STEELTON IN
MIDWEEk GAME
Busy Schedule Ahead With
League Leaders Here on
July 4 and 6

The Steelton big leaguers hooked
up with a fast team from Williams
port to-day for their usual mid week
practice, and they needed it. Next
Saturday Cockill's climbers show at
Fore River and then on the Fourth
come those speedsters, the Whining
ton outfit with "Sockless Joe" Jack
son, Dumont, Wagner and half a
dozen other stars who have been
leading the Steel League. Imme-
diately after the Fourth, on July G.,
Steelton gets the next hardest team
to beat, Bethlehem, which from to-
days report may be reinforced by
that time by another big league
catcher. This does not reflect in
the least on the work of Dick"
Wright, who has been holding down
the position since the league open
ed. Although not hitting as often
as some of the other players on the
team, "Dick" has been sticking over
his wallops at the opportune time.
Since the opening of the season.
Wright has signified his intention OF
retiring from baseball for all time.
However, a catcher was needed and
the league officials prevailed upon
SAs1S
was secured. Wright is too strong
ly enveloped in his work TO report
regularly for practice, another rea-
son for his retiring from the game.
There is also a definite rumor
that Bethlehem will lose it's clever
Manager, Tom Ready, who has been
asked by Walter Camp to take an
appointment abroad as physical di-
rector for the Y. M. c. A. Camp
singled out Ready and has written
him repeatedly in hopes of having
him accept an appointment. He is
we'll aware of the ability of the Le-
high coach in organizing and train
ing athletes and is desirous of hav-
ing him numbered among the ath-
letic trainers. Men of this ability are
used practically exclusively in train
ing the men in the aviation service,
the best physical condition being re-
quired to qualify for this work.

A Fairyland Mine.

To the mineralOgist the Copper Queen mine of Bisbee, Ariz., has been for many years a kind of fairyland, yielding rare treasure in copper and lime minerals, of much variety and marvellous beauty of specialization and coloring. A recently opened cavern or grotto, filled with stalactites and stalagmites of delicate green and blue tints, was brought to the notice of Dr, E. o. Hovey before destruction by the miners, and this. made possible the transfer of the section of the forma- ton that is now set up among the wonders of the American Museum of Natural History in New York. The grotto thus preserved, in space 14 feet high and 10 feet square, is lined with some 50 boxes Of carefully col lected and restored cave material, the outside being roughly built up of lime stone blocks. One stalagmite of the mine cave had been deposited to a height of nearly IA feet by water drip ping for an estimated period of 25,OOO years.

Tradition and Good eooks.


 Good books, like well-built houses, must have tradition behind them writes Henry Seidel Canby in the Yale Review. The Homers and Shake sreares and Goethes spring from rich soil left by dead centuries; they are like native trees that grow so well no. where else. The little writers--hacks, who sentimentalize to the latest order. and display their plot novelties like bargains op an advertising page-are just as. traditional. The only differ. ence is that their tradition goes back to books instead of life. Middle-sized authors-the very good and the prob. ably enduring-are successful largely because they have gripped tradition and followed 1t through to contem- porary life. That Is what Thackeray did in "vanity Fair" Howells in 'The Rise of Silas Lapham" and Mrs. Whar- ton in ''The House of Mirth." But back-touature books-bcth sound ones and those shameless exposures of the private emotions of ground-kogs and turtles that call themselves nature boeks-are the most traditional of all. For they plunge directly into what might be called the adventures Of the American suhconsciCusnesA

The story of Amarilly begins with her life in Clothesline Alley where she helps her mother take in washing and scrubs the floors of the Empire Theatre. She attracts the attention of young sculptor whose mother makes a profession of uplifting the masses and Amarilly is taken away from the scrubbing which she loves and forced into an artificial life in their wealthy and formal home. The climax of her misery is reached when a committee of supercilious society danes invite her mother to tea and proceed to hold the jolly old Irish wo- man up to ridicule, which she misses entirely, but which the daughter feels keenly. Amarilly wisely decides that 'ice cream will not mix with pickels" so she sends her dilettante admirer about his business and re. turns to her first steady" who is an Irish lad of her own class.
