It so happened that the pitcher had a bad disposition, The misplays peeved him, and instead of pitching and letting the rest of the players do their work he began to rave at his inficld, This stirred up considerable ill-feeling and didn't tend to help the morale of the club that'happened to be fighting for a berth in the first di- vision, Briefly, the pitcher failed to win a single start during the last throe weeks, due in a measure to the strain he was working under, likew the strain the entire team was playing unde He didn't get the bonus, No doubt he was peeved all winter and probably reported in the spring with | o don't-care spirit .
