, rests on the recogni
tion ot the power of the mind over the
muscles. "Hs can who thlnka hs can."
la true more particularly of golf than
of any. other game. A man who be
lieves it possible to make a stroke finds
ths stroke actually possible. A player
who eliminates the Impossible from his
mind evolves a possible' victory. The
trained mind In connection with trained
muscles must necessarily win over mere
trained muscles In the long route.
Only a tew years ago all that was con
sidered essential to saccesa In sports
was a set of well trained muscles. Now
It Is rapidly becoming recognised that
In these days a player to bs successful
must not only have a set of well trained
muscles, but must havs his mind In
training so thst his mind will be equal
to that ot bis physique, and even more so.
There are people, and they are count
less, who have hsd superstitions tor
years, peculiar notions ss to certain
signs thst mean victory or defeat They
have drifted Into' ths habit of pinning
their faith to charms and signa supposed
to make tor good luck. The horseshoe,
the four leafed clover, the lucky atone
and the rabbit's foot all have bean called
Into service.
Borne may scoff at ths credulity ot a
golfer who starts a round with supreme
confidence against an opponent because
he carries In his pocket the left hind foot
ot a gray rabbit killed tn a graveyard on
the first Friday night of the full moon,
but frequently results Justify hii con
fidence. Ths first ball he drives might
land Int. a bunker or the rough, but he u
not the least flurried, for be Is convinced
that hs cannot loos with that sign of
good luck In hla pocket In the end be
wins. , ........
Rabbit Foot Helps.
The confidence, ths mental attitude ot
that player won that gams for him, and
just so far as ths rabbit's toot acting
on bis mind helped to produce a con
fident mental attitude that far It helped'
In winning.
Recent study of psychology, however,
has revealed mors reliable methods of
producing mental confidence than "can
be furnished by signs and charms. Those
who can maintain a winning attitude of
mind without the use of these charms are
those who are moat successful. Trainers
now seek to get the men under their care
Into such a mental condition that nothing
feaxes them. -
The average beginner in golf will usu
ally play much better for ths first fsw
weeks than hs will biter on. As he comes
to understand ths finer snd mors dif
ficult points of the gams hs plays with
less confidence then whsn hs began. To
explain this It will be necessary to call
attention to only two or three phases ot
ths gsme.
Tho hsxards ot ths golf course are aa
a rale mors of a tost of tho mind thsa
of tho muscles. Hsxards for ths most
part are not built for muscular testa
Those which players most frequent fall to
negotiate are those that need a drive of
not more than IS yards to clear. A player
who might cover such a dlatanca without
effort becomes fearful when facing ths
haxard and generally will fall undsr
these circumstances to overcome ths
trap. Ths haxard becomes mors difficult
as tho menu! uncertainty Is Incrsaaed.
Soma players find water hsxards more
difficult for ths apparent reason that ths
risk of losing ths ball affects ths mental
attitude unfavorably.
I'slag Good Jadgsseat.
A great deal of what la called luck In
the gams Is encountered In a bad lis. Ths
player who can best Judge ths lis of his
baU and select ths proper dub to use
usually can make good. But ths Us of
ths ball Is not judged by the eye alone.

Blood Poison most medicines used for the treatment of the disease are
composed lairely of mineral drugs. It is intended that these shaO kill
the germs and virus of the disease by working on the principle thst one
poison counteracts the effects of another. Such treatment always fails
to make a permanent cure because these germs cannot be killed,
within the system. Strong mineral mixtures may temporarily check
the activity of the contagious virus, and in this way "dry up" or re
move the outer signs of blood poison, but aa soon as such treatment is
left off and the system reacts from its Influence, the disease "comes
back" and the sufferer finds he has been deceived.
In no other disease is a thorough cleansing of the blood more nec

taminate the blood that no portion of the body is exempt from Election

player win examine tho lie of his baU,
note ths contour of the ground and tho
distance to be gained, and then will call
for a dub. Ho may address his ball,
hesitate, and call for a different dub. His

Many excellent' medal players are only
ordinary match playera. In a match con
test they cannot-play a given course
within a dozen strokes of their medal
rounds. This would seem to bs wholly a
mental difficulty, for their muscles are
Just tbs same. Some can It lack of nerve:
but hero again It ts ths mind that af
fects ths nerves. The presence of an op
ponent Introduces aa element that Is not
present In medal play. There might be a
slight fear of the opponent's ability, and
what Is more difficult the mental atti
tude of an opponent ts that ot an op
posing mind. Hla ons thought Is to win
and necessarily against tho other player.
Of two opponents who are In other re
spects equal, that ons who has tne most
pronounced mental confidence that hs can

Moods are easily and Instantly sensed
by the subconscious mind. An opponent
Instinctively feels his competlttor's mental
attitude. If a playe Is discouraged his
opponent at once senses it and Is cor
respondingly encouraged. If a player hag
supreme confidence, his opponent Is cor
respondingly depressed. It has been found
necessary for a player to disregard a bit
of brilliancy by his opponent and become
absorbed In -his own game and ths man
ner In which It Is played.

The winning player must learn to Inter

afraid to overrule tho Judgment formed
by the sight ot tho eya and tho strength
of the muscle for tho suggestion of tho
Instinct That which cannot bs satis

often bo best sensed or suggested by tho
action ot ths subconscious mind.
If the player's mind Is positive, firm.
certain, ths muscles will respond accord
ingly. The moment that uncertainty Is
felt tho will correspondingly hesitates
snd ths muscles relax accordingly. It a
player loses two or three holes In suc
cession he begins to feel tired and weak.
but If he should win ths next three ho
would soon forget his weariness and
weakness. In fact ho becomes strong and
fresh snd his nerve steady. His muscles '
had not been tired, but his mind had been
discouraged by ths loss ot a few holes.
Many a player when pitted against a
