We have splendid federal departments

States have their state health depart

The same may be said of our community

The Immediate Need.

We do need our Rockefeller and Wis

of our great medical schools. and our
Carnegie Institute laboratory. the re
search divisions of various federal de-
YaTtments. our endowments for the study
Of cancer. diseases of old age, tuberculo-
Sis and tropical medicine. These institu-
lions are predominantly for the solving
of medical problems. As yet We lack
social institutions that will Adequately
apply this knowledge to human need
But the great and immediate need. the
need which is not met nor specifically
sought by existing agencies, is to bring
this knowledge into effective action. our
equipment for securing facts is mere
adequate than is that for securing action.

vance of action In order to increase the
health and longevity of our people we
need pure water. effective sewage syS-

of labor. rea Sonable hours of work pure
food, wholesome recreat ion, protection
against infection of many sorts and in
children. In order to know the basal
facts need as comprehensive vital
statistics for all states as now have

TECHNIQUE OF BASEBALL.
Few Changes Made in Game
Since Early Days of the Sport.

From the time of the adoption of regular
playing rules by the old Knickerbockers,
changes IN the technique Of baseball have
been remarkably few in number as COM
pared with the great advances In skill and
science of play" says A. G. Spalding in
his new book, America s National Game"
The ball recently has been improved, but
is still of practically the same size and
weight. Bats are substantially OF the same
form and material as at the beginning of
professional baseball The masks gloves
and mitts have been somewhat bettered in
material and workmanship. and uniforms
and shoes are better, but the same general
quality Of fabric and fashion are yet en-
ployed in their making.
In one department Of the game. however.
the change has been marked. Pitching has
undergone a complete revolution. Indeed.
the word pitching. which was properly ap-
piled to the act OF ball delivery at first, Is
to-day a misnomcr. The ball. as now pre-
sented to the batsman. is not pitched. but
thrown. Whereas. in the early days, II lett
the pitchers hand with a peculiar snap or

was a velvet green, mellow in the sun

and perfectly transparent. The practice
work Of both teams had glittered with
concrete proofs that the souls of the
players were in the coming contest.

nouncement. Although ne had only one
arm there was no difficulty in hearing
him He had both lungs. Among his
news was mentioned the name Of Math-
ewson, who would pitch for the Giants.
Matty's Name Caused Tumult.
That was enough. The crowd again ex-
ploded. McGraw and Mack appeared
before the camera squad to shake hands
that all. even those detained in other
cities, might know that they were friend
ly. The battle was on.
The multitude bent forward. Again all
vas silent, but only for a second. Then
the Giants ran across the field, and the
forty thousand blew election night horns,
New Years Eve trumpets, shook rat
ties. cheered, halloed, clapped hands
and shouted affectionate admonitions to

Matty was on the mound. Instantly
the gaze of the forty thousand was
directed at him, at the plate and the
batter who was there.

the ball was caught by the Indian

remark had been reiterated three times
by the adjudicator the crowd expert
enced violent agitations, made extraordi-
nary motions and incredible leaps and
jumps. In very truth, the battle mad

most equally noisy It proved the sports

when the score was to 0 in favor Of the

the fourth inning, Fletcher made two

abled Snodgrass 10 come home; and In
the seventh, when Meyers came home IN
a two bagger by Devore and made the
run that won the game, the response Of
the crowd was stupendous. Men and
women uttered strange cries, gave every
indication of enjoying paroXysms Of ex-
citement and pronounced disconnected
words. which, if they could be collected
and put in book, would make an origi-
nal souvenir.
