Batting Practice.

Hugh 8. Fullerton, writing on the
subject of Batting" in the American
Magazine, says:
"As in everything else, practice
makes toward perfection, and batting
practice now is INDUCED in by profess
sional players to an extent not even
imagined by the followers of the game.
Major league players frequently spend
five hours day batting and will re-
main and hit as long as they can
and any one to pitch for them. Almost
every club retains some broken down
pitcher or some aspiring youngster on
salary to pitch to the batters, who pay
him by contributions to pitch to them.
And, strangely they love their solid
hits, even in practice. After the final
game of the series for the Chicago
championship, last fall, after playing
about 175 games, Frank Shuttle stopped
to hit 1t just once more"

Apropos of Hall Gaines recent law
suit a New York playwright said:
Hall Game is always talking about

The last time saw Hall Game was in
his bedroom in the Hotel Walton, in
Philadelphia. The little thin man, with
his domelike forehead and weak,
wlspy brown whiskers, looked more
like Shakespeare than ever.

III ABBOTT LIBRARY NOTES.
Through the munifcence of sew
eral friends, we have recently been
able to give to patrons visiting US,
and also to send out from the library,
a series Of blotters and leaflets, bear
ing on educational lines both humane
and civic. 4
We give below, extracts from a
few of the letters lately received.
President John M. Thomas Of
Middlebury college writes:
Il thank you very much indeed
for remembering me with the good
literature issued so attractively by
the Abbott Memorial Library. 1t
was very happy thought of yours
to send out these little sermons in a
form so effective and l ann sure they
will accomplish good.
Wishing you success in your good
work,
Faithfully Yours.
John M. Thomas,
From Mrs. w. P. Smith, st.
Johnsbury, member of the State
Board Of Library Commissioners:
: MANY thanks for the blotters 1t
lis such good way to get the truth
before people"
From Frances Hobert, Cambridge:
"Your blotters are as good as the
Bible, They amaze me with good
ness"
From Fanny b. Fletcher, Proctors-
Vile: e 'aa
II will do all / can to carry on the
interest in the material you have sent
me--will talk it, and will print it.
wish others sent the commission
their ideas the way you do. You
can't know how much it helps u.s."
John Cotton Dana, Newark, N. j.,
writes: fsgs
"Pomfret is evidently right to the
front" a.
We had been wishing for long,
long time that some one would give
us a good old snuffbox for the relic
room and finally it came, and now
Mrs Samuel Paul has given us
another. This one belonged to her
husbands mother, Mrs. Mary
Thompson Paul, and is very, very
old. These snuff boxes, coming tc
us from the far away past, still retain
the fragrance of years gone by, and
in Imagination we feel refreshed as
did their worthy owners in the gooc
old times
Now add to that these letters thai
are coming to us about the leaflets
and blotters and we have veritable
tonic that Is bracing lis up for the
duties that time will surely unfold
to as.
