reactions. But the dancer must be skillful
just as the musician must be competent.
The history of the dance has been traced
back through the centuries to primitive
man. Every race has dance peculiar to
itself, which often expresses its dominant
traits. The dance is used to express every
phase of human emotion. Among more
primitive peoples their character often may
be adduced from. the national or tribal
dance. In civilized countries this is more
difficult. But the dances of community
may well serve as an indication of its
stage of culture.
In the great civilized countries of
Europe dancing has evolved from the rude
folk dances of the ancients to the modern
ballet. The Greeks were perhaps the first
to originate what we call classical or
esthetic dancing, although the art was not
altogether unknown to the Egyptians, as
the inscriptions upon their tombs denote.
The ballet, however, as a form of en-
tertainment consisting solely of interpreta-
tive dancing or drama originated early in

DOORS FOR POULTRY HOUSES
By a Fancier

IF you study the construction of the
average chicken house you will find that
most of them have small door in front
for the birds to 60 in and out. 1t is gen.
orally 10 inches wide and fourteen inches
high. This is wrong, the door should be
at least three feet wide and two feet high.
In order to give you my reason for this,
please picture in your mind maternity
hospital. Suppose in this hospital there
are 'twentyaye women. They are gathered
in one room talking and sewing. The
room has only one door opening to the out
side Some one comes down the hall and
calls out "6re." What happens? Every
woman thinks of one thing. How can l
get out of this room? They all rush for
the door, fall, push, crowd and fight their
way out. What are the results? Many
injuries have been inflicted not only to the
women themselves but to the unborn chill
dren. There will be children born dead,
some blind, crippled or feeble-minded, and
all because their mothers lost their head
the day of the fire and rushed the door,
instead of taking time to go out one at a
time.
But you say what has maternity hos
pital to do with a chicken house? Just
this. You have in your chicken house

the hard luck he played in, we mention
the game of July 4th, when Thomp won
and lost the game in the two innings he
pitched. VOL started the game and he
was yanked from the box at the end of
the third frame when the visitors were
leading by a score of to 5. Thomp then
took the helm and with the opening of the
fourth chapter the visitors made it to
count. But when the locals came to bat
in their half of the fourth round they got
three runs which gave them one point the
best of the game and by doing SO the re-
sponsibility for the loss of the game, now
rested on Thomp's shoulders. The game
was again lost to the visitors in the fifth
frame, when they were allowed to register
three times off of two singles, hit batter
and two errors. San finished the game
but his teammates could not connect for
the necessary hits to pound out victory
for him. Thomp pitched total of 46
innings that were scattered among twelve
different games. He has more strikeouts
per game than any other pitcher but his
record for bases on balls, wild pitches and
hit batters, indicates that his control was
none too good. He allowed total of So
hits, eight of these were doubles while
five of them were triples, which were good
for II bases in all and when they were
obaI - n ,hor Of
errors, they produced total of a. runs,
while only Is of them can be classed as
earned runs, thus giving him an earned
run per cent of four and eighty-eight one
hundredths runs per game.
Nell, who was a new recruit and did
rot Join the local ranks until August 9th,
was another hard luck pitcher. He pitched
an Al class of ball but the breaks were
always decidedly against him. He worked
in total of seven games and if he had
been given the support he really deserved
he would have been credited with only
one loss. He is given credit with one
game won where there was no record of
the game. He allowed more hits per game
than any other pitcher but the majority of
these came after he had given up hopes of
winning He allowed total of IS hits,
ten of these were doubles, six were triples
and two were homers, total of SO bases,
which gave the visitors 81 runs in all.
However, Nell was only responsible for
% of these runs which gives him an
earned run percentage of four and forty
one-hundredths runs per, nine inning
game. j. r. S.

A GREAT RUSSIAN DANCER

Dancing, which has been aptly defined
as 'the poetry of notion" is the oldest of
the arts. Like music it expresses emotions
that cannot be translated into words. Just
as the performer, in music, is able to in
still the emotion he feels into the hearts
of his auditors, so the dancer subtly con-
veys through another sense, His emotional

records of the M. S. P. baseball team by
presenting to the readers how the pitching
staff stood at the close of the season. The
earned run percentage is based on a nine
inning game, as per rule IS, section II,
Spaulding's baseball guide. The same rule
applies to the record for strikeouts, bases on
balls, hit batters, wild pitches and hits al
lowed, but on account of space we pass up
these trivial records and only produce the,
actual pitching and earned run percentages.
San is the only pitcher on the team who
came out with flying colors' for he has
pitching record of 1000 per cent. But his
earned run record at the rate of nine inn
ings per game, was, five and seventy-fve
onc-hundredths runs, almost one run more
per game than any other pitcher. He pitched
only one complete, seven inning game, dur
ing the season, and that was on July 9th,
against the Great Northern Railway team
from ST. Paul. He held the visitors to
four singles and one double, that netted
them total of three runs. His teammates
got real busy in this encounter and smashed
out thirteen hits, that were responsible for
eleven counters. San had the satisfaction
of getting two of these bingles and regis
tering twice at the plate. The other seven
innings that he worked was by going into
the box as relief pitcher, after the game
had been hopelessly lost by his predecessor.
VOL has the distinction of winning more
games than any other pitcher. In three
different games, early in the season, he
went in the box as a relief pitcher, when
the home team was decidedly in the hole
or on the losing end. He proved to be
master of the situation by putting crimp
in the visitors onrush, while at the same
time his teammates came from behind and
batted him to victory He pitched total
of II innings, distributed among IA diff
ferent games. During that time he struck
out 79 batters and allowed total of 8S
hits. Twenty of these were doubles, four
were triples and four were home runs.
Therefore, the SS hits were good for 12S
bases, which netted the visitors s. runs off
his deliveries. However, only 36 of them
resulted in earned runs, thus, giving him
an earned run percentage of four and fifty
ne-hundredths runs per game.
Thomp, who seemed to pitch mastery
ball, played in hard luck. He did not
get the support he should have had from
his teammates, which is always very dis
couraging for a pitcher. Just to illustrate
