The first aim of our present

needful activities must be de-

race cannot progress any more

except by the expenditure of a
large amount of intelligent hu-

The Baseball Fan
By GEORGE FITCH,

Copyright, 1912, by George Mathew Adamsl

A BOUT this time of the year the
n baseball fan comes out Of his
winter Overcoat, takes his voice
out of his automobile. where he has
been using it as an alarm signal and
begins to converse about baseball from
behind third base. When this happens
we know that summer is coming. even
those Of us who are almost totally deaf.
The baseball fan consists of two men
occupying the same suit of clothes. In
the morning the fan Is anything from
minister to a quiet respectable million
aire. with his mind cluttered ND with
bond issues. You cannot tell a baseball
fan from a rational being at breakfast
unless his wife allows him to read the
morning paper at the table But in the
afternoon the fan elects the other Occu-
pant from his clothes and takes them
out to the baseball park where he affixes
them firmly to the soft side of a pitch
pine plank in the bleachers, and con-
vUlses, erupts. detOnates, steam sirens
and eXplOdes until the simoons and tor
nadOes of soUHd make business difficult
a quarter Ola mile away. Casual visit
Ors to thisIand from England and other
rest cure8 look with alarm at the sight
OF a bank president, tearing off his col
lar dancing on his hat and pleading for
a small bite out of the umpire, and these
VISITORS return home with grave doubts
