Stop and Think.
You young men who are playing
around the lots and who know the
game stop and think of the valuable
time you are losing for not trying to
get out in fast company! And you
a only do this by showing your tai
ent. The movement on foot to hold a
series of games between teams of the
various cities and towns will bring
every player in this State out and ]
would suggest that the managers of the
various teams here get together and
let us heal from you on the subject.
A Passing Mention.
And speaking of the semi-professional
ball, there comes word from Hacken-
sack tina there will be no Sunday ball
playing there any more. Hackensack
is composed of men of mean and each
one wears wings. They sleep in the
town and earn their money in New
York. When they want to see a game
of ball they hop the subway and go to
the National or American League Park.
Then they come home and tell their
friends about it. But the poor cuss
who can't afford a ride on the trolley
or subway has to do without his Sun
day recreation because Hackensack
people say it is unlawful to play ball
on the Sabbath. But you don't hear
any of the housewives over there say
that it is a bad thing for their hub
bies and their son to play a little
quiet game of poker on a Sunday, and
let me tell you this. the game is pretty
good over there. However. when Hack
gets into the world of doings
they will allow the national game to
be played at any old time.

side of a pocketbook. OF course many
try to become champs, but few of
them are chosen, so that when one of
the pugs who has gained a title and
falls away from it because he has been
beaten by a better mar you never hear
much about them. Take all the former
champs and see where they are today.
Sullivan, of course, is in the public
eye. So is Corbett because of his
thespian %avocation. Fitzsimmons is
keeping his name in print by appearing
in vaudeville, and when he is not doing
that he is challenging someone to fight
him, be it a Quakertown millionaire or
a present champion.
OF course the name of Jeffries will
linger along for quite awhile as being
one of the few men to retire champion
and who had the good common sense
to keep out of the business for good.
Prize-fighters are like good race
horses. when once beaten they lose
their following and their names are
seldom mentioned.
Some fighters have had the good
sense to realize this and have saved
their ducats for the rainy days. The
money won by fighters comes so easy
to them that the old saw come easy,
go easy" is true in their case.
If Tom Sharkey walked through Mar
ket street seven years 6 the police
would have had to be called out to
keep the crowd back. He was in the
championship timber class then. If he
passed by the -Four Corners today hard
ly any further mention than this would
be heard: There goes that fellow
Sharkey. He stayed twenty-five rounds
with Jeffries." Such is fame, even in
the pugilistic world.

Baseball Pays.
While you cannot seriously call base
ball one of the beaux arts, still it takes
cleverness and a certain disposition to
make good at this game. 1t pays its
men such coed money that everywhere
the owners of the big leagues and man.
ayers have their scouts out looking Tor
young baseball players. Only yester-
day Charley Murphy, of the Chicago
Cubs, offered the sum of $4,000 for two
good pitchers. Years ago it was the
custom of parents to apprentice their
sons to tradesmen for a certain period
in the hopes of having their SON learn
a trade, so that they could have some
thing in after life to fall back on as
a means of livelihood. None of the
trades today which require laborious
work and nearly the entire portion of
the day pay half as much as does the
game of baseball. Why then don't the
young men of today set about learning
the game of baseball and thus escape
the hard daily grind resultant on near
ly every trade which is worth follow
ing?
Didn't Believe 1t.
When Young George McQuillan, one
of the best twirlers in the National
League today, and who has only been
playing professional ball for the past
-four years. ran away from the Hudson
River Club. his father. who is an or
ganist, was asked by the club owners,
who wanted the boy. to tell where he
had gone to. but the older McQuillan
refused to tell.
Then his inquisitor remarked, eff I
knew where he was I could place him
in a position to get $3.50 a month"
WHAT" exclaimed the father, edo they
make that much money playing ball?"
He couldn't believe 1t.
Incentive TO Players.

professional baseball players are going
TO get together in a few days from this
city. Elizabeth. Jersey City, Harrison.
Passaic. Rutherford. Wellington and
Paterson and arrange to play a series
of games for the championship of the

be a good thing to give the semi-pro
men a chance to show their worth. and
if they make good then they will be

they make.

Florence Nightingale. Noble Woman Among the Modest

Florence Nightingale, Queen of Nurses, was born in Florence, Italy, in the year 1920. Her parents were English, her father being MT. William Nightingale, of Embley Park, Hampshire, and Lea Hurst, Derbyshre, a gentleman of wealth and position. Her mother was the daughter of the well-known abolitionist, MT. Smith, n member of Parliament for Norwich.
 While still very young Florence Night ingale displayed a deeply sympathetic nature, visiting the poor and sick of her neighborhood and ministering to their wants with her own hand and purse.
 The wealth and prominence of her family gave Miss Nightingale a most en- viable social position, but the gay life of fashionable London had little charm for her, and soon after her presentation" she withdrew from the social whirl to devote her energies in behalf of the sick and needy. She made a thorough study of the conditions of the hospitals of London, Dublin and Edinburgh. Then she travelled over the Continent investi- gating the hospitals, both civil and mill tary, of many countries
 In 1851 she went into training as nurse in the Institution of Protestant Deaconesses at Kaiserwerth, on theRhine.
 In 1854, when the war between England and Russia broke out, Miss Nightingale was fully equipped for the responsible position she was to occupy during that time of trouble. With a few noble wom- en who willingly sacrificed families. friends and homes to go to the scene of conflict,
