SUCCESS AT THE BAT.
1t Is Not Acquired by Striving to Out
auess the Pitcher.

GUESS the Pitcher.
The batter who tries to outguess a
pitcher is making big mistake. He
should try to figure out what the
hurler probably will do, but at the
same time should be set and ready for
anything and prepared to shift at short
notice. Making up your mind In ad-
vance that you are going to hit GER
tain ball and then swinging at 1t re-
CARELESS of where it may 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 home
run every time up. If you meet the
ball squarely and get the right amount
of snap in your swing you do not
need to take a windup and lunge at it
with all your might.
There is lot of life in a baseball,
and when you hit it son 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 a great hitter yet
that swung with all 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
ly when you take a "washerwoman $
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
flies or rolls feeble grounders the rest
Of the time.
Every man must in way be his own
trainer in baseball.-Ty Cobb in Amer
lean Boy.

where DUTY CALLED.
He Was rat the Front" When the Crisis
Came, and He Won.


In the spring of 1918 occurred the
disastrous floods in Ohio. Daniel Will
lard, president of the Baltimore and
Ohio, could not rest content with mere
ly directing relief from his office in
Baltimore He rushed Immediately to
where he remained till the danger was
past.
A New York banker, whose influence
and friendship We're much needed by
the Baltimore and Ohio, ran down to
Baltimore. He was a man to whom
he had a positive date with Daniel
Willard. But when he reached the
railroad offices the president was gone.
Hes at the 'front.'" said one Of his
secretaries and explained how the chief
had gone out to Camden station on
the preceding night. A message can
ceiling the engagement had been sent
to New York-Willard is most pune
tilious in such matters-but it had fail
ed to arrive.
The banker frowned. He was not in
the habit of hurrying to see railroad
ers who We're seeking loans and then
having them fail to keep appointments
with him. But when he was back in
his own Office the next day and the
newspaper extras were telling of the
catastrophe that had swept over Ohio
he sent personal message to the pres
ident of the Baltimore and Ohio. 1t
told him that he might draw for as
much money as he needed to put his
railroad on lbs feet again.
Hes at the front"
That was the thing that had hit the
Wall street man clean between the
eyes.-Everybody's.

Right From the Heart.

A little boy in the city followed the
suggestions Of his father (who some.
how in the midst Of 1.-THE turmoil" has
managed to live for the good things
of life and let the banalties which
take up the popular attention alone)
that he keep diary.
The little fellow found it rather diff
ficult to make records, not understand
ing that the human document must be
beautifully simple. But one day he
struck the keynote Of life with just one
bold, unconscious stroke:

Probably some of the most expensive

rhinoceros horns. Such cane, when
made of one piece of horn, often costs
as high as $500. The high price is due
to the expert treatment which the
