II was diamond cut diamond for four
innings at National Park yesterday after
noon between the Bureaus and the Districts.
There had not been the semblance OF an
error nor a productive hit and the large
crowd settled down to the enjoyment OF
a game that up 10 that time had never been
surpass ed by the trained veterans OF the
big league.
1t looked to many as IL one run would
decide the contest, SO even and snappy
was the play. The work of the pitchers
and the perfect fielding Of the teams behind
them gave no promise OF pIethoric scC-ing.
With the in and outfields of both Clubs
standing like stone walls against the efforts
OF the batsmen TO land safely and Winkleman
and Fitzgerald pitching mysteries that
laughed at solution, it was anybodys
game until the last half of the fourth inning
when the money-makers broke. the speu
and laid a foundation for the big total
that was to be theirs.
The largest crowd of the Departmental
League season gathered TO witness the
battle of the champions. They We're recon-
pensed with a good game, despite the one
sided score. A number OF plays approached
the highly sensational and marked the
participants as worthy OF the highest rank
In amateur baseball.
Many ladies were present and between
shem and their escorts, parts anship was
about evenly divided. The boy with the
fog horn was Omnipresent and some OF the
older ones had bugles which they would
blast ever and anon as some fayOriJe did
something above the ordinary.
WINKLEMAN'S SUBTLE SOUTHPAW.
winkleman was in his old league form nd
mixed up his delivery like Mercer.
He depended but little on speed but used a
slow ball and change OF pace The score
shows that he was master OF the situation
throughout. To him properly belongs the
greater part OF the credit for the game,
though his support was gilt-edged and OF
the kind TO make any pitcher steady and
confident.
Fitzgerald depended on speed and the
strain told on him in the eighth inning when
ne was not able to keep the gait and was
hit at Will by the Bureaus. Fitz was strong
armed, and up TO the turn of the game was
very effective, but he made the error so
common to many pitchers OF attempting
to make muscle win instead of noodle,
as did his southpaw opponent.
The Districts evidenced lack of team
work, but that is accounted for from the
fact that the club has not had the advantage
OF play together as have tie Bureaus this
season. When they once get together the
Districts will take nobody's dust.
The Districts presented number ofpopu-
lar players OH their batting list. ''Old Re

eternal life. Considered in its relation to
character or soul development this can
only mean that the soul enlarges by going
outward from its selfish center.
In every hum an soul there is germ of
nobility. It may be altogether hidden
under selfishness, like germ in the seed,
waiting for the impulse to break it's she'll
and enter upon conditions OF growth.
This impulse will not come so long as self
ish pleasures satisfy us. but Only when we
begin to share the joys ana sorrows of
Others. Then comes the first taste of that
wider life in which the soul expands its
native power. growing in greatness by de-
grees as marked as are the stages OF plant
development. There can be neither break
nor omission in the process. From the
point OF selfhood to infinity the law of
expansion controls its evolving powers.
Therefore we may all become great when
we cease 10 be selfish. When life means
to us something more than the pursuit OF
pleasure or the round of daily tasks the
pettlness OF personal experience will be-
come apparent. The larger life that
awaits US will seem more desirable.
Then we shall probably forsake the frip-
peries now mistaken for grandeur, glad to
leave them as growing boy who proudly
lays away his toys to enter upon greater
dignity, MERcIE NJ. THIRDS.
The San Francisco call., 1896-10-04

everything is what it is because of pro-
cesses of growth. From the bursting
acorn shoot emerges. At first it is hid
den under ground. Gradually as it pushes
outward, it comes into the fostering light.
Then the sun gives it vigor, while the rain
continues to feed its enlarging roots. Pro-
pelled by natures law of growth it tow
ers at last into a mighty tree, strong in
itself, giver of joy and comfort. Every
where is this familiar process repeated,
though by different means, in the varied
kingdoms about US. Mind grows by feed
ing, too, when led outward from its she'll
according to the laws of mental unfold
ment. Fixed to its own center it can only
decay like germ rotted in the seed, for
its law of life is to expand. Is it not also
so with character building?
The little soul is self-centered, the great
soul IS bestowing. In this fact we
find quite plainly indicated the method
pursued in its unfoldment. And though,
when stated as law, we are at first in
clined to rebel against it, as if it were a
sophistry designed to rob us of ourselves,
it accords perfectly with everyday expert
ence. When we live for others we enjoy a
wider life. When we forget ourselves We
belong to the greater world outside of self.
Religion expresses the same fact in bid
ding rs give up our lives if we would have

one ever becomes suddenly great.

No one ever becomes suddenly great.
The world may suddenly discover great
ness In one who has been obscure and
thrust upon him in a moment the insignia
OF rank among men. 1t has not made him
great, however, by this bestowal. 1t has
merely acknowledged the fact which ex-
listed already in his nature.
"Out of nothing, nothing comes" is just
as true in the moral as in the material
world. As well might we expect a dead
bush to burst into blossom as an arid char
acter to put forth deeds of tenderness and
of beauty. The one. quite as truly as the
other, is an effect of cause, and the Law
which produces a certain result, and no
other, from that cause, is as inviolable as
the relation. between seed and its fruit.
An act of yalor may be inspired by human
need, or qualities not before suspected
uiay swiftly unfold under the stimulus OF
some momentous event. We say the man
or woman has suddenly become great, yet
we know that the virtues which lifted
them above the commonplace were not
born of that moment They belonged to
the character which exhibited them, flash
ing them into view because encouraging
conditions had arisen.
do not refer here to that worldly
greatness which consists of renown or po-
sition. These are merely trappings OF a
The San Francisco call., 1896-10-04

life, often won and worn by veriest pre-
tenders. They care only to seem great,
and are content TO strut upon life's stage
in plumage not their own. Such persons
are usually saved the modification OF
realizing how apparent is their disguise
by the vanity which makes them seek it.
Dazzled by outward show they believe
that others, too, will never look behind
the mask Of things, or measure their
reality by any standard higher than their
own. The world is full OF these shams; so
full that shamming is trade more profit
able to the self-seeking than is real merit.
Though it may cost a struggle to wrest
the baubles from competitors, it is GER
tainly easier to fight on commonplace
levels than to reach untrodden heights
beyond the crowd. But when the victory
is won it is only cloak wherewith to
cover common things, not light which
can transfeure them.
The greatness refer to is of that true
kind which belongs to an individual by IN
heritance from nature. 1t is quality of
the soul. Position, or even recognition,
has nothing to do with it. As the sun
shines by its own Iieht, and not because of
its position in the sky, SO does the great
soul shed its power by reason of its own
nobility. 1t may have no rank among
men, yet it will outshine them ALL Its
The San Francisco call., 1896-10-04

glory may be obscured because OF the in
ability of others to perceive it, but its place
in nature is fixed by a law that is not con-
cerned about the appearances of things.
It is great because 1t gives out greatne IS.
It's rank in nature is determined by its
power to bestow.
And is not this the truest of tests? We
may receive from others what is wholly
foreign to ones own nature, but we can
only give what we possess. A selfish man
may profit by another's generosity, but he
is careful to preserve himself. A weak
man may lean upon the strong, but he will
not be found supporting others. A little
soul may grasp at greatness, but it cannot
give grand powers or an ennobling inspir-
alton. Truly we have only what we give,
paradoxical as the statement may seem.
To strive for self is therefore to prove the
poverty of our own souls. To give is the
birthright of the noble.
How, then, may true greatness be
achieved? If we are weary of shamming
If the cloak OF power covers only the
nakedness OF slave, and the place OF
honor rs Knocked by discovery of our own
littleness, how may we escape from our
petty selves and become noble? Or are
we fated to remain forever mere EN- pity
receivers of largess from greater natures?
1t seems to me incontrovertible that
