What Constitutes Baseball?

The essential apparatus of baseball
is simple and inexpensive All that is
required is a field, stick, the ball it.
self and police protection for the UNI
pire. One advantage of the game as
played professionally is that those sit
ting in the grand stand can play the
game great deal better than the
eighteen men on the diamond. It is
also true that any one of the specta-
tors. even though perched on a tele-
phone pole across the street or looking
through a knothole in the fence be-
yond right field, can judge Of the pitch
er's skill or the runners feetness
much more intelligently than the ar
bitter who stands behind the battery.
The great merit of the game is that
the people can participate In it. It is
not like bridge whist. It's science Is
not synonymous with silence. The
thing to do is to take off your coat
and root as long and as loudly as you
can, even if you don't know what is
happening. Philadelphia Ledger.

ious mothers placed their very small
children in it. then stood anXiously
watching the youngsters for fear they
would fall out, in spite of the fact
that the wagon was very low and
drawn by little white pony, who
went along in walk. A man walked
beside the wagon. A small boy on the
front seat drove, holding the reins in
slack way and chatting with a small
child by his side.
"How much do you charge them for
a ride?' asked woman on the side
walk.
"One cent" said the man.
"And how far do you go?" she asked
Gust up and down the block" said
the man. afraid ITO go any further

Darinu BETTING,

During the close Of the eighteenth
century the craze for gambling in Eng
ptnu rose TO an extreme At certain
notorious clubs every incident was
made the subject of wager, and thou
SANDS changed hands over the veriest
tribe. A certain Mr.. Blake made him
self notorious by betting f1.5OO that a
man could live twelve hours under
water. He hired daring fellow. and
purchasing an old ship, they were
sunk together by way Of settling the
pct. Neither ship nor man reappeared,
so Mr.. Blake had to pay up. The ia
nous Earl of Carlisle once Staked
to,OOO on single card at faro. On
one occasion at Brooks, another noted
gambling club. Lord Robert Spencer
lost the last shilling Of the fortune
which he had obtained from his broth
er, the Duke of Marlborough, and
General Fitzpatrick was in the same
condition. The twain combined, and
borrowing a sum of money. they open
ed faro bank. They had a run of
luck, and Lord Spencer's share Of the
proceeds came to 100000. He pock-
eted this cash and never gambled
again.-London Taller.
