BAKER AT IT AGAIN.
Five Hits in Six Times Up, One Of
Them a Crasher.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, March 11.-Baker
made his debut Of the 1913 season yester-
day. The Athletics proved better in the
mud than San Antonio and won their
fifth straight game from the Brancos, IL
to 1. Last night members of San An
tonio's outfield were nursing sore legs as
a result of chasing the drives compiled
by the home run king. Out of six trips
to the plate Baker grouped three singles.
a double and a triple. His three-base
clout covered more territory before it
struck the ground than any smash yet
registered at Block Field. But for mud
on the paths it would have been an easy
home run. Chief Bender started the
game and held the Broncos hitless three
innings.

Benjamin Franklin sagely said:

NO CHANCE FOR CYLINDERS"
Social Position Is Almost Irrevoeably
Fixed in Europe, and
Adhered To.

In Europe everybody mas definite
social position axed by birth and edu-
cation. Individuals pass from one SO
ciai level 10 another with more facil-
ity than is thought. Yet the vast
mass OF Britols, Frenchmen. Germans
and so forth, pass their lives on the
social level where they were born.
Position is fixed. Their compatriots
place them at glance. This caste
makes for contentment There is
hardly any temptation to spend for
appearance. because such spending
will not lift them into a higher order.
The social values are not easily fall
sif1ed. Thus two merchants of the
same class will have retired with in

in the same suburb. One has twenty
thousand year and keeps a motor
car. The other has only five thous.
and, and for him motor car Is out
of the question. Yet their families

or pretentiousness on the other, and
to the man with Ave thousand a year
1t would seem madness to try to main
tain touring car for the sake OF ap-
pearing as well off as his neighbor
with four times the income.
In the United States. on the con-
uary. the absence of fixed social lev
els tends to encourage lavish spend
ing. People try. by appearances and
the possession of mere things to give
themselves fictitious social values.
This social counterfeiting though
common in every American commune
", reaches its highest development
among the third class of New York's
spenders. Elsewhere people seem to
feel that the thing is successful II
they can put themselves into cfrcula-
ton as twenty dollar banknotes. But

counterfeiting is to pass yourself OFF

FENCING A HEALTHY PASTlME
Graceful Accomplishment, Writer
Thinks, Is Not Accorded the po-

Fencing as a pastime has much to
recommend ii. 1t is convenient for
men who work In town or country,
does not consume as much time as

Hitherto the expense has been
against its popularity. On the other
hand, were there more students Of
fencing the high subscriptions charged
by school would show abatement. In

costs from $3.50 to S.. This last
weapon is more easily managed than
