Baltimore Teams Rally
Surprise to Regulars

With the score 16 to 8 at the end of
the first period, the followers of the
Regular Y. NJ. c. A. basketball team
felt that the game was as good as won.

rally, gained a safe lead, at the same
time holding their opponents safe. The
final score was % to %.
The game was hotly contested, and
each team starred in one half. The
Regulars had the best of it in the first
half. but the work of the Baltimore
five was great in the last interval.
Thornton starred for the local team,
while the playing of Disney was the
feature of the Baltimore team. Line

Wallace has hard job.

It is doubtful if there is anyone better
satisfied with the selection of Bobby
Wallace as manager of the st. Louis
Browns than Jimmy McAleer, head of
the Nationals.
I was discussing the probable st.
Louis leader with McAIeer when the
question was up at the American
League meeting in New York last
month, and he told me that he consid-
cred Wallace one of the brainiest play
ers in all baseball history. He said he
had never seen Wallace make a bone
headed play in the several years they
were associated as Browns
Wallace has a mighty task on his
hands in trying to pull that club out
of the rut, but if he is given proper sup
port he should make good.

League president here.

I saw Charley Carpenter, president OF
the Tri-State League on the Avenue.
He has been in Washington to visit
some relatives. but the uncertainty con-
cerning his circuit forced him to hurry
back to Pennsylvania to investigate the
exact status of some parties that were
ready to back a club in the league.
AS an outlaw organization the Tri-
State paid enormous salaries, and since
coming into the fold it has been neces-
sary to cut down all along the line.
The result has been that the quality OF
baseball has dropped and the fans are
not satisfied with the article they are
receiving.
Carpenter believes, however, that he
will be able to overcome the drawbacks
and that the league wilLShave a pros
porous season next summer.

THE HIGH COST OF SUCCESS.
Does the American Hustler Put too
Much Nervous Energy Into
His Work?

Judging the American hustler
from my own observations of him in
his own country" Joseph Lyons,
painter, novelist, dramatist and one
of the greatest hustlers of England
said: should say that the American
hustler shows a lack of adoption of
means to ends, because he puts more
mental, physical and nervous energy
into his work at all times than it
demands. Regarded as machine,
he is not an economical one. He
breaks down and has to be laid up
for repairs too often. He tries to do
everything too fast.
He ruins his digestion by eating
too fast; he plays havoc with his
nerves by trying to work too fast.
/ hold that man pays much more
for his success than his own sue

Editors Disqualification.

Editor Ram in Manchester Press,
Some editors are altogether too
free in their advice to farmers.
Could anything be more ridiculous
than counsel about testing seed
corn or sowing alfalfa in a pint cup
from a peaked-headed editor who
couldn't tell spinach from dill pick
les unless he saw it on the pastry
course. 1t is no wonder that the
farmer thinks the average editor
does not know enough to
scratch his head where the
last fly bit him. The day
has gone by when busted school
teacher or jackleg lawyer can set
up a hand press and case of long
primer type and tell the farmer
where to head in. The only writer's
who can speak with authority on
farm topics are those sympathetic
souls who have lost their front
teeth by a close and hurried con-
tact with an unruly heifer or who
have ridden a corn planter until
their legs bow out like the rear ex
on a blackboard. You can't float
around town in a fire sale Prince
Albert and sit in a leather chair and
hand the farmer any loose bird
seed about how to run his business.
The man who has MIXED nineteen
cows at a. m, with his fingers
throwing off chilblain faster than
sparks from an emery wheel, OF
who has prepared feed and lodging
for every animal on the place, up
to the tomcat, is the only one the
farmer will listen to without food
ing his windpipe with coarse laugh
ter and fine cut. What our farm
papers need is more practical farm
ers and fewer silk stockings.

Banks and Lost or Destroyed Bills.

Banks and Lost or Destroyed Bills.
Bank bills are merely printed
promises of the bank or government
issuing them, to pay the face value
of the bill or note, on demand, in
coin Of the realm. If a bank, or
bank note as it might we'll be called,
should be destroyed, the holder of
the destroyed bill is the loser, and
the bank the gamer by reason of the
fact that it would be relieved of the
obligation to make good its promise
to pay the face value of note which
no longer exists.

BUILDING UP A TOWN.
Some Pertinent Rules on How to be
Real Genuine
Booster.

S. A. Fishburn, secretary of the
Texas Associated Commercial Clubs
has issued the following rules on
how CD to build up a town.
l.. Join no organization looking to
the upbuilding of your town. This
will prove an encouragement to
those who give their time and money
to sustain such organization.
2. Impune the motives of those
who join and charge them with a
desire to advertise themselves. This
inspires patriotic men to work all
the harder for the public good
3. Pour cold water on every new
home enterprise, predict it's early
failure, and contribute to that end
by patronizing its rivals in other
towns. This will encourage others
to put up their money in home en-
terprises.
A. When committee calls on
you for contribution to any cause,
act like sore headed bear and yield
up what you do give as begrudging-
ly as possible. This lightens the
burden of the committee men and
sends them on their way rejoicing
in their work of love.
8. When strangers visit your
town let them wander around alone
and enlighten themselves by reading
the. signs and pumping the profess
sional loafer. They will carry away
a delightful remembrance of their
visit and advertise the town where
ever they go.
6. 'Cuss out" your public Off
Gals (to their backs of course) and
accuse them of everything from pet
ty larceny to high treason, no mat
ter whether you can substantiate
your charge or not. This will prove
a keen incentive to the complete full
filment of their official obligations.
Z. Whenever your town paper
differs in the slightest with your
ideas of public policy, declare that
it has been bought up and promptly
cut off your patronage. The editor
will turn the other cheek and re-
double his efforts in behalf of the
town and its good people,
s. Oppose any enterprise which
is not in exact accordance with your
own ideas. This will be conductive
to that spirit of concession and unity
which is necessary to progress.
8. Give sparingly, if at all, to
movements for the general good of
the town, even il you are the largest
property owner in it. This will spur
on to greater exertions the public
spirited citizens your town now has
and induce the coming of others.
10. Observe these rules closely
and there can be no doubt about the
growth of your town. 1t will grow
and continue to grow-up in weeds
until it shall ultimately become a
fit habitation alone for bats and
owls.

 Baseball games will be resumed at East Lake park this afternoon. when the COlOred Cubs meet the Fords in a fast. Whirlwind game, played to deter mine the right of the Cubs to exist at all under the name of a baseball club. The game will be fought out be tween the dark and the daylight. and the dark contingent. stung into shame by their recent humiliation on the diamond, have determined to put every ounce of steam into their play ing. What they will accomplish by so doing. remains to be seen.

 Some team in the valley will have to take the lead before long. Which team it will be. is hard to guess at this stage of the game, but let it be said in a whisper. the Fords are there with some baseball ability. and their playing will have to get a little worse than it is at present to keep them from landing the championship.
 The consent of Superintendent Mitchell of the street railways was only given on condition that there be no rowdyism on the grounds hereaf ter. So the friends of the players and the lovers of the game are expected to restrain their enthusiasm this aft ernoon for the sake of the matches to be pulled off during the remain der of the season
