Results of the Tedious Task of
Teaching the Red Man the
Ways of Civi|ization-Reser-
walton Idea Adopted In
Time of First Settlers.

MR. Origin oA tue 1HuAaH lcSN'
walton dates back to the time
of early settlers. When the
latter realized that the red
man had rights Of his own it became
the rule to cOntine the various tribes
to reservations. This plan was en-
forced during the colonial period by
a number of states and after they be-
came independent, and the United
States government has carried out the
policy. The reservations are guarded
from intrusion, and the educational
and general welfare of the charges re-
ceive federal attention, the govern
ment endeavoring to convert the race
as a whole to the ways of civilization.
In this direction good progress has
been made since the Indian mas been
impressed with the fact that a buried
Ratchet opens up IN u~nobstructed
path to his betterment ON general
principles.
Uncle San as the great white father
exercises the utmost watchfulness over
his red brother. For instance, he has
made it illegal to sell Intoxicating
drinks on the reservations. The law
Is often evaded, but as a whole much
good has come of the means taken to
keep the Indian and his toddy apart.
When the government took hold of
the Indian situation the southern
tribes east Of the Mississippi river
were removed to the Indian territory,
receiving the official promise that they
would there have a permanent home.
An altogether different life was mark
ed out for them, and some Of the
tribes have made surprising strides in
the direction Of modern ways, while.
opportunities placed within their reach
have enabled not a few Of them to ac-
quire a. goodly share of this worlds
goods.
Other tribes, mostly those from the
southwest, were assembled in the In
dian territory, while large reservations
were still maintained In the north
west.
AZ to Predictions.
Every once In awhile one reads that
the American Indian is destined to ex-
tinction. True, the race has greatly
diminished in numbers, but Of the
American Indians who are left all are
we'll cared for, there are thousands OF
happy and thriving Indian families,
and predictions Of extinction seem far
fetched. Surely the Indians in the
United States are better of, for in
stance, than those Of the Jagraon dis
trict Of India, where, according to the
report Of a woman missionary a few
years ago, the ignorance among Indian
motherS was terrible" as she ex'

MM 'GEAW has IL secret. III ell
EHH you what it is. 1t is his am
bition this year to set Il new
figure for anne Won during
the season. The Cubs hold the record
which the Giants manager is seeking.
In 19OG they went through the cam
paign. winning 1lG games. But the
C~hicHgOanS We're not the first to win
owe 100 games. In 1892 the Boston
Nationals went over the century mark
for the first time in Il National league
pe,n:nt race. Winnin" lO2.
Six years later they Duplicated the
trick with Il similar number of vie
tories. \ Brooklyn team also figured
in the records as having won more
than lNO games. They did this in lSo?.
and then in 1902 the Pirates came
along With ln:. The l904 Giant team
won LOG and the following year totaltu
100. The cubs the next year. with one
OF the best teams rvr known to the
national game. came along with their
record breaking percentage and in
1901 totuitu 100 Victories. In 1905 the
Pirates won no games. and in l3lO the
Cubs went through the season with
1U4.
While several Of the National league
cams have gone over the century
mark. the Athletics are the only team
in the American league which has won
Il pennalt with more than 100 games
to its credit. So the fact would make
ii appear that the American league
races as Il whole have been harder
fought than those in ths National
league. Twice Connie Mack'S men
have won more than 100 game during
a campaign. The first time they did it
was in 1910. when they won 1O1 bat
ties. and last year. When they totaled

possible to hit.
pitchers using the moist delivery
always keep it low. and that accounts
for the many assists they II the in
feeders have. 1t will be noticed that
most spitball twirlers are credited with
many fielding chances. That Is be-
cause the batterS cannot get Il good
solid Wallop at the ball and invariably
hit it on the ground. 1t is different
when the moist curve is pitched high,
say Il little above the waist or even
higher. 1t is then easiest to hit safe
ly. as the batter is swinging straight
out and when he does connect con-
meets sQuarely and drives the ball hard.
