BRAINS ARE REQUIRED in
RANKS OF B~ALL=PLAYERS
Inside Ball Has Become a Scientific Piece Of Work
and Gray Matter Is Necessary for Every
Man Who Intends to Follow the
Game for a Livelihood.
BY TOM DUGAN.

~ OES a ball-pIayer require brains to become success
full In his calling? I sat in the press box daubina
s a score book yesterday afternoon trying to keep
tracksof Oriole Hunter when he was chasing Jimmy Null
len and Clyde Engle down near the third bag in the sew
enth inning. 1t was a busy few seconds, but the fan
who interrupted me with the question did not think so,
and my silence then may have hurt his feelings, SO the
answer will be given here now. 1t requires as much
brains to become a good fast man on the baseball field,
just as much as 1T requires the same gray matter to

Were it not for the thousands of
people who are slaves to imaginary
necessities we might have avoided the
panic of last October" says writer
in Appleton's 1T was these people
indirectly who brought it on. 1t was
these people who suffered most when
it came. The laws of nature are iron
in their retribution. The man who is
earning $40 a week and spending SIS
does not fear panics. Neither does
the man who is ssrning 5000 a
year and spending $4,000. Sailors
who do not know how to reef their
sails would be at the mercy Of squalls.
People who do not know how to cut
down their expenses are at the mercy
of panics. A certain rich New Yorker,
who retired from the stock exchange
recently, started business 40 years
ago with three friends. When times
we're prosperous he could not afford to
live as we'll as they did. When times
were hard they had to borrow money
of him in order to live at all.

woman Touuher rhan Man.

Although men, as they run, are per-
haps muscularly stronger than wom-
en-. their ability to withstand the ele-
ments and their reliance upon clothes
places them considerably below the So
called weaker sex in the matter of un-
clothed toughness. Women wear
clothes for ornament; men use them
as a protective covering. A group Of
men marooned, clothesless on an island
in the temperate zone might be expect
ed to die off in a month from draughts
and colds and rheumatism The health
of women similarly placed would suf-
fer little from the enforced exposure.
The fact appears to be, therefore. that
in everything but muscle-in vitality,
ruggedness, character, disposition.
brain power, etc, woman is the tough
err, not the weaker, sex.

The SCHOOL LANDS SITUATION.

e'The people Of this state will be called
upon at the coming election to vote on
the proposition Of selling the school lands
Of the state. This is big question and
should be studied carefully
.The voter is not asked to say simply
whether the school lands snail be sold Or
not. There could be but one answer to
such question If the lands were 70 be
sold under a plan which would be mutu-
ally helpful to the schools and the COM
munites in which the lands are located
all would, Of course, favor the bill How
ever, this Is not the case Abill has been
drafted providing the method Of disposine
of the lands, and we are fortunate enough
to know in advance just how the lands
are to be sold
with this knowledge before the voter
it depends entirely on his viewpoint as to
whether he will favor the bill or not.
III you have the interest of the schools
Of the state at heart, and desire the schools
to have the greatest benefit Of the school
lands. you win vote against the proposed
bill for their sale
III you believe that the men---thousands
Of them---who have leased these lands for
eight years ought to have the right now
10 acquire them. and that the payment
Of taxes on the lands is Of more impor-
tance than their preservation 70 the
schools. then you win vote to sell the
lands
1T should be remembered that in the
bin before the public it is the interests Of
the school lessees that has been guarded,
There is a sharp conflict between the in
terests Of this great lobby and the public
school system When YOU vote line up
with the side with which you are in SYM
pathy
"The present bill which the people Of
the state are asked to endorse was drawn
with the approval Of tic school land les
sees lobby. This lobby is the strongest
organization in the state. On one day,
when matters interesting the school land
lessees were before the legislature. eight
hundred of them visited the legislature
and told the lawmakers what they
wanted They are strong enough 10 en-
force their demands. They have succeeded
in having drafted bill which viii, in ef-
feet give them the school lands Of the
state at their own price. for the law is SC
drafted that il discouraees any other thar
"a lessee from bidding If a Muskoges
man wanted to buy a piece Of scqool land
in Garfield county. he is permitted to bid
but after he has put in his bid the LESSEE
can step in and take the land. The lessee
does not have to bid at all. It's to his
interest to see that the land is appraised
at the lowest possible price, and then ge
a friend to put In "phony' bid, and afte
il is sold on this phoay' bid the lesse'
can step in and claim the land.

HARD TIMES FOR
LITERARY LIGHTS
Even Magazines Diving Into
Darrell.

NEW YORK, June 4.-(SpeciaD -
All Winter it has been hard times
for literary lights. There has been
absolutely nothing doing" with the
magazines for most writer's; the
mOnthlies were living on "refrigerat-
ed stuff" and buying nothing. Last
week, however, brought out the fact
that the magazines with the reputa-
ton for paying the highest rates in
this country has not only been rely
ing on it's accumulated store of litera-
ture for it weekly issues, but has
even been trying to sell off some of
it's accumulated verse at bargain
rates This Letter was received by the
editor of one of the few magazines
which has been buying throughout the
winter:
My dear -: AS yod probably
know from your own experience, we
editors accumulate a great deal of
material, which after a while we find
to be unsuitable for our use. In
looking over our accumulated mater
ial / find a good deal of verse. Some
years ago we used much but latterly
have found it impossible to give up
much space to rhyme For this rea-
son | am sending you proofs of some
of the things we now have on hand,
thinking that you may be interested,
and that perhaps you might care to
buy some of it.
After this little preamble came the
prices for an absolute slaughter sale
in literature A verse, bought for
SIS, together with the pictures drawn
for it by a Well-knOWn illustrator at
the cost of $3.50, was offered at the
bargain price of $50. There were also
four sonnets, with their accompany
ing ''cuts," to be gladly disposed of at
$40 apiece, the magazine having pur-
chased them at imported rates. Slight
bits of 'vers de societe," would be
knocked down at the extraordinary
sacrifice of 81 apiece. One stray
rhyme, THE EXpressman," was even
to be allowed to disappear for the
really negligible consideration of 81
cash
A Church publication of fair stand
ing has been coming out for some
months remunerating it's writer's only
with four perfectly good, new copies
Of the issue in which their work ap-
peared.
AS a result of this slightly Bohe-
milan state Of affairs, one magazine
writer who usually has enough or
ders ahead to keep her busy has tenn
porarily left the fields of literature
for the more certain gleanings of
school teaching. Beginning with
December her name appeared on the
payrolls of the Board of Education
as a substitute teacher in the high
schools, which place brings her in
some $73 monthly.

MARINES FOR
PANAMA ELECTION
Revolutionary Tendency in
Campaign.
WASHINGTON, D. G.. June

WASHINGTON, d. c., June A.
.Panama's presidential campaign
which is to eliminate in an election
the first week in July, has recently
developed revolutionary tendencies
to such an extent as to cause grave
concern, and the serious intention tC
employ severe measures on the part
of the American government to in
sure a fair and honest election, prob
ably the first in the history of Cen
trail American politics.
Five hundred American marines
stationed on the isthmus will be de-
tailed on the two election days to the
100 polling places. AS some of the
precincts will need no armed super
vision, and others may need more
than a handful of taroops, the ma
rines will be distributed where they
will do the most good in the way OF
preserving order
The contest is between Vice Presi-
dent Obaldia and Secretary of the
State Arias. At the time Obaldia was
elected Vice President and AmadoI
President the later favored the presi-
Dental aspirations of Obaldia. who
had previously been Minister to the
| United States. Shortly after his last
election AmadOr took a six months
trip to Europe, and Obaldia went to
the head of the government Obaldia
as President compelled Ossia the de-
posed governor, and brother of the
wife of President AmadOr to turn
over to the government a large rev.
enue he is alleged to have been
turning into other channels. He next
compelled his present political OPP
ponent, Arias, to put up $4,000, as
required by the concession, just ex-
pired, through which Arias had con-
trolled the market of Panama. Incl
dentally, it is explained here that Ar
las, who is one of the keenest bust
ness men on the isthmus, has control
of the electric light concession, of the
ice and meat business, and other pay
ing monopOlies
These evidences of reform in poll
tics brought to Obaldia the support
of the liberal or progressive party,
but it alienated the President and the
Vice President. Arias entered the
race as a conservative, and from his
entry the machinery of government
has been operating busily in his be-
half.
