BASEBALL
Labor Day, Sept. +, 1922.

The Tenth Wards baseball team from
Minneapolis, who won the championship
in division d of the Minneapolis Junior
League, completed their seasons playing
by return game with the NJ S. P's. team
on the latter's diamond, Labor Day. On
account Of the visitors being somewhat late
on their arrival here, it was necessary to
call the game at the end of the fifth inn
ing. During their former visit here on
June oath, the locals were able to push
over victory of 7 to s, in an eight inn
ing contest. However, we will pass light
ly over what happened on that date and
proceed to state the principal facts of the
Labor Day game
One of the poorest exhibitions of the
great national pastime was exhibited by
the locals in the opening stanza of the
game. An argument over the Ump's de-
cision to award the right of runner the
home plate on a squeeze play, was indeed,
a rank decision. When the listless game
was resumed the local pitcher had lost all
semblance of control or effectiveness. While
at the same time, the locals were held
helpless before the battling slants of Kauff-
man, whirlwind of young athlete. He
simply slaughtered the local tribe to the
tune of 8 to 4. Kaufman was so stingy
with his hits that he refused to allow his
teammates to play with the apple, especial
ly so in the early chapters of the game.
During the whole fracas only four assists
were garnered. He held the locals hitless
until the last of the fourth round and then
the two first men up clouted out a single
but both of them were tossed out at second
on attempted thefts, Schiebe to O'Neill. 1t
was during the, fifth and last fracas that
he was touched up for four hits that de-
veloped into four we'll earned runs. Tul
led off with single through the infeld
defensive, was advanced to second when
Wor got free ticket by getting hit with
pitched ball and both runners scored on
PTS three-bagger to left. Shu struck out
but Pr scored on Hens two-bagger to left
center and Hen scored on Dts single. Gal
was passed on balls and both runners ad-
vanced one peg each on Del's infeld out,
Nicholson to Paulson. Sher took three
healthy swings for strikeout that retired
the side.
Pr was elected to do the twiring for
the local tribe and the assistance he got
in the opening chapter was of very dis
couraging nature. Karpe, the first man to
face him, got to second base when Del
dropped his fly to short center and was
advanced to third on Schiebes single.
Campbell grounded one to Dts and on a
felder's choice play, Karpe was thrown out
at the plate and Schiebe took third on the

In paying tribute to the musicians re-
sponsible for the wonderful solo (or duet?)
that accompanied the photo play, "The
Rosary" in the auditorium recently, we
must take refuge in the phrase, "Words
fail u.s." However, it was call to the
Mary Ann" Let us have several 'en-
cores"
The recent State Fair at Midway
prompts the question: Who are the real
suckers, chumps or yaps, or whatever you
may call them2 The hardworking yokels
who attended the Fair with the folks from
back "hum," or, the Smart slick gentry
like ourselves who are "on the inside look
ing out"
We earnestly wish the "owP' cars of
the Saltwater Street Ry. Co. would cease
the Earring screech that is made every time
they negotiate the turn in front of the In
stitution. Only the other night we started
up from the ebay" and was on the verge
of ringing for pitcher of ice water when
we suddenly realized we were not in St.
Paul hotel after all.

play. With SChlebe on third and Camp
bell on first, they undertook to pull the
squeeze play and with the aid of the Jumps
it developed into reality, for the Jumps
declared Schiebe safe at the plate. The
decision was loudly protested for it was
plainly to be seen that Schiebe was out by
several feet but the Jumps gave his de-
cision as he saw it and there was no use
to argue. Pawlson drove long fly to left
and when Sher muffed it, Campbell scored
and Pawlson took second on the error.
Richardson went out on short fly to right
field but Lind got single that scored
Pawlson from second. Lind undertook to
pilfer second and on Wor's wild throw,
went to third and on CABS peg to the same
corner, Lind scored on Hans error. O'Neill
struck out retiring the side with two hits,
four runs and four errors.
Nelson led the attack in the second
round by cracking out single and was
out, Shu to Hen. Karpe got double to
left center that scored Nelson and Karpe
was advanced to third on Schiebe's single.
Schiebe thinking he could go to second
with no opposition got into hot box be-
tween first and second, was run down and
put out by Hen and Karpe in trying to
score from third on the play, was thrown
out Hen to Wor, thus completing a diff
cult double that retired the side with three
hits, one run and no errors.
The visitors were held scoreless in the
third round but with the opening of the
fourth, O'Neill led off with single, stole
second and scored on Nelson's single to
left. O'Neill in trying to stretch his hit
into double, was thrown out, Sher to
Dts to Shu. Kaufman was tossed out,
Shu to Hen and Karpe was thrown out,
Dts to Hen, retiring the side with two
hits, one run and no errors.
Schiebe was the first man up in the last
round and he was thrown out, Shu to Hen.
Campbell got single and scored on Pawl-
sons four ply wallop to left center.
Richardson was passed on balls but was
thrown out at second on an attempted
theft, Wor to Del. Lind and O'Neill were
both passed on balls and Nelson filled the
bases with a single. Kaufman struckout
retiring the side with three hits, two runs
and no errors.
Before. closing this narrative it must be
remarked that razzberry was given the
home team by number of disconnected
fans. 1t is a privilege to state that the
"razzers" were few in number, who had
some "sour grapes" on their hands, and who
would not be missed if they failed to make
application for future engagements. In
the maze of the fans, out to enjoy the
recreation and contest taking it as it
comes, they would be entirely lost from
view.

Solution of all problems is easy if we
will only adopt the true method. "All
things whatsoever We would that men
should do to you, do we even so to them."
Are you consistently living in accordance
with that sage counsel "a hours of
each day and seven days of each week?
If all men everywhere would do so all of
the worlds vexing troubles would disap-
pear, armaments of all kinds could be
safely scrapped and we should see ushered
in a new era of genuine human brother
hood, the age-old dream of philosophers
and poets. It's far cry from existing con-
ditions to the universal practice of the
Golden Rule but it will come eventually
if you and me and all our neighbors and
all our neighbors' neighbors can be led to
adopt it and be guided by it in all our
actions.-Selerfed.

FACTS ABOUT MEXICO

Mexico is officially called "Estados Uni
dos Mexieanos" and "Rebublica Mexi-
cana" On some maps it is called "Esta-
dos Unidos Norte," or "United States of
the North"
Mexico has an area of 1920 square
miles.
The greatest length of the country is
from northwest to southeast, 1900 miles;
its greatest width, $50 miles, and its gen.
eral width about 14O miles.
The outline of Mexico is sometimes COM
pared to huge cornucopia, with its open
ing toward the United States.
There are 4,s74 miles of coast line on
the Pacific side, including the Gulf of
California.
The coast line on the Gulf of Mexico
measures about 400 miles, and there are
327 miles on the Caribbean Sea.
An immense elevated plateau, with a
chain of mountains on its eastern and
western margins occupies the greater part
of the country.
The "tierras ealientes," or hot lands, are
low plains lying along the coast on both
sides of Mexico. This lowlands region in
general is from thirty to forty miles wide
and very unhealthy.
The great Plateau of Mexico is very
largely of volcanic origin.
The general elevation of the highest
part of the plateau is about 5000 feet in
the States of Mexico and Puebla.
The highest montain peaks are the gi-
gantic, snowclad, extinct volcanoes, Popo-
catepetl Smoking mountain) and Ixtac
cihatl white Woman), 1888 feet and
17,343 high, respectively. These peaks are
about twenty miles southeast of Mexico
City.
Mexico has few large rivers, small
streams flowing from the mountain slopes
at the edge of the great plateau eastward
to the gulf and westward to the Pacific.
Its peculiar surface formation, high

TO NAME MOUNTAIN FOR LANE

A hitherto unnamed peak in Mt. Raj
nier national park is to be national
monument to the memory of Franklin K.
Lane, former secretary of the interior, who
died recently. The rugged peak is to be
named Mt. Lane. 1t is located in west
central Washington and rears its summit
1000 feet above sea level. The memorial
is the idea of the National Geographic
Society, which names undesignated peaks
in this country with the cooperation of
the government.
The national parks and reservations are
under the supervision of the secretary of
the interior; hence it was thought appro-
pirate to take this action. Lane was
member of Wilson's cabinet, serving as
secretary of the interior from 1913 to
1920. Mr.. Rainier park was created in
1899 and contains nearly 32s square miles.

plateau shut in by mountain barriers, and
the coast does not permit the development
of large river basins.
The. Rio Grande del Norte, or Rio
Bravo, on the northern frontier, is prac-
tically an American river, as it rises in
American territory and receives but very
little water from the Mexican side.
The lakes in Mexico are small and few.
The six small lakes in the valley of Mex
leo are the remains of lake once occupy
ing the whole valley, and are gradually
disappearing. Lake Champala, in the State
of Jalisco, is the largest.
Tampico harbor has been improved by
breakwater, or jetties, and deepening of
the channel, so that it is deep and COM
modious.
With the possible exception of Peru,the
most ancient remains of human civiliza-
ton of the western hemisphere are to be
found in Mexico. There are many indi-
cations that these were of Mongolian and
also Egyptian origin. There were three
periods of such civilization.
In the summertime, one finds it cooler
the farther south he goes on the central
plateau. This is because of the increase
in altitude. Mexico City is always cool.

1t is a beautiful thought this of the
ancients, that man may, by holding him
self up to his highest, carry with him
wherever he goes, quite unconsciously, a
real, actively protective influence over his
fellows. Work for the well-being of all
things and expect nothing for yourself,
and whatever is your due will come to
you spontaneously. That, then, is the con-
cern of the good Law-4vhich never fails
and is not for you to consider.

CHAUTAUQUA CIRCLE

On Sunday afternoon, February 18th,
meeting of the Pierian Chautauqua Cir
Gle was held, in the schoolroom with six
teen members in attendance, Pres. w. J.
McC., presiding. One new member was
seated being assigned to Glass A. One
application for membership was presented,
accepted by the Circle and referred to the
Membership committee.
Minutes of the last meeting were read
and approved and library books distri-
buted as called for. Encyclopedias were
in demand, also works on philosophy and
volumes devoted to the expounding of
life's complexities both theoretical and con-
crete.
The first subject brought before the Cir
Gle was the reading of the officially ap-
proved program for the coming quarterly
meeting, to be held in the auditorium,
March 18th. When minor Details and the
musical selections are decided upon, the
full program will be made public. Every
effort is being made to make it a little
different, little better, than former pre-
formances. An hour was given to re-
hearsal and instructions
Honorary Member Deputy L. F. Utecht,
during the session, gave an unexpected
and greatly appreciated talk to the men,
bers in which he favorably stated that he
was interested in the welfare and progress
of the Circle, was always ready to assist,
where requests for his assistance were
within reasonable bounds and summed up
by urging each member to do their in
dividual part which would result in the
success of the whole organization.
A paper entitled Metallurgy was read
by Mr.. H. H. NJ. On a former occasion
Mr.. M. covered the mining and assaying
of the precious metals, gold and silver;
this paper was continuation only that
iron, steel and brass-the metals used in
the local factory-were discussed. AL
though the title given his paper predicted
a lengthy technical and statistical disser-
tation it proved exceptionally comprehen-
sive-for Mr.. M. not only possesses
knowledge of the intricacies of metallurgy,
but also the ability to choose and arrange
words and explanatory comparisons so as
to clearly and understandingly carry his
audience over seemingly complicated de-
tails. This paper will appear in an early
issue of THE MIRROR.
