ABSURD AND FOOLISH

MIS-. Laur6 Bfldc POWcrS,
chairman art section, Califor-
MIA clubs II think that trial
marriage is absurd and foolish.
1t is a condition that is abso-
lutely incompatible with our
present civilization. We haven't
advanced far enough even to
consider such thing. It is
impossible to conceive to a
religionist, and from an eco
nomic and social standpoint it
is equally unsound."

Rev. John Il. MeGinty, pas

The trial marriage is out
rageous. We look on people
who go down to the tenderIoin
as outcasts-and what better
are people who are party to a
trial marriage?"

MOCKERY OF MARRIAGE
Rev. Louis j. Sawyer, pastor
Hamilton square Baptist church;

H8mltIOn DdptASh
Marriage is divine institu-
ton, and not merely an arrange
ment of convenience. Two peo-
pie are set apart by the AL
mighty in order that each child
may be trained by individual
teaching inspired by the hottest
of motives. Any temporary ar
rangement is a travesty, which
fails of the profound purpose
for which marriage was insti-
tuted. Men will always seek
to evade the direct obligation
laid upon them by God, but in
no issue is the experiment so
fatal as when they trifle with
human life. A trial marriage
is mockery upon the real in
stitution."

SEES THEORY SAID

Astronomers Declare PROPOSE
ton Most Advanced of ANY
Yet Published

The new astronomical theory of Prof.
/. j. j. See of the Mare Island observa-
tory, regarding the formation of plan
cts out of cosmical dust-streams
which were drawn together while
whirling through space-has attracted
the attention of all astronomers in
California. But the savants are walt
ing for Professor See to expound his
mathematical calculations through
which he claims to have arrived at his
discovery
The new theory was first promul-
gated in paper by Professor See
| which was read Saturday night at
Chabot observatory, Oakland, by Prof.
russell I. Crawford of the University
OF California. Owing to illness See
could not attend the meeting.
REASONABLE THEORY
Prof. Charles Burckhalter. astrono-
mer in charge of the Chabot observa-
tory, said yesterday:
Professor Sees theory seems to me
more reasonable than any other that
has yet been advanced. There have
been many along the same line dealing
with the nebular hypothesis. 1 believe
that See has not solved the whole mys-
terry OF the universe, but he is enthuSi-
astic In his discovery, which is great

peiieve that they were, and that See
also is. And l believe that the mystery
or the planets will not be solved by
any one man, or at one time. The
secret Will grow, and such work as
Professor See has done is long step.
Abiding to Sees theory that there
are other planets beyond Neptune, yet
TO be discovered by the eye and tele-
scope, Burckhalter said:

worlds series played in Detroit last
fall between the Cubs and Tigers. The
fourth inning of that game was one
of the greatest, if not the greatest,
ever played on ball field. We had a
lead of two runs, the Tigers not hav-

Crawford shot another between short

"Outguessing a batter and knowing
in which direction foul ball is go

ever be taught There are certain
general rules about how to mix up
curves. speed and slow balls to bat
ter, but they are not absolute. and
it IS up to the catcher to figure out
what it is the man with the stick is
looking for, and then cross him.
There is where headwork counts, if
it doesn't anywhere else. A catcher
can be taught the weaknesses of the
batsmen, but he must possess this
quality as we'll or he is merely a me-
chanical player. The ability to know
which way to turn to go after a foul
ball is intuitive: it cannot be taught
any man.

sively at Track Meets
These Days.

Oxygen is playing a greater and
greater part in athletic contests and
wonderful results are reported to
have been observed
The pugilist, Young Corbett, was
one of the first to put his faith in
the exhilirating effects of the tank"
and since his endorsement it has been
used in track sports. Recently at an
athletic meet in New York it's use
was general and the result was that
records were smashed and those who
whitfield did even better than they
to expect.
AT the Military Athletic league
events, members of the Twenty third
New York caught the fever and gave
it real try-out and while they did
not capture the point trophy they did
much better than they mad expected
and pushed their close rivals to the
breaking of records to defeat them.
In several of the events those who
had not expected to do better than
third inhaled long and deep of the
oxygen, started and won.

lungs with oxygen, did we'll in the

that in the rush for the tape he ac-
tually found time to turn his face
around toward the big fellows who
were tearing their hearts out to catch
him, and laugh at them
Carl Walther, who was not figured
to get much more than third in the
half, won the event from a good field
He. too, was filled up with oxygen.
In the quarter Robbins got second
and Harry Sedley was unplaced.
Sedley, however, did not take long
enough draw. and the effects wore off
before he had gone 800 yards.
The only man on the Twenty third
team who does not swear by oxygen
is MacMeekin, the sack racer. He
took some of the stuff and felt SO
strong that he simply could not keep
his stride down. His legs persisted in
stretching out as though ne We're run

WINGS THAT WERE FINS.
Evidence That Penguin's Pinions
Were Once Used for Swimming.

archaeological puzzles are the pen
gums with their curiously shaped
wings and odd unbirdlike upright
carriages The peculiarities of theig
wings suggest that the penguins are
descendants of birds which used their
wings rather than legs in the pursuit
of prey under water. and as the
struggle intensified between the COM
peting individuals the most expert al
this sort of swimming would get the
most food and GUST their less sue
cessful rivals. The winners gained
advantage over their neighbors in
proportion as their wings improved
as swimming organs, and inversely
and of necessity became less suited
to perform the work of fight.
In all other birds the feathers,
though shed annually, are more or
less gradually displaced; but in the
penguins the new feathers all start
into being at the same time and
thrust out the old feathers upon their
tips so that these come away in great
flakes. Whereas in all birds save
penguins the new feathers as they
thrust their way through the skin end
in pencil-like points, formed by in
vesting sheaths. in the penguins
these sheaths are open at the tips
and attached by their rims to the
roots of the old feathers. and hence
these are held to their successors
until they have attained a sufficient
length to insure protection against
cold.
The curious device for retaining
the warmth afforded by the old
feathers until the new generation car
fill their places is apparently due to
the fact that penguins are natives OF
the antartic regions, although some
now inhabit tropical seas.-Chicago

Young catchers would do we'll to
study carefully the way the great
backstops in the game today handle
themselves" says Chance. "Catchers
are. l believe, the hardest men to find
, when YOU are going out after really
great player. and more depends on
them than any other sing,e cog in the
baseball machine. 1t is easy enough
to find mechanical catchers. There
the big leagues; the truly great ones
can be counted on the fingers of one
hand.
TOO many youngsters getting their
first tryout in the big league display
weaknesses that are almost impossible
to overcome. For instance, if a man
is so built that he is afraid of getting
spiked by a base runner coming in
from tn I'd, who is making a desperate
effort to score, and who is going to
way to overcome the disposition to
back up from the plate to take the
as he slides by, rather than block him
off the rubber and put the ball on
him. Many and many a game has
been won and lost on exactly this
kind of a play, the base runner sue
ceeding in eluding the catcher, though
the latter may have had the ball in
plenty of time to put it on him. The
demand, which is becoming more and
more insistent, that the catcher stand
directly in the path Of the base-runner
and block him off from the plate, is
what has led to the use of shin
guards to protect the backstop from
the injury resulting from the spikes
of the runner.
There are many catchers in the
business with great throwing arms
and still they are not regarded as
particularly dangerous; certainly not
as great backstops The chief reason
| is that they do not use the proper
Judgment in the use of this ability.
Base-runners soon come to know how
we'll any catcher throws and what Eb-
critics can be taken with him, how big
lead can be taken off any base and
whether the catcher is likely to take
a chance on nipp.ng him off second
at critical moments. Great catchers
seldom throw to bases promiscuously.
They go after base-runner only
when he becomes too bold and gets
too far off the bag. making the play
practically sure of success. Base
runners soon come to fear such man
more than the one who is continually
lheaving to the infielders. The catcher
who is constantly throwing to get
base-runners stands just that much
more chance of making bad and costly
throws than the one who is conserva-
tive.
THE greatest illustration of the
value of the conservative throwing
