get Ii weeks miseries by watching "A hred
pitcher strike out a hired batsman with three
hired men on bases, why should anybody
worry about the dictates of reason? If unrea-

reasonable to protest against it. We have only
admiration for the citizen who can get intoxl-
Gated over a respectable game without the aid
of Il stimuant like college patriotism. He has
only one superior-to wit, the man who gets
thrills by gloating over the downtown bulletin
boards where detailed reports OF professional
baseball games are posted. This is that utter
self surrender to Il vivid imagination which
marks the perfect artistic temperament We
rejoice at the opening of the baseball season
because it shows us again how easily human
happiness may be attained.

history of metaphysics we find that the OBJ
