THE GOOD OF SPORT TO YOING AMERICA

What q deal of space in the newspapers is devoted to sport nowadays. One would think that an astonishingly large part of the population is interested in nothing else, especially during the good old summer time"
 The total of space devoted to this subject has been increasing every year. That must mean that publications have found that the sporting rews commands unfailing readcr-intcrest, and that no mis- take is made in catering to the in- stinct for reading about outdoor events. Column upon column O space goes into the sport hopper, and few publications are exempt from the prevailing mode,
 Unlike the by-product of financial nows. there is no great amount of advertising that is produced through the emphasis upon sporting news. If there is any advertising in con ucc,ion with if. fl is of that free nature which goes with chronicling inc mulrifarious events there rec crded. The professional baseball leagues. for instance. do not need 10 be heavy advertisers because they get if free of charge. The in- function 10 beware of free advfr- Using and publicity does not apply 10 any sports editor throughout the land; each and every one of them can advertise tho business Of pro fassional sport all they like. The league magua'rs thrive from the system: and th" publications gain readers. II seems 10 be a fair deal on both sides
 Hut amateur sport is receiving considerably more space in news papers than 1t formerly did, except in som, cities. The metropolitan lunrr~ are auiss in this respect. moi being uulc to handle the multi tudo Of amateur events in largr .ifv u-ulIIv -INmg them very brief mention. In ,ae smaller cities, however. with comparatively fewer such events to handle, the situa- tiou is reversed, and newspapers in th.~r cities bayr found lt greatly 10 their advantage and th" satis- faction Of thc public to give fair space 10 such events.
 Throughout the nation as a whole amateur baseball is reported 10 be rrgaining the place il formerly had in the regard of young America. For few years ii was thought Ina, other games would cut into inc following of the national game; inc sand lots in thu cities were disap- bearing as new apartment houses were reared upon them; boys had TO place to play the gam" even when they wished 10 indulge in the great outdoor sport But with he increasing number of diamonds ar ranged in public parks and through

the help Of various organizations, the old-time baseball fever has come back.
 The American Legion lent a stalwart hand in this recrudescence of amateur baseball, organizing thousands Of teams of lads under IT years throughout the country; offered prizes and stimulated par ticipation In every possible way. The idea has been that playing baseball throughout the summer is better occupation than idleness; and it has been the Legions belief that such sport would be q good antidote against mischief making, gang life and crime by youths. There can. scarcely be room for di- vergent opinions upon this point. The boys who play hard and get themselves tired at night arc in no mood for mischief
 Due 10 the bigger opportunities for playing baseball in the smaller cities. and towns than in the large cities, 1t is notable that most Of the big league material has come from i the semi rural districts, The boys on the farms and in the small towns usually take their baseball seriously and in time develop into good diamond performers; it is nat ural, therefore, that they should i have the advantage in reaching the 1 big leagues. Amateur city teams as ] q rule have a hard time in defeat 1 ing the farm boys" as they usual ly are called.
 Wholesome stimulation Of sport activities in the young is a good way to help them in the way they should go. There may be a danger of laying too much emphasis upon professional sport, or upon indi- vidusl teams; but there can scarce ly be such a danger in connection with sport in general, the enthusi- astc small lot performers who get a deal of fun and satisfaction out
 Of 1t, keep their minds clean while
 they are thus occupied, develop
 their keen wits, give vent 10 their
 youthful energy. and profit in the
 development of strength and
 agility.

 one of that ostcnsibly joyous event, | the amateur play. This absolutely
 surpasses the most terrific weapon of the Spanish inquisition and far transcends the most cruel invention of the Venetian Council Of Three. Those were bad enough, but they were concentrated in both time and place. And inc play has so many ianglcs.
 The choice Of the play. The
 wrangling over ret pieces of the various persons concerned. The lcompromise on one satisfactory 10 nobody. The assumed indifference when candid; tes for the cast are tried out, inc necessity Of coaXinE--- and the disappointmcnts and slurs at tayorit .am when the cast is final 1 ly completed.

The char acter who is as stiff as a wooden horse. The one who ovcracts hor- ribly. The one who thinks she's
 cute. The brilliant genius who looks down on the inferior members Of 1 the cast and suggests to the director ! so many wonderfully hopeless ideas. |Tho crowd of hangers-on who won't dccamp but sit in the back rows | and gigg!.
 I The difficult act. The slow re- i sponsc 10 cues, The chap who all iways walks in one door as every ! one turns toward the other. The SImp who Wise-cracks on his lines. i The verbal chastisements from the idirector. The near-row which al

 The ticket-sclIing. The fear that mo one will come. The fear that som one will. The alright at think | ing what will happen to you if you sell people tickets and the play is a. | flop. The discovery that the tickets

hard to hit and-at the same time
hard to avoid, for Paul is not the

Stribling is the younger manS by
three years and has gained most. OF
his experience in battle. He possesses
two good hands, with the right most
