which Benton had pitched before going
to the New York Giants-decided he was
worth $4,000, and offered to buy him
from St. Paul at that figure. But the
president of the National League blocked
the transaction, saying that BeE.9n
could not be admitted to that league.
Cincinnati demanded reason, and con-
sequently the National League club own
ers put the matter up to High Commits
sioner Lands, who was appointed at
the time of the Chicago White Sox scam
dial to turn the bright light of publicity
upon baseball and thus keep it purged
OF crookodncss. As yet, however, not a
word concerning Bcnton's case has been
given to the public-and of course the
public is talking scandal"
What is troubling the baseball fans
is why Benton could properly play with
niinor-lcague club if there was any
question as to his fitness for major
league activity, if the minor-lcaguc club
as was actually the case-was in "or-
ganized baseball"
Then there is the case of "Stuffy" Nc
Innis, reputed to be the best fielding
iirst-baseman in the American League
Not loEg ago McInnis was uncondition-
ally released by Cleveland. To do this
Cleveland had to secure waivers; that
is, every other club in the league was
offered a chance to get McInnis at
fixed, or waiver" price. But no club
would take him. Why? McInnis was
a star of undimnishcd magnitude
Asked for an explanation, big-league
officials talked about the weather, the
European situation, radio-anything or
anybody but McInnis and his release.
Scandal Scandal!
Maybe this is the way to "clean up
baseball and keep it clean"-inaybe.
But certain it is that the baseball world
has not been rid of scandals; rather
does the crop seem to be increasing
Doubtless there are some smart men
at the head of the majorlcague clean
up" campaign, but if they think that
they Can keep down scandal by covering
up indications of crookcdness with a
blanket of silence, they don't know much
about human nature.

QUEER CURE FOR SCANDAL

"Pitiless publicity" seems to have suf-
fered the same fate in the baseball world
as it did in the realm of governmental
affairs, if recent developments are not
misleading. After the great scandal
of 1919, majer-league reformers an
nounced to the world that they were
out to clean up the game and keep it
clean; that they would most certainly
expose any degree of crookedness that
might be discovered in the national sport
and leave it to them to be on the
lookout therefor.
But latterly they seem to be pursu-
ing new course in their cleanup cam
paign. Instead of turning the bright
light of publicity upon the game and
those who make it, they appear to be
surrounding all signs of crookedness with
a closely woven veil of secrecy Thus,
instead OF minimizing scandals, they are
bidding fair to multiply them.
Some little detail leaks out; every
body in authority is asked about it, but
nobody will say word. Hush Hush
There1l be scandal! Then there is a
scandal, sure enough. What more nat
ural than that the baseball fan should
conclude that the authorities of the game
are trying to cover up scandals rather
than make the game clean and keep
1t clean?
Some seasons ago it was charged that
Rube Benton, star pitcher for the New
York Giants, had been offered a bride
to throw" a game he was pitching.
He denied it. Then one or two other
players said that he was crooked" APP
parcntly the charge was never sifted
to the bottom. However, Benton didn't
last long with the Giants after that; he
went to the St. Paul club of the Ameri-
can Association. minor league. Last
year. when he did Comeback" with
the St. Louis club, several major-league
clubs sought to "rcsurrect' him.

A grove which springs through levcled battements
And twines its roots with the inNerial hearths

ly to get on in the world that the
poorly dressed one, not merely be-
cause people are more fayorably i'm
pressed by the appearance of the for
mer, hut because the consciousness
of being well dressed expands and en-
ergizes the personality. Whereas the
consciousness of being poorly dressed
has what psychologists would call an
inhibitory effect on all the mental pro-
eesses.
Clearly, then, more thought should
be given to the psychic bearings of
personal possessions than usually is
given.
Understand well, however, that it is
not a question of multiplying possess
sions. To own too many things con-
stitutes in itself a psychic hazard. 1t
is n question solely of selecting pos
sessions with reference less TO their
material cost and worth than to their
mental and moral reactions on those
who will have to love with them.
And some day the great significance

ciated as it ought TO be. When that
day comes We shall at last be fairly

lie indeed WIS wise man VINO
penncd these sentences:
Things react, and sometimes great
ly, on the soul. We cannot live in
a vacuum. There are unacceptable re-
lationsnips between possession and
personality. Not little of our sense
of self gathers around and grows out
OF that which belongs TO u.s."
So true is this that every one. of
us is TO no small extent affected for
good or ill by the clothes that he
buys and wears, the kind of furni-
ture that he puts in his home, the
pictures, the hangings, the hric-a-
brac wherewith he adorns II.
1t may be urged that if We choose
these unwisely it is not our tault
so much as our misfortune. Wisdom
and good taste in choosing personal
possessions are not inherited gifts.
They are the products of education
and cultivation of sort not all of us
have had.
Which does not alter one whit the
consequences of unwise choosing. 1t
only goes to emphasize the import
anee of making sure that our chill
dren will receive the proper education
and ultivation-and. if need be, of
cnGeavoring to obtain that education
and cultivation for ourselves, however
belatedly.
For it is never too late TO learn
aesthetic values, to train ones self
to reject tho vulgar, the gaudy, the
tawdry. The more we Danish such
possessions, the more attractive VIC
make cur home surroundings, the
easier will it be for us to lead really
satisfying lives.
Nay, SO profoundly do the things
we own influence us that at times
even minor possessions become de-
eisive factors in the Shaping of our
careers, and it may be in determining
the state of our health.

EDUCATED IGNORANCE

According to an Austin dispatch, men,
bers of the legislature the other day
listened to a speech by national COM
missioner of education in which he urged
a better educational system for Texas
and called attention to the fact that
Texas ranks thirty-ninth in education,
among the states of the union.
The commissioner undoubtedly meant
we'll. He had the good of education at
heart, no doubt, as did the legislators
who heard him. But so many educators
of today, in discussing education, take
Me arbitrary position that because a
nate does not measure up to certain
standards, it necessarily is an uncdu-
Gated state. Such is the case when
Texas is classified as thirty-ninth among
