Batter Upl

A committee of baseball officials
went to the White House TO leave a
gold pass. They left it, and brought
baway an interesting item of infor-
nation. 1t was that the President
knew the game almost as well as
f1hey did.
No wonder. Theodore Roosevelt
lis nothing if not typicalIy American,
and baseball, as he himself said, is
the characteristic Yankee game. 1t
sis played in the open, is full of go,
balances skill against chance, and in
: the end gives the game TO the better
team. When the American thinks of
KAISER William and his costly yachts,
King Alfonzo and his bull fights,
liking Edward and his horse races,
and the miserable farce of shooting
tame game by the pound, in which
nearly all other heads of govern
ment indulge, he win be glad that
his President takes TO a sport as
tClean as baseball.
