JUST A SUGGESTION.

Many hundreds of interested men. women and
boys yesterday witnessed the baseball games put
en- by the local amateurs.
These games are an important part OF civic
life perhaps much more important than the meet
ngs OF the city council the grave gatherings OF
business men who sagely discuss the problems of
the day.
FOR these games in touch with real life and
spring from very human emotions. They
likewise are more conducive to neighbory spirit
and friendship than other enterprises which may
appeal 20 the more dignihed.
Being public in character and working vast bene-
fits for the public betterment. they should be given
every public convenience and facility.
The city owns very fine benches which
available for band concerts. They might prohtaoy
b offered TO the amateur baseball teams for the
of their crowds
II might happen, just happen you know, that the
wives sveethear;s and the sisters OF these

siasm OF Players Why not. next Saturday, just

the SAIL for2" inquired Jones, star
ing at me in angry amazement."
Didn't you tell me to haul the
sail?"
Il never said anything about the
sail"
You said to haul the sheet some
where?"
Jones Strengthened up and elared
at me.
Are you such an unmitigated
landlubber that you don't know what
a sheet is?" He thrust a rope into
my hands This is the sheet-pull
it, if you have sense enough. We've
only got 10 minutes to get TO the
starting line.
This roper" I inquired.
Don't say rope" snapped Jones.
That is a line. not a rope. Nothing
is a rope. Remember that If you
can. Now pull"
I pulled. To my surprise and de-
light the sail began 10 swing in to-
ward the stern. shaking off the water
in which il had sunk as It came. I
really felt that 1 was accomplishing
something.
When the mass OF It was where II
seemed to belong, with Jones gather
ing in the slack he gave me another
line. and told me to pull on that.
Slowly the sail climbed up the
mast.
Now make your halyard fast"
Jones commanded.
II don't see any halvar5 "
The halyard is the line you've got
in your hand. you blithering moron,
Make 1t fast"
How do you mean. make II fast ?"
Tie IL, Tie II 20 that cleat"
I tied It 20 something I supposed
was a cleat, but which was really the
end of an oar, which without warn
ing shot up to the head Of the mast
while the sail came 5illowing down
into the water again.
Jones leaped from his side OF the
boat over the sail, and Selling me by
the shoulders suddenly trust me
back on the dock.
Get out Of here" he snarled, get
out OF here and don't ever come pack
again. I've lost the chance TO get TO
the starting line. and I've lost the
race I was certain 10 win. Why IN
thunder I ask half-witted people TO
sail with me I don't know. I guess
I'm too blamed good-natured"
1t IS my private opinion that Jones
guessed wrong that time

changed now.
Jones had proved a congenial COM

the front porch of an evening. He
was cheerful, easy TO please and full
of fun. All his acquaintances spoke
OF him as a kindly chap-a little too
gentle perhaps, and too easily Inn

way, assured me that this would be
all right.

said, land all you will have TO do IS
TO follow instructions. I'm going TO

me into one bad mistake The local

that these were what the yachtsmen
all wore. The cap was the first irrit-

one long to be remembered.

Increasing ease in the banking
