MOST BASEBALL PLAYERS
 ARE LIVING MODEL LIVES
Hish-Saiaried Diamond Artists Real. ize That They Must Keep In
 Best of Condition.

The life of the average baseball player is as close to the model a good citizen should follow as can be. He is generally married. and. except when he is travelling. spends his spare time at home. On the road he is at his hotel most of the time when he is not at the baseball park. Once or twice a week, perhaps. he goes to the theater. but generally he spends .the evening in the lobby of his hotel talking over baseball and other mat ters with members of his own team and friends who drop in to see him. ! Nine times out of ten he is in bed and asleep by 10:30 o'clock.
 In the old days of baseball it used to be quite the thing for the star | player to spend his nights in drinking with friends. basking in the geniality of popularity. and mixing in rowdy carousals. Such actions are a thing of the past
 I Nowadays the baseball player is first of all gentleman. No team will put up with man that drinks ex. cessiveiy. save in rare cases. Now and then there is a man who can spend his evenings in hitting the high spots and then play good baseball the following day. Such men are few and far between. however. Most of those who try it discover that their careers as ball players in big-league company are shortliyed.
 1t is a matter of common sense The ball player knows he cannot dc his best when he is not taking care of himself. If he does not know il the fans and his manager will point fl out to him with unQuestionable force He knows that to hold a job on big league baseball team he must be 1T possession of the ability to use tho best his brain and muscles contain He can have this ability only by ob serving the best rules of life.
 Furthermore. the baseball player fl the last few years has come to realiz, better than ever before that when h, is through with baseball he can ex pect nothing from the public tha once applauded him. nor from tn, manager that once begged for his sig
 nature to a contract. He must talk
 care of himself. and if he has not pre
 vided for the future during his day
 of success and money-making he is fl
 a bad way.
 There are probably no men resei, . ing such high salaries who take sue . good cape of their money and save . . much of it as baseball players. A most any well-known diamond sta r that has played in one of the bi leagues for . number of years hs
