SOMETIMES
TO DROP BALL
Fielder Who Lost Gams by
Catching a Long
Foul Fly

There are times when 1t is better 10
drop a ball than it is to hold 1t says tie
New York Evening World. Several yea
ago an outhelder in the National Leasue
lost a very important game by making
remarkably long running catch Of
long foul hy near the fence. If he had
dropped the ball his team might have had
a chance to win.
There was a runner on third with only
one out and one run was needed to win.
BY catching the long foul the fielder ale
lowed the runner to wait on the bag until
the ball was caught and then score, as
done every day. II the fielder had allowed
the foul fly TO drop >owt of his hands or
had not gone for It, there would have
been no trouble, as the runner could not
advance on a foul which was not caught.
The very fact that he had to run long
way for the bali made it impossible 20 re-
cover and throw to the plate in time to
catch the runner.

which appeared in st. Nicholas maya

that recruits in the navy had nothing
to do but scrub. scrub all the time. In
speaking of the delights of the navy

many advantages which make its SER
vice extremely desirable. Take the

who have had the advantage of a col

people who do the hard work. such as
mentioned above. What are his pros
poets? Let us predict his future, for
say. thirty years.
Having finished school, or, probably
having quit before his schooling was
finished. in order to earn his living. he
goes to work in the class of 'unskilled
labor. In factories he works nine
hours a day and gets on the average oil
about 81 % day, or $4,000 per month
The same may be said of general labor
On the farm the pay is usually $500
per month. with board and lodging
These wages are paid in times OF pros
perity. but in times of financial depres'
sion. strikes, lockouts, etc, many can
not obtain employment at any price
These times, then, eat up what has
been saved when the man was at work,
