other american League contender, ana II tney shouu
enter battle with the fire and spirit and rushing ag
gressveness Of the Braves there would be nothing else
TO it.
But the Red Sox being more mature macnne
than the Braves are not generally aggressive The
older machine gets in this game the less inclined IS
to get out and hustle-the inclined it is to adopt
the ringing motto-SAFETY FIRST.
Youth-Prime-Age.
Baseball Youth extends from 20 to %; the Prime OF
the game is from 25 to go and after 30 Age sits in
Middleage to 35 and Old Age from 35 on.
Ambition is rampant from 20 to 25 from 20 to 30 it
is still there but more subdued After 80 1t is
ally matter, save among the exceptional few, Of
pikng along to the finish and preserving the status
Of ones arm or legs as far as possible.
A Few Wherefores.
The Braves are as strong in skill and general
physical ability as any rival club. And they the
most ambitious most aggressive machine in the game
by an extended margin. Which is why like their
chances best.
The Red Sox are not particularly ambitious ag
gressve but they better balanced in all depart
ments than any other American League rival they are
better arrayed in combined offensive and defensive play
with fine pitching staff and good making out
fit. That is why esteem their outlook beyond that
of White Sox, Senators, Tigers, etc.

The Scribe's Rebuttal.

(The same being more or less Of an annual Opening
Day outburst.)
Don't ask me whdt this cheering 70,
The jeering that is nearing is,
The uocdtistic pdtter and the chatter Of tho day;
Don't ask me whdt the shouts about,
The robble-tinted rout's about,
Nor all the hectic frenzy at tho zenith Of its play;
Don't ask me, pal, haven't tims
To tell you IN this rhyme,
To break the neCs, though gently
From my busy working shelf;
I'd like to put you merit to it
To furnish you the tert to it,
Bat something's bound to happen
And I'm headed there myself.
Don't ask me tchdt this hotclinq is
This smear Of grotcling, scoWling u.s.
The volcdnistc, cdtdcylstic tumuh in the air;
Nor what the baly frenzy is,
The thoror- strained cadenzv is,
Nor Uhy nation suddenly is tearing out its hair;
Don't ask me, pal I'm busy notU-
The ooze has reeked my clammy brow,
And space today is precious
SO I cannot tip the sign;
I'd like to, in the grist Of Il,
Al least slip you the gist Of it,
But something's framed to happen,
And think it's in my line.

A WORD OF FAREWELL.

do not feel that we should leave
Bryan without an expression Of APP
probation for all the kindnesses
shown us while here.
Bryan is one OF the prettiest Of the
smaller cities / have seen. Your
broad streets, splendid business
houses, lovely trees and elegant resi-
dences are very attractive to the
strangers eye.
You have two worthy academies in
the Bryan Baptist Academy and Allen
Academy, with Christian faculties
and a student body OF earnest, honest
young people.
You have a splendid high school,
manned by those OF high moral ideals.
Your A. & NJ. College is one Of the
best equipped institutions have
found anywhere.
The young people from these in
stitutions OF learning are to be the
future citizens Of our great common
wealth. They should. therefore, have
the very best environment possible
during these years Of preparation.
Many of these young people are
away from home, among comparative
strangers. The citizens Of Bfyan
should make II as hard as possible
for these young people to do wrong
and as easy as possible for them to
do right.
Every man who thinks logically and
loves his country must know that
schools. churches and saloons will
not mix. The school and the church
stand for the betterment OF man; the
saloon and the gambling den stand
for the overthrow OF all that is true
and beautiful in life and character.
The thirteen saloons of Bryan are
thirteen vampires and they are here
to suck the blood from the bodies
and souls of your young men and
women. II is too late in the day for
any intelligent man to argue that
saloons help business; they only help
the business OF blighting and cursing
hearts and homes.
beg the good people of Bryan to
rise up in a gigantic organized effort
and put the demon of the rum power
out Of your city.
Mrs. Palmer and ! desire TO thank
all the good people OF Bryan for every
courtesy shown us.
We also thank you, brother editor,
for the space you so freely gave for
reports of our meeting.
We go from here to the meeting Of
the Southern Baptist Convention at
/ Houston. From there Mrs. Palmer
and Moves go to Montana and thence
to Oregon for the summer. 20 to
the First Baptist Church Of Little
Rock, Ark, to conduct special meet.
