Mack Is Wealthy.

Few people know that he is one of
| cation that has recently completed one
of the largest and finest parks in the
country.
Mack does not have a monopoly on
the college player by any means.
Grant, third baseman of the Philadel-
phia Nationals, came from Harvard
Overall, of the Chicago Cubs, was a
University of California star, both in
football and baseball. Lundgren, form
erly of the Chicago Cubs. came from
the University of Illinois.
Fred Tenney, formerly first baseman
of Boston and the New York Giants,
was one of the first college men to go
into professional baseball He SAYS
conducted. Christy Mathewson,
BuckneN product, takes the same view.
If a young man shows exceptional APP
titude for the national game he can
follow it in summer, earn far better
wages than he could in any other way,
and still have his winters to devote to
any special line of study he may Sc
lect. Dode Brinker is fitting himself for
law in this way.
To go back a considerable distance,
take John Ward, who was at one time
as famous in New York as the leader
OF the Giants as McGraw is at pres
ent. Ward was a contemporary of
such men as Buck Ewing, one of the
greatest catchers that ever lived: Har-
dy Richardson, Charlie Bennett, Roger
Common, Mike Kelly, John Morrill,, John
j. Burdock, Sam Wise, Billy Nash. Fer
guson, who was one of the greatest
ball players that the world has ever
seen yet is not mentioned frequently:
John d. ClarksOn, Silver Flint, Fred
Dunlap, Arthur Irwin, Piggy Calvin,
Tim Keefe, Smiling" Micky Welsh.
Dude Esterbrook and many others.
Schooling In Law.
While Ward was earning fame and
money on the ball field he was quietly
schooling himself in law. On his re-
tlrement from the diamond still in
MS prime as a player, he established
law office, in New York city. Today.
he is prominent in the legal world of
great city, still interested in the
national game although out of active
participation, and Well-tO-do in the
worlds goods. For exercise he goes
to the golf links, and is rated as
among the best players in his district.
What Ward has done can be done
again by any young man who has the
power of application, and concentra-
| ton You have got to use your brain
to get anywhere in a profession The
mechanical performer is spotted in the
tWinkling of an eye. He may pass mus

keynote of success in baseball as well
as other walks of life. But don't con-
