Professional baseball carries off the

other evils more serious.

In handing the glory to baseball
and criticizing other sports, Prof.
Howard writes:
"Psychologically, for instance, the
great American game Of baseball is a
powerful democratic agent. Vast
crowds of both sexes and Of all ages,
persons Of every economic, social, re-

rank or vocation laid aside.
1.-THE chief menace to the general
use of recreation activities comes from
the extraordinary vogue of college ath-
letic spectators. The primary business
of the student is, or ought to be, to
study. Naturally, he is inactive dur

Is plenty of time left for restful rec

But the student cannot keep his bodi-

by exercising vicariously. The vi

"It is imperative that college author

URGE TRAINERS FOR PLAYERS
Little or No Attention Paid to Phys.

A good many professional athletes
do things which amateurs never would
think of doing. This is particularly
true Of baseball players
In order that the point may I've un.
derstood, one must appreciate the
hardships under which amateurs get
ready for contests. They quit snok.
ing and their diet is regulated with
as much science back of it rs physi.
clan gives to a patient. This amateur
mortifies his flesh and Furnishes his
stomach with the one single idea OF
making himself proficient in the con.
tests in which he has undertakes tc
engage.
The professional baseball player,
on the contrary, pays little or no
attention to training after the prelim
mary season is finished. The average
baseball player, like every other hui
man being who exercises a COED

himself to over eat, says the Milwau

They 90 not over drink as rule
but they have other foolish ways
not taking care of themselves. The
average baseball player is in such 8
hurry to get to the bus after the game
that he does not properly elothe him
self and a good many of them find
themselves stiffened up after a hot
finish because they ride to the hote
without properly cooling off.
What every baseball team ought te
have is professional trainer who
has absolute power and control ove1
the physical welfare of the men. He
should be heartless dictator, whose
orders are to be obeyed, and the
management should back him up IL
everything he does. In this way base

Four years ago Charles Dryer
married his schooImate Katherine

children they had played about
the home of Charles parents. On
March 30, 1910, Charlie and
Katherine, while driving, were
struck by train ON a dangerous
crossing. Charlie was instantly
killed. Katherine had a miracu-
lous escape.
Grief over the loss of her only
son fell heavily upon Mrs. Frank
A. Dryer and although Katherine
was almost constantly at the
woman's side to aid her father
in-law in giving comfort to the
stricken mother, Mrs. Dryer
finally took to her bed and died
on Sept. 6. 1911.
Sympathy arising from our
double grief drew Katherine and

says.
Grief healed quickly under the
balm of the pine scented country
roads, through which Dryer and
Katherine drove daily, and the
sorrow of yesterday metamor-
phosed into the love of today.
Following the first shock of the
news that the couple would marry
in June Buyers attention was
called to chapter 174, section q,
