For the Scorers.

The Sport Writers Association of
I Central Association has a friend
in Manager Belt and already he is
fguring on good scorers bench for
local memberg of this organization
his plan as presented this morning is
TO ut the bench on Top of the grand
stand directly behind the bat. that is
IN direct line. The little structure
VIII be entirely closed in to protect
the scorers from the wind and rain
and will likewise be away from the
! players and spectators.
In the past the spectators have been
a source o. worry to the men scoring
and on a crowded day the scoring
bench would not only contain news,
paper men, but spectators as well.
iAe bench was also too near the play
ers which is bad feature.

essential, but when they pass ava!
the bloom of flowers seems mor'
beautiful, and the song of birds
more sweet. Into each life rair
must fall, some days must be darl
and dreary." God in His wisdom
designed that there should be nigh
as well as day; that there should
be shadows as we'll as sunlight
Did you ever listen to the song oi
lark as came the rainbow inlaiG
with crimson and gold? And ther
did you not pause and think, as
the soul drank in the melody, al
the eyes tested on the over-hangine
beauty, that, without the rain,
storm and clouds that preceded,
such realization would never have
swept into your being?
Unkind words do as much harm
as unkind deeds; many a heart has
been wounded beyond cure by
words; many a reputation has been
stabbed to death by few little
words. They have separated fam
lilies, parted husbands and wives
and broken the ties between dear
est friends.
The way to get the best there is
in people is to give them your best.
Don't expect others to be sweet
and polite and thoughtful so long
as you adhere to the selfish princi-
pie that people must take you as
they find you" When your
friends begin to grow careless and
disrespectful, stop and think wheth-
er you are not getting back a re-
Election of yourself.
Very many of the sweetest joys
of Christian hearts are songs which
have been learned in the bitterness
Of trial. It is said of a little bird
chat he will never learn to sing the
song his master will have him sing
while it is light in his cage. He
learns snatch of every song he
hears, but will not learn a full sep
arate melody of his own. And the
master covers the cage and makes
t dark all about the bird, and then |
1e listens and learns the one song
hat is taught him, until his heart |
S full of it. Then, ever after, he
sings the song in the light: With
many of us it is as with the bird. |
The Master has a song he wants to
each us, but we learn only a strain
# it, note here and there, while
We catch up snatches of the worlds
ong and sing them with it. Then
lie comes and makes it dark about |
Is till we learn the sweet melody
lie would teach US. Many of the
oveliest songs of peace and trust
ung by Gods children in the world
ave been taught in the darkened
hamber of sorrow.
Let no young man of industry
nd perfect honesty despair because
is profession or calling is crowded.
let him always remember that there
J room enough at the top, and that
he question whether he is ever to
each the top or rise above the
rowd at the base of the pyramid
