BASEBALL INSTINCT
II Takes Quick Thinking Players to
Make Successful Team,

Make a Successful Team.
The greatest difficulty in building up
baD teams in this day, when the game
has become a business as well as g
sport, is in securing what we know as
thinking ball players" There are any
number of ball players in the minor
leagues who have natural physical
ability. but it is very rarely possible
to secure men who have that peculiar
faculty Of being able to think and act
simultaneously.
1t IS no reflection on a ball players
general intelligence to say that be
hasn't that quality. l know scores of
players who are men of unusual in
tellect. but who are lacking in that
ability to think and act at the same
time. Give them few minutes to
consider a problem. and they will ar
rive at conclusion that is quite log
ical. but baseball games are not won
on logic. The plays that win are usu-
ally the result of impulse. 1t is in
stinct with some ball players to make
the proper play at the proper time.
1t would be possible to count on the
fingers of the two hands the men in
the league who are quick thinking
ball players" The team that is bless
ed with a majority of that class Of
players is the one that usually wins
the championship. A team must have
at least two thinking ball players to be
a contender. and If it has four the
championship is in sight.-John j. Nc

The First French Newspaper.

1t was under Richelieu that the
first newspaper received sanction and
encouragement. says Thomas E. Wat

Diversity of Language.

E. B. Taylor in his "Anthropology"
says: "Language is one branch of
the great art of sign making or sign
choosing. and its business is to hit
upon some sound as suitable sign or
symbol for each thought. Whenever
sound has been thus chosen there
was no doubt a reason for the choice,
but it did not follow that each lam
guage should choose the same sound"
Thus we have the root explanation Of
the great puzzle of diversity of Ian
guage. Originally a matter of sound,
language varies with the thing by
which it is suggested. and hence the
babel of tongues found in our human
speech.

SIGNATURE EXPERTS.
Bank Clerks That Can't Be Deceived
by Names on Checks.

A number Of the larger banking in
stitutions employ from one to half a
dozen men whose sole duty is to ey-
anime every check that comes in
through the clearing house and vouch
for the genuinenesS of the signatures.
To the ordinary citizen it seems
nothing short of marvellous that a
signature clerk will instantly recog-
nize the slightest alteration in a sig
nature, with thousands of checks pass
ing through his hands each day. many
of them drawn by depOsitors who sign
but a few checks in the course of a
year, but an expert signature clerk
can carry in his mind accurate pho
tographs of 5000 or more signatures
and rarely has to refer to the sigma ture
book. When not engaged with the in
coming checks the signature expert
spends his time in familiariZing him
self with the signatures of new Gus
toners. There Is no room for TN
certainty in his business. for if he
passes a bogus draft it will mean
bad mark against him when promo
tons are in order. and to refuse pay
ment on genuine check means a very
wrathful customer.
The signature clerk is also required
to see that no checks are post dated
and to look for checks on which pay
ment has been stopped.
In proportion to the number Of
checks paid by large bank every
business day the smallness of the num-
Der of bad ones that slip through is
nothing short of marvelous.-Harper's

FIGHT here in Hawley every

enjoy a ride over the new
electric thoroughfare, and every last
one of them would like to take that
ride quicker than instantly. / ad-
wise everybody to be patient, to save
some of their show money for the
new trolley sensation, and to rest
assured of one thing for a certainty,
and that is this: Before election day
rolls around the road will be built
and Honesdale ladies can have every
opportunity of visiting Hawley and
incidentally of doing a little shop
ping with Hawley merchants, stop
ping at the White Mills stores on
their way home to complete their
purchases, and then get a car for
home in time to get supper ready
for "the old man" of the house.

they would all enjoy it.

many other things ahead to be con-

really will have to be considered

most impressive. After this the
Daughters of Isabel served a fine
supper in the basement of st. Mary's

by a ball in Mulrain's hall. Every
Hawley boy in attendance report a
most enjoyable time.
