GOOD JUDGMENT
Is A REQUISITE

Initiative coupled with judgment
IL requisite truly necessary to per
sonal success. A man with the one
and without the other Is like an auto.
mobile with good four-cylinder en-.
gine and deficient steering gear. II
can make lots Of hesdway, but is very
apt to knock down some one or run
into an iron fence. Seldom we find
a man possessing both the disposition
to go ahead and the ability to decide
In matters Of import.
It is easy enough to do any old
thing at the right time. but the man
who can do the right thing at the
right time is most useful to his EN-
ployer. Some people can see what is
to be done and have the power to dc
It, But when it comes to an express
sion Of opinion, their Judgment is
worse than that of country baseball
umpire.
On the other hand, good judgment
without the ability to go ahead is
worse than useless.
A jackass was once stationed at a
point equally distant between two
bundles Of hay. There was all lie
wanted to eat ON one side, and all he
wanted to eat on the other. Ordi-
narily even jackass would have
possessed reason enough to take the
bundle lying nearest to him. What
could he do, however, when one was
as far off and the other? That ques-
tion was too tremendous for the jack
ASS. He tried to use his best judg.
ment, and stood there with hay piled
up on both sides OF him. He lacked
initiative, however, and as the story
goes, starved to death before he could
come to decision.

SCOTCH PLAINS
Nine IN LEAGUE.

PLAINFIELD, Feb. 81: - The
management of the Scotch Plains
baseball team has reconsidered its
decision to play independent ball this
summer and will join the Inter-City
Amateur League in which they fin
ished second last season, coming
within a small margin of winning the
pennant. The decision to join the
league was reached few nights ago
after a conference in which the Ju-
nior o. U. A. NJ team of this city
agreed to use the diamond at Scotch
Plains during the coming season.
In arranging schedule of games,
care will be exercised not to have the
play at the Plains on those dates
when the home team is away. This
will give the fans of that place a
game every Saturday, something
which they desired. 1t was for that
reason only that the management
thought of Withdrawing from the
league.
According to the new arrangement
there should be an increased interest
in the game at the Plains, as the
Juniors will be close second in the
choice among the fans, because they
will in reality represent the Plains
as much as the league aggregation
The announcement that the Plains
will be represented in the league has
revived interest and 1t means that the
other clubs will have to play their
best ball to win out.
