IN THE PRESS BOX.
Where Professional Scorers and Re.
porters Keep Track Of Our
National Game.

At the grounds where the profes.
sional clubs play baseball. you may
have noticed a small boxlke struc.
ture perched on the roof of the grand
stand. It's position directly back OF
home plate and on a line with the
pitcher is the best possible for view
of the game, and If you are lucky
enough to be invited up by some of
those who have a right there, you
will be surprised to find how much
better you can watch what is going
on than from a seat nearer the
ground.
This little house with the wire net
ting over the front to guard against
foul flies Is called the press or scor-
ers' box. The young men who sit
there have need of every facility for
observing the game, because after
ward they must present an absolutely
accurate record of 1t. If the contesting
mines belong to an important league
and play in large city there will be
an official scorer for eac club, besides
reporters from each of ne daily news
papers. The scorers Lave to record
every move of the game and, when 1t
is over, present to the managers OF
their clubs a complete set of figures.
from which everybody who under
stands the sport can tell exactly what
each player has done-how well or
how poorly he has Played.
Watch scorer at work. Before
him is an open book with the names
of one club written down the left-hand
side of one page and those of the OPP
posing team inscribed on the page OPP
posite. After each name is a line of
checker board squares, curiously
marked off, and at the end of these on
the right of each page are several
perpendicular columns headed A b,
r, b, S b, S II, P o, A and f for
the summary. These stand for, re-
spectively times at bat, runs, the times
a player has reached first base, stolen
bases, sacrifice hits, put-out, assists
and errors The symbols used by pro-
fessonal scorers are comparatively
few and easy to remember, and any
one familiar with the game ought to
be able TO use them after half an
hours study followed by little prac-
tice.-From Allan p. Ames's How to

In Exchanae for One Apple Tree.

What a gift it was to this country
when Old England gave us the apple
tree, brought over as 1t was by the
governor of the Massachusetts, Bay
colony In 1929. From that one tree we
have become the greatest apple grow
ing nation in the world. Our yearly

A fancied land, forsooth;

Your skies were azure seas
Where ships went sailing overhead,
A land OF laughter and of song.
Where bees contented croons

A white Russian priest must be mar

lips, eyes of velvet brown and hair
like yellow spun silk. She had beau

were a thousand fold more beautiful,

futtering of these wings that had
awakened Elsa. She was very glad

John Monroe of Rock Point, Vt, shot

Hundreds of pounds of honey have
been discovered in the great equestrian
statute of Gen. Robert f. Lee, at Rich
mond, Va. Both the horse and rider
are hollow, and 1t appears that ever
since last summer bees have been GO
ing in and out at the parted lips and
nostrils of General Lee and his steed.
The bees are almost numberless, and
they have been making honey con-
stantly. There is no way of getting
inside the statue without damaging
It, and the bees will be left alone In
their iron home.
A species of acacia which grows
very abundantly in Nubia and the Sou
dan is called the "whistling tree by
the natives. Its shoots are frequently
distorted in shape by the agency of
larvae of insects and swollen into a
globular bladder from one to two in
ches in diameter. After the insect has
emerged from a circular hole in the
side of tho swelling, the opening,
played upon by the wind, becomes a
musical instrument suggestive of a
sweet.toned flute. The whistlng tree
is also found in the West Indies.

though when the number of facets is
considerable twelve thousand to
seventeen thousand). The definition Is
good. It Is his conclusion that insects
have more than instinct-they have a
soul, so to say; and at any rate, a
mind capable of forming judgments,
of choosing. Bees have, for example,
an astonishing memory for localities.
Instinct and automatism are far from
constituting all their mental life.
