uncertainty, which produces such in
finite variety that no two games are
alike. No game is ever lost or won
until the last man is out, and no re-
suit can ever be predicted with abso-
lutte or scientific certainty
This glorious uncertainty is pro-
dueed solely by the prescribed round
bat, which has been in vogue ever
since the game first assumed definite
form as a distinct sport In no other
game or sport in which a ball figures
is a bat used. and that is why all ball
games except baseball are scientific,
often to the point of tameness; and
that is also why baseball differs from
all other ball games both from the
standDoint Of 0Iaver and spectator.
The contact of the round bat with the
round ball is the one thing that makes
possible the infinite variety, the limit
less chances and the element of
'1uck'H that makes a game Of baseball
the most uncertain thing in the world
as to result. and therefore the delight
of the public the despair Of the critic

apart from ceremonies and dances,
the one great break in the monotony
OF life is paying visits to strange

woman takes tho youngest child across
