He did not feol a bit chagrined over his team's miserable showing, but smiled in a kindly way as though to say “Wait a while, sonny, until] our crusade sinks its cleats in the public.” He did say that he, Medicus and Ebbets all have perfect confidence in their preceptor's scheme, which is noth- ing more or Jess than to make every ball player support himself on the out- side, entertaining the public merely for love of the game. The spirit of pro- feaslonalism, he quotes, is a canker |, worm chewing up all that 4s good, wholesome and honest in sport.
