DRAFTED BY CUPID
FROM BIG LEAGUE

ST. LOUIS, April 29.-Because a
pair of bright eyes of fair Cali
fornia girl constantly haunted him,
Charlie Enright, the young short
stop of the st. Louis Cardinals,
quietly packed his grip, left his sal
airy in the hands of the manage
ment and today is on his way to
the western state with a ticket to
Sacramento, California, in his
pocket
Enright, who is 81 years of age,
easily made good with the Car
dinals, and was showed a flash of
speed in the spring practice and
opening games that astonished his
team mates. Then the lads play
ing took slump, his batting aver
age in the dining room fell away
and he became melancholy.
Finally the lure of the Califor-
mia girl proved too strong, and a
few days ago Enright~- quietly
slipped away. Enright played ball
in Sacramento before he joined the
Cardinals, and the st. Louis team
bought his release from Sacrament
to for $1,000.

DO AWAY WITH BASEBALL SPIKES
AND MAKE BASEBALL BETTER

BY TIP WRIGHT.

Down with the baseball spikes!
They are relics of barbarism
that have remained when other
bad features have become obso-
lete.
I'd like to know why they are
permitted?
viii some gent, player or mag
nate please rise up on his hind
legs and tell me?
| can't understand why men
who have thousands of dollars in
vested in players and property
permit these instruments of tor
ture. They are emblems of cruelty.
They are the only reminder of the
rowdy days. They haven't the
claim of necessity to hinge their
( tistence upon.
Every year in every league ball
players are injured by spikes. In
the major leagues men whose
services are valued at from $4,000
to $4,000 are put out Of the game
by them almost every week. In
the minors young players of prom
Use are injured, often made spike
shy, and their value lessened by,
torn leg or MANNED hand.
/, for one. don't consider that
an infielder need pass through a
baptism of cold steel. like game
cock, to ascertain whether he pos
sesses nerve.
Do away with the spikes. Sub
stitute leather cleats such as foot
ball players wear, or hollow rub
Der discs, or roughened leather
soles and note the Improvement.

rowdies now. They whoop because
they can't go into base feet first
and spikes up, to get, by intimi-
dalton and manning, what they
cannot achieve by cleverness and
speed. And | ask, are these row.
dies to dominate? Is dirty base
ball to maintain?
l imagine base ball men appre-
ciate their loss when stars are
forced out of the game by a 10
cent spike. l know the fans are
sore every time they see blood
flash from a gashed leg or hand.
I know every player fears blood,
poison from the dirt encrusted
steel, and | know base ball would
be more interesting and just as

to shed these relics of the In

HIS HIGH IDEA.
By,EDwN A.NYE.

Nelson O. Nelson ofSLeclaire. H., is
a real force in the world OF men.
Nelson does things.
The founder OF the cooperative fac
tory and town OF Leclaire is hne
type OF the Norwegian American citi.
- A poor boy, the son Of emigrani
/ parents. a struggling young man. a sol
dier in the civil war, a successful man
ufacturer. benefactor-these are thu
/ steps I'm the ladder up which Nelson
| has gone
Leclaire. named for the founder OF
the profit sharing system, is a few
miles from East ST. Louis.
IL is a beautiful town. All the streets
are plated as winding roads. fright
angled streets are as Objectionable as
right angled people" says Mr.. Nelson.
There are flowers and shrubbery.
lake Tor rowing. fishing skating etc,
a clubhouse. bowling alley-eyery con-
venience for comfort
In this town the factory employees
pay rent 10 themselves. Every cent OF
the rental goes toward paying for the
property. and only a low interest rate
is charged The houses have every
modern convenience.
Also in this town all public utilities,
as water. gas, electric lights, are abso-
lutely free.
Nelson o. Nelson pays the bill.
But that is only the beginning OF Mr.
Nelson's benefcence. Every employee
in the big factory shares in the profit
Of the business in proportion TO his
wages. From 1886 TO 1904 these profits
were distributed at the end OF the year.
In 1904 dividends were temporarily
suspended on account OF slow business.
but they were resumed next year with
4 per cent interest on back dividends.
Beginning last year, Mr.. Nelson paid
no salary whatever to himself. Lest
some one should say Something in It
for Nelson. the president remarked.
Well, what has there been In It for
Nelson?
He has made a big fortune out OF It.
He says dividing profits with the man
who works for you pays You are in
partnership with every worker.
But
Mr.. Nelson's idea Is n bigger one
than that Of sharing profits for the
sake Of profits, big and benehcent as
that idea IS.
Here Is his biggest thought:
There is something better than mon
ey, as see It. in business. II is the
satisfaction Of making business a serv-
Ice"
There is the heart Of the mans high
motive. Business rightly viewed is a
distinct service rendered TO humanity.
as much as preaching-or more so.
Personally it is Mr.. Nelson's duty to
serve his fellows.
What II our captains OF industry
should all get that idea and feel that
obligation?
