Fabre was then so poor that he had not
sufficient money to remove his belongings
His salary had always been small and he
had spent 1t all in support of his family and
in carrying on his observations and expert

Stuart Mill, then a member Of the British
Parliament, with whom he had lived on

THE PITCHERS
HALL OF FAME
Slab Artists Within the Memory of
the Oldest Fan-What Became
of Them When Their Dia-
mond Days Were Over
By THEODORE EDWARDS

WHAT becomes of all the great pitchers
w who thrill the baseball populace for a
day? That depends upon the age in which
they lived. II man won his fame in the
period from 20 to 40 years ago he prob
ably went back penniless to manual labor
whence he came else he found an early
grave from dissipation and drink But IL he
was fortunate enough to make his baseball
tame within the last score of years, he may
stu be drawing a good salary from some
club treasury. Or he may be enjoying pros
perity as a successful dentist physician,
teacher or business man. Some Of the heroes
OF the mound we have even sent to Congress,
one S an Ex-Governor Of our own state,
while those who have been elected to munic-
ipal offices are too numerous to mention.
A. @. Spalding when he died, a few weeks
ago, was head of the great sporting goods
house which still bears his name. He was
one of the few men who won nationwide
fame on the diamond lin the earlier period,
was absolutely unspoiled by II and then fol-
lowed II up with even greater fame in the
business world. Spalding jumped into the
llmelight as 17-year-old boy with the Rock
ford, ILL.,, Club, wav back in 1867. Talk about
the endurance of the modern twirlng giants!
Even Alexander the Great couldn't duplicate
Spaldings performances. Just consider what
this original iron man did in the early '70s.
During that period he member Of the
Boston Nationals, and he won the league
championship for his team four years in sue
cesson. He was Boston's only pitcher and
he twirled every game the team played,
though in those days games were scheduled
only every other day and the season was
shorter than it is now.

A million years-how that thought stays!
I'd love to walk in these same ways
A million years. and years. and years.
Why there'd be music for my ears
That they would bend for even thenl
TO hear the mocking birds again,
To hear the whisper In the trees.
To hear the booming OF the bees.
To hear the laughter OF a child
why all the music that is piled
In music racks here, everywhere.

For one small moment with the note
OF gladness IN baby's throat.

they must keep on winning to keep on

are the gamest and bravest of teams. What
man can do they will do today Not even
the Red Sox can do more.

THOSE THAT ARE FOR AMERICA"

TNHE Presidents speech to the assembled
l. Daughters of the American Revolution
contained no more sympathetic and incisive
passage than that in which he declared his
firm faith in the American citizens of for
egn birth or descent.
There has been far too much agitation
concerning the "hyphenates' They are few
in number and not too potent in influence.
They are, as the President said, tremendously
vocal, Mr.. Wilson is right in declaring that
they should stand TO one side and let those
that for America" stand on the other.
Pleasure in the sane view of the Executive
is made even greater by the excesses of those
whom he criticised. On the cover of The
Fatherland of october 10 appears this legend:
This IS a magazine for Hyphenated Ameri-
cans" The Fatherland is confessedly pub
lished in the interests of Germany yet 1t
defends itself by saying that 80 per cent. OF
the American people are hyphenated and in
slsts that for this majority The Fatherland
is published.
One wonders what is the precise degree OF
pleasure taken in The Fatherland by Ameri-
cans of French and English and Belgian
extraction. Then one is consoled by the
thought that the President is right. The
Fatherland does not speak for German-Amer-
icans but for Germany. There can be but
one loyalty among us-to America first, last
and all the time.

COMBINATION VERSUS COMPETITION

DIGNEss is not necessarily greatness. The
- men who are planning to unite the Medi-
-Chirurgical College with the medical
school of the University of Pennsylvania are
doubtless aware of this But conditions are
now favorable for a union of these two great
schools to the advantage of each. The city
is about to take the buildings of one of them
TO make room for the Parkway, and it will
give for them a sum large enough to pay for
erecting a new group of modern buildings,
which, IL combined with the buildings that
the University has or is ready to put up,
would provide ample accommodations for a
school superior TO either.

Sunday morning at the Methodist
church, Rev. Vermillya gave a very
able sermon, his topic being "The Pre-.
natal Duties and Growing Children" !"
Rev. Vermillya emphasized the fact of
home the chief interest to the child
that home is the best place for them
and that thought should be the iner-
most thought. He also spoke of the
necessity of giving ever child a task
although it be light one, and that
much could be accomplished if the
children were put to bed early and
keeping them off the street at night.
Rev. Vermilya called the attention Of
guarding the moral and religious char.
acter of the child and of the import
ance of moral and religious home en-
vironment. The thought of physical
development was also spoken of, and
altogether the sermon was of especial
interest to parents. The topic for the
evening was Twill There be a Place
for the church in the Future, and
What Will be it's Chief Function" and
the subject was along the lines of the
future church. At the morning service
the choir furnished special music.
