4 Remarks From the BleaCherS =
IN BY "ROOTER" N
y "ROOTER"

1t is the opinion of Hugh Jennings.
manager of the Detroit team, that the
base runners Of today are, for the
most part. far inferior to the base run
nerS of the time when McGraw, Kee-
Ter. Kelley, Hanlon and Long were in
the game.
Baseball as q game has made
derful strides in the past ten or twen-
ty years." says Hugh. but the player
OF today am speaking in general
terms-is far the inferior of the player
OF yesterday when base running is con-
sidered. There are faster men-that
is. more faster men-but there are not
nearly SO many good base runners for
Il reason that players of today do
not extend themselves along this line.
The good base Inn of the two
major leagues can be counted on your
fingers almost on the fingers OF II
hand. Consider cobb. Milan. Bescher.
Bush and one or two others. perhaps.
and the remaining players in the big
leagues are let out. Ten or twenty
years ago there We're lots of men who
We're good on the paths.
1T is my opinion that baseball will
show it's greatest improvement in fu-
ture year as men develop as base
stealers. Stealing bases is not a nat
ural ability. 1t is acquired"

The man who really gets the best

every ball goes and what each player

At some Of the mothers meetings at
Chautauqua in the summer of 1895
Mrs. Theodore Mcclellan Rirney Of
Washington advocated the organiza-
ton Of a national mothers congress
and in graphic language outlined its
scope of usefulness. The suggestion
was received with such favor that it
was evident at the time the thought

Seventeenth Conference This Month.
Two years later. in February. 1897,
the National Congress Of Mothers ef-
1ected organization in Washington and
elected officers. Out of this nucleus
grew the great movement for child
welfare which is represented by this
body Of serious minded women.
Glowing reports were made at the
seventeenth annual conference in RoS-
ton, held May 1920 last, and plans
were adopted for increased activity.

as did Mrs. Mary Low Dickinson.
Mrs. RirIey issued this appeal:
To the mothers Of America and to all
men and women who love their country l
make an earnest appeal that they join in
this movement in the interests Of humanity
and the highest development Of child life.
Widespread Interest had been arous-
ed. and when the first session Of the
WOmen interested in the movement as

Cleveland.
In her opening address Mrs. Rirney
said: Bachelor or maid. father or
mother, You are all most welcome.
The love IF childhood is a common tie
which should unite us in hottest pur-
pose"
Upon that ground the session pro-
