Who Are the Twenty Most Popular Baseball Fans in

Votes Will Decide.

Some one once said: We'll begun Is
half done" That's a pretty good motto
and one that holds good in every case
The winning of one of the worlds series
trips may depend &c a great extent on
how you begin. Is your beginning coins
to be an suspicious one? Are you going
to start the race with a jump and thus
gain an advantage over your adver-
saries? Or are you going to begin in a
half-hearted way and trail the bunch
throughout the race. thinking that by a
little extra effort at the finish you can
regain your lost ground and breast the
tape a winner?
These tactics in a long race would be
good and the effort would often be
crowned with success, BUT don't lose
sight of the all-important fact in this
race. II is not a marathon. 1t is a
sprint from start to finish. You who
have followed athletics know that the
sprinter depends on his start for the
winning of his heat. On what little ad-
vantage he can gain at the crack of the
gun hangs his Changes OF success. So
bear in mind this fact. This contest is
a sprint, anc short one. Get into
the race at the crack OF the gun, with
q flying start. and sprint to glory and
success. And let your motto be: well
begun is half done"
