FICTION.
HERO MAKES A BASE KNOCK
Uncle Ben ShIbe Tells Good Story on
Himself---When Dad Clarke Was
Lost-Jim DeIehanty's
Batting Streak.
Ry HUGH s. FULLERTON.

Baseball is the great American game.
Which statement is bromidian enough
for anyone. used to think that every
one knew the basic rules and princl.
pies OF the game-but no longer. I've
been reading baseball fiction. The two
exceptions to universal knowledge of
baseball are magazine editors and mag
azine writer's, to Judge from some of
the stories printed in the last year.
The most exciting yarn of ALL print
ed seriously by one of the second class
fist class magazines had a wonderful
climax. The score was to 3 in the
last half Of the ninth inning. The
bases were filled and the hero was at
bat with two out Now what do you
suppose he did? The writer had him
hit home run, and ended up the game
with the score Of to 8, and the hero
being carried around by a wildly ex-
cited crowd of admirers.
Immediately after reading another
story | released the hero uncondition-
ally. 1t is rather odd, but the hero al
ways comes to bat IN the ninth inning,
and I've never known him either 80
strike out or hit a fly. Indeed, in
seven baseball stories have analysed
within the last week the hero has bat
ted 1000 and mostly home runs and,
as far as can learn, no one has even
drafted him. But this hero was
wonder. He was captain of the team.
His great pal and assistant hero LED
off the ninth with a two Dagger and
was sacrificed to third. With one out
and run needed to win the game the
next batter hit the ball mile to cen
ter field. The fielder went clear back
to the fence, leaped, caught the ball,
hit the fence and was unconscious.
Now, what do you suppose that runner
on third did? Why, he calmly stuck
around third base until the center field
er recovered consciousness and re-
fused to score until the hero made a
base knock" Chats what the
writer called it,
The third hero was a pitcher and a
wonder. In the ninth inning his team
was in lots of trouble. The opposing
team had the bases full with one out,
anu HIS rival WAS at DdL with LIlTeG
balls and no strikes. The hero pitch
ed him three sweeping outcurves SO
far from the plate he missed them, and
struck him out" Good waiter, that
rival. The writer even fails to record
the sayings of the manager when the
rival took his swings at those balls.
One of the best bits of judgment in
any of the stories was that of the cap
tain who, in the eighth inning. with
the score to against his team,
got a runner to first base, then sacri-
feed, ito save the disgrace of a shut
out" The opposing pitcher fumbled
the bunt (no wonder, II he knew the
game he'd be surprised too much to
pick 1t up), and turned the tide, and
the heros team won. Just how he
managed it l haven't figured out, for,
according to the story, he hunted in

William Joel Stone, of Missouri. He is
a veteran in legislative experience,
having sat in the house from 1885 to

IOf his state and in 1908 was sent to

Senator Stone is an uncompromising
Democrat and believes that lis party
will be successful in the next presi-

managed Bryan's campaign.

dertook the studies with whose re-
suits you have long been familiar.
The efforts Of DIR. Herty and other
experimenters have demonstrated con
clusively that improved methods, in
which a cup is used TO catch the crude
turpentine and the box done away
with, result in the production of a
larger quantity Of turpentine and ros-
in, high grades OF the latter, longer
life to the timber and greatly lessened
damage from fire and wind The in
PRODUCTION of these methods is the
first step in conservative turpentining.
Because of the increased initial cost
of the equipment such methods have
not appealed to the smaller operators,
who have little capital, and whose OPP
era,ions extend over only two or three
years in a given locality They are
unquestionably profitable TO the larger
operators and especially to those who,
working upon their own timber, have
the most inducement TO handle il
carefully. Only within the last five
years have these improved methods
been introduced upon a commercial
scale.
Yet the fact that alveaedy one-sev
enth of the entire output of naval
stores is by those methods, and that
in the newer fields and most up-to-
date operations they are used most
largely demonstrates that they have
passed fay beyond the experimental
stage.

W@ HE naval stores industry is one
of the oldest industries in the
United States, deriving its
III name from the fact that in the
early days pitch from pine
trees was commonly used to make
wooden vessels water-tight The term
has persisted to this day, though the
products long ago found other and
more important uses.
The turpentining of pine timber be-
gan in New England with the pitch"
or yellow pine, of that region, but it
was in North Carolina that the first
extensive development of the naval
stores industry occurred. The records
show that from 176S to 1870 the av-
erage exports of naval stores to Eng
land included SS,111 barrels of crude
turpentIne, 20,646 barrels of pitch and
1886 barrels of tar. Most of the
crude was shipped to England for dis
tillation through the ports of VIII
mipgton and Newberi..

and gave much impetus to the indus
try. However previous 20 1914 not
over one-half of the production in
North Carolina was distilled at home.
Then, because Of the poor market for
resin, the stills were transferred from
the ports to the woods, and a heavy
onslaught upon long-leaf pine forests
OF the south began
North Carolina reached its maxi
mum in naval stores production in
1880, with an expectation of 6,279-
$50 gallons of turpentine, and 663, 1861
barrels OF resin. A comparison of
this great expectation with total pro
duction in North Carolina in 1908 of
$4,000 gallons of turpentine and 49,
900 barrels of rosin tells the story of
the exhaustion Of the long-leaf pine In
that state. South Carolina attained
its maximum output of naval stores
in 1882, only two years after that Of
North Carolina. The invasion of new
forests Of virgin timber brought Geor-
gta to the front few years later, but
recently that state has been sur
passed by Florida, which is producing
nearly one-half of the total value OF
the yearly output of the naval stores
