Miss Smith Speaks.

Miss Ellen Garfield Smith, librarian,
was second speaker and read a paper
on the Educational Work of the LII
brary;' Miss Smith said that When
the people of Walla Walla wanted
good book of fiction they thought the
library was the place for it and that
was about all it was for She said the
library was lacking in books on nom
fiction, dealing with the sciences and
history especially. The childrens de-
partment has a good basis to begin
work but there are so many things
needed that she can not tell OF what
they have. Fiction books are all out OF
proportion to the non-fiction. The stu
dents of the city need more reference
and research books, but none have been
bought. Miss Smith also said that the
library had been looked upon too much
as a place to go for some story book
and not place to 30 for knowledge

CHANCE READY
FOR BIG SERIES

CHICAGO. Aug. 25.-Manager
Chance of the Cubs, Is preparing his
team for the championship battles.
He is changing the style OF play, and
It has been noticeable in the past two
days that the batters are hitting the
ball out and not laying down the
short hits and sacrifice hunts as or
old. OF course, Chance will not say
that he has a cinch on the pennant,
but he Is a fighter, and, above all,
a long-headed manager. so he Is plan
ming just as though the pennant was
already won.
At first the fans thought the hit
ting-out plan had been adopted be.
cause so many of the veterans. used
TO playing the inside game, are on the
crippled list, but a careful study
shows but one thing-Chance is get
ting ready TO play the Philadelphia
White Elephants. Connie Mack has
n fast aggregation of fast inside play
ers. and "Husk" is not going to give
them a chance TO work. He Viii keep
the ball out in the meadow. Besides,
he knows that Connie is trying to
fathom a way to check the inside play
of the Cubs. The change is pleasing
10 the fans. for they like 10 see the
ball sailing out where two or three
may be counted.

Ed Walsh, who has been twirling
such wonderful ball for the Chicago
White Sox lately. attributes his sue
cess as a baseball pitcher TO the
clever coaching OF Charlie Comiskey.
the Cid Roman. And this is the way
he tells the story:

down or 10 one side, and they say
that when Walsh has his spitball

impossible TO hit, so quick and sharp
was its break.
When Walsh throws this spitball
he simply vets the first and second
fingers OF his right hand and then
rubs them on the little coverlike area
OF the ball cover within the curve

COLLEGE WAYS ARE QUEER
DEALING WITH ATHLETES

among his fellow students and the
outside world.
A few years ago, in one OF the
Eastern colleges a young man was
playing summer ball. A photograph
of the team published was the means
of getting him into serious trouble.
He explained his case as follows:
Il have to pay all my expenses
through college and support my
mother and sister II | did not play
summer ball could not AFFORD to
get an education"
He frankly admitted his ballplay-
ing, but, according TO the collegiate
laws, he was compelled TO sacrifice
his amateur standing and was barred
from representative his college team
on the diamond A point should be
stretched in such instances. II stu
dent has money and INDUCES in this
breach of rules II would be policy
to take away his amateur standing;
but distinction should be made be-
tween these two classes.
The college authority will say:
How can We make a distinction? II
we allow few fellows TO play sum
mer ball we will have to make it
general"
The authorities know the different
students working their way through
college. Is II more advisable to keep
a young man from getting an educa-
ton simply because he can earn
some much-needed money by playing
summer ball. and by barring him en-
tirely from college athletics. than to
materially assist financially the foot
ball player and allow the latter to
keep his amateur standing?
How many college men play sum-
mer ball every year under assumed
names? Many OF the smaller league
teams are composed OF collegians.
The majority Of these men play sim
ply because their circumstances COM
pei them 70. Would IL not be more ad-
visable TO allow them the privilege
than TO have them do it in a neces-
sarily deceitful manner?
