FARM BOYS IN BASEBALL.

THE other day inquired of a ma jor
league manager what class of young
men he wanted for his team" writes
Hugh S. Fullerton in Farm and Fire
side.
"'Give me the farmer he replied in,
stantly. The chances for his falling
victim to the temptations of baseball
az fewer. He may not be as well
posted as to city ways, but in one sea-
son you cannot tell the difference
They come larger. stronger, live clean,
err and think more clearly than city
boys do. Besides, the majority of them
have the right idea In view. They
want to get money to buy a farm.
Twenty, yes. ten years ago the ma
jor league baseball teams were recruit
ed almost entirely from the larger
cities. Cincinnati led In production for
years, then Boston, then st. Louis,
A dozen years ago so per cent Of the
major league players hailed from New
England and from the Atlantic states.
Now more than 60 per cent Of all
major league players come from farms
or from small villages, and the farms
produce greater number Of good
players than come from any other
place.
"'Rube waddell, Rube Vanguard,
RUDE Ellis, RUDE Benton-a score of
rubes have shows In major league

Of major league baseball teams are
looking for rubes, and when they say
Rube they mean, not the uncouth or
the awkward recruit, but the clean
cut, clean living boy from the farm "

No Charity In Plan.

"The principal employees are sub

same rules and discipline, and they can
be dismissed for incompetency, mis-
conduct or any other cause. But IL
they are discharged or forced to resign
they have the right to appeal to their
own board Of directors. and the deci-
sion Of this board will be final.
"There Is no charity involved in this
scheme. We are not giving the en-
ployees anything. We are simply get
ting away from the curse Of absentee
ownership. The employees live right
by the factory, and the directors will
be Of their number.

I am interested in labor questions, in
equal suffrage, in a number of outside
things, but the greatest interest have

II don't think that women, even If
they had the vote, would make this old
world radically better. They aren't
any better than men. Some of the suf-

They can't. Men are not inferior to
women.
