TROUT FISHING

Dear Aunt Laurie:
One Sunday as I was coming home
| saw a girl coming to meet me.
On nearing her l saw it was my
cousin Bessie, and l ran to meet her.
ooh, Doris!" Bessie exclaimed, what
do you think mother is at Aunt AiiceS
and Aunt Alice, mamma, you and | are
going to start to the woods tomorrow
at o'clock in the morning"
"Oh, Bessie!" 1 exclaimed, ARE we
really going?"
And we both raced to the house, had
our supper and were soon having
pleasant dreams of woodland fairies.
1t seemed to us as though we hadn't
been asleep more than five minutes
when our mothers called us. We
Jumped out of bed, dressed and went
down stairs. Breakfast was ready.
the horses were hitched and we climbed
in and started.
When we reached the woods we ran
about in the fresh air picking flowers.
We soon found a brook in which there
were many trout. We were delighted
and ran to tell our mothers.
Our mothers gave us some pals and
we brought some nice, clear, cool wa
ter. Then Bessie and l gathered up
some sticks and mamma made fire.
When we mad finished our supper
we took some fish lines and went to the
brook to catch some fish for breakfast.
Bessie caught five trout and / caught
seven.
The next morning we got up early
before our mothers and went to the
brook to hunt pretty stones and leaves.
When we reached the camp our
mothers were alarmed, so after that
we never went away without telling
them.

to tell our friends. Your loving niece.

WANDERED OVER MOUNTAIN
IN SEARCH OF THE TRAIL
HONORABLE MENTION


Dear Aunt Laurie:
In the spring of 1909 we started out
on a six months camping trip up into
the big redwoods. We went in wa
gon, and drove from Los Angeles to
a little town called Three Rivers, go
ing through Bakersfield, Visalia and
Lemon Cove From Three Rivers we
went on up to Paradise ranch, where
- we left our horse and wagon, and took
the mountain trails up into the woods
proper.
The first day we did not go very far,
as we did not get into Paradise ranch
till about noon, but the second day
we walked all day. 1T was so beauti-
full I'D there, the snow. glistening I'M
derfoot, and the blue sky overhead,
with the trees towering hundreds Of
feet above us. Coming down we got
lost, and wandered around for about
an hour and half, but finally, as good

luck would have it. we found the trail
and got down safely.
We stayed up these some time, and
when we got ready to some back to
Los Angeles we drove to Portersville,
sold our outfit and came back on the
train. HUGH G.. HAMlLION.

DO AMERICANS REALLY
BASE BALL AS THEY CLAIM?
Sons of Uncle Sam Vociferate Their Loyalty
to the Irrational Game,'' Yet All Other
Pastimes Are Better Practiced and
Supported by Their Devotees.

Unquestionably, the older American is
not rearing the younger American Alright.
AT least not SO far as base ball is con-
cerned. Consequently there is a shortage
of base ball players. The cause OF this
is that the boys are not founded in the
correct ideas and principles OF playing
base ball.
From the beginning the training. or
rather the lack of training. in base ball Is
wrong. The. American boy bats wrongly,
fields wrongly. throws wrongly. AS rule
boys insist upon standing with their toes
upon the plate. The result of this is that
when the ball comes and they have to
take step they must step away from
the plate. This Is a fatal error and
brings about poor batting in later years
No man who steps away from the plate
can be "A great batter. He may shine for
a season. but never for five seasons. Put
this down. No great batter ever stepped
away from the plate.
In almost every case boys will throw
wrongly. The fatal side-arm throw Is the
common one on the lots. Now an over
arm or an under-arm throw ia all right,
but Slde-drm throw, which is the gen.
eral throw or boys. is never permissible
save When the fielder gets the ball In a

side-arm throw. That is WHY thew all

hand thrower like Jimmy Ryan or Dan

Regulation Diamonds Too LARGO.
When it comes to playing positions bovs
are at utter loss. In the first place the
boys under sixteen cannot use a rapula.
ton diamond. The distances betwean
bases are too vast for accurate throuiny
or good running. Few boys under sixteen
can make the throws across the diamond,
or from the plate to second base. Bow
under sixteen cannot play deep in the in
field So they come In on the base lines
This puts the bases back of them. They
stop and third basemen cannot make the
long throws. Yet they can kick bail al
around the lot and yet throw a runner
out at first, for the ninety feet is so far
that a boy takes an hour to reach first

Boy pitchers try to pitch regulation dis

CHECK SENT To ABDUL

III correspondence Of The Star.


COLOGNE October IL 1910
The central executive OF the nterna-
tional Zionist organization. which has
Just met at the headquarters in this city,
has under consideration a note from the
Turkish government in relation To n
check sent the latter more than two
years ago,
The check had been forwarded to the
late Sultan Abdul Hamid a donation
to the fund for the HediaZ railway. IN
June. 1905. His government replied that
as the railway was a religious undertake
ing. contributions could only be received
from Mohammedans. 1t inquired whether
the money could he used for any other
purpose.
The Zionist executive acquiesced in the
check being used Abdul Hand

revolution meanwhile broke out.

it ON account of it's being out Of date
The Turkish government therefore COM
municated this fact through its ambassa-
dor in Berlin TO the Zionist executive.
The latter has declared itself willing TO
send another check for 500 in place OF
the old one as a donation To the Hedjaz
railway fund if this should be agreeable
to the Turkish authorities.

ball which comes on q horizontal plane
is mucn easier to hit than this throw.
The latter comes so slowly that. the boys
at bat have time to take the bat by the
extremity of the handle and have long
sweeping swipe at it. The boy catcher
cannot make the throws to second. hence
stealing bases is Il mere matter Of pa
rading. Boys on first always run OH the
first bail pitched the next batter. The
throw is usually mile high and comes
to the baSenan on the bound.
Using the regulation balls the outtield-
ers on boy teams have nothing TO do. The
little batters cannot hit the big ball out
of the infield. Runs are always made on
errors and stolen bases.
Grounds Of private base ball clubs are
always poor. American boys never think
of organizing base ball club. fixing
grounds. preparing diamond. etc, as
they do for I: tennis club. Boys who or
gaIiZe tennis club will either keep the
court carefully themselves or have it kept
by Il paid emplOye. Base ball diamonds,
save in parks where admission is charged.
are never kept. Boys never think of hoe
ing raking or leveling diamond. They
will play on dump. on piece Of
plowed ground. in the long grass or
rough clay with tin for a plate and
rocks for bases. 4 piece of wood mades
very good plate. -four sacks filled with
sawdust excellent bases. But you never
sec young Americans take so much trou-
BILE TO play base ball. A rock of varia BILE
size for a plate and more rocks for
bases, field rough as plowed ground is
good enough for them at their national
game
Yet tennis players, golfers. hand ball
PLAYERS. bowlers. all demand perfect tools
The base ball player is crude and care
less
You can't get American boys of the
civ to smooth. lay out and NOV and
keen a diamond in condition. They sim
PLY will not do it. They will toss the
ball hit, take bad bounds. make bad
plays and kick at the umpire all day
but they will not do an hours work TO
smooth a diamond to clay il out or to
make It suitable for good play.
4 boy will miss half dozen easy
grounders simply because he has bad
ground and in which he. has no conf
dence. and will then kick at the umpire
over a debatable ball or strike. Fifteen
minutes work would have put the dia-
mOnd in such condition that the boy
would have got all the balls he missed
and would have saved his side more runs
than the decision Of the umpire could
give il.
You can put it down that the American
boy begins base ball ell wrong and keeps
it I'D all wrong until such a time as he
gets place to play with some good anna
