Text	There were cliques, rings and back-cappers in the New York club until Day called the players into the club room on one occasion and said: “We will get along better if we have open and mutual daily discussions. I want every one to speak out. I am Chairman. Let me hear from you on O'Rourke's play in the seventh inning yesterday.” This brought O'Rourke to his feet flushed in the face, and he said: “What was the matter with Ward's blunder in the fifth?” and so it went on, till every man had picked out flaws in some one else. Day listened quietly until all had finished, and when he said: “Here is the whole trou8ble. We see the bad plays of each other, but fail to see our own. This has been a good meeting. Come to-morrow at the same time.” The meetings were continued and there was less back-biting each day as they saw how childish their fault-finding was and it ceased altogether. Then they began the team work which gave the club the pennant.
