NO; snodgrass average is 1868 and
Lajoie's .365.'
And as for Mr.. Hightower. he fell
into silence and moved uneasily in
his seat.

consulting his score card.

Toffey. They've taken knapp out

Last season he made an unaSSlSted
triple play. Don't you remember =
"Oh, yes" said Mr.. Hightower,
weakly.
Only once after that did he try his
hand.
THAT wasn't BALI he said. "That
was a strike 1t went over the plate
just even with the batter's chin"
mo; that was a ball., said Miss
Toffey. "A strike has to go between
the batter's shoulders and his knees"
And then Mr.. Hightower subsidized.
Now at his boarding house there
was another girl. and when it came
right down to looks she was not one,
two, three with Miss Toney. Her
name was Miss futile, and so that we
may consider the hypothesis of this
psychological problem we will say that
Miss Tuttle's elbows were pointed
and that her mouth was a generouS
gift of nature. For the rest of it we
will be as generous as nature, and we
will content ourselves with saying that
the girl undoubtedly had a good heart.
The Saturday after he had taken Miss
Toffey to the ball game Mr.. Hightower
met Miss Tuttle at the breakfast table.
ooh, Miss Tuttle,' he said.
Yes, Mr.. Hightower."
Wouldn't you like to go to the ball
game with me this afternoon"
"Oh, I should like to goi'' she cried.
Tive only been once in my life and
I'm just crazy to go again!''
They went early and found good
seats
You are sure you don't know any
thing about the game?" asked Mr..
Hightower, cautiously.

And once as he explained the game

Boys and girls use the grounds Tho
idea is to teach them to be considerate
of each other and fair. Good behavior
and clean language are insisted upon.
The playground takes the children off
the streets and relieves parents of
worry because they know the young
sters are under supervision while at
the grounds. Prizes are offered for
excellence in athletics, and an interest
is taken in what the children are do
ing. This season, for example there
were S19 matched games of baseball
300 basketball games by the boys ana
107 by the girls. In addition 617 boys
were given instructions in swimming.
The attendance for the summer has
been over over 10000. This, we believe
was the third year of the playground.
The New Britain Herald, in telling the
story in detail. says: "The time is
fast coming when the world will not
only recognize the right of the child
to play but win hold She city respon-
sible for seeing that it has a chance
to play. "-Bisto1 Press.

Harry the Archer has done good

SUNDAY WORK
Formally Opposed by Hartford Cen
trial Labor Union.

The following letter was unanimous
ly endorsed last week by the Hart
ford Central Labor union and ordered
transmitted to Mayor f. L. Smith and
the police commissioners, and it has
been sent:
Hartford, Conn, Oct I, 1910.
Hon. Mayor E. l.. Smith and Members
OF the Board of Police Commission
ers of Hartford:
Gentlemen: l am directed by vote
of the Hartford Central Labor union
at the meeting held October :. 1910,
to inquire from all of you gentlemen
why the law of the state relative to
secular labor being performed OH the
Sabbath day is not enforced so rs to
apply to all citizens without diser'm-
iration? Why should one poor indiVid
ual be arraigned in the police court
and fined SIS for working on the san
bath when some manufacturers i'll
Hartford are permitted to operate
their factories on the Sabbath with
dozens Of their employees? Why can
not the police force close up and keep
closed these places on the SABBATH
day? We, as members of organized
Ia Dor. are opposed to Sunday iabor
and we justly complain that the law
is not enforced fairly for the benefit
of all. We are prepared to substan
tate the above statements with facts
if given hearing. Very respectfully,
SOL SONTHEINER,
President Hartford Central Labor
Union.

THE NGREGATIoNALN NATIONAL
COUNCIL.

To the Congrsgationalists all roads
this week lead to Boston, for it is there
that the triennial session of the Con-
gregational National Council is being
held, in which the ablest representa-
tives of the denomination are booked
to discuss the issues of greatest inn
portance TO this large denomination.
Referring to the coming meeting, the
Boston Post says:
Again is Boston the meeting place
of the great triennial session of the
Congregational National Council The
city as always in the history Of these
highly important and sometimes epoch
making conventions, welcomes the
several thousand delegates and others
with cordislity and interest. and with
the addition of the most delig htful
climatic conditions of the year.
I'VE tnay expect from fremont
temple for the next ten days a great
deal of able and eloquent discussion
of questions OF UNCONVENTIONAL and
general interest. The best intellect
of Congrega tionalism, both in America
and in England, will be very fully
represented promising keen, sug-
gestive and entertaining debate.
"As the first enduring homo of
Congregationalism in America Mas
sachusetts greets the members of the
faith with a sincerity from which
sentiment is by no means absent"

does, that man has no soul, if the soul

the worm dieth not and the fire is not

In the above criticism, our mutual
friend speaks of the lake of fire and
birthstone" Well, well! There is no
earthly use for the hand hammered,
infinitesimal soul of the political dele
gate, VINO sells his vote, to wrestle
with that problem, for although he
may be a good winner of Sky line
rates. still his minute soul that would
balance on the point of a cambria
needle would be shunted aside, as an
affection, by the prince of evil" as
too small to waste fuel on, and be con-
signed to "Avernus' proficiency. pro-
duration, political junk piles-subject
undoubtedly to hot" storage charges.

Now, as soon as young Mr.. High
tower settled in his new boarding
house he picked out the prettiest girl
and said:
"Oh, Miss Toffey"
Yes. Mr.. Hightower
was wondering whether you would
like to go to the ball game with me
this afternoon
Why, yes. Mr.. Hightower, I should
ike 1T very much
And so that the matter may be fully
understood. We beg to state that there
We're no errors in Miss Toffey's make
up; her eyes were like diamonds, her
curves broke well, she was always
making hit and one glance from
under her eyelashes was generally suf-
fieient to bring in home run almost
any old time that she cared to exer-
else her optics. For the rest of it,
she had pert little nose, a pert lit
tie mouth and she always had a look
OF disdain near at hand, where she
could lay her hands on it in case of
emergencies. Yes. even such was Miss
ToffeN. whom young Mr.. HightoweI
took to see the ball game.
You see that place in the middls
OF the diamond" he asked, after they
had taken their seats. Well that is
where the pitcher stands"
Miss Toffey looked at the place in
question.
And right over there" said Mr.
Hightower, stands the catcher The
pitcher throws a ball to the catcher
you know, and the batter tries to hit
it. If he hits fair ball he starts run
Bning for first base. In order to make
run he has to touch first second,
third and home
Miss Toffey's bright eyes roved to
the various points indicated.
The umpire stands behind the
catcher" continued Mr.. Hightower,
and passes judgment on the balls,
which the pitcher throws to the catch
er. If the pitcher throws four bad
balls the batter takes his base. If the
pitcher sends over three good balls
and the batter doesn't hit them, he
is out. oh. there is an awful lot to
it, but you'll gradually acquire a work
ing knowledge of the game as it goes
on"
Whereupon Miss Toffey spoke to him
and said:
Il wonder whether Russ Ford is
going to pitch today
"Oh? You knew he pitched for the
Yankees
We'll, guess nearly everybody
knows that
That's right. too Now. here's the
umpire and he's announcing the bat
teries. You can't tell what he says
but you'll soon see their names put
up over there on the fence"
All around them fans were saying:
Who's going to pitch what did he
say" Miss Tofey turned halfway
around and said. Ford is going to
PITCH did you hear the rest of the
batteries?" asked one respectful fan.
Ford and Sweeney; Young and Ad-
ans" reported Miss Toffey The
names were passed around and, in due
course, they were displayed upon the
board even as Miss Toffey had said
Il don't see how on earth you
heard what the umpire said,'' said Mr.
HightoWer.
ooh, I think Silk has got lovely
voice. don't you?''

ooh, yes" And turning to his neigh
Dor on the other side, Mr.. Hightower
said: Silk has got a great voice.

A FAIR THAT is A FAIR.

The Danbury fair has closed with
an admission record of seventy thou
sand, which marks the high tide OF
success at that point, and breaks all
previous records. The Danbury fair
Is one of the few county fairs of New
England which holds it's reputation
for attfactiveness and profitable sup
port. 1t ranks with the Brockton fair
the. reputation of which covers New
England. and both fairs draw patron
age from long distances because of
the live management of everything
connected with these out of door meet
ings.- New attractions are always in
order, and the business is done In
business-like way. No fair can be
better than the average talent in its
employ. and this is why live men with
blood stirring ideas should be in
charge, and why they can make great
successes when elsewhere interest
seems to be dying out and failure is
the regular thing.

THEY FAVOR PROBATIONARY
WORK.

The action Of the International Pris-
on congress at Washington shows that
the representatives of the thirty seven
nations participating are seeing TWEEN
rieth-century light and hailing with
confidence the new methods Of dealing
with crime and criminals. This con-
gress unanimously Endorsed the proba-
ton system for criminals and warmly
recommended its extension by all civ
ilized governments, The congress then
went go far as to vote that new laws
on this subject should everywhere be
introduced and old ones extended, and
that each state or country should es-
taollsh some central state authority
20 exercise general supervision over
the probation work. Finally, the con-
gress voted in favor OF probation off,
GERS in juvenile courts.
This IL = real triumph for better
methods and demonstrates that the
spirit OF man toward the erring is get
ting better and that the view of the
purpose Of prisons is changing faster
than the most sanguine reformer could
have hoped a few years ago. The OBJ
ject Of prisons should be something
besides efiicting punishment upon de-
generates, and the future promises for
them the sympathy and public assist

A SENSIBLE SUGGESTION.

The medical inspection of school
children should be conducted as Sc
crstly and privately as possible. Chill
dren are sensitive. A few days ago
the superintendent Of schools and a
medical inspector walked through a
South HOB o1zs school room: the doc
tor would examine the child's head.
in the presence Of all the other chill
6ren the school authority would read
20 the teacher and she would take
tho nsrn@s Of the unfortunate children
IN the sight OF all.
But ne meaning was known TO the
youngsters and during the recess and
when school was let OUT they shouted
IN defision at those defective children.
By all means Pet these medical in
spsctfons be conducted privately with
due regard for the rights of the chill
dren.=Holsoke Transcript
II is passing strange that in state
like Bas sachusetts a newspaper should
fes1s called upon to plead for the pro-
lection Of afflicted children, as does
The Transcript of Holyoke. There is
sound sense in this call for privacy,
