GOD BLESS OURCOUNTY.

We often wonder if we fully appreciate
our home county, settled as it is with an
honest, thrifty people, and our progress
i've little city teaming with enterprise and
hospitality. We can truly say with the
psalmiSt "The lines are fallen unto me
in pleasant places; yea, have goodly
heritage
The metropolitan cities offer no at
fractions that can compare with our pure
air. The singing birds and blooming
flowers are pleasure unknown in our
crowded cities. But parents who are so
fortunate as to have children given them
should be doubly thankful to have this
garden spot upon which to train them the
way they should CO." The city child has
not one-half the chance in this old world
to make a noble man or woman that
yours has. We see the success or failure
of life. But that is all we see. We cam
not look beneath and know what secret
burdens are carried, what odds are en-
countered. Most of US have hidden
weights and trials which should in Justice
be remembered in the estimate of our
deeds. Life has placed serious handicaps
upon many of us. 1t is not enough to
know who is first to reach the goal.
How did the runners start? What bur.
dens did they carry? By what weights
are they hamperedl
We are not competent to Judge because
it leaves these things out of account.
The very idea of a prosecuting attorney
is hideous. In the balance scales of life
feathers weight may determine destiny.
Yesterday we saw gronp of boys look
ing at a theatre poster. The picture
showed a man in the act of plunging a
dagger into the heart of a woman. The
boys did not RIM or scream, but their eyes
were big and the intensity of their faces
showed that the horror of the picture was
not lost upon them. Nearby were two
younger children playing together in
gutter. Their faces were smeared by the
mud made by the dish-Water running
over the sidewalk, and the children were
amusing themselves floating cigar stumps
in the disgusting pool. This we saw in a

The Brown university baseball team
finished half OF its present season last
Saturday afternoon with a victory over
Lehigh. winning seven of the IL games
played The most notable victories have
been two over Dartmouth and one over
Yale.
The remainder Of this years schedule.
which contains IL games, should be pro-
ductive of some fast ball playing and n
majority Of victories for the hill boys.
The past II games have shown that
Brown has put on the diamond this
spring a far better hitting team than Is

total % nine each 10 their credit. Dickln-
son leads in stolen bases. having pill
fcred eight
In fielding the Brown team has done
good work. although unsteadiness az
critical times has been the cause of sew
eral defeats Higgins and Sweeney have
vet y clean record. while Elrod has only
made one error at first In i've games.

GREAT IMPROVEMENT SHOWN

During the past week there was de-
cided Improvement in the batting aver
ages OF the Providence team. While there
were two games during the week in which
Dunns men did little or no hitting, the
contests on Tuesday and Saturday were
vertable slugging matches.
Pitcher Jossyln leads the batting list
with a mark Of .375, which was attained
by his fine hitting in his first game
here. Mcfarland. with an average OF
1888 IN nine games. is hitting the ball well,
aud Ira Thomas is but nine points behind
him. with 1924. a gain of 20 points over
his last weeks record.
Seven OF the players still have clean
slate in fielding, three OF them being
pitchers and one a catcher. Conn made
one error during the week. but retains
the very creditable mark OF .994. Rocks
percentage OF 800 is very good for a
short stop. and Roy's work during the
week was brilliant az all dnes.
Poland retains a substantial lead OF
the other members OF the team In base
stealing. with seven bases 10 his credit
while Conn. with five three-oaggers in IL
games. easily holds first place in long
hitting Poland and Cronin made home
runs during the week.
The batting and fielding records, includ-
ing Saturdays game. are as follows:
