It is a beautiful state of bliss, but, take it from me. a young man in that state of mind doesn’t win many ball games. It is quite natural for the wives to want to attend the ball games and see their heroes at work. Base ball has become a part of their lives.

As I go to bed I am reminded of that message in the Christmas Carol. I quote it for you: “They lighted on a ship. They stood beside the helmsman at the wheel, the lookout in the bow, the officers who {had the watch: durk, Rhostly figures in their several stations; but every man among them hummed a Christ- mas tune, or had & Christmas thought, or spoke below his breath to his com- panion of some bygone Christmas day. witll homeward hopes belonging to It.

There are other wives who will | not attend a game in which their husbands appear. They get eo ner- vous over his possible tuccess or failure that they fear they will makag themeelves conspicuous. I wish all of them thought that way. The wife of one of our greatest pitchers would never come to the Polo Grounds on the day her husband pitched. She followed the progress of the game, though. by a rather unique method. Their apartment was on the heights. From the front window it was possible to see the scoreboard by the aid of a palr of fleld glasses. Often this wife and the wives of other players used to gather there in the afternoon and have tea while the game was golng on. This particular wife knew what dishes her husband liked most. One of his favorites was corned beef and cabbage. If the glasses showed the Giants behind she would immediately start preparing that dish., Upon his arrival hgme the grouch of defeat would disappear. She would never mention the game until the dinner| was over. The wives and sweethearts who really cause the player trouble and embarrassment are the foolish ones. Many ball players, as you know, come into ‘the leagues with little knowledge of life, especially big city life. They are carried away with hero worship and marry some girl who really seeks the limelight more than the love of ought to prepare | HOPPE MAKES 314 RUN IN EXHIBITION CUE TILT NEW YORK, Mareh 3.—Willie Hoppe, world kline champion, made & run of 314 in an exhibi- tion contest in the Hoppe-Peter- mon room.

As a rule ball players marry some girl with | whom they have been brought up in the little home town. It is seldom that divorce cases grow out of that kind of marriage Nolay Wives Annoy. These foolish wives or sweethearts who sit in the stand and vell out en- | dearing encouragement to their hus- bands are genuine distraction. They not only embarrass the player but of- ten make it very uncomfortable for those about them in the stands. You can well imagine the feelings of a player when he leaves the bench to g0 to bat at a critical moment and suddenly hear a soprano voice from the stands ecream out: “There goes my dearfe! It s the reai, wholesome woman | of good, hard, common sense who helps the ballplayer to success. Of- ten they have been my very help- ful allies in getting a player to im- prove his work or to take care of himeelf. On one occasion there was a pitcher who suffered many defeats through lack of control. His wife went with | him on the spring training trip. He knew his failing but did not have the patience to correct it. His wife. knowing what was required, took charge of him during his off hours and insisted upon him putting in so much practice in the court back of the hotel. There was no escape. Any time he felt lazy she was right on the job. Much of that man's later success was due to that wonderful wife. As a rule I do not approve wives accompanying their base ball hus- bands on the road trips. They seem to distract his attention. Again, a lot of wives, when thrown together in jsuch close association, are bound to talk and_gossip over what they have heard. While they mean no harm, the husbands are often worried over this. They learn things about other |players that otherwise would not have interested them. For that reason I think it & bad practice to have a num- ber of wives travel with a team.

She did, and the young fellow had a good year. 1 have received dozens of questions to_be answered on this subject, but nobody is going to trap me into say- ing whether I think a ball player should be married or single. If I said that they ought not to get married every kid on the club,would imme- diately begin thinking about that girl. Then I would get some lively letters from some of the wives, 1 fear.

When the attack ap- proached the first line of three men they permit the first two opponents to go on through, if they do not hap- pen to have the ball, knowing they will be covered by the guards. When the third man attempts to go through, he is covered by the man nearest to him. This is also true for the fourth and the fifth, should the latter try to go through.
