1 u various denrces of
sameness. Dut 1 will
declare that never has
there bieen a Ranter
team than the Phillies
of 1916.
It may not be the
right thing for me to
boost tho club of which
I am a member, but
I am boosting It as an
organization and not In
any way singling out
Individuals. The "old

Itffow that It Is past, I want to mention
fL illustration of the gamencss that Is a
Uaracterlatlc of our club.
gi fans undoubtedly remember that we
three straight games In Brooklyn on
"fcotember 6 and 7. Wo lost them trior
Whly. too. The Superbas outbatted and
'Studded us. They did not leave us a
'tarle alibi by which wo could excuse .the,
, rout In our own minds and figure that
'ire had been outlucked.
1 Tit bet 90 per cent, of the baseball fans
!tt the country said, "There go the Phil
lies!" after that disastrous visit to
Brooklyn. They figured we had started
a ilump and as our lead at tho time was
aiihty slender two more reverses might
(live shoved us Into second or even third
JwalUon. But we "camo back."
rThe boys came over to Philadelphia to
ijUy the Giants four games and they
litre thoroughly aroused. Wo didn't talk
"BCh about It, but when I went on the
'tench the day of tho first game with
Ikw Tork I felt that "fight" was in the
lr Welt, we waded tnto McQraw's club
tini won four straight games. Boston
(was playing !n Brooklyn and tho Braves
took two of tho three battles waged. So
jthat Instead of continuing the slump and
.'cropping out of first place, we strength
lined our lead by our "come-back."
Jt has been pretty much.that way with
feurclub all season. Time' after time, we
I have skated along on thin Ice. Even our
BOJt loyal supporters have been ready
"to admit that wo were slipping fast.
, Then, suddenly, wo came to life and
' showed them that wo had the punch.
t After we lost the three games In Brook-
ilm a friend of mine met mo at the
North Philadelphia Station, when wo re
turned to our homo city.
4 "Gosh, Alex," he said, "what's the-mat-;
ter with the boys? Have they lost their
nerve completely? Why, they played like
'a bunch of schoolboya against the Su-
j perbas."
, I told my friend that he need not worry
about losing the three games at Brook-'Irn-
I pointed out that It was not the
'.first time we had stood on the precipice
!end had pulled ourselves away Just when
.our friends were shutting their eyes so
f'they would not see us take tho plunge.
And, for some unexplalnablo reason, 1
'believed what I was saying. I knew my
jpals were made of the proper stuff.
'x It takes the extreme In fight and cour
i ate for a ball club to get out of a slump.
LAny man who has played any sort of
fa game will know how hard It Is. It's
or of a mental fight than & physical
jjooe.
S I do not Imagine there Is a person llv
' lor In tha whole world -who has not ex-
t.ptrienced a day, or a week, or a month
wnen everyining seemea to ,go wrong.

usual, but something they Just could not
fathom seemed to bo Interfering with
tnem and getting them Into "hot water"
constantly. That's Just tho way a ball
club feels when the slump comes. The
Phillies played hard against Brooklyn,
but they couldn't win.
Tho thing that has saved our club, I
am sure. Is that when we do "hit the
rough going," we don't seek alibis or
try to excuse our defeats by blaming
them on the "breaks." At our morning
sessions we hunt for our mistakes and
discuss them. We find a good, plausible
baseball reason for tho defeat, if we lost
the game the previous afternoon. It al
ways can be found, too.
Manager Moran's system has been U)e
very thing to prevent protracted slumps.
It will not permit of that mental condi
tion which helps to cause a long losing
streak. He doesn't believe In alibis, and
I seldom have heard him admit that
thero was such a thing as a bad turn
of tho luck. Nine times out of 10, when
our olub loses a close game by some
"break," Pat will point out a mistake
or two wo made which, he insists, was
the real reason for our reverse.
Of course, I know there are such things
as "breaks" in base ball, and I have?
told how they might play a part In the
winning of the National League pen
nant. Why, such a thing as rain might
win or lose the flag for a certain club.
If It came down to n. nln-nnri-tuolc bat
tle at the finish. And tho best playing
in tne worm could not prevent rain.
However, whllo admitting that luck Is
a factor, I nm equally as confident that
It can be overplayed. A team which gets
the notion that "the whole world Is going
wrong" cannot possibly play winning
baseball. And If a team thinks only of
the "breaks," and forgets to study the
good and bad plays which had a lot to do
with the result, they will soon be In a
mental condition which will plunge them
Into a slump.
I have read stories about. George Stall
Ings' superstitions. Some of them prob
ably are true: all of them are overdrawn.
You bet your year's Income that when
the Braves hold their "skull practice."
as Stalllnga calls his morning conference,
the boBs doesn't tell them that they lost
the game the previous day because the
bats were not pointed In the right direc
tion or sparrows perched on the dugout.
No, I'll gamble that Stalllnga tells the
players about a play or two that they
pulled which cost them tho game. Super
stition may be all right In Its place, but
It doesn't win ball games, unless the
players do their part.
If I pitched Vic Saler a ball that he
could murder, and ho hit It over tho wall
for a home run, wouldn't I be a fool It
I blamed II on the fact that I wore a
blue bow tie to the clubhouse Instead of
the purple four-ln-hand? Wouldn't It be
much saner and produce better results
In the future, If I told myself that I had
slipped Saler a ball that he could wallop?
That Is Just the way with slumping ball
clubs. If they will erase superstition and
luck from their minds, they will have a
much better chance to get back In their
stride.
I do not care where we finish, I will
always Insist that tho Phillies of 1915
were the peers of any baseball players In
the land so far as sameness went. We
have fought hard for every game, and
when wo have been licked we did not call
"Old Man Alibi" to apply Balve, but con
vinced ourselves that we needed to Im
prove our batting, pitching and fielding.
And we still have the "pepper."
