4 YOUNG MANS MODEL,

Young men do well to model their
lives after that of man who has
lived for years in a community and
has the respect and confidence of all
its citizens. Such a man is r. b.
Price, president of the Boone County
National Bank and treasurer of the
University of Missouri.
On his eightieth birthday Mr.. Price
was at his desk. He has not allowed
himself to fall behind the times. He
has kept pace with the world. He
has seen the development of the past
and has a refreshing belief in the
progress that will be made in the
future.
Mr.. Price is tall and carries himself
with the erectness of man of half
his age. He has lived clean life:
he can look to the past with JOY and
to the future with peace.

GOOD MUSIC.

One of the final requirements in
culture is the ability to appreciate
coed music. No matter how well a
person may be versed in literature,
science and history, culture includes
an appreciation of good music.
If person has this appreciation it
must be kept alive by stimulation. If
such appreciation is not present, it
should be created. Ragtime will not
do the work If it would, there would
be no cause to complain. Culture
would be the asset of ALL Apprecia-
tion of good music is the result, first
of the opportunity to hear it, and sec
ond. OF taking advantage of the op-
portunity
Six concerts supplied by the Phi
Mn Alpha this year offer the oppor-
tunity to hear good music. Those
who have the appreciation may stim-
ulate it: those who have not the ap-
probation may create it. II is a fine
for all.

THE MYSTERY SOLVED AT LAST.
What Becomes of the Bats the Batters Break
In Breaking Up Baseball

Games.

The only time when one can dis
passionately discuss baseball is in tll'
fall, after the season is over, but be
fore next years pennants begin to bt
won. If you are a person who buys
winter coal in August. or if You lay
in a supply of textbooks in June, yOr
can hardly fail to be interested in a
/ discussion of the fine arts of the
game. Ladies who contemplate mar
rying baseball players are especially
urged to peruse this article carefully

began to explain the fine points in a
loud and confidential tone of voice.
His statements were so clear and
lucid that we could not refrain from
preserving them i'm print for the bene-
fit of others who may know less than
they would wish about our national
pastime. Let us begin at the begin
ming.
In the first place the game is
played on a large vacant lot sur
rounded by bleachers, grand stands
and tobacco signs. The difference be-
tween these is that the bleachers have
no roof. and the sign boards have
neither roof nor seats.
There are nine men on one team,
and also nine men on the other. This |
is to avoid having unequal numbers

WHY. THEY ARE HUMAN.

When one mentions the Supreme
Court OF the United States. the tr-
bunal from which there is no appeal.
he usually calls to mind a vision of
black-robed figures sitting silently in
vaulted hall family lighted b.
stained-cIass windows. Supposedly.
these beings spend their spare time
in poring over mUSty tones of forgot
ten centuries, and are not allowed TO
come into contact with everyday life
lest their decisions be preiudced by
knowledge of actual conditions.
But horrors, The national holy OF
holics has been invaded. and by base
ball, the most modern and the most
American of institutions. While hear
ing the "bathtub case" the learned
justices SO far forgot themselves and
their duty to tradition as to pass from
hand TO hand bulletins giving the
score by innings in the Worlds Series
games
Our tiptOed reverence for the court
has been swept away. Now let us
prepare to see cabaret show in the
Senate Chamber.

while batting they are struck on the
finger by pitched ball they emit
loud shrieks and usually require the
assistance of their fellow players to
reach first base.
Batting. as has just been limited, is
another important part of the game.
This is accomplished in the following
manner: A player from one side
takes bat, and a player from the
! other side takes another bat, and
then they cross bats. This crossing
of bats is frequently referred to in
the next days paper as feature of
the afternoons entertainment.
Bats are also used to hit flies.
grounders and umpires. Occasion
ally a player breaks up a game with
his bat. but more frequently he
breaks his bat. A player who can
break ten or fifteen bats in a season
is sure to be referred to as a heavy
slugger
For a long time it was not known
what became of these broken bats,
but at last it has been discovered that
three of them are kept in every out
able to start ut the "crack of the
bat" when he intends to catch a diff
ficult fly. If the outfieIder were not
compelled to start from some speci-
fed point. he would doubtless take
an unfair advantage of the batter by
moving. before the ball was batted, !
to the place where it would come to
the ground
Points are scored by sliding into .
the bases, either on the stomach or
on the back, as may seem advisable. /
or by spiking the opponents. When
a player knocks the ball over the
fence the umpire runs with him to
see that he wipes his feet on each of
the bases before he steps on the plate.
Nine innings of baseball make up
one outing for each spectator. How
ever, games are sometimes called on
account of darkness or rain. In
either of these cases the members of
the opposing teams discuss the
weather conditions i'm such a manner
as to reach a highly unsatisfactory

According to popular supposition.

of writing messages on the eggs they

thereby. But after this it will be-
