Fine Moral Discipline Of Great
American Game DWeIt on
by Brooklyn Pastor

(From Today's New York World.)
Pulpit praise in high degree was
given yesterday to the great Ameri-
can game of baseball by the Rev. S.
Edward Young, the militant young
pastor of the Bedford Presbyterian
Church, at Nostrand avenue and
Dean street, Brooklyn. He said that
were ST. Paul alive today he would
surely be fan"
Mr.. Young added that baseball was
a game that spread big moral bene-
fit over the nation, for it taught four
rules capable of most beneficial ap-
Self-discipline.
Team work.
Honor and fair play.
Subjections of the lesser to the
greater.
In his audience were about two
of the Y. NJ. G. A. league and teams
from other religious organizations.
He compared the round of the bases
to the running of life's course; ex-
tolled the nobility of the sacrifice
hit" and dwelt philosophically on the
chance and fate of the slide to
base

day, as in the olden times,> is that

What a quickener of the intellect
our American game is. Do you know
that great mathematician has fig
ured out 7,226,433 possible plays on
baseball diamond? Which one of
them shall the player try. To see
the ball and take in the chances and
catch the signal from the catcher or
pitcher or manager on the bench; to
estimate distances and angles in the
twinkling of an eye; to pack a ball
full of sealed orders as to whether
it is to curve right or left or up or
down or fade away; to- read your
antagonists countenance; to antici-

Stop RoWdylsm
Declares Lynch
National League President
Says Foul Language on
Field Won't Be Tolerated

President Tom Lynch, of the Ma
tional League, gives an mixing or
why the .arbiters in his circuit carry
chips on their shoulders. Lynch is
in the West on q tour of inspection.
He has gumshod in false whiskers
far enough to get a pretty good line
on his officials, and from stray re-
marks dropped in st. Louis yesterday
seems to be pretty well satisfied with
his staff.
II maintain" Mr.. Lynch Is quoted,
that I have as good umpires as can
be found anywhere, and / mean to
back up to the letter whenever they
are right as they usually are. 1 am
not in favor of curbing baseball zeal
too far, for / think that the fans like
to see what you call pepper in the
contests. But a fighting spirit is far
different from rowdyisn, and rowdy-
ism ! will not tolerate.
Il have umpired long enough in
my time to know just what rowdy-
ism means and how it can be carried
on right under the noses Of the spec
tators without them being any the
wiser But foul talk has no place on
the diamond-not even whispered
foul falkland the players or man
ayers who try to get away with it
will find themselves sadly fooled"

A Beautiful Lake.

Perhaps the most striking instance
to be seen in the whole world Of the
wonderful apparent coloring Of bodies
of water is the marvelously beautiful
Blue lake in Switzerland. Encom-
passed on all sides by lofty mountains.
their lower ranges luxuriantly clothed
with verdure down to the edge of the
water and adorned with many fine for
est trees, while their higher activities
are CARRIED in mantle Of eternal snow.
the little lake, nesting in its deep hol-
low basin and protected from winds
and storms. is quite startling In it's
singular and strange beauty. The
water, although really. pure and color
less, appears to be of a most vivid and
intense sky blue. And its transparency
is so remarkable that a small nickel
coin dropped into the water in theY
center Of the lake can be seen gyrst-t
ing downward until 1t reaches the bot
tom, apparently more than hundred
feet beneath.

A Ban on Patterns.

There is one kind OF correspondence
sometimes received by women clerks
that makes heads Of firms hopping
mad" said the pretty stenographer.
'AThat is dress patterns. They don't
mind letters and magazines. but If a
girl wants to keep on good terms with
her employer and maybe keep her JOB
she had better advise pattern compa-
MES to send their communications TO
some other address. / know one en-
pIoyer Of about 100 girls who has put
up notices in the workroom to the eff
feet that no patterns can be received
at that Office. Not many men go that
far, but all hold the same grudge
against patterns A girl who has a
new dress to make up can't help
spreading the pattern out the minute
she gets it. Then every other woman
in the Office becomes interested. Moth
ing is so disorganizing to women
clerks as patterns. Nothing takes up
more time that belongs to the firm.
so you really can't blame the bosses
for putting a ban ON patterns."-New

The animals IN the Zoo.

The animals In the Zoo.
The sleeping hours of the animals at
the geological gardens In Regents
park vary as much, according to the
families to which they belong, as do
their other characteristics and habits.
The orang outang goes TO bed at SUD-
down, draping its head in a blanket
and refusing to see visitors after dusk
It is also an early riser. With the
lions, tigers and other members Of the
cat tribe the night finds them at their
Hveliest, and they sleep most between
she midday meal and supper time. The
eagles go to steep Just about the time
their neighbors In the owl cage are
waking up. while the bears during the
winter months apparently sleep all
day and night too. The residents OF
the monkey house object seriously TO
being disturbed after dark, and If one
OF the keepers happens to take a light
into their quarters they scold him IN
mercifully. On the other hand IL
would probably take dynamite bomb
to arouse the rhinoceros, and 1T IS not
uncommon. the keepers cay. to find
rats biting holes in its thick hide with

BLITHE BITS CONCERNING
TOPICS OF BALL FIELD
Why no League Umpire Showed up 10 Off,
ciate at Steep|eChase Island Yesterday

(By Wagner.)
Bridgeport.
Dixie Walker appears to be a val
liable addition to the pitching staff.
The former Holyoke twirler has won
the only two games in which he has
OBLIGATED for Bridgeport.
That was a slashing drive of Foot
Ruell's in the first. 1t seemed as If
the ball would never stop rolling. The
fans thought Ruell was safe at the
plate, and it looked so from the press
box.
Jimmy Hall was presented with a
travelling bag by the members Of the
speech after Umpire Ivor Swanson
had summoned the blushing Jimmy to
the home plate Joe's speech went
something like this: You're a good
kid, Jimmy, and we all want to see
you get along Take this bag and
cherish it. Use it to carry your
other collar and your base hits
There was no official umpire pres
ent and the mana gers decided to let
Ivor Swanson and Catcher Meegan Of
f1ciate. President Tracy announced
that he had the umpires at his home
in Bristol for a conference, yesterday,
and they all missed their. trains to
make their assignments. Players had
to umpire in Waterbury and New Ha-
ven. too.
Ernie Lush was out Of several games
last week because of injuries. The
local boy has been doing good work
for Lancaster. In one game last week
he made two doubles.
Harvey Russell looked fine behind
the bat yesterday. He showed head
work by taking advantage of George
Bannon's weakness and twice tanning
the veteran In critical situations.
Russell knew Bannon couldn't hit a
fast one inside, and he gave the sign
at the time when a strikeout was a
great help.
'Ill bet you're all glad to see me
today" said Pitcher Tretter as he Wis
tied the Bridgeport bench before the
game. He was thinking of Thurs
days game when the Mechanics wal
loped him for four runs in the ninth.
That bunch of Cubs traded to the
Boston Nationals must be simply mad
with joy.
Keep your lorgenetteS focused on
st. Louis She is now tied with Pitts
burg for fourth place.
Jimmy Sheckard of Chicago made
five runs and yet only figured one
time at that in the Doves trapshoot-
ing match.
The Cubs are breaking in a new
pitcher named Richter who gives as
much promise as Toney.
Evers got back into the game for
one inning, long enough to make an
assist and strike out.
