When a business man has no time
10 attend a stockholders meeting he
g., sends proxy.
Some one attends
'"e "'e"' the meeting in his
place and votes for him. The New
York World believes that the proxy
dea might well be applied TO vaca-
tons. There are men with plenty
of money who have no time 10 take
a vacation. There are women of
means who by illness or other things
have been prevented from carrying
out plans made fov the summer.
On the other hand there are thou
sands of persons who are unable to
take vacations because they have not
the money. There are weary girls
working in shops who must use their
wages to support sick parents.
There are children in tenements
whose parents have all they can do
to feed and clothe the little ones
without giving them vacations.
There are poor, consumptive fathers
sticking TO bookkeepers' stools or
workshops to whom a two weeks
rest would mean a new lease OF life.
To people OF means who cannot for
any reason take a vacation this year
the World makes this suggestion:
Take a vacation by proxy. Use the /
money you would have spent on
your own vacation in giving some
one else that really needs a vacation
and cannot afford it a pleasant two
weeks trip to the mountains or
lakes or seashore. There need be no
publicity about IL. To find persons
who need a vacation and cannot af-
ford it will be an easy matter. The
self-beneft in giving pleasure to 9th
ers will be as beneficial as n vaca-
ton to all those who arrange wa
cations by proxy"

The health department that does
not admonish the people TO keep
~ cool" in the sum
mer solstice, de-
curry !" "'s"' clares the Chicago
Record-Herald, does not know its bust
ness. All other precautions are Of
minor consequence compared to this.
The directions pertaining to diet, drink
and clothing are useful and of hygienic
value, but little comfort is to be de-
rived from them unless the advice TO
keep cool" is carefully and religious
ly followed Unless those who sweat
and swelter are willing to heed this
advice they cannot hold the health
department responsible for heat pros
trations and other distressing conse-
quences Of July weather. Next in i'm
portance comes the advice to keep
on the shady side Of the street" If
there is no SHADY side" to the street
you should move off the street. II
your grocer and butcher and baker
live on the sunny side Of the street
have them move to the other side OF
else trade somewhere else. The health
officer will also caution you "to avoid
exertion," which is good advice to fol
low any time of the year. In case Of
sunstroke it is best to knock off work
of any kind and go home or seek some
cool, quiet spot In any event it is
best TO get out Of the sun. You will
also be told that it is best to drink
hot drinks and take hot baths, for the
reason that the warmer the body the
cooler will seem the atmosphere. Any |
one who will take the trouble to fol-
low these simple. hygienic sugges-
tions can hardly fail to spend a COM
Portable summer.

Players on the Pennsylvania Team
Seemed to Be in a Trance.

Several hundred base ball enthusiasts sat
in the grand stand and bleachers of George
town field yesterday afternoon and won
dered at the exhibition of amateur base
ball offered by the team from the Univer-
lowed its record knew the nine had beaten
strong teams in the east, and many of the
spectators knew that various members
of the team were notably good ball players
But for four innings the team played like
men in trance, while Georgetown sent
eleven men across the home plate
The explanation was sought for and
found. Manager Arthur Irwin had brought
MS team from Norfolk on a steamer when
the water was SO rough that all the party
were made seasck. They walked out on
the diamond sleepy and dazed. Their play
reflected their condition. After the fourth
Reynolds was relieved from the pitching
slab and was succeeded by Groves, who
pitched very good ball. holding the locals
down to three scattered hits, and with the
aid or improved work In the Penn. field,
preventing any further scoring.
1t Is useless to indicate when errors were
made. The visitors did not seem to know
what to do with the ball. In throwing to
bases, half dozen times the team hit the
base runners. The first baseman once field

feet of his bag while the runner calmly ran
down the line and took his position on first
Instances of this kind Of play were numer-
Gus. The visiting team. to quote the term
heard all over the bleachers, was "doped"
Georgetown took advantage of the oppor-
tunity to try two pitchers-Mackay and
Fay. The former was hit safely only three
times I'm five innings, struck out six men
ana gave no bases on balls Fay gave no
bases on balls and struck out three men,
but was located for eight hits. The local

League and Association of Professional
Base Ball Clubs and read:

League and Association Of Professional
Base Ball Clubs and read:
Gentlemen: In accepting the presidency
Of the National League. to which office 1
was informed last December 1 had been
duly elected. promulgated certain plat
form as the policy of my administration.
Conditions have arisen which In my
opinion make 1t impossible at this time to
carry out all the principles embodied in this
platform, and no compromise or modifi-
cation OF these principles will be satisfac-
tory to me I have decided to discontinue
further efforts in this direction and hereby
tender my resignation as president of the
National League and respectfully insist
that 1t be accepted without delay.
Il wish to emphatically declare that 1
am prompted in this action solely by the
belief that prolonging fractional political
warfare into the playing season would be
distasteful to the public, injurious to the
National League in particular. and to pro-
fessional base ball in general.
"a G. sPALDING."
Thus ends one Of the bitterest internal
struggles that has ever shaken the National
League. and which threatened to wreck the
organization.
While Mr. Temple has not been formally
elected to the chief executive Office of the
league 1t was decided unanimously to offer
him the place.
At yesterdays session all were present
except Abel Of Brooklyn. The magnates
discussed the matter OF constitutional
amendments with view of establishing
some kind of executive head for the league.
Mr.. Hart told of going to California, when
he talked league matters over with Spald-
ing. The latter said he saw he could not
accomplish some things he proposed doing,
and said he thought he ought to resign. He
then wrote the letter and gave it to Hart.
Here Hart presented the letter to the meet
ing. 1t is dated March 8. There was some
discussion as to what should be done with
it. Freedman and his followers commended
that Spalding had never been elected pres
ident of the league, and therefore could not
resign the office. The matter was solved by
a motion to simply declare the entire Incl
dent closed"
Next came the work Of selecting a presi-
dent for the league. The name of Edward
B. Talcott, formerly owner of the New
York team, was first proposed, but 1t was
found he could not accept the office, as he
would not be able to go to New York to
live.
Freedman and Brush then made a propo-
stion to do away with the office of presi-
dent and for the appointment of a COM
mittee Of three members in whose hands
the governing power of the league should
be placed There was instant opposition to
this and a long-drawn-out discussion.
Freedman and Brush finally gave way and
the matter Of the presidency was again
taken up.
