FAvoRIrE SPORTS OF TODAY
Baseball and Football Are Games
Evolved From Daily Work of
Our Forefathers.

Play is ancestral work. The things
our forefathers, near or remote, did
to live, we do for fun, muses. an ex-
change. Away back in the dim dis
tance, they lived by hunting-and by
lodging the creatures which were
hunting them. In those days, 1t con-
siderably strengthened ones grip on
life to be able to throw stone with
accuracy, to hit quickly and strongly
with club, to run from tree to tree
so swiftly and with such nice judg-
ment Of distance as to foil old Saber-
Tooth, the original apostle of fright
fu1ness.
The men who could do these things
well left descendants. Generations,
centuries, aeOns passed, and these
descendants, struggling to repeat the
daily work of their forbears, evolved
such games as cricket, one old cat,
and FOUNDERS. Out of this last, by
happy chance and happier genius, was
developed baseball, to exercise our
lungs, improve our eyes and increase
our vocabularies.
Far different Is the origin of foot
ball. The keynote Of that is the
massed rush-like the one which won
the battle of Marathon. Sometimes
the massing is extra close, correspond
ing to the charge of the Theban col
umn at Leuctra, and-with pretty near
ly as high proportion of casualties
until the rule makers abolished the fly
Ing wedge. But even in the most open
game, football is essentially disci'
plined charge, and the activities II
calls into play are immeasurably less
ancient than those Of baseball.
Why the one game has become the
greatest of professional sports and the
other the peculiar joy of colleges, nc
one can say, but so It is. Perhaps hall
the problem can be solved by recol
lecting that the college age is the mill
tary age, and takes naturally to
game which mimics ancicut war.

How Mr.. Smith Rode.

Lawyers are sometimes put to
it with witnesses, as was a law
yer who was cross-examining a
witness as to the way a Mr.. Smith
rode a horse.
"And how does Mr.. Smith ride
a horse?" asked the lawyer.
Generally in a saddle, sir, |"
was the answer.
"Yes?" said the lawyer.
"Quite remarkable. But what
gait does he ride?"
He never rides and gate at all,
SIR" was the answer. "But |
have seen his son take every gate
on the farm"
"Ah," said the lawyer. "Per.
haps you will tell the jury how
Mr.. Smith rides when he is in
company with Others"
"Yes, sir" said the willing
witness. He keeps up when he
can and when he can't he falls
behind"
The lawyer by this time was
ruffled.
Now, | want clear answer
to my next question:" he said.
How does Mr.. Smith ride when
he is alone?"
II don't know, SIR" was the
reply. Il have never been with
