You do not need training of any
particular kind. Your ambition is
sound and your spirit seems to he
fine. 1t is not essential that you
should have college work to make
YOU eligible for ma jor league base
ball There are far more ball players
in big league base ball who are not
college men then otherwise.
You can get help by going to col.
lege sometimes because you have the
benefit of a coach. q fine diamond
and fine associa ton, but If you should
go to college TO play base ball and not
to get along with your studies | am
afraid that the college would do you
little good, because the moment you
failed in your examinations your
career as a ball player would be over.
Sandlots Good School.
There is nothing taught at college
in base ball way that cannot be
learned on the diamonds of your own
city. The difference between college
base ball and your base ball Is that
the college men go out regularly 80
take practice and to try to find
place on the team because a coach
insists upon it. You have no coach
to make you go out, but IL seems to
me that if YOU are as anxious to make
a good bali player as you appear to
be. that il will not be necessary for
Won to put yourself under a coach.
Play every time YOU have an OPP
portunity. If there are old bali
players in Lorain. and undoubtedly
there are. since every city has one
or two. go to them and ask them for
instructions as to the best thing to do
regarding the little details of the
catching job. They can tell you as
well as college coach.
Remember one thing in trying to he
a catcher and that is that you must
every rule in the book
and understand each one thoroughly.

stay low and roll. or get up and float.
Hitting above the center or below it
on the ball at will is an ability that
serves the player well on such oc.
casions. Hitting the ball this way
makes exceptionally good practice for
the eye. Many a putt fails to- sink
because the eye has not been trained
to hold it's focus on the ball.

Coolidge " ants
Butler to Remain
G.. O. p. Chairman

WASHINGTON Nov. Is. - Presi-
dent Coolidge sees even less reason
for William NJ Butler to retire as
chairman of the Republican National
Committee, now that he has been
defeated for reelection to the Senate
than before the elections.
While it was made clear at the
White House that President Coolidge
had not discussed the matter with
Mr.. Butler, it was pointed out that
he would now have more time to
devote to the chairmanship than
when he was occupied with his
duties as Senator.
Insofar as the elections are con-
cerned, the President believes the
true test of national sentiment, to
the degree that it could be furnished
in an offset election, was provided
By the election of the House of Rep
resentatives, which reached into
every district in every state, and
not by the Senate election, in which
only one third of the country was
represented in the voting.

spiritual leader. His interest in the
miners was second only to that in
his church and diocese and his rela-

such that his influence had bene-

of many faiths.
Bishop Hoban frequently was call

and aid in their disputes with the
operators and several times he was
credited with bringing the two sides
together in amicable agreement, gen.
orally favorable to the miners. The
confidence of the miners in the
bishop was such that even at times
when they did not agree with his
suggestions they accepted them
knowing that he was acting not only
