full use of HIS men, no matter what
share he may have had, or may not
have had in their baseball instruction,
accomplished results which were not
anticipated when the season began
1t was their speed which assisted him.
Careful observation of, the work Of the
Boston players in the games of the year
impressed one strongly with higher re-
gard for the frequent demands of base
ball managers for speed The Bostons
aru composed of men who can circle the
bases with celebrity and they are not
afraid TO take chances, the more so that
they have carefully measured the gen
eral ability of majority of the Amer
lean League catchers. The star catchers
OF the organization can be counted
without over exertion.
Harry Lord, third baseman of the
team. a player of steady improvement,
has been appointed captain for the year
to come. Wagner will play shortstop-
Mcconnell second base and Stahl first
base. The infield is not a wonderful
infield If it is to be reckoned upon for
other hand it Is an infield which
accomplishes the unexpected often.
Usually when it does so 1t is at time
in the game when it is especially ad-
vantegeous.
Speaker the Man.
The man who made the Boston team
in 1909 was Speaker, the outfielder-
There stands one of the greatest finds
OF recent baseball in his particular de-
partment of the sport. His addition
alone was worth game after game TO
the Bostons, for 1t almost invariably FOL
lows that when a natural barter Is
gathered TO q team, who is also an ex-
traordinary fielder. that both on inside
play and defence he Will repeatedly
strike a telling blow which shall assist
his fellow players.
Another factor which is greatly to the
advantage of Boston is that two raw
and inexperienced catchers. who were
inclined to be slow and none too &C
curate. either in handling the ball or IN
throwing to bases, have improved so
thoroughly that they are much better
material for the year to come than they
were at the beginning Of the season or
1909.
In the pitchers box Boston must still
experiment. The work of the pitchers,
judged by the past, is only fair. II
may be better this year. since the better
men will be with the team for the full
season instead of only part of it, but
Boston can stand improvement no mat

cago will be well taken care of on that
side OF the diamond, unless Blackburn
fails completely to meet expectations.
The other side OF the infield is guess
work There are two candidates for
first base and three candidates for sec
ond base. The team which may be
chosen to start the season may not last
the first fortnight
In the outfield it is even worse.

outfield which are still in the rough.
And that's about all that one can say
about II.
Changes I'm Highlanders.
New York will be a reconstructed
team. though not to the same extent as
Chicago, for there is a little of the New
York team left. Chase and Gardner on
one side of the inffeld are comrades.
They are fine pair of players Austin
Is likely to make third base again He
is lively, full Of steam and the best
fielder in the position that the New
York team ever had. Foster will prob
ably start the season at short. He is
splendid little ball player. Whether
he may be able TO finish the season so
successfully as he begins is another
matter, for Foster is not a player of
great endurance All in all it looks like
an infield which will balance well with
others in the lea que.
Engle is the only outfielder left from

the greatest outfieider who ever played

(Wooster News)


Robert Fitch, q young Fredericks-
burg man employed at the Fredericks-
burg Pottery Co, was killed Saturday
night, just south of Barberton by c.,
A. & G. train, The accident was wit
nesesd by no one, and the manner OF
mis- death is not known. The body
was badly mangled, the head being
crushed.
Friday afternoon Fitch decided to
go to Barberton to visit with friends.
The force of hands at the pottery had
not been having steady work, and he
knew he would be Idle until onday.
He left Fredericksburg Friday, 60
ing to Barberton. Saturday evening he
intended to come home. At IL o'clock
Saturday night his body was found
along the railroad track, the head be-
ing badly crushed.
There were many stories in circu-
lation at Fredericksburg after the bo-
dy had been brought home Monday
morning. AS he had little money on
his person, the theory that he was
killed and his body thrown upon the
railroad track to hide the crime, seems
to have little foundation.
Whether he was riding freight train
is not known. The body was found
just short distance south of Barber
ton and it is possible that he was
killed while trying to climb upon a
moving train. Fitch, who Is son of
Alex Fitch, has lived in Fredericks-
bur all his life. He was about 30
years old and unmarried.

There are many fields for service
in every department of life. We can
improve the material and physical con
ditions Last winter in Chicago 30,-
600 children attended the public
school from day to day with scarcely
enough food to Keep them from
starving.
Then there is the work of promot-
ing the intellectual welfare in our
schools and colleges. Great credit is
due the school teacher who puts her
soul into her work and comes out at
the close Of the year pale and care
worn. Let us hope the time will come
when our niggardly policy for COM
pensation will be abandoned and the
salary Of teachers will be continued
through the entire year.
Still more important Is the train
ing Of children In the home. We have
schools for the training of artists,
stenographers, scientists and music
ians. Why not for the fitting of moth
erhood? If a mother dies, the state
will provide q place for the children
in an orphan asylum Why not do
more to keep the mother from dying
and restore her to nealth?
And what shall we say of the great
work OF bringing together the home.
less children and the abolishing of
child labor in mines and factories?
oh, that we might hear, as Mrsi
Browning has said, "The cry of the
children" May we do something for
them, like inc brave senator from In
diana who has been striving for sever
al sessions to get bill through con-
gress to free the 100000 children un-
der II years of age that are working
in the mines and factories of Ameri-
ca.
Then there Is the great black
scourge, the social evil, the organized
white slave traffic, with leader call
ed the Big Chief that has its agents
scattered over every section of our
country. 1t is bringing thousands in
to slavery beside which the bond
age of the negroes was glorious free
dom.
In like manner the battle is on all
over our land against the liquor traf-
fic. Between 1t and the church there
can be no compromise. 1t is battle
to the death, one or the other must
go down.
The great Crusade Is on. Godfrey,
Bouilion, Richard Occur de Leon and
Raymond Of Toulouse, have passed
away. No longer does the band Of
the castled Rhine and the storied Dan
ube echo with the hymns and shouts
of the Crusaders. But to us God has
given a far greater mission. Not to
rescue the empty tomb of dead
Christ, but under the leadership of the
living, reigning Son of God, the Prince
Imperial of heaven, to go forth up
on mission of salvation and sacrifice
to needy world"
At the conclusion Of the lecture the
audience assembled in the basement

held short reception, shaking hands
with all present and renewing many
old acquaintances.
