SEATON IS PITCHING STAR
FIELDING AIDS WORK

BY Mark Shields
Evidently Napoleon Rucker, Brooks
lyn's veteran left-handed pitcher, is
not one of the myriad readers of our
daily output of imperishable Literal
ture.
Yesterday we indited a yarn to the
effect that Nap was one of those who
were, but are not We labeled him
through for all general purposes and
did not think Manager Robinson
would start him against such clout-
ing aggregation as the North Siders
have proved themselves.
But Robbie and Nap refused to be
convinced and the veteran sat in for
six innings. Then Leslie Mann,
Heinie Zimmerman and Vic Safer
added the argument of their bats to
that of our prolific type mill and Nap
and his boss were convinced it
wasn't a good day.
But for three innings Rucker Slow
balled the Cubs to death. He pos
sessed a slow curve that completely
baffled the locals and Cy Williams
famed twice But the Cubs became
wise to the fact that Rucker had
only this slow ball with which to do
business and lacked the speed to give
him change of pace, without which
a slow ball, no matter how we'll con-
trOlled, is valueless.
Then they timed their blows and
some collective hitting by Mann, Zim
and Safer brought on Larry Cheney.
Rucker will undoubtedly do some
more pitching this season, but he will
not be a regular His style is Just
suited for relief work when the op-
position has begun to hit fast balls
of some right-handed sIabman. And
it is only effective against a. team
that carries the heaviest part of its
artillery In left-handed batsmen. as

STREET SIGNS ARE
DUE TO ROTARY

A thousand street-name signs uni
formly placed 1.-TWO at each of 500
street intersections), a real service
rendered which will receive daily APP
probation and a community with a
new viewpoint of the real aims of
Rotary: These are some of the re-
suits attained by the observance of
"Civic Service day" by the Rotary
club Of San Jose, Calf.
The work was wonderfully system
atized. The preliminary arrange
ments were so perfected under the
craftsmanship of John D. Kuster,
manager of the Pacific Gas and Elec-
trio company that less than three
hours were needed by the seventy
Rotarians to put up all of the street.
name signs.
Mr.. Kuster had engineers in his
office prepare individual blueprints,
each descriptive of territory to be
covered by a Rotarian and setting
forth exact. plans and specifications
for the placing of each sign. When
these plans were distributed to the
Rotarians each member knew just
what kind of a standard he would
have to tackle, whether it was of
! iron or wood, whether it was square,
round or tapering.
The work was thoroughly explained
to the Rotarians at luncheon.
Chairman Kuster addressed them and
gave practical demonstration of
sign placing in the dining room.
He stated that each Rotarian
should complete his work as rapidly
as possible according to specifica-
tons in his individual blueprint and
then turn in a work-card at the Of
flee of Charles NJ. O'Brien, president
of the club.
A committee consisting of City
Engineer Milton Maggini and County
Engineer Ryder would then INSPECT
the work and award two prizes-one
for the man doing the fastest and
best work and the other for the mar
doing the sIowest work. However
the engineers would take into con.
sideration, in making the awards
just what conditions each competitor

selection are high and rigid but dem
ocratic. Election is recognition Of:
a. Character.
b. Proven ability.
c. Good citizenship.
2. Its variety. By an unique meth
cd Of selection Of. members, Rotary
has within It's ranks greater variety
Of activities represented than. any
sother organization which Is small
enough TO preserve the personal touch
between all Of its members. Hence
It appeals to all interests. It is the
community in miniature, q cross sec
ton.
8. It's dignity. The principle of Sc
lection Of members which picks one
representative from each of the con-
nunity's various activities makes that
representative feel that he bears the
responsibility of representing his
business or profession ably anc
worthily. He is an ambassador.

1ciation with men Of proven success
creates a spirit Of emulation and &

5. It's fellowship. The noncompeti

business relations. The knowledge

THE APPEAL OF ROTARY

lection which its fellowship creates
gives every member a sense of the
power which resides in the united
viii and effort of two hundred able.
and influential men. The knowledge
that the influence of Rotary is at the
service of its members when need
arises, in its turn creates loyalty.
z. It's fun. Because of the freedom
from restraint and the good fellow
ship within Rotary it is possible to
have an atmosphere Of boyishness
and fun which is natural and I'M
forced.
8. It's direct personal touch. The
club adopts many devices to make
friendships easily begun and confines
the number Of members in the club
to the natural limits OF individual
acquaintanceship.
9. It's idealism. Rotary is the first
organized effort to introduce the pro-
fessional spirit into business life as
whole The fact that it has trild
to formulate a code of ethics is evil
dence of this fact. The professional
spirit within any group implies the
following:
a. Useful service to society, not fol-
profit alone, but for love of the pro-
fession and for humanity.
b. An organized body OF knowledge
las a basis.
c. Definite standards of efficiency
d. Definite standards of persona,
and professional conduct.
e. Esprit de corps. Loyalty to bus
mess or profession and faith in its
service.

WHY HAS IT BEEN
GIVEN THE NAME
:. OF. ROTARY CLUB?

- tes1s 7Fasssasss E
e is a name that has come down
to us from earliest days. One
writer has said that the original Ro-
tary club was so called because it
was homeless organization. 1t is
true that the first club had no fixed
meeting place or established head
quarters during its early history. In
the beginning it was decided that it
would be a good plan to meet each
time at office or place of business
of the members Of the club, doing
this in rotation until every members
office OF place Of business had been
visited. This gave +he club its
name. Then when the club got too
large for office meetings they de-
cided to hold evening dinner meetings
in rotation at the different hotels,
clubs and restaurants, thus rotating
about town and this added to the
popularity of the name.
The original club still adheres to
this policy as far as its evening
meetings are concerned. It is still
the Rotary Club of Chicago.
Quickly there were added to this
name other meanings and associa-
tions.~ The presiding at the meet
ings was rotated from one member to
another. A new member joining the
club was rotated along from one
member to another at his first meet
ing until he became acquainted with
everybody. The idea of rotation
seemed to carry with it an antithesis
of stagnation. Rotary means activi'
ty, power, harmony.
Another idea is the rotation Of ser,
vice or a good deed. II you have
one done to you in the club pass i
along. Do something for someons
else.
The Rotary Club increases men:

There have been a number of age,

are rapidly arriving at a comprehen
sion of the fact that all the inter
relations Of men are matter of-ser

are merely memoranda Indicating Of
the one hand that a service ha

thereby obtained the money. and OF

the money the holder can command
service from others.
When some primitive man, who
was living by digging up shell-fish
in the shore sands found that he
could exchange some of his she'll
fish for the fruits and nuts which
some other primitive man was gath
ering in the forestatoi sustain his ex-
istence, and they proceeded to ac-
complish such an exehaage; there
was the first example of service
from one man to another. All
trade, all commerce, all business of
today is nothing more than such an
exchange of commodities between
primitive men.
Hardly anyone would question the
fact that these primitive men ought
to have exchanged. their commodities
on the basis of the effort it requires
of each to secure them. Modern
business reduced to some similar SIM
pie question leads to the conclusion
that eventually the reward of men
must be worked out on the basis of
the service which they render. The
highwayman or the pick-pocket is a
criminal because he takes my money
without rendering any service to me
in return. Our civilization, our
business ethics, have not advanced
to the point where we can afford to
/ denounce all men who secure the
money of other men, without return
ing a satisfactory service for it, as
criminals for we are all creatures of
the circumstances and conditions OF
the age in which we live.
