The Marshall p. Smith baseball team
scored one Of its most notable victories
Of the season last night at Tenth and
Butler streets In turning back the
Logan A. A. by the score Of 3 to 0.
All the runs of the store boys were
made in the seventh session. when they
landed on the slants of Whitworth.
Henratty opened this session with n
long fly to left. Heldick singled. David
followed suit. Kite also hit safely,
scoring Heidick. Licbert singled,
counting Davis and Kite.
The game was played in less than an
hour, only fifty eight minutes being re-
QIired, and was the fastest seen at
Tenth and Butler streets all season.
Pete Liebert was on the hill for the
home team and played one Of his best
games. Five double plays by the Smith
team, in which Gallagher, Heidick,
Rath and Kite participated, proved a
big feature, together with remarkable
catch by Heidick in center field. Nc
Connell, Of Logan. speared three line
drives that cut off hits in every instance
for the store boys.

LANsDALE VS.. sTRAWBRIDeE

A busy mid week list Of independent
games Is on the twilight list for the
local fans this evening. One Of the
contests brings together the South
Philly Hebrews and Ardmore at Thir-
teenth and johnson streets.
The Sphas will have their strongest
line up in the game. and the Main LIN
crs are after revenge, rs they were
nosed out by Eddie Gottlieb's boys on
Monday in a close contest at Ardmore.
"Epp" Michel will likely twirl for
Ardmore, while "Chickie" Passon will
toll for the Sphas.
The South Phils are also at homo at
Broad and Bigler streets, with Spring
team, Of tho Montgomery County
League. Many local stars Of note are
In the visitors lineup and should make
the downtowners hustle.

for the fans. James Bonner, who guides
the destinies of Shanahan, has made
arrangements with the Baltimore Black
Sox to battle his athletes.
The churchmen had a winning streak
Of seven straight up to last week, when
IL was sudttcTeu, anu tuey nave dropped
several contests since. Bonner is out
to have his lineup all set for the biz
series and wants to take the number OF
the Baltimore invaders.
Strawbridge & Clethier will fnce
the hardest kind Of a proposition when
it stacks up against Lansdale at
Sixty second and Walnut streets. Lans.
dale Is undoubtedly one Of the best
teams in this section, and Mellinger or
Durbin will be on the hill against Nc
MILAN or johnson.
DObs0n at Stenton
J. & J. Dobson, one Of the competi-
tors in the northern section Of the
p. B. A., meets Stenton, its rival
for championship 'honors. Stenton

At Tenth and Butler streets the

How Black Cats Got Bad Repute.

The origin of the superstitious aver
sion to black cats is believed to date
back 900 years to the Sevennes noun
tain district of France. At that time
one William, abbot of a monastery be-
side the river Herault, and before then
a warrior in the Crusades, decided to
build bridge across the swift, noun
tain stream. But as fast as the foun-
dations for the piers were put down
they were swept away by the torrent.
He persisted for long time and final
ly decided that his lack of success was
due to interference by the devil.
He is supposed then to have invoked
the Evil One and made a compact
with him by the terms of which the
abbot would complete the bridge. but
the first animal to cross it would be-
long thereafter to the devil. So It
came about, and the first animal to
cross the bridge was black cat.

Writers Got Money in Advance.

The Seventeenth or Eighteenth CEN
fury author traded rather more on
the trustfulness of the public than
does the new school, for he peddled
his book before it was written and
sometimes spent the proceeds before
he had completed half dozen chap
ters. The only difference is that his
peddling was particular rather than
general; he went round the houses
of the great and wealthy with his
"plan" and the great and wealthy.
generally in sufficient numbers, got
rid Of him by agreeing to have their
names put down for subscription.
IF they were very great or very
wealthy they might expect dedica~
ton thrown in, as it were, in which
respect the modern peddler has
no advantage. for no obligation is i'm
piled in the purchase of copy OF the
Guardian.

Two Kinds of Thinkers.

There are two kinds of people in
the world-wOrd people and fact
people. The former deal in words and
phrases and form their judgments on
opinions and beliefs. The latter
analyze questions and draw con-
illusions only from the point of view
Of what they believe to be established
facts. The two types are as far apart
as the north and south poles and are
incapable of carrying on anything in
the way of intelligent argument or de-
bate, because they do not talk the
same language or think by the same
method. The word man starts with
desired conclusion and fashions his
facts to produce that result. The
fact man analyses his subject, seeks
to establish the truth in regard to
facts which have a bearing on it and
then fearlessly draws what he be-
lieves to be honest conclusions. His
process is like the working out Of
mathematical problem; he does not
know what the answer will be until
the last figure is made. He thinks for
ward while the word man thinks
backward.

To Utilize Waste Time.

A system in vogue in a few New
York department stores to utilize the
spare time of their employees when
customers are few is to hold meetings
of a semi-social character, in which a
part or the whole of their forces can
participate One of the most popular
and beneficial of those systems, from
the viewpoint of the employers and the
employees, is to assemble the forces
and sing songs and hear short address
es delivered on general subjects by
store executives or others. A daily
use of that system, according to one
store manager who has had the system
in practice for considerable time, is
to infuse greater enthusiasm among
it's employees for their work and to
inculcate spirit of cooperation be-
tween the employer and his employees
