A trying time ig ahead for baseball fans.
The team is home for a stay of two weeks. It is in last
place. The. efficient efforts of Manager* Jordan and the base
ball association to strengthen have been temporarily nullified
hy injuries'. It will be a week at least before the full strength
is in the field. It may be nearly two weeks, even if there are
no more accidents, before the team can hope to get in its
stride.
Our advice is:
Be patient and give the club another chance.
The club opened the season with a pretty fair team. It
seemed to.have a chance of winning a. pennant. Twice since
then it has been strengthened to a point where apparently it
MOST begin winning.
Vet every time injuries to players 6r the laying down of
scute star performer have spoiled the chances.
Some day, maybe when the season ends, it may be worth
while reviewing the whole thing and trying to fix the blame for
an unsuccessful season. If the team finishes last or next to
last, there will be some justice in this sort of an act. In fact,
with the money that has been spent the club ought to finish in
the first division, and if it doesn't, somebody is to blame—even
if it is nobody but Old Man Luck.
Now is no time for fixing the blame or holding any post
mortems. It is a time when the fans should get-together and
make it as easy for the players as possible during the trying
trames that are to come before the injured men get back in
the running. .
When the team at last gets its full strength in the- field,
give it a little while to get into real playing slyape. Then if
it continues to hover around last place, it- will be time to—oh,
well, it's never time to knock (tho we'U freely confess it’s
as hard for-us to live up to our theories about this aa it ia for a
lot of other people).
Don’t jump on a team that’s down. And especially don't
when it is down in a considerable measure because of herd
luck. If the Cracker team gets all its players back in the
game and then continues to lose, the thing will be i'nfJCplicable.
But it is pretty easy to see why a club is. dropping everything
in sight when 'many of its star players are out of the game.
Let’s nil'join in giving the club another Chance. Root
when there is even a half-way decent opportunity. And, any
how, don't knock. With the invalids back in the game, you
are likely to have something worth rooting for.
GREAT IS BRESNAHANl HE TOOK ORDINARY TEAM
AND HAS MADE IT PLAY MARVELOUS BASEBALL
With an organization built around a wabbly and wretched nucleus and patched out with
a heterogeneous miseellsny of erratic and mediocre ball players, he has made the usually lowly
Cardinals a real factor in the National league race. <

taken the role of chief demonstrator.
Since the flrst week In May. the Car
