Baseball is the game above all others
i'll which perfect harmony of muscular
and mental activity is required and pro-
duced. 1t demands the utmost alertness
i'll the player to play, and in the specta-
tor to observe. 1t involves no physical
struggle exhausting to the player and
horrifying to the spectator.
The qualities that make first rate
player make tirst-rate man. 1t is the
best of discipline to take part in and the
best of games to observe. There is no
scene of sport where good temper and
good manners have more conspicuous
and agreeable setting than on the base-
ball field.
For all these reasons, and for MANY
more the American people ought to be
proud of their national sport, which in
wolves no necessary infiiction of pain or
