Merchandise Must Be Ne1u to Get Notice These Days
Who Shall Be Nominated for
the Next President?

Inc question as to who is to be elected next
November by the votes of the women 1--WE hope)
and the men of the United States, is now
uppermost in the minds of the people, and
talked of by all.
The platform of principles ON which the
President is to stand and administer national
affairs must also be carefully put together.
One Of its most important planks is the
Tariff, whose sole object should be to maintain
employment of American labor.
The origin of the word "tMif" is
interesting, especially to the new voters. 1t
grew out of fixed scale of duties assessed
upon all merchandise at fortress commanding
the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea, on a
Spanish promontory called Tarifa, running out
into the Strait of Gibraltar. This fortress was
said to have belonged at one time to the Moors,
and from it they watched and halted and took
toll from the merchant ships coming and
going.
The United States must either place an
embargo upon the exporting of its products
past that point at which scarcity for home
consumption is created, thereby raising the
prices of the homeland requirements, or it
must increase the home output to maintain
former normal prices.
But, still farther

Every ball player next TO the old
pay check likes his base hits. Since
thu size of. the pay check. meas
urc. depends on the ability to hit
safely. there is good reason for the
g. love OF the wallop that goes safe
There is nothing quite so stimulating
or encouraging to the diamond
athlete as the ring of the old base
hit OF lot OF players they say.
You could just about pay that fell
low off in ba Sc hits instead of money.
I'm striking contrast, nothing wor-
ries the ball player more than a
batting slump. Inability to get the
ball safe can transfer the most con-
genial athlete into the worst kind of
a crab. II can rob the peppery IN
dividuaI Of all his life, if the slump
is of n protraCted nature. 1t can turn
the most brilliant fielder into "A very
ordinary performer. Nothing can dis
turb the success and harmony of
ball club more than a couple of good
hitters falling into slump.
Explain a batting slump? That is
no easy task. Literally il is inability
of recognized good hitter to get
the ball safe. He may be hitting the
ball hard at the outset of the slump.
- but directly at some one as is often
the case. That doesn't worry him
so much At the start, because he be-

may shorten his swing. may 50 to a
new style of bat Usually he would
be better oft if he did none OF these
things. But when man is worried
he will resort to almost any means to
recover his pOise.
Last season Roger Feckfnpaugh of
the Yankees went twenty-nine con-
secutive games in which he got one
or more hits. In that long run the
breaks naturally had to be in his
favor. Just when il seemed some
pitcher had stopped him he would
connect weakly with the ball, drop

was stopped, and as is often the case
after Il player has been hitting the
ball hard he falls into slump. For
about two weeks Peck didn't get as
many hits as he had been getting in
a couple of days. He seemed to be hit
ting the ball as cons silently and as
hard as ever. but always some fielder
would be right in the way. or he
would make brilliant catch. Base
hits. which for the month previous had
come so easy. were now the hardest
things in the world to acquire.
No one has ever explained to the
satisfaction of all just what Il batting

vital suggestions which, if adopted.

aspects of tennis.
Much opposition will be encountered

ing the elimination of the words

handicapping method also will be
strongly opposed. several prominent
clubs having instructed their dele

changes. The foot-fault rule to be
offered appears likely to be radically
amended, but a more clear definition
