Baseball Versus BARNARD Golf.

Most of those who pay to see
baseball games would be doing
themselves more good mentally and
physically if they got out and play
ed barnyard golf instead. The tired
businessman as well as his grand
mother-venerating office boy. and
his clerks and office force need not
only fresh air and sunshine, but >
little actual physical exercise to
balance over against the evils of
the sedentary life. They do not get
| this by sitting in the Tandstand
or the bleachers, and the vicarious
excitement they experience as spec
tators of football and baseball
games rather adds to their tired
ness and certainly is no advantage
Gus change from the nerve or brain
flag of business.
There may be some good in ordi-
nary golf, for old dodgers. 1t is a
sad fate for q chap whose arteries
are still soft
But barnyard golf is different
proposition. 1t involves some little
perspiration and some little exer-
else aside from walking to and fro
over the course. 1t calls for skill
and a good eye. 1t affords all the
pleasure of competition with ones
fellows. 1t may be played wherever
there is so feet of earth or sod or
ground available. 1t costs practice
ally nothing for the impedimenta
of the game-a set of horseshoes
selected from the blacksmith junk
pile and pair of stakes or lengths
of iron pipe. Pitching horseshoes
is great fun, and you don't have 20
walk or ride out in the country to
play the game-you can play 1t in
your own backyard or in the drive
way. Picking up the shoes is a
durn sight better exercise for the
average overnourished man or wo-
man than is pounding a dinky little
rubber ball around a lot.
Young America is no piker in
athletic competition with the for
eign youth, but professional base
ball does nothing at all for young
America, and it is sad to think how
many champions are destined to re-
main unknown and unracognized
because the abnormal attraction of
mere sport like baseball keeps the
.youngster content with passive par
fucipation and prevents him from
taking an active interest in any
game at all.

cannot find better word,
When greeting l address you,
Nor song nor poem / have heard
Is sweeter than "God bless you"
God bless you! SO I've wished you all
Of brightness life possesses;
For can there any joy at all
Be yours, unless God blesses?
God bless you! so breathe a charm,
Lest grief's dark night oppress you,
For how can sorrow bring you harm
If tits Gods way to bless you?
And so, dear friend, through all your
days
No harm can touch you ever
If this alone-God's blessing --stays,
Then you are safe forever!

Gedeon appeared.
Gedeon was given his unconditional
release by President Phil Ball of the
ST. Louis Americans shortly after he
had appeared before the Cook County
grand jury, and testified regarding the
alleged throwing Of the worlds series
Of 1919 by certain members of the Chi
cago White Sox to the Cincinnati Ma
tionals. During the last season Gedeon
did not appear in any organized base
ball games.
Gedeon was not indicted in connec-
ton with the 1919 worlds series scan
dal, but he was said to have told the
jurors that he had information relat-
ing to the alleged throwing of the
series, and that he had informed some
of his friends. He also was said to
have been present during discussions
Of the alleged conspiracy.
None of the indicted players who
were later acquitted by a jury in Grim
inal Court here has made application
to Judge Landis for reinstatement in
organized baseball.
