Base BAN Games

Every year as soon as ball meets bat
the boys gather on the back lot TO
chose up for base ball, much is said
and written about base ball, its mer-
It's and origin. 1t is still an unde-
clded question with many whether
this distinctly American game was
developed in America or was evolved
out Of the English game OF criquet
and roundery. American authorities
claim it has no connection whatever
with the later two except in SO far as
all games of ball have a certain sim
Hilary and family relationship, BE
that as 1t may, certain 1t is that but
few boys who are really boys can re-
sist the appeal that the game makes
to them. 1t is the purpose OF the
writer to explain this appeal.
We have to look back further than
1926 when 1t is claimed the first
rules Of base ball were written, by the
Knickerbocker club Of New York, to
explain why growing boys take to the
game so naturally.
Primitive man gained superiority
over his fellow creatures by discover
| ing that with the use Of club to
strike and a stone to throw he could
assume the defensive and aggressive
with greater effectiveness than By the
mere use Of the hands alone. Brain
and nerve centres were thus devel'
oped.
| In base ball we find again expression
of these primordial instincts, Coco
batting is nothing more than a per
fected art Of welding q club as dit
primitive man to kill his enemies.
4 Pitching or throwing a base ball i
| a development of the art Of throwing
with accuracy a stone to kill animal
| at a distance.
i Fleeing from enemies or running t
| overtake game finds expression in th
running Of bases. 1t was vital to th
development of primitive man tina
he use these arts to gain superiority
and 1t is vital to our development II
, this age that we perfect our bodie
through muscular activity and excl
, else. This exercise we receive In baS
, ball and other games.
Our fathers lived on farms and a
work was accomplished by bodily e1
lertion; with the advent Of modern Ii
I inventions bodily exertion and th
} use Of our muscles has become lei
0 and less necessary. We therefor
: have recourse to games to give us re-
+ reation and the necessary amount

Last Friday President Roosevelt
sent special message to congress,
IN which he expressed himself in
emphatic language on the subjects
Of an employers liability act, in
functions in labor cases and federal
control of corporations. The mes
sage has stirred up the corporation
ANIMALS and some severe criticism
has been heaped upon the President
hv the corporation press and repre-
sentatives. On the other hand the
message has been warmly commend
ed by those who believe that drastic
legislation is needed along the lines
indicated by the President.

The editor Of the Seimitar, Du-

worrying about how the republican
state central committee is going to
apportion the delegates to the state
conventions. We think the COM
mittee will be able to settle that
question satisfactorily to the repub-
llcans, at least. It is quite certain,
however, that the committee will
not call upon the editor Of the Sclm-
itar for any suggestions IN the
matter.

BARRE BARRIERS STRUCK
Bosses Promise Them Advances When
Granite Plants Resume.

Barre, April 1.-The walkout of the
journeymen BARRIERS In Barre this
morning as the result Of the proprie-
tors OF the shops failing to sign an
agreement at the meeting on Monday
evening was of short duration for
many Of the bosses got together in a
hurry this morning and the tons0rial
business was soon running in the usu-
al way although there were n few
shops which did not assume their usu-
au appearance until noon. The agree
ment calls for an increase in wages
of 81 making the minimum per week
SIS instead Of $li except during the
winter months of January, February
and March. II has been agreed that
the new contract shall not go into eff.
feet until the granite plants have re.
sumed work. BY the terms of the new
contract, also, the shops are to close
at ten o'clock on nights preceding hol-
idays instead of eleven as formerly.
The provisions with a few slight chan
ges are practically the same as the
original demands Of the BARRIERS.
