SPEED IN BASEBALL.
What an infield Double Play Means In
Time and Action.

What an lnfield Double Play Means IN
Time and Action.
In an article on baseball In Every
body's Magazine the writer shows the
wonderful speed that is used In making
some of the plays. He says:
Making first base. though more ORA
matte to watch, is an uneventful ex-
petition compared with the trip to Sec
ond. 1t takes a fast man to negotiate
the Journey in 3 3-5 seconds. No thrown
ball goes over 300 feet, and IL a batted
ball travels beyond the safe limits OF
single throw 1t must be relayed by the
f1elders. While you are watching the
outfielder scamper after the ball the
relay line is being swiftly formed In
the infield. There could be no such
quick and accurate fielding of deep
outfield hits If the outflelder taking the
ball did not know that behind him was
ranged his line Of relays ready to take
the ball the instant he could turn and
throw 1t. The relay line In profes-
sional team forms almost automatical-
ly.
To make a double play in the infield
the shortstop, for example, must field
a ball that has been batted about 136
feet. He passes the ball from ten to
twenty-five feet to the second base
man, who must then throw 1t ninety
feet to first. All this while the batter
Is running ninety feet, a trick that, as
we have seen, 1t takes snappy run
ner to turn In 3 3-5 seconds. It's a
close call and case Of utilizing the
fraction of second. but with sharp
fielding the margin is all on the side
of the fielders. The double play Is the
menace ever threatening the runner on
first.

Portable Shops on Wheels a Curious
Feature of Cuban Life.

SAtuFe OF SupdH EH0.
Among the many interesting things
to attract the attention of the tourist
IN Cuba are the travelling stores. con-
sisting of all sorts of queer vehicles
which traverse the city and rural dis
tricts.
These portable shops are constructed
in an ingenious manner 80 as to dis
play their wares to the best advantage.
Every article used in household and
wearing apparel of all kinds are on
sale, and the owner of the wagon,
which resembles department store,
boasts that he can supply dry goods
and notions of all kinds, from paper
of needles to a ready made gown. The
sides of shop on wheels are made
of glass and so arranged as to give
them the appearance Of shop window.
Perfumery Is one Of the leading ar
ticles sold in this way. for, however
poor the natives may be. they always
have money enough to purchase CO.
lognes and generally the most expen-
slye varieties.
During carnival season a plentiful
supply OF masks, caps and grotesque
suits Is added to the stock. Men with
pushcarts laden with linens and laces
or cooking utensils go about the streets
of Havana, Offering their goods to the
women who cautiously peer out from
behind barred windows. These carts
have the appearance of street organ
and are pushed among the splendid
smooth avenues of the city with ease
Often men will carry their stock, dis
playing 1t on a pole to which cross
wise sticks have been fastened. like
the old fashioned clotheshorse. Toy,
also form part OF the stock of these
human delivery wagons. Leslie's

one. We remember reading not long
since in the Scientific American, and
other papers, that it was generally
believed that the wild pigeon was ex-

pigeons in the United States from
the best information obtainable. Our
friend, John Strope of Stevens Point,
has recently seen a flock Of one hun

east side. 1t remained in the Libra
ry building about two years and then
moved into the J. d. Smith building
on Second street north. In June 1911
the college moved into the Nash build
ing on Grand avenue where it is now
located The college is equipped in
the most up-to-date manner. A Iarge
light and airy room is used for study
ing The Principals office and the
class and recitation room are located
at the north end of the building There
are two large cloak rooms opening off
Of the main room and a toilet room
just outside the entrance. Four of
the latest model Remington typewrit-
ers with tables and special chairs
have been added to the already large
equipment within the last few days.
Commercial subjects are taught in a
thorough manner, each pupil receives
individual instruction. Actual busi-
ness transactions with college curren
cy are carried on so that the pupil
does not only get a theoretical edu-
cation but a practical one as well.

and women in business matters. It
will pay any parent well to make this
modern school a visit and see how
thoroughly and completely the educa-

Grand Rapids appreciate the work
done in this Business College and the
high standard of efficiency attained

by the fact that a larger number of
the graduates of this business col

with the local merchants and busi-

A general education is desirable,
a polite education is a luxury, but a
practical, every day business educa-
tiOn is a necessity in these days,
when business principals are supreme

wants done, IS an education that pays

GRAND RAPIDS Sc
CURES CONVENTION
Congregational State COnven-
tiOn to Meet in This City
Next Year.

Rev. Fred Staff, pastor of the Con
! gregational church in this city. who
acted as president of the Conven
ton, is quoted BY the Fond du Lac
Commonwealth as having delivered
the following address on the open.
ing day Of the convention:
Mr.. Staff spoke in part as follows:
1T was not Columbus who gave to
the new world its greatest lesson,
On! sail on! as Joachim Miller says.
That lesson was given by God him
self, fused into the primary instincts
Of the races that form the vanguard
of civilization. We must go on and
on It may be, however, that we are
going faster than necessary just now,
and it may be that the direction in
which we are going leads towards
danger. In politics, the radical ideas
of yesterday are the conservative
ideas Of today. In theology the her
etics Of twenty-five years ago are the
old fogies' of the present. In econo-
mics the same rapid change in popu-
lar opinion may be seen.
cit is the business of the church to
stand for progress, but also for san
ity. A reformer mad with reform is
just as dangerous as any other mad
man. We cannot go back to Jeffer-
sonian Democracy more easily than
an eagle can return to the shell out
of which it was hatched. We cannot
return to free competition in COM
merce and industry even with Presi-
dent Taft and the Supreme Court of
the United States to help us.
''We cannot return to our fathers
faith in verbal inspiration, substitu-
tionary atonement and eternal dam
nation. We must work our way
through the better conceptions.
Church work is more difficult now
than it was generations ago. Today
the church comes into competition
with, not only the world, the flesh
and the DEVIL but also the interur-
ban railways, the automobiles and tbs
electric theatres. Yet this is not
time for churches or ministers to
quit; nor is it time for fIattery and
coddling. Men who feel like apologize
ing for being in the ministry should
get out. The church has many faults;
yet the minister who seeks notorfety
by preaching on. Christianity versus
the Churea,' is simply exercising

GOOD FISHERMAN

A party consisting Of Messrs. ].
J. Looze, L. Fournier, and Grant

noon at Port Edwards, just below

successful in catching pike. Mr..
Fournier was successful in catching
large pike and he had a half an
hours pleasure trying 10 land it.
When the fish was within a few feet
of shore he made a sudden lurch, bit
the line off just above the spoon
hook, when Mr. Fournier discover
ed it In preference to losing the
fish he jumped into the water up to
his waist, grabbed the fish and threw
him out on shore Those are the ear
marks of a good fisherman.

500 To BUILD
THE VALLEY LINE
Party of Engineer Scouts Look
Over Stevens Point-Wausau
Route.

The rumors that the 500 line was
contemplating building a line through
the Wisconsin valley have had con
firmation. A few days ago a party
of three engineers made a trip of
inspection between this city and Ste
vens Point. The route taken was a
straight one, passing to the east OF
MOsinee about four miles By this
route the distance between the cities
is only thirty miles, and for the
greater part of the distance the con
struction would not be expensive.
There were three engineers in the
party. They refused to make any
statement as to the work they were
engaged in, protesting ignorance
when questions were asked, but a
MOsinee man was personally ac-
quainted with one of them and
knows what work he has been en-
gagged in for the company. There is
no doubt but that it was a scouting
party sent out to look over the
route.-Wausau Daily Record-Herald.

HIGH WATER
At PORTAGE

The Portage Register in it's last
issue says the water was higher there
in 1911 than any time before in its
history as follows:
'EAll high water records Of river
are exceeded. Stage of 13.1 feet is
recorded Wednesday night by the
Government guage. Arduous work
prevents disaster. Men toll all night
in endeavor to save dikes-river is
highest ever known in history-will
leVees stand?"
This extremely high water there
is probably largely due to the high
water from the Fox and other
streams.
