A young woman of New York was struck on the nose by foul bali while attending a session of the na- tional game. She sued the owners of the club for $500. Justice McLaugh- lin of New York, in trying the case, rendered decision unfavorable to the young woman. He decided that any one who watches ball game does so at his or her own risk. If they are injured the law gives them no oppor- tunity to sue for damages. They must take their chances" Of course. The finding is in accordance with the true spirit of the national game. Born on the corner prairie" or on the town lot, or the school playground, baseball was never sport for spectators to loll back in easy seats and watch un- der the protection of the law. Base ball is baseball. The man who at tends a game, If he go in the proper spirit of the true American, takes nearly IS active part in the game as does a player. The spectator and his activities are part of the game. His gentle roofing" his mild desire for the blood of the unfavorable umpire are hand in hand with the ringing three-base hit and the daring slide for the home plate. They all have one aim-to win for the home team. In novations and refining influences have made the game more satisfactory. Better grounds, ornate grand stands with wire screen and comforta ble seats have helped to make the viewing of game more pleasurable. The re- 6ning influences have reached even to the men on the diamond. The umpire now politely removes his cap when he announces the batteries for the day; the players refrain from permitting their opinions of the umpire's deci- sions to reach the audience. But this is enough along these lines. For the refined game as 1t is now we are thankful. But who would have the game barbered, and manicured, and rendered inocuous In a manner to fit 1t for the drawing room or the stage? No. Justice Mclaughlin finds wisely and well. The baseball enthusiast must take care of himself while watching his favorite game. That he is quite able to do this Justice Me Laughlin is probably well aware, for his decision suggests the possibility that the justice Is himself one of the rank and file of the grand army of fans"

 no doubt much trash is read. But in
 matters of taste excellence is rela-
 tive, and we can determine whether
 to be optimistic or pessimistic about
 the quality of popular reading only
 by comparing our age with the rest.
 Most of the people who read only bad
 or not thoroughly good books core
 spond to those who, two or three gen erations ago, could not or did not read
 at all. A society of uncultivated or
 half-culuyated llteracy is better than a. society where the people of good taste were the only patrons of the bookshops, and in which there were no public libraries to distribute even
 second-rate books to the many. More over, in the generations when literacy became the rule, there has been no falling of of the total public taste In books. A recent writer who has made study of the circulation of books in the bookshops and in the libraries finds that there is an increasing de- mand for the standard novels in pro- portion to the demand for ephemeral fiction; that there is more and more call for biography, travel and books of outdoor life; that the popular light story to-day is better in ideal and workmanship than the kind our grand fathers tolerated; that we read much good fiction; that We read more fact than we ever did; that, 'on the whole,
