/ bringing hack a load of rice. She was
being loaded at the time, and some Of the
rice was damaged by water.

The knights seem to be in rather bad

from bhe WdSntn0tO1 HNtcHets
"Did you ever notice." said base ball
expert recently, ''the manner in which a
group Of base ball players arrange them.
selves when they indulge IN curbstone
conversational"
The Hatcbet never had.
WELL" continued the expert, "they
form circle, and are i'll at ease If there
are not enough present to make a well
defined One-that is, l should say, they
form a circle In the early part of curb
stone seance or when conversation flags.
This, however, is not so strange. But
when conversation Is heated or an anil
mated discussion on the game is under
way a close observer may note marked
diamOnd-like arrangement of the athletic
conversatiOnalists."
"FOrce of habit, probably" remarked
the Ratchet.
at may be partly that, but I think
there must be some deeper psychological
clause at the bottom Of it. first observed
this popularity of base ballists several
years ago, and have studied it on and of
ever since. Why, | have seen five or six
players on the same nine who--started a
conversation with a most irregular ar
rangement so TAR as their respective DO
sitions were concerbed-at last, in the
heat Of base ballistIc discussion, assume
the prescribed arrangement. But that's a
rather clumsy statement Of what
want to get at. / guess I'd
better illustrate. Suppose now
and don't you laugh until I'm
through-that the catcher is leaning
against the tree box. with the basemen,
the pitcher and the left and centre fielders
facing him, and each one in a position
which does not belong to him relatively to
that of the catcher. AS their converse
ton progresses, provided it becomes any
way warm, you will see the different
members of the group shifting their posi-
tons by. degrees. And at last, if they
finger a sufficient time and become anil
mated enough, the pitcher will stand d.
reetly in front Of the catcher, the first base
man will stand to the left of the pitcher,
the third baseman will stand to the right
Of the pitcher on a line with the first, and
second baseman will stand in the rear OF
the pitcher, while in the background the
left fielder will cover his appropriate po-
sition and the centre fielder Will be seen
Deering over the shoulder of the second
bsseman. Sounds like the story OF Little
Dame Crump's pig, doesn't 1t? Butts a
fact nevertheless
The Hatcbet shortly wandered off in a
brown study as to how psychology could
possibly have any connection with base
ball.
