BASEBALL nEcoRps AS A TEXT.

What good does it do for Walter
Johnson to pitch fifty sixth innings
straight without granting score. or
for Christy NTathewson to pitch since
the beginning of the season and only
give two bases on balls both In his
first game? Is not baseball futile

tinsel of moments physical skill ?
In way, this is true. The hero does
no real work. He adds nothing to the
worlds wealth by his tremendous feats.
He melts into the past, and two by

Yet there is good in doing anything

has given his employers the very best

will console him after the shouting and
the tumult have died. With Mathew
son. too. is the sense of a successful
mental effort. He has no giants arm
yet by brain work, and the marvellous
control of nerve and eye and hand, he
has thrown ball after ball, twisting
and curving, fast and slow, at a few
inches OF white plate and in some hun
dreds no four successive balls have
gone altogether wide OF the mark The
mental and physical alertncss and the
mastery OF self shown by that are mem
orable. Such talents would have won
IN almost any line.
Then. let the boy on the lots remem-
