SUNDAY SCHOOL LEAGUE


In Its third season. now nearing the finish,
the record of the Sunday School League is
a gem of consistency. In keeping with the
interesting, cleany fought for su-
premacy In both sections IS the record of
the league officials and directors.
Beneiting by the experience gained the
first year. when the organizac ion was known
as the Church League and when younger
heads made mistakes owing to overzealous
ness for the teams they represented, the
league last year was put frmer foot
ing by the officials who were reelected for
the present season. with the result that this
year the season has been not only success
full in its smooth operation. but in the ac-
complishment of its purposes. due to the
strict enforcement of the rules regarding
attendance and the wisdom and impartiality
of the officials Messrs. Provost, Fowler,
Dietrich and West, who, with the board of
directors, have set aside personal and team
interests and worked for the furtherance of
the success of the league a whole.
1t was necessary that there should be this
harmonious and concerted action. Rendered
ambitious, and justly so, by its unprece
dented success as an amateur base bail or
ganfzation, and TO accommodate its rapidly
increasing army of patrons in manner be-
fitting their generous and cordial support,
the league at great expense made extensive
improvements to its grand stand and acceS-
sories in Mount Pleasant this season. AL
though the expense attending this and other
improvements has not been entirely met Il
large portion of it has been wiped out.
While all connected with the league have
cheerfully and earnestly contributed their
share of work and effort, the greatest credit
Is due to President Provost and Treasurer
West, who have worked untfringly for the
leagues upbuilding. not only in their official
capacity, but in attention to details con-
nected with grounds and the comfort of the
patrons. Resourcefu. tactful and cour-
teous. they not only conduct the leagues af-
fairs with executive ability, but add to It's
dignity and prestige.
While the management has done its part
II would have awaited little without the CO.
operation of the captains and their players,
who have all fallen into line for clean base
ball
No little share of praise and credit is
due the indicator handlers for the success
and growth of the league. During the first
year considera BILE difficulty was experienced

BY James A. Cruikshank.
The west has furnished the sportsmen OF
America with not a few good pastimes'
Her latest gift, that of casting the lure for
black bass, with original and unheard or
tackle and a method as daring and novel
as the very spirit of the occident, has al
ready captured the fancy of every man
who knowns the charm of angling and the
bulldog tenacity of the leading game fish
of America.
II ever there was a sport exactly suited
to the spirit OF the restless and nervous
Yankee always In motion and seeking
change and variety even in his pastimes. II
is this new sport OF bait casting. There
never was anything in the old Izaak wal
ton style OF angling to suit our modern
methods anyway The man of today, who
can sit on a bank for hours waiting for
bite which is so faint that neither his bob
b!ng cork nor himself recognizes II when
II does come. belongs to some back country
Rip Van Wimbledon where men can sleep
at their pleasures.
This modern method of angling exactly
meets the Americans idea of a good holt
day 1t is lively, full of motion and action.
requires trained eye, finger and muscle and
employs light and beautiful tackle, en-
bodying the very latest and most ingenious
devices for angling. Instead of putting the
angler in some one spot and insisting tnat
the game fish come TO him, this new meth
cd sends him rowing up, down and around
casting his attractive lure in every direc-
ton and drawing the wake of curious bats
TO his boat, which gradually becomes a
very center of piscine interest.
There IS, moreover. the added interest of
target shooting which may be said to be
characteristic Of bait casting. and this
same target shooting Is a sixth sense with
every normal American. He. more than
the man OF any other nation, is fond Of fir
ing at mark, and he more than the man
of any other nation has the knack of hit
ting the mark.
Again this new method of angling has the
added advantage of doing away with the
use of natural baits. There has long been
Il strong repugnance upon the part of many
anglers against the use of live bats and the
the recent remarkable growth In the manu-
facture and sale of artificial bats for
black bass angling Is ample demonstration
that only fairly satisfactory substitute
was required 10 prompt thousands of
thoughtful anglers to quit the use of live
bait Frogs which are the generally ac-
cepted live bait for black bass all over the
country, have a most wonderful way of
initiating their human fortunes, and 1t Is
not a pleasing sight to folks of tender or
even sympathetic sensibilities.
Where or who originated this unique and
different method OF angling is a matter for
historians 10 dispute. Sufficient for our
purposes to credit II to the west In one
story now current the claim is made that
an angler forgot his rod day, used a
broom handle. to which he had wrapped
diately improyised short. stir rod, fitted

But Chairman Burrows was anxious
to close the hearing particularly as
Judge Tayler had to get away, and
the time for closing arguments was at
hand. Postmaster Thomas stated his
belief that Senator Smoot would retain
his seat, though Just when the report
