up, but that does not mean that the
catcher does not last as long as other
players. In fact, the catcher often
lasts longer than any of them Ray
Schalk, for instance, still is going
good after years of work behind the
bat. Grover Hartley has been catch
ing more than Is years. The slowing
up of the catcher is largely due TO his
constant crouching position. That
robs the legs of their fiexibility. It
is rare that catcher remains fast
for any great length of time. Still,
great speed is not required of a
catcher and for that reason he does
good work for many years.
An infielder's career of usefulness,
on the other hand, depends almost
entirely on the speed of his legs.
Though he may throw with accuracy
and hit up among the leaders, his
position requires that he bound about
the infield with great speed. The
same thing applies to outfielders, ex-
cept that the latter are not in rapid
action SO constantly.

Giants Work Unbalanced.

Line GIANTS have fallen down in the
face of several good opportunities, but
their task has been little harder due
t1 inability to get all the players
working in their regular positions for
any length of time. 1t has unbalanced
their work at times
1t is more difficult than the average
fan possibly appreciates for an in
nelder, no matter how versatile he
may be, to shift from one position to
another and play it smoothly They
may field the balls just as brilliantly
and throw just as accurately, but it is
In the mechanics of double plays and
in ether close work that difficulties
arise. A trained shortstop, for ex-
ample. cannot work as smoothly
around second base, when playing on
the other side of the bag, because his
short tosses to the bag are made from
a strange angle. Second basemen
feel similar awkwardness Double
plays get to be mechanical. a. sort of
second nature, and a player out of
position loses the rhythm of such
work.
1t is hard on an infielder to change
him around constantly, but in our
case accidents made it unavoidable
We would have a smooth infield with
Kelly at first, Frisch at second, Jack
son at short and Groh at third. At
no time this season, however. have we
been able to line them up that way.
Other clubs have had this same
diffieulty. but that is not true of the
Pirates.
AS Have Strong Pitching.
The Washington club appears to
have worked more smoothly and
steadily than any of the American
League clubs, but even that has not
been able to overcome the wonderful
pitching and hitting of the Athletics.
The Athletics are blessed with good
pitching much like the Reds in the
National League. The difference is
that the Athletics have more punch
more run-making power With a
harder punch behind them the Reds
would be dangerous right now. Their
pitching is exceptionally good
At this time of the year many of
the clubs are beginning to try out
their new men and consequently have
been compelled to pass up a few of
the veterans. 1 have been asked. in
view Of this, my opinions as to where
I ball player first shows signs of
slowing up. Almost invariably the
legs give the first indication that a
player is beginning to slip. In the
outfield it is noted in a mans failure
to get that first jump or spring in
going for a fly ball. The younger
player with flexible muscles starts
with an easy bound. The older a
man gets the more deliberate and
slower he is in starting. 1t applies
to men in any walk of life. AS the
legs move the whole body, their
muscles are first to show the strain.
These muscles must be just as strong
even stronger-but they do not CO.
ordinate speedily. Even a pitcher is
often slowed up by his legs more than
his arms.
Does the catching position slow a
man up quicker than the other posi-
tions?" asks one correspondent
In what position does a player
usually last the longest?" is another.
Catching usually does slow man

In several previous races the Pirates
were well out in front counting on a
pennant, only to fall in the last few
weeks and suffer disappointment. 1t
is plain that the Pittsburgh club still
has this feeling of apprehension. An
opposing club can feel it.
Even the fans in Pittsburgh reflect
this feeling of uncertainty and are
cautious about becoming too conf
dent. They remember what has hap
pened in the past and hold their en-
thusiasm in check. Besides that the
papers constantly remind the club of
the danger of slipping and have thus
helped TO create the spirit of appre-
hension. For those reasons the play

FIXING THE BUSINESS DISTRICT

Bismarck has had remarkable growth in the last ten
The nature of it's business section is frequently
subject of favorable comment 1t is not street city and
the business should be interested and alert in seeing
that its we'll rounded development not retarded by the
intrusion of Fairgrounds extension of school facilities

This city it grows will naturally develop east and west
along the following streets: Main, Broadway, Thayer and
Rosser Chief streets to ersect these running north and
south will naturally be Seventh Sixth Fifth FOURTH Third
and Second Within these boundaries far possible the
development should be along business lines
Unfortunately before anyone realized the rapid develop
ment of the business section of the city, the Will school was
located hemed in upon wholly inadequate plot of ground
If it is proposed to add little back yard to this school
house through the purchase of lots Fourth street. the
plan should be discouraged by all those interested in the
business development of Fourth street
In the first place the lots discussed possible back
yard for the Will school too small for recreation
pose They also located in the line of natural
sion of the business section of Bismarck.
AS Bismarck grows, it is not beyond possibility that
the entire block bounded by Thayer Rosser Fourth and
Fifth streets will be business property and desirable for
dustries of kind another That day be
than most people realize when the property occupied by the
Will school will be valuable for business purposes than
for school facilities.
for playground purposes touching the business section
of Bismarck would be the heghth of folly Any proposal
along such line should be discouraged for it is not in har
with the proposed coming plans recently fathered by
the Association of Commerce.

PRESIDENT A SHOW,
BUT NOT A CIRCUS

President Coolidge wants no fuss
about his inaugural, but he does pro-
pose to make trips around the coun-
try, to get acquainted with the peo-
pie, and to let them. get acquainted
With him. :.
1t is, of course, the best possible
way to bring the people and the
president into personal touch, and
that is good thing to do.
But let US take warning. We have
literally killed the last two presi.
dents by the way we "entertained'
them.
Roosevelt's life was shortened
partly by the same thing.
Garfield and Mckinley were sac
rificed to our imitation democratic
accessibility Of the president.
Harrison was not physically killed
but his temper was spoiled.
President Coolidge, fortunately, is
young, strong and cool. He will sur
vive our worst. But he, should be
spared it.
The president has to be show
but he does not have to be a circus
Especially, he does not have to be
subjected to the ambition of seven
million people to see him separately
and pers onally, one at a time.

MYSTERY CHILDREN SUITS
columbia RecOrlb


Press dispatches lately have car
ried news concerning contests for
babies in half a dozen cities of the
country. So far more of the judges
have been able to settle such
claims as skillfully as did Solo
mon, though most of the modern
courts have referred to the Biblical
case.
When Solomon. son of David,
was king Of Israel, there came be-
fore him two women, each of whom
claimed to be the mother OF one
and the same baby. AS they ar
gued with evident glaring eyes and
frowns before Solomon. he museu.
Suddenly he cut the argument
short by sending for the court
swordsmen, for the purpose, as he
urbanely announced, of cutting the
baby in two, SO that each of the
women could receive half of it.
At this announcement one of the
women shouted to the king in a
dramatic plea: 20. my lord, give
her the child; never kill it," The
other one CODY said: "No, divide
it; neither of US Shall have it."
King Solomons eyes twinkled.
"Give yonder woman the child, in
stead OF killing it; she is its moth
err"
But Solomon was the worlds
wisest man at that time. We
sometimes believe that is why he
had such a good time.

TOM MARSHALL'S BEDS
Grand Rapids PreSS)

(Grand Rapids PreSS)
Tom Marshall, former vice pres
idcnt Of the United States, bought
chair in Grand Rapids thirty
years ago, and about the same
time he picked up a couple Of the
good old beds that were popular
along with macassar oil and man
sarL' roofs. He says they were
good beds from the standpoint OF
timber and carpenteriug. He still
has them.
But the trouble was that you had
to have Tom Marshall's rare sense
of llumor to live with them after
the idea of beauty in furniture
had transformed styles in Amer
lea. Mr.. Marshall can appreciate
a walnut horror going on a ton in
weight, and distinguished princi-
pally by scrollwork turned out ex-
temporaneously by a foreman with
a jig saw, and probably nailed on
afterward. But it takes genuine
antique lover, man who coul,.
stand up in front of the United
States Senate day after day and
relish the experience.
For the average American it is
probably good thing that thirty
years of thought and effort and in
SEPARATION have been expended by the
American furniture industry in
getting away from the stagnation
of all artistic ambition which was
represented in these grand old beds
of Tom Marshall's.

er's death, yet Leslie, poor dear, is
not wholly to blame. She has been
trying to do up to date, something
that no woman can do. She has been
worshiping an ideal. This Of course
can be done if one does not try to
compress it into human form.
l have almost come to the conclu-
sion, Walter, dear, that this is the
great trouble with marriage. A wo-
man never really loves man-just
man with all his frailties and fol-
bles. She loves the ideal she has en-
shrined in his physical shape. Then
when she finds ,out-as she is sure
to do-that her husband is nothi,
like what she has thought he was,
if she is big enough to rearrange her
idea and piece together some sort of
subterfuge she may be able to set
tie down to a kind of compromise be-
tween her ideal and his hard fact. =
