There is bit Of complication due 10

one Of the best baseball cities in Amer
lea. 1t has almost doubled in size since
Il had an organized baseball team. 1t
quit baseball because OF war conditions
and the team did not prosper because
OF the unpopularity of the owner. Last
year Montreal had eight big indepen-
dent teams playing. and each one OF
them drew more people than the Inter-
national club did in It's last year in
Montreal. There has been a persistent
movement to get Providence and Mont
real into the International League in
place OF Syracuse and Reading. II clubs

apply TO exhibition games.
1t might be we'll also for the commits

Montreal is. and the hootCh sold is not
nearly as good Besides that, more ball
players slip In New York than they do
anywhere else.

the major leagues at least shall go dry.
Further than that. ne IS determined
that ball PLAYERS, driven out Of ball FOR
crooked work. shall not pouute baseball
further, and that players or teams that
knowingly play against them shall De

The time Is approaching quite rapidly
when the baseball club owners must
decide whether they Will back up their
commissioner or not. Some OF them
even now are practically in open revolt
against his policy OF keeping the game
clean. Others are just as strong for
him. The fact remains that Commits

FIVE REASON WHY YOU
SHOULD LEAD A CLEAN LIFE

FlrSt-Because your success in life
depends upon having strong body,
clear mind, a good character and
right habits.
Second-Because you owe it to
your mother who risked her life that
YOU might be brought into this world,
and who will be grieved if you do not
live a clean life.
Third-Because you owe it to the
girl you are some day to marry. You
expect her to keep her life clean for
you. She has a right to expect the
same. Play the game square.
Fourth-Because you owe it to your
friends. Your example is either help
ing or hindering those about you.
Let US help our friends up, not down.
Fifth-Because you owe it to God
who has given you life, health, and
chance to make good in the world.
A Clean Manly Boy Will Make a
Strong Noble Man.
AS part of the campaign program,
Mr.. Boyd l. Walker, State Boys Sec
rotary of Illinois, addressed about a
hundred boys of the high school after
school on Tuesday. He talked on the
Four C's-clean speech, clean HABITS,
clean scholarship, clean athletics. He
maintained that a man is as he thinks,
so it is to a boys best interests to
think straight. A man who has a B
capacity, but is satisfied with nothing
but B plus is far more desirable
than boy with an A capacity, who is
satisfied, however, with b plus. He
also said there was more dirty ath-
letics INDUCED in on the sidelines than
on the playing field or floor. Mr..
Walkers straightforward appeal won
him many friends among the boys of
the school, and all looked forward to
hearing him again at the banquet in
the evening.
Tuesday evening the boys brought
their fathers to a banquet which was
held in the dining hall of the Baptist
Church. After the banquet Mr. Syl-
vester Toussaint told of the first Hi-Y
organization founded in Wauwatosa
High School, and how helpful it was in
raising the ideals of the members.
Mr.. Walker gave another inspirational
address, in which he pointed out that
good scholarship, superior athletics,
and Christian ideals went hand in
hand. All who were present expressed
their appreciation to Mr.. Babcock and
Mr.. Throckmorton who were instru-
mental in bringing Mr.. Walker to
Wauwatosa.

SCHOOL HAPPENINGS

Sanders, made its debut before the
Senior High School by the playing of
two selections, THE Crickets" and
Over the Waves" waltz. That the
numbers were greatly enjoyed was
evidenced by the prolonged applause
given the youthful performers, and we
nope that our appreciation so mani
tested will soon bring a return en-
gagement.
At 1880 the Lawrence GIee Club
sang for us-gave us a sample of
their ability-and we liked the sample
so we'll that we should not have OBJ
Jected in the least to having had their
entire concert. Yea, we might even
have been persuaded to forego our
classes for the rest of the afternoon,
but the Lawrence boys evidently
thought 1t not wise example for
higher education to set and left us
after a few jolly numbers that made
all our boys long to be college lads
and sing in a college glee club
WI - > Ntlttl RGitSi WHICH the
Hl-4 boys have been conducting dur
ing the past week has been of great
interest and real help to all concerned.
A card, which was the work of Mr..
Babcock and in which he set forth the
underlying principles of clean living
was distributed among the boys with
the obvious suggestion that these prin-
ciples be made a part of each boys
life. The card reads as follows:
TIE FOUR C'S OF A SUCCESSFUL
LIFE
Clean Speech, Clean Athletics, Clean
Habits, Clean Scholarship
Il would be True
For there are those who trust me;
| would be Pure
For there are those who care;
would be Strong
For there are those who suffer;
| would be Brave
For there is much to bear"
Blessed are the pure in heart for

Spring athletics are we'll under way.
Twelve baseball suits are here and are
now waiting for twelve enthusiastic
knights of the diamond, when they
have proved themselves worthy.
In spite of the objections that Mr..
Weather Man has seen fit to offer to
outdoor practice for our track and
field aspirants, the boys have been
keeping up the good work which they
started two or three weeks ago, by
making daily use Of the gym, and we
predict real success for w. H. S. in
this new athletic venture.
A Girls baseball team will be or
gained in the near future. If you
want some real fun, girls, come out
and join the game.

derived from it, the opposition that

Harold Bahr told of the qualifica-
tions of an amateur athlete and showed
what was considered to be profession
alism in college athletics. Standards,
he said, differed in the various schools
of the country, and until definite
rules were made which would be con-
sidered binding to all, the term anna
teur would be difficult to define.
A debate was held on the question,
Resolved: That summer baseball

The negative was upheld by Elmer

Interesting Facts

Interesting Facts
The slight chance of distinguished
success open to the boy or girl with
out schooling is forcibly pointed out
Dy Mckinney and Simons, noted edu-
Gators, who made thorough investi-
gation. The great number of cases
investigated showed that:
With No Schooling
of five million, only 81 attained dis
tinction.
With Elementary Schooling
Of SO million, sos attained distine-
ton.
With High School Education
Of two million, 1245 attained dis
tinction.
With College Education
OF one million, 5768 attained dis
tinction.
The child with no schooling has one
chance in 10000 of performing dis
tinguished service; with elementary
education he has four times the
chance; with high school education,
81 times the chance; with college ed
ucation, 500 times the chance.
Which chance do you prefer?
