Think IN WORDS
Mental Composition Habitual
With Most Great Writers.
As a Result Their Thoughts Are Eas-
lily Marshaled When They Sit
at Their Desks.

At least one great writer, Words
worth, composed in his head, without
pencil or paper.
We are given a whimsical picture OF
lis sister, Dorothy, trailing the gaunt
Did man owe the Cumbrian hills, note
book in hand, jotting d"wn as best
she could his inspired dictation.
OF course, few would care to emu
ate his method. Formal composition,
for most scribes, is better done on
paper where the elusive phrase is per-
manently recorded, the fugitive wcrd
captured. the form and cadence of the
hing made obvious to the eye.
Yet, in another sense mental com
position has beer habitAal with all
great writer's who have been generous
enough to disclose their habits Of
thought.
They instinetively think in words.
Under the elm tree, along the trout
stream, wen in the thoroughfares and
work shops of life, they are coming
phrases, silently casting what they
think and set into appropriate Ian
suage, fitting and discarding adjective
and verb in the eternal search for per-
feet expression.
Freckled newsboys, sunsets, traffic
jams. symphonies, even the abstract
meditations of reverie, pass into their
minds as phrases, to sink, apparently
forgotten, into the storehouse Of the
unconscious mind.
When such men sit down to write
they have no need to brush the cob
webs from a neglected vocabulary.
The joints of expression are not stiff
and squeaky from long disuse. +.
They have spun the glorious skein
in hayward hours, and when loom
time comes there remains only the
weaving Of the pattern.
One November evening, many years
ago, three men were crossing a heath
on the outskirts of London. On q hill
ahead of them stood a church with a
tall spire. Suddenly the sun broke
through a bank of clouds and illum-
mated its gold cross.

Agreement Till
It's Modified

CHICAGO, Jan. g. - Notifications
must be made In the agreement be-
tween the major leagues before the
American League club owners will
attach their signatures to the docu-
ment.
The National League has ratified
and signed the agreement, but the
members Of Ban Johnson's circuit
have refused to do that because the
compact as drawn is not entirely
satisfactory to the owners in the
younger circuit
The American League at IT. meet
ing in New York a few weeks ago
ratified the agreement but did not
sign 1t because there were dissenting
voices.
Ban Johnson said to-day that the
agreement must be modified. He OBJ
jectS to It's long llfe-twenty-five
years. He declares It Is folly to draw
up n set OF laws for so long a.period.
He referred to the previous National
agreement that was supposed to go
twenty years, but which was de-
claFed a scrap of paper" by owners
in both leagues.
II do not think a long term agree
ment means anything In baseball" said
President johnson. Five years is
enough for the life Of any compact;
seven would be o. X. for this one. since
Judge I.andis has been elected for that
period. But am opposed to making Il
more than that. We had an agreement
to run for twenty years, but It wal
broken because the magnates refused
TO live up TO the laws that were made
for them and which they adopted. The
same would happen to another Ions
The attitude Of tho American League
concerning the agreement may cause
much discussion in the joint session tC
be held on Jan. ~ at the Congress
| Hotel.
The National League has signed tho
document and may refuse change
which would stir up another row be-
tween the major Organizations.
| Ban johnson also thinks Judge Ian
dis. the new Commissioner. should b'
| invested with more power than thS
agreement as drawn gives him.
