about the man dissatisfied with his one
talent, who buried it in the ground and
gave it back, as he. got it, to the master
who had given it to him.
Most of us are men of ONE
TALENT, and, like the man in the
Bible, discouraged by the smallness of
our power, we wrap it up, do nothing
with it, and when death comes hand it
back, rusty and unused, to the Power
whence it came
Use the ladder, long or short, that
Nature and your ancestors have given
you.
Climb upward, if you climb only
one yard or one inch.
When you HAVE climbed an inch,
pull up the ladder, start ONE INCH
HIGHER and climb again. With
a scaling ladder six feet long a
mountaineer might climb a cliff 5000
feet high. He needs only courage,
determination and energy to do it.
He climbs up six feet, gets footing,
places his ladder higher, climbs again,
and thus rises steadily.
Sometimes the climber reaches the
top, where the world looks broad and
wonderful, where there is room for all.
where man is A REAL MAN.
Sometimes he falls, is destroyed and
in death ridiculed as failure. But at
least he tries.
morning. Get the start Of a long
sleep tonight. Open your eyes fresh,
rested, strong.
Pick up the ladder Of your power,
long OF short Put it against the cliff
Of success-BE A CLIMBER.
There are rules for everything, and
rules for the man who means to climb
upward.
SAVE YOUR POWER for. your
work No dissipation, gambling,
drunkenness, foolish late hours.
Don't burn up your ladder.
Pick out the spot where you mean
to climb and stick to THAT spot-at
least until you know positively that you
have picked out the wrong place.
Select some point above you on tha
cliff Of success, and say to yourself,
81 am going to get THERE"
Then keep climbing until you do
get there, or until you die.
Keep your eye fixed on the spot that
you. have selected. Start out in the
morning determined to climb Ask
yourself every day in the evening what
progress you have made. Be severe
with yourself, critical and harsh. No
man succeeds who is not his own slave
driver.
Remember the one great rule: You
must climb UPWARD always, and in
the same direction.
You would laugh at a man running
along the bottom Of a cliff, climbing up
ten feet, climbing down, going a little
farther to climb up ten feet, coming
down, and thus indefinitely. You
would pity or scorn such a man-yet
nearly all of us are like him. We climb
up and climb down, climb up and climb
down, during the few years that are
given us, and at the end we are about
at the level whence we started-or at
lower level.
He who will, no matter how short
his ladder, no matter how slight his
opportunity, may finish every day Of
i his life, finding himself little higher
up than when the day began.
SayeS your strength, save your
health, save your money, save your
time, save your character, AND USE
y THEM. ALL AS THE LADDER THAT
WILL TAKE YOU HIGHER.
The times dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1903-1914, 1913-09-21
But he will not climb.

Of such men there are thousand
kinds, and they have thousand
reasons for sitting, instead of climbing.
These are the things they say, while
others climb and reach the heights
above them:
81 NEVER HAD A CHANCE,
what is the use of my trying?
eff work hard the employer gets
the benefit, get nothing. | shall take
things easily.
"sOME time, SOME day, when
things are different, am going to do
SOME thing worth while.
81 never had any luck. Those that
pass me are luckier.
".Life soon ends-peace Of mind is
the chief thing. Why should [ worry
and tire myself when / know that I
will soon be dead anyhow? The whole
thing will make no difference in
hundred years"
Thus talks the man sitting on his
GET UP AND CLIMB.
Better fall and break your neck
trying than stay flat on the ground,
like a turtle or a clam.
1t is worth while to try, if only for
the sake Of trying.
The world is what it is, changed
from savage barbarism byman in a few,
hundred thousand years, because men
have worked and climbed, not satisfied
to- sit still.

physically. He walks a few steps,
|, stumbles and falls, then rises, and
walks OH again.
Sometimes little thing, like the
picture on this page, starts the train
of thought that leads man upward.
A picture tells us in a second what
words cannot tell in an hour.
Do you doubt it? Ask yourself
what would be the effect if the living
head OF q big snake should rise above
this newspaper as you hold it. What
words could produce the effect in your
mind of such a PICTURE?
Any man, old or young, may see in
this picture his own life as it is to-day.
Brain, character, ambition, physical
and mental power constitute mans
ladder.
Each Of us is climbing up, striving
for what is better, going downward, or
idly sitting still, DOING NOTHING.
The great majority, like the man
sitting on the ladder, do little, one way
OF the other.

GilhooIey a Wonder.
This Gilhooley is the baby of the
league but is probably the most prom
ising youngster in the International
League circuit. He Is 20 years old and
will celebrate his twenty-f1rst birth
day in June, but he looks like a high
school kid. He seems even younger
than Hal Janvrin, who by the way, is
making a big hit In Boston, accord
ing to Cady who saw Yesterdays
game. Gilhooley played with the Erie
club last year, where he met Al
Shack who had a tryOut with the
same club at one time. The st. Louis
Cardinals bought Gilhooley, but Man
ager Higgins decided to send him to
Bransfield for more seasoning. His.
work in this series hasgbeen phenom-
email. His speed in beating out infleld
hits has been very much on the Ty
Cobb order. and he is as cool as
veteran in fielding and throwing. He
made an error yesterday on a hard
chance in the first inning when New
ark scored it's pair of runs, but 1t was
py hln nf thu rni oh
ground Tooley had been hit and

He died there.
Lee had the enemy we'll in hand I'M
til the fourth. A pass to Hanford and
singles by Miller and Yeager gave the
Royals one run in that round. Clean
cut fielding and good pitching held the
Royals after that, but Newark could
do nothing with Smiths spitters, and

Cured it was all off.
Frank Smith gets credit for the VIC

with his first defeat according to Of

all ready to chalk up the second sue
cessive defeat in two days against
Smith, the Montreal spitball artist,
who lost out in the eleventh inning on
Saturday because he used bean
BALI in pitching to Eddie Zimmerman
with Billy Zimmerman on third base.
The bean BALI proved a boomerang.
Instead of scoring Eddie it went as
a wild pitch, and Billy Da Zim scored
the winning run. Smith was taken
out in the ninth yesterday to make
way for a pinch batter, and Mattern
finished the game, hnt Smith gets
credit for the win. as he was entitled

ROYALS Presented With Game.
Aitchison Charged With
His First Defeat.

Every once in a while our Tigers
perehed away up on the top rung of
the international League ladder get
lonesome, just like an aviator skim
ming among the clouds gets certain
fear that he'll never be able to
descend again, and takes hasty dive
toward the earth.
Yesterday was one of those days
when Manager Harry Smiths men
got lonesome and yearned for COM
pany. They got it. Today the Balti-
more Orioles are on even terms with
the Bengals.
There is. however, plenty of graf
ifcation in the Tigers showing to
date. The team has lost but three
games of ten played and has never
been out of first place+that in spite
of the fact that the Tigers are hitting
as a team below par, which is to say
their average. The fact that the
Rengals have been able to maintain
such a stiff pace in spite of the fact
that most of the boys have not struck
their real hitting stride has been due
principally to superb pitching and
Manager Harry Smiths clever mana
gerial maneuvering. Harry tried hard
to save yesterdays game by making
two changes in the pitchers box when
the Royals broke loose in that ninth
inning spree, but for the first time
this season his dope didn't pan out
right. No manager is infallible. so
Harry's average is still pretty close
to 1893.
That Ninth Round.
The trouble with the Tigers in the
ninth yesterday seemed to be over
confidence, and 1t was the best les
son which could have been admins
tered. Newark had two runs and
Montreal one tally when the ninth
round opened. Lee had to hold the
Royals down in that half of the round,
and the big crowd would have depart
ed contentedly, but Lennox, batting
for Esmond, started all the trouble
with single. Purtell hunted in front
of the plate and Lee threw to Tooley
with plenty of time to spare, hoping
to force Lennox at second base. Lees
offering took a little shoot and
caromed. off Tooley's glove. A mo-
ment later Burns hunted and Lee
threw to third in plenty of time for
another force-out. This time Lees
eft-handed shoot puzzled Eddie Zim-
norman and he muffed the peg. That
tied the score.
Harry Smith called on Shack with
his speed to BATTLE Griggs, who is a
good hitter, and was, sent to bat for
Frank Smith. Shack lacked control
and filled the bases by passing the
first man to face him. Then with Gil
