Had man an immortal "soul" theE
all the lower animals would have had
"souls'' also. Evolution shows TIA
no gap exiSts in the process Of develop

from the sab-humAn in degrees only
not in kind. There is . greater diher'
enee between the lowest man and the
highest man than there is between the
lowest man and the highest ape. II q
human baby Is immortal, why should
not a baby monkey be immortalf A
human infant cannot display more
mental or moral capacity than an in

Had man an immortal "soul, " than
would the lowest animals have it too
But as the lowest animals have no
future life, neither has man.
One Of the very few important true
tsxts in the "Holy Bible" which is
always overlooked by idolators, is
found in Ecelesiastss (3:19). "For
that which befaIleth the sons Of men
befalleth beasts; even one thing be-
falleth them; as the one dieth so dieth
the other; yea, they have all one
breath, so that man hath no pre-emin-
ence above q beast" Nan has evolved
from the lower animals. Since prac-
tieaIly all admit that the lower animals
are not immortal, while believing man
to be immortal, when and how did he
become soi When did man first be-
come separated from the lower animals

Mack, Himse1fW ants to Know

can look back, not many years ago,
when Harvard and Yale met on the dia,
mond you could look for high-class
ball. To take game in the spring
from either Harvard or Yale, with a
major league club, took fast ball play
ing. The student players were aggres-
sive. could hit, their pitchers were both
heady and clever and there was an air
Of confidence that was exhilarating.
7 looked forward to the series be-
tween Harvard and Yale, as did all of
the professional players and wise fans,
with perfect relish. For there you
were pretty sure to see the game played
in a heady, skillful manner, with strict
attention to inside baseball or team
work, the best kind of training for the
youths Of nation.
The college boys were the inventors
Of Individual and combination plays
with the best professional players.
Nearly every invention, from the max
ing of the ball to the different appli-
anees used for the players protection
came from the brain Of some college
student, Tt was Harvard men who in
vented the style of cover now used by
all ball makers.
Thayer, a Harvard student, was the
inventor of the catcher's mask. The
different cages used for practice were
introduced years ago at Harvard.
Many of the clever moves now used by
the professionals, such as the sacrifice
hit and the double steal, were first seen
on the college fields. These amateurs
were ever striving to improve their
chances of victory, by perfectly legitl-
mate methods, and firmly held the at
tention of the baseball world.
TT was the national game, and the
IL college boy was loyal to the core
II was the one game where the large
and small boy met on equal terms,
where skill brains and the fighting
spirit produced results. We're not these
ideal conditions for the young man who
loved outdoor reereatlon7
Today you will find much Of the
same love for the game at the smaller
institutions Of learning.
To these institutions you will find
the high school and the prep. school
boys turning for inspiration. Baseball
and football are the only team games
played out Of doors that the American
lad cares for. One warm and the
blooded American youth has great
love for both games. One game. pure
ly amateur, the other unelassifed, free
to all, professionals and amateur alike.
AS near as / can make out here are
few of the reasons why the wearers
OF the Crimson and the Blue have lost
their high standing in baseball, First,
