rnie ~ and rule IL. Observe slss
that "bunt hit" which sends the
ball TO foul ground is a strike erea
though Il be the Third strike. See
Section 4 rule A. AT least such

such construction woa.d give .

tened that this section should De con

Of the same rule which provides that
fonl lit BAH shall not be strike If
two strikes have already been CALI
ed. but the section docs not say so;
and. therefore. il presents another
question Tor the authorities TO pass

RECENT LITERATURE.
Magazines and Notes.

The American Illustrated Methodist
Magazine, for July, begins with an article,
by James Main Dixon, descriptive of the
Reform School, at Boonville, Mo-, which
the Superintendent, Col. Drake, formerly
of Indiana, has established on an excel
lent basis, making it in very truth q
Model Reform School" -.-.
The recently opened Boston Elevated
Railway, a subject of vital interest to the
people of that city and its far-reaching
suburbs, is fully described by its chief
engineer, Mr. George A. Kimball, in the
July number of the New England Maya
zine. He gives a history of the changes
in public street transportation since the
days of the early omnibus lines, and
shews by specially-taken photographs,
superbly reproduced, this latest effort In
the solution of the problem of urban and
suburban communication for one low fare
in safety.
The Ledger Monthly for July has ON its
cover a patriotic design emblematic Of the
Fourth of July celebration. In front Of
an old colonial mansion is sweet young
mother holding by the hand little daugh-
ter who is touching off a frecracker. The
picture, entitled ''1T16-1901, BoomE' In
from a painting by Warren B. Davis.
1t is probably true that almost every
man has in him certain qualities which
would draw some woman to him, but Ii
is difficult to frame a statement in gen.
eral terms of What Women Like in
Men" This is the task which a very
well-known author, under the nom-de-
plume of Rafford Pyke, has undertaken
in The Cosmop~ -itan for July in clever
essay.
Stories, long and short, will abound b
the July Century, justifying its charao
teriZation as Summer fiction number
Miss Mary e. Wilkins will tell charac-
teristic New England tale, and Seumas
MacManus a typical Irish one; the
heroine of "A Hope Deferred" by Jo-
sephine Daskam, is New England
spinster, and the hero of Miss Sedgwick's
"A Lion Among Ladies'" popular nov
elist in London.
Among the leading articles of the
Worlds Work for July are, "A. j. Cas-
satt," Making Good Roads," wall
Street and a Brokers Day." THE Mean
ing of the Supreme Courts Island De-
cisiOns."
There is symposium of "Foreign
Trade and National Prosperity" in the
North American Review for July, with
Harold Cox, Joseph French Johnson and
G. ]. Bullock as contributors. There is
