History doesn't say so. On the con-

recovered. Prices OF farm products
fell of one-half and commerce was cut
in two in the middle. Then for the
first time in the Nations history the
protected few began to get rich at the
expense of the overtaxed many, es-

ABUSE OF BASEBALL.
Why Professional Ball Playing Is Harmful

Why Professional Ball Playing Is Harmful
to the Cause of Physical Training.
Every true friend of athletics must
regret the use that is being made of
this game in the professional field. 1t
is, of course, a misnomer to apply the
term athletic exercise, in its ordinary
sense, to a professional baseball game.
The men who manage these games,
and those whS engage in them, do so
without any idea Of the physical
benefits that may be derived from
them. The benefits sought after are
financial and not physical; the develop
ment of the Pocket-book and not of the
muscle. The character and aims of
the professional ball clubs are very
much the same as that of the theatrical
troupes travelling around the country.
1t is the gate-money in the one case
and the box-office receipts in the other
that constitutes the chief end of ex-
istence in the view of the management.
Both ente rprises are conducted on
a purely meroenary basis. 1t is, there
fore, just as far short of the truth to
speak OF professional game of ball as
having any real connection with
physical training as it is to speak of
professional theatrical performance
having any connection with the train.

where physical strength and skill are

much whether any good of any kind
comes from it. The relation which
the professional game assumes to bear

further than the mere business feat

The year of 1879 was one OF uni
versal disaster. The country moved
slowly and laboriously. In 1924 more
tariff was put on. and there was no inn
provement. In 1928 still higher tariff
tax was put on, and times grew a
little harder. In 1882 the country
changed doctors. and a part of the
tariff tax was wiped out What fol.
lowed?
Go on and tell me.
Business Immediately revived. In
1888 the tax was lowered again, and
prosperity increased. BY the year
1887 the United States Treasury was
overlooking. and the surplus was di-
vided around among the States. An
era OF wild speculation followed the
distribution; the land bubble was
blown up so large that 1t burst, and
a panic ensued, the effects of which
