you and is afraid to open his mouth.
AS long as you behave in regard to
drinking and play good ball you, not
he, are master. And for doing all this
you get larger wages than lots of
successful business men.
Yet with at least 100000 young
men in America less than 1000 hold
such positions. 1t is safe to say that
100000 of that 100000 hold posi-

There may be those who say that in
baseball there is no future. That
entirely depends upon the man. Many
business men, lawyers. doctors, etc,
have educated themselves while play

Summer months, when a boy is not in
college. With the Winter he can lay
down bat and ball and take up the pro-

equipped to enter one of the learned
professions. of any business he may
choose to pursue.

study law or medicine he can take a
four years course in either and
graduate at the appropriate age of
twenty-six or twenty-eight with &c.,
