periods when they are unable to get
ball into safe territory, tho they class
among the good hitters. Players who
allow these slumps to worry them sell
dom recover their batting stride, but
those who are patient and willing to
wait until luck breaks for them, usu-
ally make up for the hits they have
missed and finish up to their usual
standard. So long as a player has

If YOU Have Lost Your Grip.


Most of the people whom have met
who are down in the world, or talented
people who are doing mediocre work,
have lost their grip. And what does
that meanp
1t means that they have lost conf
dence in themselves. No man loses
his grip until he loses faith in himself.
The grip and confidence of most
people follow their moods. If their
courage is up, if they feel we'll, their
grip is firm; but the moment they get
little discouraged, or have a fit of
the "blues," they lose their grip, and
are soon way down.
Now, the wiIl-trained man pays very
little attention to his moods, except
to show them that he intends to be
master, that he does not propose to
throw away a good days work just
because he does not happen to be in
the right mood. When hc.yUesN tU- -ffsr
Office or store in the morning, he goes
there determined to do q solid days
work, to give his best; and the result
is that, after awhile, moods have very
little to do with HIM. After he has
conquered them q few times, and
shown himself master of his mental
conditions, his mind falls into line
with his resolution.
People who are victims of their
moods never amount to much, because
they are never masters of themselves.
They never know when they start out
in the morning whether they are going
to do days work or not. If they
"feel like it," they will; if they do not,
both the quantity aud the quality Of
their work will be lowered.
People who are victims of their
moods are weaklings. TEey simply 60
along the line of least resistance. /
know a writer who says he never
knows in the morning whether he is
going to do any effective work that
day or not, because he can do good
work only aohen the Muse says the
aoord, and he never knows when it
will come to him. 1t may come in the
dead of the night, and then he gets up
and rushes for dear life until the spell
il gone.
This is a confession of weakness, q
confession that a man is not his own
master, but that he is subject to some
mysterious force or passion which
comes and goes without any regularity,
which is governed by no principle.
Moody people ought to be very care
full about their living habits. They
should be regular about everything
their meals, their sleep, their exercise,
and their work. The condition Of the
health has everything to do with
moods, and there is no other thing
that will contribute SO much to robust
health as absolute regularity.
The mental attitude has great deal
to do with the mood. II you approach
your work with the spirit of q master,
II you 60 to it as cOnquerOr, with
determination to accomplish what you
undertake at all hazards, and keep at
your work no matter how you feel, you
will be surprised to see how quickly
you will master your mental condition.
Success.

Baseball.

Paper Read Before the Chautauq,aa Circle.
l do not know how many of my
audience are interested enough to fol-
low the progress Of organized baseball.
Perhaps none OF you have had the
pleasure of sitting in the bleachsrs on
hot day with thrills running up and
down your spinal column as the home
team made grand ninth-inniDg finish.
In that case / would be unfortunate
in the selection of my topic as this
paper was written with an idea of
starting a "fanning-bee." Nova sian"
is any person who takes great interest
in baseball and the term includes alike
the man who turns out on Saturday
and yells himself abHgs" ut the players
and umpire, and the steady patron who
attends each day, sits in the grand
stand and keeps in calm frame of
mind-if he can. q
Asto the origin of baseball there
are many who hold different opinions,
but it is the belief of this writer that
the game of today was originated by
the late Henry Chadwick, who was
known as the "Father of organized
baseball" 1t matters but little wheth-
or cricket or "one-old-cat" are respon-
sible for the present finished article.
Professional baseball in its highest
type is embodied in the two big leagues
the National and the American, tho
q pretty fast article is put. up in such
organizations as the American Asso-
citation, Eastern and Southern Leagues.
The game today is more popular than
at any time in its history and is wit
messed by thousands, especially in the
larger cities such as New York, Phila-
delphia, Chicago, Boston and st. Louis.
Indeed, it is hard to say in which city
the game is more popular. st. Louis
is not by any means the largest city,
and has furthermore been handicapped
by inferior teams, especially that of
the National league, turns out immense
crowds-one game this year had an
attendance Of $4,000.
Each league is composed of eight
clubs and the cities of New Y ork, Phila-
delphia, Chicago, Boston and st. Louis
support club in each of the two Iarg-
or organizations. The playing sched-
nal is SO arranged that there are no
conflicting dates-One club being on
the road while the other is at home.
Each club in the major leagues has
from sixteen to twenty players on its
pay roll, generally carrying substitute
infielder and outfielder and catcher in
addition to the regular men. Six
pitchers are considered none too many,
and when such names as Brown, Reul-
back, Overall, Lungren, Pfester and
Frasen appear on the pay roll it as
sumes generous proportions. Even
with enormous expenses there is not
q club in either league that isn't max.
ing big money today. Some of the own
ers insure the lives of all the players
this being the case with the Chicago
and Detroit teams of the National and
American leagues. In these days Of
railroad wrecks Il is wise precaution.
The travelling expenses for each team
amounts to q tidy sum every season.
They are always put up at frst-class
hotels, and certain clubs give the play
ers an allowance of one dollar for each
