Kelly the Favorite.
Kelly Is the favorite over the rugged mitt

to the mule kick that to all appearaaccs
the westerner carries in his right paw Part
performances are substantial evidence that
wh l. tie right punching appitlag of the
San Franciscan connects, it usually means

The new player Is supposed to learn
by observation The game as played
in the major leagues is a high class
profession. He must edcuate himself
to using his head as well as his hands.
Quick thin :-in is just as essential as
I fast playing, and one without the
t other is fatal to the aspirations oi
any ball plaer for honors as a fast
company star.
The new p'ayer must learn how his
team mates plav and must teach him
self to work with them every minute.
Team work is a prime requisite of a
successful baseball machine, and the
individual, grandstand variety of play
ing isn't tolerated in the majors. The
managers do not want any "one man"
terms when they rre paing salaries

one of these 25 men to earn his pay.

The major league players have It on
the minors chiefly in base running
and pitching. Otherwise the minor
leagues are not greatlv outclassed
that Is the A V organisations.
Base running has been reduced to a
fine art. The batter must get away
quickly, and whether he hits th. ball
to the infield or to the outfield, he
must "run It out" as If his life de
pended on it. He .nust never take It
for granted he is out. He must also
be awake to take advantage of any
misplay bv the opposing team, when
on the bases and must be fast enough
and sure enouh of himself to pilfer
bases or advance, reducing the chances
of being caught to the minimum.
As for the pitchers in the American

far outshine the minor league stars
