BASEBALL AS A
MORAL FORCE,
A. q. spaisiing Tells New York Boys
the Advantages Of Diamond Game.


A. q. Spalding lauded baseball in
glowing terms recently before the
public school athletic league of New.
ork. A part OF his address follows:
An American boy takes TO athletic
sport and games like a duck TO water
nut this natural Unborn love needs
proper direction. Baseball not only
develops the muscles and the whole
physical body. but ii is or still great
er value in developing the mental
faculties. for the ball player must be
alert, must think quick and act with
The thought. for there is no place on
tne team for the laggard. Ii Is also
great training Tor the temper, for
boy soon learns that losing his tenn
per Is equivalent to losing the game.
AS amoral force nothing excells base
ball, and athletic sports generally,
for it Is "a neaithy medium through
which boys youthful Vitality can
work on naturally, and after hard
fought game he has become so pnys-
ically tired out that he has no incli-
nation FOR anything except good
meal and 20 TO bed.
THE game OF baseball affords
splendid discipline for the mental
and moral natures. The intense ex-
know the feeling, boys, for 1 have

30 To the very nights OF glory la vic
tory, down 10 the very depths of
despair in defeat. There are.no half
way stations; the journey Is com
plete; The score Is 10 10 A.; you win
or you lose. After the game the
victorious player walks or runs of
the field with a proud step, touching
only the high places. or perhaps his
admiring friends may carry him on
on their shoulders. But alas. How
different is the step of the defeated
player. his muscles are weary and
almost refuse TO work, his feet
weigh q ton, and there is no glad
hand or admiring friend to accom-
pany him TO the dressing room. He
looks crushed, and probably feels an
unpleasant swelling Ia his throat. /
know the feeling. boys. for l have
been there. 1 know OF no remedy
for this tired. defeated feeling. but
my experience long since taught me
that the swelling In the throat could
be reduced and the step made lighter
BY going nnmediately after the game
vas over. up to the player who had
played similar position on the op-
posite team, shake him by the hand
and congratulate hiIa on his VIC
tory. and tell him chat no won be
cause his team outplayed yours.
Don't lay it on the umpire only
muckers' do that--for that Is un-
manly. unsportsmanlike and insari-
ably untrue. The victor of today may
be the yanquished OF tomorrow. so
n the boy can have few years of
this kind OF training he will learn
not TO be unduly eiated in victory
nor too much cast down in defeat,
all OF which tends 10 that self-poise
