BALL PLAYED BY PRISONERS
Eastern Penitentiaries Have Teams
That Put Up Good Exhibitions
Of the National Game.

Many prisons and penitentiaries have
baseball teams composed of inmates,
and the national sport has done much
to revive the health and spirits of
prisoners. These baseball teams are
uniformed and play regular schedule
of games, but of necessity these games
are always played on the prison home
grounds.
One Of the best known prison teams
is that of Sing Sing. 1t is known as
the Mutual Welfare league team, and
last season it won more than 90 per
cent of games played with visiting
mines. The prison baseball field has a
splendidly graded surface, and there
are bleachers for spectators. The team
plays Saturday and Sunday after
moons. Visiting teams come from New
Jersey and Connecticut The prison
team has won from some of the best
semi-professional mines in these states.
The Eastern penitentiary in Philadel-
phla has long maintained baseball
team, and has developed many good
players.

In India, for instance, have no dover

All of the Indian supply OF silver

War Prices Of Silver.
The custom suffered a severe check
with the war. Then the British gov

quantities Of the metal with which to
pay China and India for war supplies.
Most Of this silver they had to buy
from the United States. There was
not nearly sufficient metal on hand
in this country to supply the demand,
and the price started rising. AS an
ally In the war, the United States
government was compelled to inter
fere and set an export price on Sill

higher than Great Britain had ever
permitted 1t to go, but not as high
as American mine owners liked.
Then, as the demand for the metal
became acute, and it was also needed
to meet our own adverse trade bal
ance with India, congress passed what
is known as the Pittman act, author
izing the secretary of the treasury to
melt down 350,OOO.OOO silver dollars

What the country needs Is the op-

will tell you to be prudent; prudence
belongs to the daring of yOuth-the
spirit of adventure that will develop

Reduce this philosophy to Alaskan
