Split Second Baseball Has The Call;
Players Who Add Speed in Demand
BY PAUL PURMlN.

An observing friend who accompanied
me 10 bah game last season watched
Chapman, leading base sicalcr Of the
Cleveland Indians. steal second base
with scaniy margin. iris Speaker
was ai bat.
Mter the umpire's decision had been
made be turned TO me and asked:
why did Speaker step 50 far back
or The baiter's box when Chapman
started 10 steal?'
The question interested me, because
not one fan In "a thousand would have
seen anything but the swlft-footed
Chapman
The fact is. That Speaker probably
has great deal TO do with Chspman's
wonderful base stealing record-Chap-
man beat out Ty Cobb this year on the
paths.
When he steps back Of the plate he
is pulling one OF the smoothest pieces
Of split second baseball in the game.
The step or two be takes throws the
catcher back just that much farther
10 is legal but 1t makes the pitcher
throw two or three feet farther TO the
catcher and the catcher throw as much
farther 10 second
Inc lraction or a second taken II
extra feet the ball must travel means
a great deal on a close decision u may
mean three feet 20 the baserunner and
three extra feet may mean an extra base
and ball game
It is one Of the little things in base
ball, seldom noticed by the fans in the
stands which makes the ballplayer
great instead OF merely mediocre.
Really great managers nowadays are
demanding speed and more speed. The
player who can cut a half a second of
run between bases is very valuable.
Most teams are managed on the
proposition Of run getting Few have
the defensive ability Of the Red Sox,
club which played for one or two runs
and depended on an ironclad defense
and wonderful pitching TO make those
runs win.
And the moment the defensive team
began TO crack-so slightly in fact that
baseball experts and wise managers
could not see that +, was cracking-iust
that moment a run getting team pro-
ceeded 10 knock the Red Sox out Of FIRST
place.

Way of
Suffering
BY REV. DR.. E. P. WEST
Baptist Pastor
Houston. Texas

"And as he passed by, he saw u man
blind from his birth. And his disciples
asked him. saying Rabbi, who sinned,
this man or his parents, that he should
be born blind? Jesus answered: Neither
did this man sin, nor his parents; but
that the works of God should be made
manifest In him."-John 9:1-3
The supreme doctrine Of Christianity
is undoubtedly the infinite love and di-
vine compassion of God as revealed In
his dear Son. Now, Christian thinkers
feel the palnfulness of pain and recOg-
niZe the seeming contradiction TO uni
ing, quite as frankly and poignantly as
the mos! cynical skeptic. Moreover, the
Christian faces the problems involved
with knowledge and cand0r, admitting
The mystery, acknowledging the alb
scnce of dogmatic answers to the
questions raised by suffering, and yet
urging an Interpretation as scientific,
philosophical and satisfying as unbelief
mas ever ulSpayeu.
Since God is the divine father, the
sulferings of his children are not to be
regarded as penal. All the guilt and
penalty Of sin was laid upon Jesus and
he put them away forever. We may
talk about chastisement or correction,
for our father deals with us as with
sons; or we may speak of reaplng the
results Of'mlstakes and sins dropped as
seeds in life's furrow in former years
or we may have to bear the conse-
quences Of the sins of others, but DO
not talk Of God furnishing his children
If God should punish us for our sins,
it would seem that the suiferings OF
Christ were incomplete and the heal
ing Of his stripes inadequate for our
peace.

An Extract From a Charge.

May the blessing of God be upon you
in II form Of grace which shall make
you always pastor indeed-"a good
shepherd that fcedeth the flock" n
good shepherd that giveth his life for
the sheep" that thinks, studies, medi-
tates, watches, prays, loves, lives, is
ready to die for God, for Christ, and
for the souls VI men. | beseech you
therefore by the mercles of God, be-
secch you by the name and blood of
him that died for us, that you love
your people with pure heart fervent-
ly. beseech you by the love Of Christ
that you seek that which is lost, bring
back that which Is gone astray, bind
up that which is broken, and strength
on that which is sick, and pray for
them always, without ceaslng, before
the throne of Godfrey. ]. c. Huske.

A Sticky Story,

Mr.. Barry Pain, the famous humor-
ist, Is as clever at telling good story
as he Is at writing one. Some time
ago he was present at a gathering OF
artists, and in the course of the eve
ming he rose to make n speech, Gen
tlemen," he said, being present at a
gathering in which art is so largely
represented, l feel 1t incumbent upon
me to say few words concerning the
subject of painting. Speaking person
ally, my only efforts In that direction
were on an occasion when l enameled
our bath. My friends said to me, MY
dear fellow, it's no good your going In
for painting unless you're prepared to
stick to your work Well" concluded

audience, 81 did."-LOndOn Tit-Blts.

God Revealed Through Pain.

The inmOst, utmost things of God are
revealed through pain. Afiliction Is the
breath of the finer spirit Of life. How
does God manifest his finest work In
patience? He takes a young life, full or
hope and promise, and shuts 1t in
small room to lnger through long
battle with ravaging disease, and
makes that room shrine where
earth's sorrOwlng hearts find consola-
tion through a great, rich, joyous, I'M
complaining, trans6gured life of holy
character. How does God manifest his
works of human tenderness? He
brcnthcs the dream of parenthood into
| two hearts that beat as one. The child
comes to gladden. all their days, but
| alas, she goes-and leaves grlefs fiery
| footprints behind. Then the Crttenden
rescue homes spring up TO girdle the
| earth with the glory Of human compass
sion. How does God manifest his great
work in service? He draws the curtain
and reveals the sordldness of sin and
the blight of Ignorance, crushing out
! the higher capabilities Of n human
race, to the eyes Of a passionate
Scotsman. David Livingstone lives,
loves and suffers in Africa-but his
grave becomes the cornerstone upon
which rests the temple of hope for a
benighted people. How does God man
! ifest his august work of sacrifice? lie
| lifts cross on n lonely hill and heaven
and earth stand still in awe and rever-
ence, while his dear Son climbs Its
summit and pours out his life as an
offering for peace. And who doubts
that in this awful present hour God Is
pointing America to the cross of sac
rifice? We must learn to bear the ma
tional cross before we are worthy to
wear the crown of national honor. Un-
spcakable Is the sacrifice we are
called lDon to make now in the world
struggle for justice. equality, liberty
and peace, but the making of such sac
rficc marks our people as worthy OF
the trust of power that God has given
us. Through the darkness of terrible
alllctlon we are sure to pass, but the
Jubilee of triumph shall finally be our
song
My friends. God Is not interested in
giving us easy and comfortable lives,
Individually or nationally. He Is con-
cerned to make us large and compre-
hensive souls. Afiliction Is heavens
challenge to us to try the resources of
our spirit even while we give God his
chance to manifest finer works than
are seen in the starry armament or the
marvels of mountains. Draw not back,
therefore, from the darkness, for

When God Probes.

God loves us too much to let what
would hurt us stay with us. SO, be-
cause of this love, he himself Is will
Ing to hurt us In order to save us from
the greater hurt. Probing Is done In
order to get rid of something that
would injure. And so, as Prebendary
Webster has said: "Do not be afraid
OF Gods probing. He never wounds
except to heal. He never humbles ex-
cept to exalt. Do let God deal with
you; do not be afraid of his probing"
Most of us have been afraid Of 1t; we
may be dreading 1t just now. We shall
not fear If we remember what kind Of
love is back Of It; that all-sacrificing
love that died for us on the cross. So
we can safely, gladly let ourselves so
utterly into his hands and ask those
nall-plerced hands to do with us what
they will. Then he can begin to show
us his love as we may never yet have
known the meaning OF love.-Sunday

Our Little Is Needed.

II only one Of the million flowers
that bloom In the summer days, in the
fields and gardens, refused to bloom
hiding Its gift Of beauty, the world
would be a little less lovely. If but
one Of the myriad stars In the heavens
should refuse to shine some night,
keeping its beam locked up in Its own
breast, the night would be a little dark
er. 1t makes vast difference
in the world whether the humblest Of
US be true or false in our life, whether
we sing our one little note right or
wrong, whether we speak our one lit
tie word, or keep silent. The smallest
bar of song, breathed into the world,
adds It's fragment to the worlds music.
The right thing you did yesterday
made the world little better, made 1t
easier, too, for other people to do right.
