 For Americans, baseball seems to be the pastime par excellence It offers itself the participation of rich and poor alike; calls both brain and brawn and it closer to furnishing both pleasure and excitement both player and spectator than any other athletic contest des gned for general acceptance.
 Baseball does not have to enter the Fists as rival of golf tennis poo or other outcdoor sports which no less enthusiastic albeit smaller folowings These games not only are unadapted to the needs of the many; they do not lend themselves as a spectacle which may be watched by galleries numbering in the tens of thousands

AFRAID OF GHOSTS

TUCSON-Professor Cicero p. Sim mons, organizer of the Phoenix Forum. who came here two weeks ago to take charge of the colored school, is having his troubles. His school is being boy cotted because the building was once used as an undertakers' establishment. Five pupils enrolled on tEe first day and never returned. Last year forty eight negro pupils attended the Tue son schools and this year the colored population of the city is larger Pro lessor Simmons has been working hard among the coiored people. but they are reluctant to allow their child ren to attend q school in a room where dead bodies once lay. It is possible that the school board will have to secure other quarters. The building is well ventilated and furnished and has a large yard.
