Baseball Psychological
 More Than Athletic

Perhaps the most interesting series of articles on baseball that has ever been published. is appearing in the American Magazine. The June issue contains another contribution from the pen of Hugh s. Fullerton, the Chi cago expert, in which he deals with the Deciding Moments of Great Games" Of the psychological or cru ciaI moment in all baseball games which is technically known as "the break" he says:
 Nearly every baseball game is won and lost on one play, play that Among the players, who do not study psychology, the crucial moment fs known as the break a phenomenon which not one has analized and which the players themselves do not under stand Twenty men on the bench are watching closely and intently every move of the pitcher, every swing of his arm. The tide of battle rises. ebbs,-and then suddenly at the start of some inning, something happens. What it is no one outside the psychic sphere of influence ever will under stand. but the silent, tight-lipped. watchful, alert fellows on the bench see something, or feel something and the mysterious break has come.
 cone bal1t The players on the for action.
 1.-TWO baIls:' Two players jump for bats and begin swinging them, the coachers. who have yelled only be- cause it was their duty. suddenly be- gin raging, screaming, and paving the dirt, and the manager who has ap- peared half asleep. makes a trumpet of his hands and leads his men bawl- ing loud orders and wild taunts.
 ''The spectators do not understand anything has happened. Other batters have had two balls called many times, and it looks the same to the spectator. who is beyond the mysterious break sphere In two more moments the players bench is madhouse with twenty men. shouting, screaming, or dering, moving. Three balls and a madman rushes out to the deck Four balls and the spectators join the play CTS in the demonstration. The mad ness is spreading. Crack, a base hit,- a bunt. wild throw another base hit screams. shouts, imprecations,-a roar of frantic applause. a final long fly. The manager reaches for his glove, splits into it and says quietly. Four runs-We've got 'em-' The is again the quietest part of the grounds. The surge of enthusiasm con- fdence and noise subsidies and the game is won.
 Baseball is almost as much pSycho- logical as athletic. Why one team can beat a stronger one regularly, and lose to a weaker with the same regularity; why one batter can hit one pitcher and is helpless before another; why one pitcher is effective against a strong team and at the mercy of another that cannot bat half as hard, are psycholog- ical problems"

In Search of a Lodging.

There is a story of a home loving farmer who started for the west and came home ito spend the first night" This was a question of sentiment. But another man, quoted by the Philadel- phia Ledger, had more practical req son for seeking cover. He had been hired by a close listed farmer, who be- lieved in burning the candle at both ends. The first morning the new man was called at o'clock. About fifteen minutes later he came downstairs with his bag in his hand.

The history of a mans clothes can be written from the old veStg stored away in his wardrobe. The coat he wore at graduation and his wedding trousers become but myths, but he can always show you the vests he wore upon those august occasions. The tai Tor who invents a style of dress that will omit the vest has fortune and fame in store for him.

 Oh, ye boys of Harrow school.
 Of cricket ye have no knowiedge: It is not cricket, but the fool,
 You play against Eton college. The Harrow school poet was hunted out and commanded to send ntting reply This clever response made him famous:
 If, as you say, we play the fool
 No wonder we were beaten.
