rip FROM FAN is VALUABLE
Instances Are Many in Which Star
Aeeds Suggestions From Bleach
erite-EWing Took One.

Almost every ball player, in either
the major or the minor leagues, is
able to tell of some occasion when his
immediate action was Influenced by
some suggestion from the fans before
whom he was playing at the time.
Ordinarily the players have sort of
contempt for the people In the stands,
but once in a long while the latter
come across for a great measure of
appreciation.
One of the most illuminating illus
trations of the susceptibility of the
player to the people sitting behind
him was afforded one day when, in a
close game, Buck" Ewing, the great
est catcher Of all history, was try
ing to hold runner on second. There
was also a runner on first and hard
hitter-Jake Stencil by name-was at
bat.
After Ewing had thrown the ball
down to second three or four times a
fan up Is the stands yelled to him:
why don't you get that man at first
he's half way down to second all
the time?''
Ewing took the tip. Making bluff
to heave the ball to second, he sud
denly turned and hurled it to first,
getting the runner there by three or
four yards.
A tip from the fans is worth two

the umpire declared the man on first

GIVING THE BOY HIS CHANCE
Farmer Should Seek to Discover What
His Sons Tastes Run to and
Give Him Fair Show
lBy E. RussELL.l


There Is one particular point In
which the average farmer is contemp-
tibly mean with his boy He sets
himself up as a. standard II he didn't
want so and SO why should his boy?
II he had to turn out of bed at four
o'clock a. m. and work until dark why
should his boy be spared? He did
not have a decent suit or fine boots
or any spending money, why should
his offspring go into such extrava-
gance?
The farmer who reasons that way
has selfish motive under it, He
knows as well as other people that
the boys Of today cannot be and are
not treated like the boys of fifty years
ago.
He will admit that his father wore
a hickory shirt without collar to meet
ing, while he must have white one
well starched and adorned with collar
and necktie, but he won't admit his
son has any right to improve on him.
If boy feels enthusiastic to learn
to be printer, harness maker, or
wood engraver no father with any
sense will command the boy to learn
the trade of stone mason.
Why then should a farmer decide
that his son who has exhibited taste
for mechanics, spoil his whole life by
ordering him to stick to the farm?
II boy who wanted to learn the
s, *
be a harness maker and thereby be-
come a botch workman, why should
not farmers son who ought to be an
architect, make a poor farmer?
He certainly Will, figure it as you
may. Let the farmer seek to dis
cover what his sons taste runs to. If
to agriculture, he should be given a
fair show. He should have the best
of agricultural papers and every
chance to improve the system his
father has worked under.
Some OF the land and the live stock
should be his and he should be to a
certain extent a partner. No man
will dig and delve for you without pay
as an incentive
A boy who is expected to put in his
best efforts on the farm because the
law says his father is entitled to his
services will certainly disappoint YOU
If his taste runs to trade or pro-
fession the father must argue the mat
ter as reasonable man would. He
has no right to cucumber the earth
with another botch farmer. He has
no right to condemn his son to pow
erty when he might be rich by his own
exertion. If he is wise he will even
encourage the boy to follow out the
bent of his inclinations.
Nine times out Of ten where you
hear of a farmer boy being set down
as "a hard case" you will find his
father to blame for it.
He has been too harsh and arbit-
rary. He has gone on the idea that his
son was drudge. His idea has been
to make money out of his tired mus
cles and back aches. and give him
the least possible reward.
All farmers are not SO, but too
many still are, no matter how much
other classes have improved. The re-
suits have been and will ever be dis
astrous.
