There is general opinion that most nervous
ness expresses itself in form of activity. But
such is a mistake. There forms OF nervous
ness that may be developed by the most inactive.
One can be motionlcss for hours and yet in con
Stantly nervous state In other words wholly
without giving any outward manifestation. People
who worry are often very quiet. Their trouble is
that their mental attitude toward themselves is
wrong. Within there is no letting down, no rest.
What they need is the realization Of the impor-
lance of relaxing and most of all, OF forgetting
themselves. The most unwholesome of mental in
huences is self-absorption. 1t is only when get
away from ourselves that free. And there
is no freedom like the freedom that goes with alb
sorbng work done in healthy way.

There are people who go through life as if they
only make up those five minutes, life would be
smooth. But they never succeed. The truth is
that they don't plan ahead. They never make
being ahead OF time They enjoy the sense Of
avoiding waste. And yet, besides losing time, they
lose what is far precious, peace of mind,
poisc, enjoyment of the passing hours. In their
keeping others waiting, they find themselves in
volved in disagrccable relations. In those around
them and in themselves they create the spirit Of
resentment. Gradually they form the habit of be
ing in a nervous turmoil. 1t may persist even
when they quiet and create disorder and waste.
Some of them dread quiet, for the very reason
that in this state they are more alive to their
nervousness. In their hurry they have the decep-
tive sense of getting away from themselves.

MRS. BEUT|NGER IS.
HISTORICAL IN JAIL
y -
Charges Freebooter Denounced
Her Harshly When Board
Inspected the institution.

NEWARK, N. j., Nov. 12.-Judge Will
liam y. Martin and Jacob l.. Newman,
prosecutor, are Investigating the story
that Ernest Il. Ryman, director of the
board Of freeholdcrs. told Mrs. MARI
garet G. Beutinger he would have con-
vlcted her of the murder OF her hus-
band had he been on tho jury
The allegation further Is that Mr..
Ryman spoke so harshly to her that
she became hysterical In her cell and
required medical attention. The incl
dent occurred when the freeholders
made an official inspection of the jail
IL did speak to her. l said Ahat. II
had been on the jury l never would
have voted 70 acquit her." Mr.. Ryr1an
said when the matter was brought to
his attention. lie would add nothing
to this. ,
Mr.. Ryman. went to the jail the day
after his reelection as n freeholder In
company with other members of the
board.
Mrs. Hazel Fish. matron, accompanied
him when he went to the large cell
room where Mrs. ,Beutlinger is kept.
II Is alleged that Ne addressed her In
vigorous terms and that he told her
she ought TO suffer the. extreme pen
atty for the crime which she said she
committed in self-defense.
Mrs. Beutlnger sent for Robert II.
McCarter and Walter q. Brandley. her
counsel. when she recovered from her
Mysteries, and told them.
They laid the matter before the prose-
cutor and the Judge. In fear that II
would result in trouble In obtaining n
jury for the second trial II was kept
quiet. The prosecutor admitted that he
knew of II. but refused to say what
action would be taken. He did not
deny the story as told to him.
Mrs. Beutinger's retrial 10 to begin
November 20.
A petition signed by a number OF
women was presented to Mr.. Newman
asking him not TO oppose any motion
that might he made to admit her 10
ball pending her second trial.
The petition was given TO the prose
cutor by Elizabeth c. Sullivan and
Laetetia II. G. Gordon Smith. Mr.
Newman advised them that he. would
have to do his duty and oppose any
such motion.

Withdrawals From Beaten Sixteens

THE habit contracted by many we'll
 known golfers of dropping out of the beaten divisions of the various six teens is not beneficial to the game at large or to the golfers themselves in particular. When a player enters a tournament he has usually made pro- visions for remaining until the last day, in the expectation or the hope of get ting into, the final round. The various clubs are only too generous in provid- ing separate trophies for these beaten divisions, and a succession of defaults is not calculated to impress upon the tournament committee the advisability of purchasing similar unappreciated trophies on future occasions. The more golf each man plays at a tournament the more successful the tournament is and the more enjoyment the individuals derive from it. It is for this reason that the usual handicap event is played on the last day of the tournament, and

Number of BaSeballs Used
 In Game Varies Greatly

TNHE number of balls used in a cham
 plonShip game varies greatly. Sometimes only two or three are used during the entire contest, while on oth- CT occasions a dozen or even more may be called for. It is an extremely rare thing for a single ball to go all the way through a game.
 To baseball writer's knowledge this has happened only once at the Cincin- nati ball grounds in the past ten or twelve years. One afternoon in 1913, when Joe Tinker was manager of the Reds, a full nine inning game lasting nearly two hours was played with only one ball.
 Hank O'Day' was umpiring, and he called Manager Tinker's attention to the unusual incident after the contest was over. Tinker kept the ball which had lasted nine innings as a memento of the occurrence, which, he said, he had never observed before.
 The reason so many balls are used is not that they are worn out or torn to pieces, but that so many are batted out of the grounds or into the stands A league ball is guaranteed by the man ufacturers to last for a full nine inning game and retain it's shape and sub

Why Managers Cling to
 The Hit and Run Play

IN a game between Cincinnati and = Pittsburgh recently Bill Hinchman the heavy hitter of the Pirates, gave an illustration of why it is that mana CTS cling so closely to the hit and run play. Twice in one game-indeed, in successive times at bat-Bill advanced a base runner from first all the way around to third by dinky hits placed exactly right.
 In both cases he drove the ball through to right field just as Louden was going over to cover second base, the runner on first having started down .ts if to steal. Hinchman is more apt to hit to left field, and for that reason Louden was signed up to cover second in case of an attempted steal.
 >1inchman outguessed the Red de- fense both times, and his cleverness was good for run on each occasion That is the essence of the hit and run play which succeeds, and is a valuable attacking medium if the batter is able 10 hit the ball through the infield
 With such a good hitter as Hinchman up it often looks extremely good If the batter is clever enough to discover which man is going to cover second base and then hit the ball through his position he has turned stroke of poli- cy that may win the game for his team

stance. If 1t does not do so it will be replaced by new one without charge.
 But to avoid delays the rules provide that the umpire in charge of the game shall always have at least one ball in his possession besides the one that is in play. AS a matter of practice the umpire is always provided with three new balls before the start of the game. AS soon as a ball is knocked into the stands or over the fence he at once pro- vides the pitcher with another ball, which becomes the ball in play.
 If this ball is also knocked out of the grounds before the other is returned he asks for another ball from the man ager of the home team or whoever is acting as custodian of the balls. So he always has a fresh ball in his pocket, and the game is never delayed by wait ing until a ball Is returned from the stands. The official ball Is five ounces in weight and nine inches in circum- ference.
 The same ball Is used in both the Ma tional and American leagues, though it goes under a different name. Both of fcial balls are manufactured by the same firm, the only difference being in the stitching

NO SUCH THING AS PITCHERS
 BOX

NEARLY every baseball writer and fan talks of the pitchers box, all though there is no such animal. Many years ago the pitcher used to work from parallelogram, which was called his box, just as the batter's box is laid out today. But the pitchers box was eliminated long ago. There are no lines in the diamond to indicate where the pitcher must confine his efforts
 The modern hurler pitches from a slab or plate and not from a box. Slab man is, therefore, much better term for the hurler than boxman, though the latter term, for historical reasons, Is used The pitchers plate Is a slab of rubber 2 feet long by inches wide sunk into the diamond at distance of sixty and one-half feet from the rear corner of the home plate.
 The slab is placed with it's longitude extending across the diamond, and the front side of 1t is just shade more than three feet in front of a direct line connecting first and third bases. The pitcher, therefore, does not work from a point exactly in the center of the diamond, but he has the advantage of about three feet, being that much near CT the batter than he would be if the pitchers plate was laid right in the middle of the field.
 The only restriction on the pitcher in working is that he must keep one foot in contact with the plate until the ball leaves his hand. The plate is two feet long, and he can stand on either end or in the middle so long as one foot is touching the rubber.
 The pitcher used to work from a point much nearer the home plate than he does now. If the effectiveness of pitchers ever threatens to injure the game seriously by reducing batting to a minimum the simplest remedy will be to move back the pitchers plate three feet or more
New Britain herald., 1916-10-30

When successful the hit and run is vastly more valuable than any other form of attack. A sacrifice simply puts a runner on second at the expense of an out. A steal is risky, and if it goes through the runner has advanced only one base. But the hit and run, when going through just as hoped for, ad- vances a runner from first base to a scoring position at third, and at the same time puts the batter on first, without the expense of an out.
 It is small wonder that some mana gers go nutty about this play and at tempt it over and over again to the ex- clusion of all other forms of attack. The trouble with it is that the per centage of times that it really goes through as attempted is very small.
 The main objection to it is that it as often causes the batter to hit foolishly at bad balls which he has no chance to drive safely and that takes too much responsibility off the runner who does not try to steal for himself, but relies too much on the batter to help him out. When used with judgment and only with a batter up who knows what he is doing it is a valuable form of attack. When used too frequently and without regard to the caliber of the hitter it is a delusion and a snare.
