Hit En- Where They Amt"

Years ago young reporter, shift
ed Unexpectedly to the sporting
staff, was rushed to cover ball
game. The editor, short of copy,
roared, Get a couple of articles
from the players" as the young fell
low was hurrying out of the Office.
The cub, through the power of his
press ticket, was permitted to go out
on the playing field. He knew moth
ing of the ways of the ball player,
but he knew orders and meant to do
his best to carry them out. He ap-
preached a grizzled old veteran, who
was famed as a slugger, one of the
boys who had been in the 800 class
ever since he broke into the game.
Mr.. -" he said, "can l get
you TO write me something about
batting?"
The big fellow growled. write
somethingi Huh, what do | know
about batting?"
The young man called his powers
Of persuasion into play and finally
the old star gave grudging assent.
'Tll scratch off something and
mail it TO you" he muttered and
stepped over to take a crack at the
ball, needless OF his questioner's
thanks.
The next morning an envelope,
bearing the baseball club stamp, lay
on the reporters desk. He tore it
open and a small slip OF paper fiut-
tered to the floor. He picked it up,
ind his face fell. Then he smiled
Tand hastened to the editor.
On the slip was written;
Dear Mr.. Murphy-Here's your
article. How to Bat" by Ed. Della
Ranty. Hit 'em where they amt.
lie next day it appeared at the
top OF the sporting page in double
size caps. 1t was the greatest arti-
ele on batting ever written. 1t has
since become an epigram. A young
fter, breaking into fast company, re-
feives that one sentence as instruc-
tions, for II is the only lesson in bat
ting that can be given. Books have
been written by the hundred, telling
how to hold a bat, how to step into
the ball, how to gauge speed, how
ITO do everything the good batter
does, but one might read these books
and memoriZe their every word
might studiously follow all instruc-
tion, yet If it isn't in him, IL he
hasn't got the eye" they will profit
him nothing. II he's ever going to
be a hitter the fact will come to
Hight the first time he picks up a
jagged piece OF stick and starts swip-
ing at an old twine ball or even a
! pebble.

 land, Our toilinG race earth's freshness hath
 worn; The trtadmill of life's tasks could not
 be borne Without some respite for the mind and
 hand. The rugged mountains and the smooth
 sea sand, And forests vast, of their best growth
 unshorn. For the sick body and the mind forlorn Are Natures own prescription. God
 hath planned \ playground here. where sunshine and
 bright flowers Enchant the eye; where every chang
 ing scene Reveals new beauties; where in groves
 and bowers, F'ruit-laden and ne-sheltered- ever
 green Millions can rest or play; the health
 full hours Drifting away in fairy splenIor sheen.
