SUCCESS At THE BAT.

guess che Pitcher.

70 " Ncs AcQ0HOo py 0xTsNtNS 70 VNS"
guess che Pitcher.
The batter who tries to outguesS Q
pitcher is making a big mistake. He
should try to figure out what the
hurler probably win do. but at the
same time should be set aud ready for
anything and prepared to shift at short
notice. Making Us your mind in ad-
vance that you are going to hit a GER
tain ball and then swinging at it re-
CARELESS of where it mey come will
never get you into the 300 class.
Let me caution every young player
against acquiring the bad habit Of try
ing to kill" the ball. Thousands Of
fellows who might otherwise have be-
come good batters have been ruined be-
cause they wanted to knock a home
run every time up II you meet the
ball squarely and get the right amount
Of snap in your swing you do not
need to take wjndup and lunge at 1t
with all your might.
There is lot of life In baseball,
and when you hit it ION the nose" you
don't need all your weight behind the
bat If you take care to apply your
power at the right moment, so that
you will get the ball well out In front
of you at the point where your swing
is fastest and most powerful, the dis
lance and speed will take care of them
selves.
There never was great hitter yet
that swung with I'LL his might all the
time. You may Argue that the harder
you poke the ball the longer distance
you will get, but the trouble Is that 1t
Is practically impossible to time your
blow properly and hit the ball square
Iy when you take ''washerwoman's
swing" Once in hundred times you
might happen to do SO, but the other
ninety-nine times you would Just be
making yourself ridiculous.
And no player is Of much value to
his team If he gets home run once
year and either fans or sends up easy
dies or rolls feeble gTounders the rest
Of the time.
Every man must in way be his own
trainer in baseball--Ty Cobb in Amer

CIGARETTE BUSTED
By DRASTIC ORDER
Police Instructed to Stop Its Sale, Starting
Sunday. Close CigaiI Stands. Ir1pOss'ii-: ...
BE 70 GET Smoke Oh Sunday.

Not only has the sale Of cigarettes
in Memphis been declared Illegal
but cigar and pipe smokers will not
be able to purchase tobacco in any
form Sunday under the latest order
issued to the police last night. The
order is to close the cigar stands
throughout Sunday and to keep them
closed.
Cigarettes are forever under the
ban so long as the state statute
against them remains on the books,
In an opinion to Fire and Police Com
missioner Geo. c. Love, City Attor-
new Henry J. Livingstone stated Fri
day that the sale of cigarettes is il
legal in this state. This also applies
to cigarette papers. Neither of these
commodities may be even offered for
sale, or given away, kept in stock or
otherwise disposed of. Neither may
they be brought into the state Tor
any purpose whatsoever. Violation
of the law is a misdemeanor and sub
jects the offender to a fine OF not
lessethan $50.
Orders to enforce the anti-ciga.
rette law were given to the police
by Inspector Hayes, acting under or
ders from Chief Quinlan. They vii
be enforced to the letter, both off
Gals declared.
Sunday shows-both vaudeville
and movie houses-will not be per
mitted to run either, despite the fact
that the city attorney is inclined t.
stick to his opinion, given some
months ago, that if they donated
their net profits to charity they could
under the law operate on the Sab
bath. The police department, act
ing directly under the orders Of
Mayor Litty and the police and fire
commissioner, have received positive
instructions to arrest any theatrica
manager or owner who tries to show
Sunday.-Commercial Appeal.

A car driven by Mr.. Garner, living
north of Dresden, overturned on the
levee, just north of Dresden, on last
Friday afternoon, spilling the seven
or eight occupants.
Mr.. Garner started up the big red
hill, but the car got out of whack go
ing through the deep sand, and he
started to back to town, the forward
gear refusing to work, we under
stand, and while backing across the
long levee he got too near the edge,

used to hearing our country called
the melting pot It is Interesting to
know that in South America. Argen-
tine is called the melting pot of the
world. Of her six million inhabitants
more than half are foreign born. The
story Of the opportunities she offers
to young women with business ex-
perience Is most alluring. But the
girls who come from other countries
find it hard to secure even living &C
commodations and their greatest need
is for the friendship such as the Y.
w. c. A. can give them. The Y. W.
G. A. in Buenos Aires is the only one
in South America.
1t is a land under the burden OF
superstition, ignorance and immor-
ality, with people trained to have a
disdain for labor, contempt for bust
ness and to court social exclusive
ness. Three out of every four people
can neither read nor write. So great
is the neglect of public hygiene that
only one child out of every four az
tains the age of two years.
Miss Cortez is a Mexican woman
and so understands the South Ameri-
can woman as a foreigner could not.
She is full Of wonderful stories and
interesting glimpses into tAe future.
Every woman in Keokuk should hear
her.
