players should not forget that they
owe something to the game. No 9TH
er profession has been so kind to those
engaged in it as hiss baseball. The
players salaries have gone upward by
bounds, and yet they fall again to
where they started If public interest
in the game is marred.
Clarence o. Kraft was drafted from
the Nashville Southern association
last fall by Brooklyn.
After releasing Kraft to the Boston
Nationals this spring and later re-
calling him, according to officials of
the Nashville club, President Ebbets
of Brooklyn agreed to release the play
ers to Nashville under an optional
agreement only.
The Nashville club accepted the
proposition, but later formally with
drew their acceptance when the Brook
Ign club delayed in complying.
The Nashville club later heard that
Kraft had been released to Newark
of the International league.
President Shropshire of the Nash
vile club Immediately filed protest
with the national commission and
later was notified by President Herr
mann that Kraft had been awarded to
Nashville.

CAREER OF ROBERT H. VEACH
TIGERS Great Left Fielder Com
menced Playing With Peoria Club
Four Years Ago.

Robert II. Veach, left fielder of the
Detroit American league club, was
born in st. Charles, KY, on June 70,
1888. He started playing professional
ball with the Peoria club of the l. l. l.
league in 1910. When Veach joined
Peoria he was a pitcher and would
probably have still been pitching in
some minor league, had 1t not been
for an injury to a regular outfielder
that gave him chance to start in
at left field. During the 1911 sea-
son Veach did great work in the out
field and also pitched well when called
upon After Joining Indianapolis
Veach gave up pitching and concen-
trated himself upon learning to play
the outfield. Three months after he
joined Indianapolis Veach's release

Shoes for Soldiers.

A study of the orders given by Ma

to have sufficient supply of shoes
provided. On one occasion he wrote:
You know that shoes are always
needed in war;" and at another time
he said to Baron Lejeune: Shoes
help on marches, and marches win

thirty years of age, except In hoing
farther in the way they have started;
but It is a great comfort to think. that,
when one is young, it is almost as easy;
to acquire good habit as q bad one,
and that it is possible to be hardened
in goodness as well as in evil
Take good care of the first twenty;
years of your life, and you may hope
that the last twenty will take good
care of you.
How unfortunate that the science OF
habit-forming is not more generally
known by parents and taught in our
schools, colleges and universities. 1t
is science. compared with which
other departments of education sink
into insignificance.
Mans life work is a masterpiece or
a botch, according as each little habit
has been perfectly or carelessly
formed.
1t is said that if you invite one Of
the DEVILS children to your home the
whole family will follow So one bad
habit seems to have a relationship
with all the others. For instance, the
one habit of negligence, slovenliness;
makes it easier to form others equally
bad, until the entire character is honey
combed by the invasion of family of
bad habits.
A man is often shocked when he
suddenly discovers that he is consid
cred liar. He never dreamed of
forming such habit; but the little
Misrepresentation to gain some tenn
porary end had, before he was aware
of it, made beaten track in the nerps
and brain tissue, until lying has be-
come almost a physical necessity. He
thinks he can easily overcome this
habit, but he will not. He is bound to
his habit with cords of steel; and only
by painful, watchful and careful repeti-
ton of the exact truth, with special
effort OF the will power at each act,
can he form counter trunk line in
the nerve and brain tissue.
Society is often shocked by the GRIM
inal act of man who has always beer
considered upright and true. But If
they could examine the habit map in
his nervous mechanism and brain,
they would find the beginnings OF a
path leading directly to his deed, IL
the tiny repetitions of what he regard
ed as trivial acts. All expert and tech
nical education is built upon the theory
that these trunk lines of habit become
move and more sensitive to their &C
customed stimuli, and respond more
and more readily.
We are apt to overlook the physical
basis of habit Every repetition of an
act makes us more likely to perform
that act, and. discovers in our wonder
full mechanism tendency to perpetual
repetition, whose facility increases in
exact proportion to the repetition
Finally the original act becomes vol
untary from natural reaction.
All through our lives the brain is
constantly educating different parts Of
the body to form habits which will
work automatically from reflex action,
and thus is delegated to the nervous
system a large part of life's duties
This is natures wonderful economy tC
release the brain from the drudgery of
individual acts, and leave it free to
command all its forces for higher serv-
ice.
Men carelessly or playfully get into
habits of speech orsact which become
so natural that they speak or act as
they do not intend, to their discom-
future.

R,cky Not So Green.

Having acquired Bill Steele from
the st. Louis Cardinals. the Brooklyn
club has turned Pitcher Elmer Brown
over to Newark. Brown cost the
Brooklyn club $1,000 last fall, having
been purchased from Montgomery OF
the Southern league. At the time
there was much. criticism of brancn
Hickey because he did not take Brown
as he had an option on the Montsom

what he was about. and his critics
