to stage an internal struggle, the reg

Good weather prevailed again today,
and another combat is scheduled for
this afternoon. Tinker had every man
out this morning for long prac-

the time lost on account of the rainy
spell.
Fred Jackson, the lengthy first
baseman, is a little indisposed and

noon. He was on the sick list yester-
day and Beck and Kading did the first
basing for the two teams.
Recruit pitchers were used, Fisk
and Mcclure working for the regu-
lars, and Black and Watson for the
Blokes. Fisk was easily the best of
the quartet, and turned in five innings
of work that were all to the major
league. He allowed one hit, did moi

considered the best left-hander of all
time Waddell had a varied career
until the American League started
war on the National in 1901. He was
signed by Washington. At the end of
the season he went to the coast with
an all-star aggregation, and signed
with three teams, all of them advanc-
ing him money. When ordered to re-
port in the spring he told the man
ayers they would have to shake dice
for his services.
He started the season with Los An
geles, but tired of the coast and wrote
to Connie Mack for a chance. Mack
signed him, and then the RUDE began
a career that for wonderful pitching
and eccentric antics has never been
equaled.
He was the n1ainstay Of the Ath-
letic hurting corps, and any game he
was carded to pitch always drew
crowd. Mack knew how to handle the
big fellow. He was kidded along, his
faults we're condoned, and when he
preferred fishing to pitching Mack
made no objections.
Waddell reached the high mark Of
his career in 1906 when the Mack
men won the pennant. He was in
jured just before the worlds series,
and his absence made it easy for the
Giants to win the title During this
year he beat Cy Young, pitching for
Boston, 4 to 2, in twenty,inning
game. ..-
WaddeII remained with the Ath-
letics until 1908, when he was re-,
leased to the st. Louis Browns. Then
he started downhill. He was next
sent to Minneapolis of the American
Association, and last year Cantillon
was forced to let him go to the North
ern League. Illness forced him to
quit during the season.
The largest salary Waddell ever re-
ceived was $4,000 a year.

the woman who has affected this mode
of walking wonders why she has sud
denly developed heretofore unknown
bodily ills. why the black shadows un-
der her eyes refuse to disappear and
why she tires So easily.
4 famous teacher of physical culture
suggests the following test to indicate
proper poise. Stand opposite the edge
OF an open door. place the balls of the
feet, the front of the hip bones and
front of the shoulder against the door
with the head held so that the front or
the ear is on the same line.
OF course. you will feel unnatural m
this position. but try IL II You wouli
learn how to stand well After the
muscles are trained by constant Thought
they will unconsciously adjust them
selves.
Sitting correctly is OF quite as much
importance. To lean hack in chair
does not mean that you are not sitting
straight If the shoulders touch the
chair back, the lower part of the spine
should be still several inches from the
back. To lounge affects the position of
the organs and this in turn AFFECTS
| the health and beauty.
Ease and grace Of movements mean
that the muscles OF the body are un-
dev perfect control. Affectation and
| awkwardnesS usually have their origin
| in self-conSciOusness. well carried
head and perfect pOise of body means
a self-respect that commands respect.

Have Done With Hypocrisy!
Is to prostitute the gifts OF heart

for gold. even If within the pale of
the law, much better that some other
forms Of prostitution that we frown
on? Or is it not rather that these
are OUR ways Of making ignoble

Let us have done with hypocrisy
and then We will be in a position to

Let us remove the beam from our

from our brothers eye. Perhaps We
will find that the mote in his eye Is

Notes come from beams, some tiny

And so it is with prostitution, it is

That marriage Is possible door
Of escape from the exploitation OF
women is the first thought
1t is an entirely legitimate door.
Natural instincts lead girls to
want a home, husband, and chill
dren. If conditions. particularly
economic, were favorable to a
qualification of these desires, the
present question would be largely
settled.
But they have no one to give
them a debut and announce that
they are ready for this normal
period Of life. There is no chance
for them to spend the first year
Of their young womanhood in the
delightful experiences Of choosing
which of the many suitors they
may ultimately decide upon as a
husband.
The Psalm of Life.
The street and the moving picture
show is their only drawing room.
and the only way that they can an
nounce that they are at the SWARM
ing period is to make pitiful dis
play Of cheap inery which will ac-
centuate sex features. Many times
walking up the street I meet such
a girl. and everything. from the tip
of her cheap patent leather slipper
to the towering chicken feathers In
her hat, proclaim that she is on the
market. There is nothing comical in
this-it is the great psalm OF life.
Failing in this there is yet
Just one other way. She has
one other article that is salable
and, if a proper market is found,
may land her in the haven for
which she set sail-that is her
sex.
When girls are worth more in
houses of sin than they are in the
ordinary vocations that are open to
them why blame them for being
found in its purlieus? Why expect a
higher moral tone from these girls
than the legitimate business of the
country demands from its respect
able business men?
WHY blame Ine propTietresS for eN-
pIoitiny girls more than the owners
OF the factorie+where even the or
binary safeguards Of the girls lives
are neglected and thousands die by
fire because of the greed OF employ
ers-outside doors locked for fear

Ell n MAN who will not investi-

These are the words of
Abraham Lincoln. And if he we're alive
today he would take many a man ny
the hand and say: "You have surely in
vcstSated both sides of the question"
sIic would commend the work of the
present day mediator between labor and
capital who seeks to investigate both
sides of the question. Yet, he did not
mean that a mere Investigation, or a
knowledge of all the facts. made a man
honest: but, rather that his attitude
and actions, with such full knowledge,
marked the test.
After all. the broadncss of view that
admits of seeing the other side is the
one thing that makes for strength. The

You and Your Child
The Distinction Between Courage and Caution in
Training Children Against Fear.

the more likely is he to be fearless,
anS the more likely, also, is ne to be
cautious.
Fear as help in training is double
edged weapon. We have learned that
obedience based on fear will turn into
defiance at the critical point. Parents
who rule through a sympathetic under
standing and firm hold of the chi,d's
needs are far more successful than those
who arouse fear.
Don't Fnghten into Silence.
When child is doing some thing that
he should not be doing. or when he is
crying, it is a simple matter to frighten
him into silence or inaction. Untold
harm is often done in that way. Not
only is the child's physical wei being
affected-for We know that the effect
of fear upon the heart and glands is
very injurious-but the mental and
moral effects are often serious. 1t is
cruel as well as unintelligent to frighten
the baby and then taunt the boy be-
cause of his resulting cowardice.
We must try to teach our children 10
be fearless in action but cautious in
planning. They must have courage and
caution. both as result of ful er
knowledge of the world and its dangers.
