The game is just like a business
The man who studies it, who is at
tentive, who is ambitious, who does
what's right, who gives the club all

the game and who will find that 1t
will pay him dividends as long as
any other line of work would.
Just consider for a moment how
many minor league clubs in this coun-
try are more than enxious to get a
man Of intelligence at good salary
to manage their clubs. Think of the
number of scouts employed by major
league clubs. There's room for every
man who is willing to try to advance
in his profession.
Il don't intend to sermonize, but
that's a plain statement of fact, and
conditions support my argument.
Don't think for minute that be-
lieve a ball player isn't entitled to a
healthy salary. On the contrary, be-
heve he is, and earns it. What Z
mean to convey is the idea that the
ball player should work for the future
just as the young fellow does in other
lines of work"

WOODPECKER ROBS A TOWN
Causes Short Circuit on Signal Wire'
Resulting iE Excessive
Water Bill.

1lwaco, Wash.-A woodpecker Il
blamed for large additions to Ilwaco's
bill for pumping city water.
The contract for filling the munich
pal reservoir is let to power com
pany and an electric Indicator notifies
the engineer when the required depth
Of water has been provided.
For some months the bill has been
regarded as excessive and the number
of hours required daily to fill the basin
has varied to marked degree.
Investigation has placed the blame
on an innocent woodpecker which
chose one wire for a perch and with
it's tail touching the other wire made
a short circuit so that the engineers
signal to stop pumping was con.
trolled by the woodpecker's rest rather
than the depth Of water provided.

~ UAYAQUIL. the largest por,
III and the chief commercial city
81 u of Ecuador, is located on the
W. west bank of the River Guayas
about seventy miles from the
sea, in a splendid situation. at the end
;of deep-water navigation, and at the
confluence of number of rivers that
spread over much of the country that
lies to the westward of the Andes,
says write: in the Pan American
Magazine.
Rounding a bend in the river we
pass a number of shipbuilding yards
and factories, and then, as our steam
er slowly draws up to her anchorage,
the whole of the busy water front Is
revealed to our view like the unrolling
of scene in panorama. Backed by
low hills. the city lies on a piece of
level ground in an open and beautiful
situation. stretching for several miles
by the side of the river, which is at
this point more than mile wide and
deep enough for steamers of consider
able size. The whole of the water front
is occupied by jetties and piers, where
craft Of many different types load and
discharge their cargoes, the twin
spires of the cathedral and numerous
churches stand up, white and cleaning
above the roofs of the houses, fine
buildings face the water, and on
wide thoroughfare between them and
the water streams of traffic pass to
and fro.
The first impression of Guayaquii
is that 1t is large and busy place,
with considerable local and foreign
trade-an impression that is fully con-
frmed by closer acquaintance. The
city is laid out in squares with streets
running parallel to the river inter-
sected by others at right angles to it,
buildings are large and in good style,
and there is general air of business
like activity. The streets, we'll cam
.bered and paved with blocks of gray
stone, are remarkably wide, many of
them are lined with trees, and the

Offices and stores, the latter exhibiting
splendid stocks of goods behind their

and trade are chiefly located on the
water front and in the streets in that
vicinity. The Malecon, one side occu-

the other open to the river, though no
