 Monday the old campus gave n beautiful Indian pageant to the new corners In this the Nakanawa in- dians, last of the Cherokees, came back to their old hunting ground to see what the pale faces were doing. So the campus danced, rode horse- back, swan and did all the camp stunts for the amazed Indians, who then left pleased with their success sors.

Peach Growers in
East Texas Have
Slow Fruit Market

The peach growers Of the East are
have a poor market for their prod
ucts this year according to state
ments given out by people who are
in position 20 know. The prices
established in the eastern and north
ern markets will not justify the
gathering, packing and shipping Of
the peaches, hence there will be many
carloads Of fine fruits allowed to go
to waste in the orchards. 1t is stat
ed that the crop in East Texas this
season is one Of the best that was
ever known, but the prices the crop
is bringing is playing havoc with the
raisers Of the fruit. 1t is stated that
after the price Of gathering, loading
and transporting the fruit to the
market place is paid there is nothing
left for the producer, and sometimes
less than that-some going in "the
hole" on their shipments.
f. With this condition facing the

ments this year less than half up to
the same date last year

stance. On the old Baltimore team, which
was admittedly pretty fast organization, the
aim was, in the hit-and-run play, to poke the
ball through some weak spot in the defense
Generally the ball was not hit hard. But TO-
day the player just smashes the ball anywhere
in the hit-and-run play.
'"The last new thing in baseball was in
troduced by McGinnity and Dunn on the old
Brooklyns when Ned Hanlon was manager.
With man on second, when hit-and-run was
called for, they devised the plan Of chasing

"It was Van Haltren who started rne to

Championships have been won in the old days
with teams carrying eleven men. To-day each
team carries twenty-five men. AS a result
team can be absolutely fit physically when it
takes the field. If a man is not feeling well,
substitute is there to take his place. But
generally in the old days there were two or
three cripples always in the field.
"The players will average smaller than
in the old days. Of course there are few
big men, like "Babe" Ruth, but they are not
common. In the old days there were entire
teams made up Of big men who could hit the
ball mile but were slow on bases. That was
not true of all the teams, of course. The old
Baltimore team did not have a man on it who
was known as home run hitter"
Manager Robinson is not inclined to at
New-York tribune., 1921-05-22

tribute the decline in base running to the
double umpire system. He believes the shift
ing Of the pitchers position may have had
something to do with it, giving different
angle for watching the baserunner and holding
said runner close to the bag.
"Robbie" is on the field with his players
every day during practice hours, and his con-
stant study of the game in all its elements,
human and scientific, is conceded to have much
bearing on the consistently good position occu-
pied by the present champions from Brooklyn
in every recent National League race.

old-time catcher.
"Those were rough days behind the bat,
said Jennings the other day, midway between
the shower and the final haircombing in the
dressng-room at the Giants club house. K
went through a lot of rather painful ex-
perences as a catcher at the start of my oasvs
ball days. When the mitt came in, it didn't do
me any good, as I was then playing short
stop. You can tell just about where these old
timers played just by looking at their hands in
the pictures. It was a good team, the Giants
of those days--especially fine in the pitching
staff, with men like Rusie and Jouett Meekin.

Not all the experts of baseball biography know
that Jennings at time was catcher. They
have idea that an astrologer told the Jen-

future baseball star, that the infant Hughie

bat became general"
The Improvement in fielders' paraphernalia
and in bats and baseballs has about spelled
fnality SO far as any real advancement in the
game is concerned, according to Manager
Robinson. &.
"The ball is livelier now than it used to
be-" said Uncle Robbie, "and of course that
speeds up the game. Then there has been
vast improvement in bats There has always
been lot of attention paid to bat making, but
it took time to develop the bats of to-day,
which are balanced to every players needs.
But so far as the game itself is concerned
there hasn't been new play introduced in
twenty years. Everything that is done to-day
is old stuff, though it may be done in diff
