PUT SOUL IN YOUR WORK

From the Christian Herald.
 In the death of Auguste Rodin, the famous sculptor, not only the world of art but the thinking portion of the en- tire human family loses a memebr who made his genius a means of cultivating thought to a greater extent than any other artist of his day.
 A capable critic has summarized his efforts in this respect by enumerating five of his productions: Adam" Eve" "The Bronze Age,'' The Thinker" and John the Baptist" Each of these mar vicious masterpieces possesses the power of conveying to the mind of the observer the inmost thought, the very spirit of the worker who evolved them. One sees in Adam" the new reflection of mighty problem dawning upon a new found intelligence. "The Baptist is an embodiment of spiritual exalta- rion, and is almost the living express sion of a burning zeal to give a great message to men. "The Thinker'Ais g being who, absorbed in reflection, seems to be pondering the great prob lem or the whence ana WHerelore ol human existence. The Bronze Age" man seems to interrogate the skies he would let him know in some way that he had been stung. He waited and just as good-by was said. the host. as if thinking out serious problem. venteured the remark that the trouble with the country was that i've eat too much.'' And he was right. Let's pray often. but do not let's forget to also fast occa- sionally.

team was managed by Joe Birming-

In one game Blnckburne fumbled Il
grOunder with Il man on third base and
failed to throw the ball home.
"You remind me of Johnny Evers,"
said Birmingham, recalling the famous
incident of the world series between
the Braves and Athletics when Evers'
failure to throw home after making Il
tumble enabled Eddie Murphy to score
from second base.

to put out runner. He held the ball

MAKING GOOD AT GOLF
Ball Players Succumb to Lure Of
Scottish Sport.
Several Excellent Golfers Recruited
From Ranks Of Diamond Stars
John Ward and Arthur shafer
Are Most Prominent.

That good baseball player may
also be good golfer is being proved
with increasing frequency as more and
more ball players succumb to the lure
Of the royal and ancient game I'm their
leisure hours. Several excellent golf
ers have been recruited from the ranks
of the stars of the diamond and there
are said to be many more in the proc
ess of development, for 1t takes time
to develop golfer.
Two names stand out when the golf
ing ball players are named. One Is
the veteran, John Montgomery Ward,
manager of the Giants more than q
score of years ago. and the other is
Arthur Shafer, who played with the
Giants only few seasons back. Both
Ward and Shafcr are amateur golfers,
having been formally reinstated by the
United States Golf association after
producing legal proof that they had
fOrsaken professional sport, ind swear
Ing that they did not intend to return
to It mt any time in the future.
Both are good golfers, too, and a
meeting between them would be an in.
teresting struggle. Ward plays his golf
right In the metropolitan district and
generally dlspOses of one or two Of the
younger stars In every tournament
which he enters. Shafer Is n member
of California club and Is rated mt five
on the handicap list Of the Southern
California Golf association. He has
been u prominent figure In recent tour
neys on the Pacific coast, although he
has been playing golf only couple Of
years.
Everybody knows that Christy Math-
ewsOn plays golf and does pretty well
Mt the game, although he Is fur from
being In the class with Ward and Shat.
er. Chief Bender Is about on a par
with Matty, although he Is said to be
extremely erratic, playing well one day
and wretchedly the next.
Among the managers-nOt counting
Matty, who Is SO young manager that
he needn't be grouped with them yet
Connie Mack and Hugh Jennings IRE
the most ardent golfers, and John Nc.
Graw has tried to play the game two
or three times, with what success no
one knows who was not with him on
those occasions.
Two great batters who play golf
and play 1t as they bat-left hand
are Tyrus Cobb and Eddie Collins.
Grover Cleveland Alexander Of the
Phillies has habit Of preparing for
u hard ball game by INDUCING in q
round Of the links, and others Of lesser
fame with similar habits IRE Charles
Doom, Hans LObart, Harry Davis
Sherwood Magee, Jack Lapp, Jimmy
Walsh, Earl More, Otto Knabe, George
McQuillan, and among the veterans
Adrian G. Arson, who, like Ward ant
Shafer, has been reinstated by the
United States Golf association.

TWO.YEAR.0LD RACERS
Barring Of Youngsters Until April
I Creates Comment.
Arguments Pro and Con Are Advanced
and Its Expedieney viii Be Test.
ee--opinion Of Judge Mel.
son of Canada.

The barring of two-year-old racers
until April 1 has created quite lot
of comment.
The thoroughbred association made
a protest to the Kentucky racing com.
mission. but their protest came too
late. The rule was under considera-
ton for many months and no one
came forward to offer word of pro-
test II remained for Joe Murphy to
make the protest. and then he only did
so when he found out that 1t was
necessary for two.year-old races ut his
winter track.
In rapid succession the other winter
tracks announced racing for twO-yeur-
Olds. and races for horses of this age
are now being held.
Judge Francis Nelson of Canada be-
lievcs the rule should have fair trial.
and says so In the following words:
"As the age of u thoroughbred horse
Is calculated from January ] In the
year In which he Is fOuled. all of the
1916 yearlings are now ranked as two
ycar-olds, and the opportunity arrives
for racing by those that are not intend
ed to be kept for engagements I'm the
territories governed by the Canadian
Racing association, Jockey club and
Kentucky racing commission regula-
tiOns. II Is In these regions that the
most valuable purses are offered and
the best horses seen In action.
"Some owners will undoubtedly ac-
cept the penalty of exclusion from
these regions for Il season for their
youngsters. but we may be sure the
risk will not be taken with those they
think most of. So long as the rule re-
fusing the entry during their two.year-
old year of horses that have raced
prior TO April l Is on the books 1t
will be pretty generally observed.
''NO sound reason could be advanced
for the early racing of two-year.olds;
I'm fact, so fur rs its effect on the ami
nal Is concerned. none but a negative
reason hus ever been offered. Breed
ers and owners seeking increased
prices and early returns for their in
vestments naturally IRE not pleased
with the application of the first prac-
teal and presumably effective regula-
ton on the subject ;Program makers
ut winter meetings who would have
one event taken AWAY from their ma
terial every day, and race-cOurse man.
ugers who would find much of their
stablIng taken up by horses not meant
| to race till spring. likewise find the
regulation irksome, but hOrsemen are
coming to not only accept but to ex.
press the view that the measure Is EN-
titled to fair trial, In view Of Its
promise for the general good of breed
ing"

THEN CHIEF MEYERS TANNED
Manager McGraw Got Indians Goat
by Referring to Way In Which
ex.Giant Lost Money.

Several years ago, when Chief Mey-
ers was II Giant, he asked Christy
Mathewson to advise him how to in
vest some money.
BUY Rock Island!" was Matty's re-
ply. So the chief put up $1,000 only
to see the stock drop to nothing. OF
course, the Indian, who loves his dol
lars, was bitterly disappointed. He
couldn't talk to Matty without showing
his feelings.
Last spring when Meyers had been
sold to the BrOoklyns Matty faced him
In a game at the Polo grounds. As
the Indian came to bat, McGraw, who
was eager to disconcert him, shouted
from the bench:
"Matty, pitch the chief that Rock Is
land fade away"
The chief then carved the air.

slapping his face and in other ways

At last George came to with jerk,
and when Dime called to him, he
seemed ms though he woke with Il start,
for he said:
Hello! What's wrOngf'
Dime smiled II sad grim smile, and
replied:
you've been knocked OUT
Chip looked at Dime for few Sec
Onds and then grinned:
"Quit trying to kid me, Jimmy" he
said. "IIow could l be knocked out
when the fight doesn't begin until to-
night?"
Dime had quite time convincing
the stupciied Chip that he wasn't In
his own bed on the morning before the
fight, but that he actually was on che
floor of the ring In which Darcy Had
dealt out to him such II crushing de-
feat.
