This is the way Comiskey sizes up a winning ball club: “There is little difference in the actual playing strength of teams nowadays. Nearly all professional ball players can catch a ball when it is thrown to them, and he is a poor one, incd3eed, who cannot make a safe hit once in a while. When I size up a team I do not look at the players' batting or fielding records. A winning team is made up of men who will 'turn tricks' when they see a chance—men who study points, and work every advantage to win. All is fair in love and war, and the same may be said of baseball.
