litigating lis background of green
and - rolling bills with a glaring!
yellow pint1 wroHU tbnl turned two |
or baggers into trick home
runs and came witbin uii are of
wrecking riltslmrgh series hopes, j
A lot of spectators thought Haruey j
Prayfuss was to blame for this;
thai ,1k* bad built the seats and |
/ Hpoiled the game t?? till bis own J
pockets. Hui Hartley was not
gul)(y. Judge Latidi.". the czar of J
baseball. ordered him to build
\ th^ni and lit* had to do it. Ihous'.h !
It ?*>*! him $15,000. The judge*
said <0111 dollar seats bad to be pro- I
vided. It was said (5,000 sp?cta- 1
tors could be seated in those
bleachers. If they were, they wen- J
packed closer than wheat keriH'ls [
in ail elevator bin.
It Ik regrettable that these seatsj
ever were built on a uround bet- 1
ter '.adapted to hl;.h class bast-ball |
than the Washington h?t where :
the* dollar S'-at section was out of
harm's way.
I -'or everybody this world series
was the most expensive ever held.
Had the aeries ended in four
Kames both teams would have lost J
money. So far as the fan was con- j
cemed, the average spectator who j
had" to travel 100 miles to anil 1
from the kh lues paid trout III! I? '
$:io and more for his afternoon "a j
amusement. Despite this, the gros-t
receipts were greater than at any
World'H series, due entirely to the!
Interest taken by fans wlpi livi d in I
the vicinity of Pittsburgh, and i
bought tickets for their families, I
pa go one day. Uia the next and
i*lttle Itright 10 yes, the flapper
daughter, or the son and heir the 1
next.
The question has been raised 1
whether ii is right to take this j
huge sum of money out of the :
pockets of the fans, considering
that too many interests, besides '
the players, are sharing the pot,
and whether the prices of admis
wiou should not be reduecd so that I
th?* actual supporters of baseball
ma)r have half a chance.
Artistic followers of the game
believe that contests of impor
tance In the wot hi series should
be played in tb lds in good condi
tion and governed by the same
rules In regard to rain as ordinary
gai^es. If such rules bad been fol- J
lowed that last and deciding game
in ritlsburgh would never have j
bceli played.
?Speaking of post niorlems the
newspaper men at Pittsburgh have
a justifiable loud complaint. The
preps seats, below the surface of
the? earth, was a frog pond where
inet hud to sit with their f'-et in
puiMb s or water. They were the
wood, in any world series since
!!??/? ill the little stand at Phila
delphia.

IS PSYCHOLOGY
| BIGGEST FACTOR
Colorado ('.ouch Putt Self

7S Prr Ont of the Baltic
in Modern Foot hall
(Psychology I* about 75 per |
cent of the k<ii?o in football.
. That account* for unexpected I
. upsets and reverse* of form i
{ which make the gnat college
i game so uncertain and so inter*
esting In the belief of Myron E. i
Wltham. Colorado coach).
I?> MYRON K. WITIIAM
i tonmm ttts. *1 th. a?m*m)
I Moulder, Colo.. Oct. 19.? This
I season's football upset*, and the
showings of individual team*.
I demonstrate again that the proper
; mental attitude on the part of
? players la 75 per cent of the came.
Psychology in most important und
.self-consciousness is the main fac
Itor In the psychology of football.
Lack of experience appears at*
the common cause of the self
consciousness which has played a
part in affecting the showing of
teams in thin section this season.
The Importance of the game's out
come. the responsibility on the
player, the reputation of oppo
nents confuse and unsteady the
Inexperienced man.
Perhaps the most serious cause
! of self -consciousness Is the pre
. vailing tendency of the player to
regard the Instructions of the
I coaches as Iron-clad and mechanl
jcal in contrast with the true pur
pose of instruction; namely, to
I guide and aid the player to a com
i plete mastery of the science of
< football. As a result the player
should react naturally and will use
| his resourcefulness to apply the
I science to the hundred and one
unforeseen and unforeseeable slt
: nations with which he is confront
I ed.
Lack of mutual confleuce and
good will among the men of the
team Is another fruitful cause of
self consciousness. Mental and
| fraternal team work is as essen
tial as physical and mechanical
team work.
The very common attitude that
one position ia more important
than another, accentuated by larg
er space given by newspapers to
backfleld players, tends to make
the men In those positions more
self conscious. Player* need to
realise that every play is a play of
the whole team and that the man
carrying the ball is no more of a
star or hero than the innn open
ing the hole or running effective
interference.
Confidence and mastery grow
with success. The result of the
first play In a game Is of I lie great
est importance. If I lie team on
Its first play makes a good start,
the confidence of the team is In
creased manifoldly. All of these
things cause the successful conch
to realise that psychology makes
up three quarters of the game.
