A Revelation to Cricketers.

The technique Of baseball is pro-
foundly interesting to the student of
the dynamics Of games. Some years
ago the bowling. or rather pitching"
was revolutionized. 1t was then made
legal to throw the ball. Hence the
wonderful armor which the catcher
wears. But mere pace o o gave way
to graduated pace and swerving. Never
in the history of sport has the human
hand shown such control over an ipa-
plement as the hand of a pitcher owe
the flight of the ball. Much super
stition has gathered round this and
many fabulous performances, corkscrew
swerves. swerves reversed. jumping
balls, and so forth. are on the lips of
crowds. Being allowed no run. as the
bowler is at cricket. the pitcher has
brought to a fine art the mechanism
Of position and delivery. The same Is
true Of the batter. who has to deal with
ft,ll pitches only, very different from
bouncing balls. The attitudes of these
men are a revelation to cr~icketers.-

The root of the trouble is not far to

cHEAPNEss OF HUMAN LIFE

While we are contemplating the
terrible Outpouring of blood on the
battlefields of Europe, we should not
forget that the taking of life is not
confined to wal and that We have a
very real ploblem here at home in the
protection of the lives of our citizens,
We are accustomed to regard the
United States as the safest place in
the world to live. Few of is would
be willing to admit offhand that life
is not as we'll protected here as in
other countries. This is mere patri-
otto pride which sometimes assumes
national virtues more or less non-ex-
istent. A comparison of statistics
upon homicides indicates that the life
of the ordinary inoffensive citizen is
a good deal less safe in the United
In London with it's 5000. 900 inhabi-
tants there were only 33 homi-
cides last year. There have been
years in which Kansas City could
show considerably more than half
that number, while a dozen American
cities, some of them with less than a
tenth of the population of London,
have outstripped the metropolis of the
world in murders. In Chicago, which
has a population of a little more than
one-third that of London, there were
this year twenty-five homicides in the
month of July alone. This was not
considered a very unusual record, nor
is Chicago considered a particularly
bloodthirsty city. We of the United
States hold life at q cheapness which
would appall the Briton or the Cont
mental in times of peace. Murder is
so common that only in exceptional
