Combination Plays.

The plays in which quick thinking
counts most, and is absolutely neces-
sary if the club is to win, are the com
bination plays in which the success
of the man who is executing the me-
chanical part of the work depends
largely upon what is done by n or
more of the other players.
There are hundreds of plays exc
cuted every week during the season
by the major league players in which
perhaps only one man touches the ball
and yet in which the others may have
some part. If the assistants in such
a play fail, either by action or by neg
lect, to act or move, they may give
the opponent a clue as to what is to
be attempted and enable them to foil
the attack or turn it against the at
tackers. If each man does his al
lotted part, and then the play fails,
the one who handles the ball receives
the censure, as he would have received
the praise had it succeeded.
The story of combination plays is
best illustrated by the ones that went
wrong. The necessity of keeping
thinking all the time, not only of what
is being done, but of what possibly
may be done, is illustrated by a play
that cost the Chicago Cubs a game at
st. Louis in 1908. In that play half
the men on the two teams. and the
umpire himself, were caught mapping.
If there had been two umpires instead
of one on the field that day, Chicago
probably would have won the game
and ultimately the p%ennant, without
the bitter struggle they had to do it.
Runners were on first and third
bases, one out and st. Louis needed a
run to win, it being in the ninth in
ming. Chance called the inf1eld close
tn order to cut Hoelskoetter of from
the plate. Billy Gilbert, who was the
runner on first base, is a quick thinker
and one who is likely to do unexpected
and unusual things in a ball game.
Fromme, the batter, hit sharply to
Evers who scooped the ball on the
first bound, and made a motion as If
to hurl it to the plate. The play was
made so rapidly H~oelskoetter turned
tail and slid back to third base, seeing
it was impossible for him to reach the
plate. Evers, realizing instantly that
a double play and the end of the in.
ming vas possible, leaped backward.

Coupon Cuttino.

In these observation-disclosures days the
principal occupation of those on
whose hands time otherwise hangs
heavy is the clipping of coupons. A
tlme-honored adage for this game is
nrst get your securities and then pro-
ceed to prune them. The first part
OF the process is Of varied nature.
Some inherit securities, others coin
securities out of the profits of indus
try, while still others have securities
thrust on them. If one does not be-
long to either of these classes he can
at least read of the mulcting of the
holders of securities by one and an.
other legal process and give thanks
that ne does not have to make forced
contributions of this nature. If one
mas the securities, he needs only a
pair OF shears and the fortitude to
enact the drama that brings his secur-
ltles over close to the point of matur-
1ty. At this time of the year invest
ments look up, for the semi-annual
dividends call for further investment,
and, perhaps, the acquisition of more
securltles.-Baltimor American

ship Is by No Means What Il
Should Be.

In 1906 there were, according to the
census, 1859 Jewish congregations in
this country. Each of these may be
said to have an average membership
OF 45O persons, according to the bull
letln. In other words, less than $780,
600 Jewish men, women and children
were connected with Jewish congrega-
tions.
But in 1906 1t may be conservative
ly estimated that there were certain
ly no less than 100000 Jews in this
country, and that more probably there
were 100000.
What religious connections had
these hundreds of thousands of Jews
who were connected with no congrega-
ton? 1t would appear that one-half,
II not more, Of the Jews of this coun-
try have been lost hold of by the syna.
gogue.
Now, the figures may not be so
large as these indicate. There are
more than 1859 Jewish congregations,
but there are very few more apparent
ly. A great many orthodox also wor-
ship in the chevras, and these evade
the observation of the statistical in
qulrer. Nevertheless these figures in
dlcate fairly that the synagogue is

Miss Patricia Holbrook and Miss Helen
HolOrook, her niece, were entrusted to
the care of Laurance Donovan, a writer.
summering near Port Annandale. Miss

a bank failure had constantly threatened
her. Donovan discovered and captured
an intruder, who proved to be Reginald
Gillespie, suitor for the hand of Helen.
Donovan saw Miss Holbrook and her IA
ther meet on friendly terms. Donovan
fought an Italian assassin. He met the
man he supposed was Holbrook. but who
said he was Hartridge. canoemaker.
Miss Pat announced her intention Of
fighting Henry Holbrook and not seeking
another hiding place. Donovan met Helen
in garden at night. Duplicity Of Helen
was confessed by the young lady. At
night, disguised as a nun. Helen stole

Who Are the Elect?

Two modern statements of the doc.
trine of election" neither of which
would quite satisfy John Calvin or
Jonathan Edwards, are given in the
Congregationalist.
One was Henry Ward Beecher's cpl.
grammatic and convincing phrase:
The elect are whosoever will; the
non-elect are whosoever won't"
Good as this is, there is another ex.
planation that is a star of equal mag.
nitude. 1t was made by a colored d.
vine, who said:
Brethren, it is this way. The Lord,
he is always voting for man; and the
devil, he is always voting against him.
Then the man himself votes, and that
breaks the tie."
