SHRUBB REMAINS
15-M|LE CHAMPION
EngIishman CIeverIy Defeats
st. Yves by | 3-4
Laps.

NEW YORK. April 24.-Alfred Shrubb
of Horsham, England. once more proved
himself the greatest middle distance run
ner in the business by defeating Henri
St. Yves of France at the American
League grounds tonight. At no time was
the result of the race in doubt. Shrubb
at the outset assumed a pace that the
Frenchman could not follow with his pit
a-pat stride. When eight miles had been
covered he had secured a lead of two
laps and this seemed to content him, for
he ran the remainder Of the race at St.
Yves side. During the last two miles of
the race st. Yves made frantic efforts to
catch his rival. but to no avail
Shrubb's time for the race, one hour
twenty-six minutes and twelve seconds,
was over four minutes behind the pro-
fessiOnal record and nearly six minutes
behind the amateur mark. This slow
time was due to the fact that the French
man could not make him do his best dur
ing the last half OF the race.
The night was cold and windy and tais
probably affected the runners as well as
the attendance.
st. Yves was the first of the stars to
appear on the track, but he preceded
Shrubb by only a moment, the latter
sprinting by the Frenchman and reaching
the runners a noisy welcome. Prelimi-
narfes were quickly arranged, a pistol
shot rang out and the men were OF with
burst Of speed at 9:02 pm.
Shrubb started with his usual graceful
stride while st. Yves went Off at the short
patter which served him SO well in the
Marathon derby. In the first lap Shrubb
opened up a lead Of about twenty yards
and increased this gradually as the race
progressed.

and do his best to put" the ball in
safe place. Sixth, he knows that
strict and impartial record is being
kept and that every error counts
against him while every good play
adds to his renown. Seventh, he must
learn to endure defeat without losing
heart and to bear victory without
Loastlng or putting ON airs. Eighth,
he must learn self control to such
an extent that in the most trying
crisis of the game amidst the widest
uproas he can be perfectly calm,
clear-headed and efficient. Ninth, he
must sink himself in the game. He
is not an individual seeking personal
ren,wn but a part of the team whose
success is his glory. Tenth, 1t goes
without saying that he must know
the game thoroly, must play accord
ing to the rules and abide by the de-
cision of the umpire. The rules
governing baseball are as intricate
and far more changeable than the
rules of arithmetic but no boy needs
to be given them as a task. He
will pore over them until they are
mastered and watch their practical
working with the keenest zest.
These are not all but they are
sufficient to show the kind of train
ing a boy receives on the baseball
field and no one can deny that the
qualities there acquired will be service
able in after life. All this, too, is
in addition to the physical develop
ment, the health giving exercise,
the working together of eye and hand.
of mind and muscles. Such training
is the necessary supplement of books
and Rotations. 1t does what the
schoolrooms cannot do. The school
room boy is sissy" the playground
boy is "hero." A proper mixture of
both make the ideal man."

that II the ground puts its strength

PHYSICAL TRAINING.
Moreover the successful ball play
err must keep himself physically fit"
If he is a member of college team
he is under the strictest orders Of
the captain. and must obey rules.
He must retire early, avoid tobacco,
and intoxicants, must eat at the
trainers table on which is good sub
stantial fare, but no delicacies, even
tea and coffee being under the ban,
must battle regularly, rise early
take exercise before breakfasting. and
mics no appointed hours of practice.
All this and more is required in, pre-
paration for a match game.
A LIST OF ESSENTIALS.
Let us observe now how the play
err is trained to the highest degree
attainable in the essential qualities
of the game and see If these quail
ties are not the same as those re-
quired for success in any avocation in
life. First the captain of the team
makes his appointments for practice
and requires regularity and prompt
ness of every member. Second, strict
and instant obedience must be render
ed no less than in military training.
Third, sharp and constant attention
is absolutely required and the player
must be "on his nerve" or suffer
sharp rebuke, which by the way he
must take cheerfully without answer
ing back. The captain is boss. Fourth
he must learn TO work with his fellow
players as much depends upon team
work" 1t is his duty to back up
those who play next to him and
to be ready to lend assistance at any
point at any time. Fifth, he dare

There are two great principles which
govern a man at his work. The first
is the desire to do as little work as
possible for a given result, and the
second is to put off as long as posi-
BILE any unpleasant job. These two
principles work well for most things,
but If the second one gets a start
of the first it will make lot of
trouble.
And that second principle has got a
mighty good start now over the first
in the minds of lot of farmers.
They are putting off work which
would be a great deal easier done
now than later. They are not keep
ing the weeds down.
Every man knows that next years
weeds are just about ready to sow
themselves now. The weed seeds
are nearly ripe and in a few days
each breeze win be scattering them
broadcast over every farm, where
they will get a good start this fall
and be ready to make a tremendous
lot of trouble next spring. Every
body worked hard in the spring and
kept the weeds down, but now the
crops are laid by. But the weeds
are not laying by, not so you could
notice it, and in some fields it is
question whether the farmer is
raising moro weeds or more corn.
There will be mighty little question
next year-those weeds will all SOW
themselves. and there will be a hard

and poor chance for any crop.
Now is the time when next years
weeds can be killed easiest. One weed
has hundreds or thousands of seeds,
and killing it off before the seeds
get ripe. or cutting it and burning
it, will prevent all those seeds from
growing. Enough weeds can grow in
the fence corners of any field, to SOW
that field to weeds next year. And
almost all fields have got the seed
weeds in the fence corners. The farm
eTs could cut them out in a couple
of days, and he is not working much
now, but he will leave them, and
It viii make him three or four times
as much work next year. Now is
the time to go to work.
Another mighty good thing to do
is to pillow the field as soon as the
crop is off from 1t. The young
weeds, that are just starting, If turn
ed under, will die. and a little work
in the fall will save a lot in the
spring. What is more, there is plenty
Of time this fall, and time will be
very scarce when planting time
comes around.
Keep in mind all the time the
principle of doing as little work as
possible, and you will get ahead fast.
You will keep your seed weeds from

the young weeds from growing, and
you will do those things at the time
when A is easiest. The result will

MRS. ELIZABETH DANIEL
A Friend Writes of the Life of This
Good Woman.

OOOU W OIIlilIis
Mrs. Elizabeth Daniel was born
in South Carolina, and was the
daughter of John and Christina Haut-
man. Her parents moved to Georgia
when she was seven years old, and
settled in Crawford county, where
she was reared and married to Abel
/ Daniel.
Grandma" as she was usually
called, joined the Primitive Baptist
church at Salem, Crawford county,
, Georgia, and was baptized by Elder
Barker about 70 years ago. She
moved with her husband to Web
! ster county in 1914, and was among
/ the pioneer settlers Of this section.
| Her membership was placed with
| Turkey Greek church, above ParrOtt,
| Ga, at the organization of this
| church, where it remained until her
! death. She was the mother of one
child, Mrs. p. l.. York, though she
| was the step-mOther of several boys,
who were among our best citizens
and whose moral lives were largely
shaped by her kindness and chris
tIan character as a mother in the
home, her example always being for
the good and upbuilding of those
with whom she was surrounded.
Only those who were brought in
personal acquaintance with her could
understand or know her real value
to society and the cause of Christ.
Had Mrs. Daniel lived until Au-
gust 31st she would have been 49,.
years old. She was very feeble the
last few years Of her life, but indus
triOus, and her mind was better sat
isfied when she had endowment
Being feeble she was deprived of
going to church much for several
years, but her mind was always
bright in talking of the goodness and
work of God. When at church, under
the preaching of the gospel, her face
often showed the emotion of the
heart by the earnest and cheerful
look, with tears tracing her cheeks.
But her face will be seen no more at
church to strengthen and help a ser
want of Christ, nor her voice or pres
ence will not be any more in the
home, where she will be so much
missed and where there are so MANY
