 David Fultz, who played good ball for the Baltimores. Philadelphia Ath- letics, and New York Americans, is doing well at the pra actice of law. Fultz also shines leader of pray CT meetings and is a very popular good word for the national game. In a recent letter Fultz said: Baseball is usually undermined bx those who knew the least of the merits of the great game. It teaches man am ong other things. to. be fair He acquires the habit of sef-controi and the vfr- tue of perseverance. He must not lose his temper; if he does he csnnot be good bail player. He must learn to repress the temptation which often confronts him of doing injury to his opponent: he must accept the 6isci- pline dealt out by umpire and mana ger, and he must keep in mind the rules. If he fails in these require ments he becomes mean and -unmarly. Religion is an aid to good hall playing and good ball playing helps relis ion. ha ma hA Ya1a " hal are good. clean men and gentlemen"
