Men Who Succeed.

Thomas e. Wilson, the Chicago pack
er. says in the American Magazine:
"The higher up he is the more de-
pendent an executive becomes on those
under him. The real success Of an ex-
ecutive, it seems to me, rests on his
ability to promote wisely, and at the
same time to keep the force working
in harmony and contentment. A little
jealousy here and there in an organ
ization can ruin it's efficiency. l have
known men who had enough general
grasp of things to have made great de-
partment managers, only they could
not get along tremendously with those
about them. If man can't get along
pleasantly with his associates he cam
not successfully handle force Of men,
never like to promote man to re-
sponsible place if he has failed to work
in hearty cooperation with the men
alongside Of him. When you hear men
say of their boss, He is a good fellow
to work for you may know he is
successful executive"

Meamerism.

Franz Anton Mesmer, the founder
Of mesmerism, was German ply
sician of Merseberg. His thesis set
ting forth the science of mesmer-
ism was published in 176G. Mesmer
contended that the heavenly bodies
diffused through the universe subtle
fluid, which acts on the nervous sys-
tenn of all animated beings and espe-
cially upon that Of man. He gained a
great number Of followers and realized
a splendid fortune. A committee OF
physicians and philosophers" inves-
tigated his pretensions, which were
finally exposed in 1884. Notwithstand-
ing this, however, Mesmer continued
to have many friends and followers,
so great was the personal magnet
ISM of the man.

Soldier Boys Make Baseball
Popular In The British Isles

The announcement recently that a
professional baseball organization
would be launched in England and
France next spring is only a natural
sequence of the remarkable strides
baseball has made in Europe in the
last year.
Soldiers and civilians returning from
France and Britain during the last few
months all tell the same story of the
wonderful future in store for baseball
in Europe And baseball has just been
given it's first push" said a Canadian
soldier back from the front wait till
it rolls around bit and begins to
spread by it's own impetus.
Uncle Sam only had thousands of
soldiers over there when the cold
weather came where he will have
hundreds of thousands by the spring.
By the time they start to knock that
horsehide around next spring you'll
hear the echo all over France"
Returning Americans and Cana
dams are so sanguine over the spread
of baseball in Europe because the chill
dren are taking it up. Despite their
hardships and struggles the French
kids are learning baseball fast and play
it with the same energy that character
ICES the military efforts of their fathers
and brothers.
There are no people in the world
that will go to baseball like the French
once they know little more about il.
And they are learning fast" said the
soldier 1.-The French have taken rath-
err kindly to English soccer, but it has
no hold there the way it has in Eng
land and in another season or so base
ball should have soccer far behind"
Perhaps the most encouraging sign
as to the progress baseball is making
in England is that Englishmen actually
are trying to learn the rules" said an
American recently returned from Lon
don. They try to interpret them from
a cricket standpoint and arrive at some
strange conclusions. They also are not
backward in telling you that the Amer
lean rule-mahers also put in some most
silly rules"
A story which is being told on the
vaudeville stage may have been bit
exaggerated since being pitched across
the footlighta but according to this
information the incident really came

UNCLE SAWS WARRIORS
WILL USE UP 10000 BALLS
ON DIAMOND THIS YEAR

Any one who doubts that baseball is
our national game should look over the
plans made by the Commissions on Train
ing Camp Activities Of the War and Navy
Departments. Every one Of the 1900
600 men under training in this country
will indulge in baseball practice.
1t is estimated that approximately
81, 900 balls win be used up Officially in
in the camp games in the course or the
season. This figure is arrived at by es-
timating that there areo yer 40Oo com
panies in training in the various camps
and multiplying this number OF IL, Wnlch
is the number of baseballs the Training
Camp Commission is planning to furnish
each unit in addition to gloves and bats.
MANY more, of course, win be supplied
b ythe men themselves, and these will
bring the number nearer 10000, 1t is be-
leYed.
The season is already under way in most
of the camps. Use soldiers and sailors
waited for no official inauguration and
the snow had barely left the ground be-
athletic fields and parade grounds. In
fact, in places favored with mild eli
mate the men have played throughout
the winter.
CUES are being formulated by DR.. Joseph
A. Raycroft, general director OF athletics
in the camps, under the supervision OF
the training camp commission; BeIore
another month passes the soldiers VIII
have their company, regimental and di-
visional teams and these in turn will form
company and regimental leagues.
No divisional leagues are contemplated
because of the scattered locations of most
of the environments. but where travelling
conditions permit intercamp games will
be arranged.
Similar plans for the naval stations are
being made by Walter Camp who is gen
eraI director of naval athletics. Each
station will have a representative team
which will be selected by elimination and
play out schedules that are being drawn
up with amateur, professional and coll
lege mines from adjacent cities.
At the Boston navy yard squad
which included several big league stars in
training there is being organized for
three months tour of the country to play
major league teams and fast semi-pro
fessional and college mines. John ].
Lane, former secretary Of the Boston Red
Sox and a navy warrant officer, has been
made business manager Of the team and
