I handed. Ism; hat so?

Tielnal Questioner admitted it was.
We'll. then. isn't it reasonable to
assume that Il ball player from his
earliest days to the time he gets into
the big leagues hits against right
handed pitchers twice as often as he
does against southpaws." This also
was admitted. ''Well.' continued
White. that's the answer and that's
all there is to it. Ii the big leagues
should decide to carry half a dozen
left hand pitchers and only one or two
right handlers. YOU would find thai in
the course of Il very short time all
'hese fellows who cannot hit left
landed pitchers would soon be able
to solve The portside shoots"

For years it seemed to be the belief
OF the managers about the American
league circuit that the Athletics would
slaughter any soutlpaw sent against
them.
But n day a wise manager. up

lay. tried the experiment and the
pitcher won the game. Then it was
found that a southpaw was effective
against even the Athletics. Then
there was a rush and every pitcher of
the offside persuasion was tried agains.

For a short time it was found they
We're unusually effective. but after
n a they won only us many games as
the ordinary twirlcr. Why?
Simply because the champs got wise
and soon became accustomed to bat
ting against southpawS-a thing they
had no had a chance to do for a long
time. 1t was found they won as MANY
games from southpaws rs from any
body else, and that was a good many.
Same in Detroit.
In Detroit the same fable existed
for a long time. and It was considered
wise by many managers to SEND their
southpaws against the Tigers. But it
was found-as the records for the past
few years will show-that Sam Craw-
ford and Ty Cobb do not care VERY
much against whom they bat. and
that the Tigers ave continued to win
q reasonable percentage of the games.
Il all SINNERS down to the same
proposition that Il capable pitcher, be
he right or left handed in his deliv
cry. will produce results against any
club. Any pitcher who can get some
thing on the ball n is up to the big
league standard will make good. ir-

prove IL point.

question was asked d. White. tho

Judge Dunbar's Address.

Commencement week crowded
ont a proper mention Of the very
able address Of Judge w. O. Dun
bar, at the Methodist church on
Sunday evening, May 18th His
subject was 1.-THE Juvenile Court /"
The care Of the boy and girl at
the critical age Is Of sufficient im-
portance to be recognized by So
ciety, and different methods are
now being used in caring for
those who make errors in iudg-
ment, owing to youth or evil in
fluence. Judge Dunbar however
emphasized the responsibility Of
the parent and said that tho court
could not supply that which the
parent had neglected to do at the
proper time. Judge Dunbar
speaks easily and entertainingly
on his favorite theme, and his
message to the people here will be
treasured.

Viewpoints are not uniform. Standards OF

untold variations of intelligence. There isn't a
living soul with whom you entirely agree on every

you TO accept every issue and regard every stu
alton in the light of reason as fellow Gre
ature So how can you hope even under the most
favorable of auspices, to have everybody like you
or like you? You must think for yourself-you
must respond to your own intuitions-you must
reason your own way ahead Your career can be
guided by only your personal observations and con-
victons
The greater your force of character, the more
you'll force others to demonstrate their differing
characteristics. If you're upright and just and sane
and lean and capable, it isn't matter with your
own volition TO gain Endorsement of warped and
erratic and mean and criminal and brutal men
You must take sides in society; and even
among your chosen associates, you must stand pre-

your advancing feet against jealousy and bigotry
and rascality. And the more decidedly you pro

those who dislike you.

you can only hold down your share of trouble
by holding back. In every sphere men gibe and
sneer-even the peace of the ditch digger is threat

THE WHISTLER

I sat alone in my office, weary and
sick at heart,
For life seemed such struggle, and
mine such strenuous part;
And | thought of the many thousands
engaged in the weary strife,
OF the cares, and pains, and sorrows
that make up what men call life.
| Of the toll worn men, aye, and wom-
en- too, passing their several ways.
Grinding. grinding, the, long hours
through, the hours that drift into
days,
And days that make years as the
seasons roll; with small share of
rest or change,

his toll, and summons them out Of
range.

sped its way to my heart.
Nearer it came, and nearer, fuller
and more complete
AS IL the heart of it's happiness, could
scarce find room in the street;
Into the Railways and out again,
