All Stars of So. Saltwater and the
M.S.P's was the best exhibition of
the National game that has ever
been staged on the prison diamond.
True, there has been as good teams
here before and we have had some
finishes that were just as exciting.
But never before have we had the
pleasure of seeing two teams so
evenly matched fight it out to fin
ish just on their merit without the
Intervention of that goddess Luck.
While there was some loose playing
On both sides at the start, particu-
larily so on the part of the locals IN
the third, yet from the fourth to the
finish every one played the game all
the time for all it was worth.
The All Stars are a strong aggre-
cation and put up and ideal game.
Their weakest point is in the same
place as the locals and that is in
hitters, and yet is not 80 bad as to
cause any serious complaint. Carl
son, the Stars twirler did very good
work, but he was by no means up
to the standard of the local boxman.
His record for the game was ten
strike outs while he allowed eleven
safe hits and issued nine passes, sew
en- via the ball route and two hit bats
men.
The M.S.P. made splendid
showing and after the way they raj
lied in the fourth and fought it out
to victorious finish they not only
deserve credit, but as well they
have proved that they are gaining
confidence in their ability to meet all
comers and give a good account of
themselves. Acting manager, Bill
Alexander, has certainly whipped
the team into nice form and he
showed excellent judgement in the
selection of the lineup last Saturday,
for every man covered his position
in really credltable manner and il
would indeed be hard to improve
the personel of the line up at any
point, and each man played his po-
sition for nine innings. While there
were a few of the old faces missing
the substitutes proved by their
work that they are not only eligible
for the positions but are entitled to
them as they play a much superior
game in every way. Van, in the
box, made splendid showing, al
lowing the visitors but nine safe hits,
while he passed three on balls and
struck out nine. Carl as run get
ter would be hard to beat as he
made four of the seven tailed by
the home talent, and IN doing this
he stole seven bases.
With the team playing like they
did IN the last game there is no
reason why we can't pull to the top
of the pennant race by the end of
the season; our percentage to date
is $40.
Keck, as usual proved a very ef-
ficient umpire, handing out his de-
cisions in a quick, snappy manner
that left no opening for an argu-
ment. Of course he gets a good
deal of batting from the fans, but
such is always the unfortunate lot of
an umpire.
The weather was ideal for ball
playing as the sky was overcast and
there was no sun to interfere with
the fielding or pitching and it was
cool enough to allow plenty of ac-
tion.
In addition to the regular attend

Can q man reform? That is one
of the most discussed questions of
the day. and invariably no two an
swers are the same, but nevertheless
if man constantly starts out to ac
complish it, he most certainly can.
But he must start right and be pre-
pared to put all his strength into the
battle in order to win. Then you
may ask how is man to accom-
plish this and what does he have to
do?
First let us take up the meaning
of the word itself. To reform means
the act of making over. and as it
applies to men it means the re-
moulding of their lives; the casting
of their thoughts, words and ac-
tions on higher, and more noble
plane. 1t means that they must con-
tinually strive to put from them all
that is bad and to replace it with
good. That is, they must break
away from all connections which
have Influenced them to do evil and
form new ones that will enable them
to become honored and respected
in society.
Some men say that a man who
has served term in prison does
not get a chance TO reform; they say
that society does not want him and
has no use for him, but if you will
look little deeper you will find
that these men have come into con-
tact with, and have been influenced
by, some weak -kneed, narrow mind
ed specimen of humanity who con-.
tends that man who has fallen Is
down for good, and who. if given
the opportunity. will push him
down further. But can truthfully
say that this class of men is great
ly in the minority and society as
whole, should not be judged by their
contentious. Or perhaps these men
who claim they are not given a
chance have not earnestly tried to
help themselves.
1t is only natural that man on
learning your past history should,
at first, think twice before reposing
his confidence and trust in you. That
is the time I'd show him, not by
words, but by deeds, that he has
made mistake and if he is the right
kind of man he will be glad to ad-
NIT it. There are a lot of men in
this world who are not only willing
but anxious to help you. provided
of course, that you first show them
you deserve their help, to attain the
end for which you are striving. If
on the other hand you do nothing to
correct this erroneous impression,
which your past history has created.
then the people are perfectly just
flied in holding to it.
To make men honor and respect
you, you must first show them that
you are worthy of their honor and
respect. To do this you cannot
drift idly by with the tide. You
must fight, and fight hard. to stem
this current of wrong opinion and
eventually you will win. You can
not help but win. for you are fight
ing for a just cause and sooner or
later society is bound to acknowl-
edge it. Victory lies in the tenac-
ity and strength which you put into
the fight. If you could buy mans
respect for a dollar or two. You
would not value it very highly and
in all probability would not put
yourself to the trouble to get it, and
you would be right. The things
