BALL PLAYED BY PRISONERS
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 95 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
phia has long maintained a baseball
team, and has developed many good
players.

What the country needs is the op-

when he said: young men, the sages
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

just now needs youth to finish the,
structure upon the foundation laid by.

reverence and admire. The raw ma
