4 CLUB cur.

The champion base-ballers Of the two
clubs. Westmoreland and Richmond, are
having costumes made for the next
match.
The TINES will offer prize cup that
the winner can take, provided the other
club can challenge the victor at any time
when there is not frost on the ground.
We recognize the fact that baseball is
a noble sport, and when one beholds such
distinguished athletes as figured in the
last game arlislically prancing along a
lef, field or first stop, il is sight for men
and gods. The entrance fec ought to lie
doubled.
We suggest for the Weslmoreland nine
pure white duck suit with a diamond
star on the left breast, so that the ball can
see where to bit and for the Richmonds
a mousc.colored, aristocaatic suit, with a
red shield on the left breast so that if the
ball hits 1t the artist may have lively
color TO paint picture on.
The most important point in base ball,
next to getting knocked down, is to have
the right sort of stockings. No great
match game has been won without the
proper color on the foot. Some like red
and others blue, while many able umpirCS
attribute great success To the butter nut
brown, which in great match resulted
in the triumph of the Tar Heel nine over
the Plymouth Rock nine, the latter wear
ing pure Puritan hose Of the virtuOus
Miles Siandish color.

\ universal law of social progress, with
which we are all familiar, is that estab-
ished systems in thought, morals. man
ners. government, or any department Of
human activity, struggle to perpetuate
themselves by a fight against All innova-
tions. Whatever Is new and progressive,
or represents the requirements OF an en-
larging field of life, has got to gain Is
foothold in the face of the powerful OPP
position Of the old and pre-estaDlished.
Those more perfected and exact concep-
tons Of nature, which We call scientific
ideas, have prevailed only after centuries
of moral strife with the inherited super
stitions and imperfect concentrations of
our semi-ciyiized foreiathlrs.
The progressive and liberal govern
ments Of our most advanced nations To-
day have been established in spite Of the
bitter opposition Of their predecessors,
and are themselves fighting tooth and
nail the higher forms that will succeed
them. In literature and art old schools
try to deny existence to the new and,
even in the little affairs of our daily lives,
we are all permitting the things that are
and have sufiiced to our fathers before

might be. II. G.. S. Noble in Popular
