Cardinals Don't Argue

Neither Southworth nor Dyer will
stand for any such rowdy tactics.
And what team has been the most
aggressive outfit in baseball for the
last 10 years? You know the an
swer. The Cardinals. But they
take out their aggressiveness in hus-
tie and scrappiness on the field,
Their opponents are the other teams
mot the umpires.
No umpire ever heard Walter
Johnson make any sort Of kick.
"In a sudden lapse, I called a
pitch that almost split the plate a
ball against Walter Johnson" Billy
Evans told me. johnson never even
frowRsd. ! apologized later for my
mistake. Yes, 1 knew It was a
strike Johnson said, but we all

Ted Williams. He went to bat with
two on and took third strike. No
squawk.
WAS that a good one2" l asked
him. t.
Yes" Ted said. ut cut the out
side corner by an inch, II fooled
me. 1t was swell pitch"
That's the way baseball should be.
The great majority of the big names
in the game are that way. They
don't have to throw their alibis al
the umpire. Cy Young, Mathewson.
Alexander. Johnson-four Of the
greatest of all pitchers. never had
any umpire trouble.
II ball players want TO show their
aggressiveness, why not score from
first on single to center to win
a world series. as Country Slaugh-
ter did? Or run bases as the Cardi-
mails run bases?

don't believe this is true. 1t may
have its appeal to a few, inclined to
the mucker side. but not TO the mass
Of spectators, who go out to get
their thrills from hard fought bat
tie on the field, not to hear salvo
of billingsgate directed at some man
in blue. If this has become tradi-
ton, then it is a tradition that should
be ended.
Fight and aggressiveness are a
big part of the game, but they
should be directed against the OPP
posing team, not against an able
arbiter, whose average Of ability
is too often well above the aver
age of the ball players skill.
Umpires today are carefully Sc
lected and well trained, Their s-s-
ord for honesty in the last 40 years
surpasses any other record in sport.

there is too much evil in our
times!"
She who had been so strong now
began to weep a little. ITO think
these two dead were once the sons
of women" she muttered. Thus
murmuring, she went out, leaning
on Wang Chen's arm. Virtue fol-
lowed after them. Little Big was
asleep on her shoulder. He had
hardly stirred when the shot was
fired. Behind her the Wangs gath
cred, and went each to his own
house soberly, wife and children
following each husband and father.
Only Great-Grandfather was
left in the hall, and with him the
two serving men. Let the priests
be called for this teacher" he
directed. "As for the refuse here
on the floor, it had better be buried
somewhere in the hills before
dawn brings those airplanes here
again" Then he too got up and
went to his bed.
By midnight Wang's Corners
was as quiet as ever. What hap
pened had happened, and the
Wangs were asleep. Even Great
Grandmother was asleep, having
obeyed Heaven.
ONLY Virtue lay awake. Her
head was on Wang Chen's breast.
He was talking: IF times are like
this - if a man cannot speak
what he wishes, if he cannot look
to Heaven for justice, then good
men must right the wrong -"
Under her right ear Virtue
heard the beat of his heart. Each
man in his generation" Wang
Chen was saying, for the sake of
his sons"
She listened to his heart. Steady
and strong, faultlessly true to the
beat of the blood, the good Wang
blood, the plain Wang blood,
fathers and sons, the common men
who never ruled nor can be ruled!
How can live here in our vii
lage as though the times were
good?" he demanded of her in the
darkness. Il must go out and see
what is going on among evil men,"
Il am afraid for you," she said.
Am l the only good man." he
retorted. There must be thou
sands like me. l have only to find
them"
She put her hand to his cheek
and he pressed it to his mouth.
But you," he muttered you
must let me go!'
VIRTUE was very young, but she
had inherited wisdom. when

sorrowfully. He liked the dead
man.
He melted the people," the
man said sullenly.
How did he incite the people?"
Wang Chen asked. Virtue made
signs to him that he ought not
thus to take the case away from
the elders, but he ignored her.
The man did not answer.
Burn him, Great -Grandmoth-
er said amiably.
The man answered: He praised

mother. Tell US everything"
HE man held his swollen hands
straight out before him, and tears
of agony ran down his cheeks. He
did not dare to keep back any
thing from her. But he was spite

are all ignorant. In times of war,
no one can speak as he likes. In

Conform to WHAT" Wang
Chen asked.

the man said arrogantly.
DO you mean Heaven" Great
Grandmother asked.
NO" the man said, with con-
tempt of her ignorance.
Then say what you mean"
Great Grandmother said gently.
Il 1mean from those men above"
"Ah," Great Grandmother said,
those rulers"
Did they tell you to shoot this
teacher?" Wang Chen asked.
He deserved to be shot, tell
you," the man retorted. He
praised a rebel, and he declared
that he had the right to say what
he liked. and he refused disci-
pline."
ALL was silence after this. The
Wangs reflected upon what they
had heard, and the man blew on
his blistered palms and wiped his
eyes on his sleeves. wait till
those above hear of this, he NUT
tered. Nobody paid any heed to
him.

peror," Great Grandfather said,

Grandfather said.

Wang Chen's father murmured.
Wang Chen said nothing. He

patched. He had not eaten we'll

Great Grandmother retorted. I'VE
had better obey Heaven"
A ffutter of movement went over
the assembled Wangs. The elders
could decide, but who would exc
cute? I'VE have no provision for
killing men here" Grandmother
demonstrated. 1T would be very
unpleasant. and the children ought
not to see so much blood"
There is very little blood on
the dead man." Great Grand
mother argued. With this toy,
only little hole brought death"
She took the thing out of her
breast pocket and looked at it
with admiration.
Great Grandmother, none of
us here has ever killed anyone"
Virtue dared to say. She was
afraid Great-Grandrnother would
ask Wang Chen to kill the stran-
ger, and she did not want her hus-
band to kill even a wicked man.
That is true" Great Grand
mother admitted. II myself would
not care to do it. But this man is
murderer already. 1t will not add
to his crimes if he kills yet one
more"
She motioned the two serving
men to bring the man near. Set
the candles here on the table"
They did so.
Seize his wrists" she COM
manded next. They obeyed her.
Give him this weapon, she
said then. You are to hold him
so that he does not turn it any
where but to himself" She gave
gateman the gun and he pressed
it into the mans burned palm.
lHE man would have dropped
it, but the gateman clasped the
mans hands about it. He screamed
with pain. Great Grandmother
lifted a candle, and held it close
and more close. Suddenly the man
obeyed her. They heard a noise,
fash of smoke - then silence.
The man slid to the floor, a heap
of western garments.
Great Grandmother sighed.
Now give me that toy" she COM
manded. Il shall put it where no
one can ever find it again"
She got up, and suddenly she
looked very tired. Wang Chen ran
to support her, and she clung to
him.

GOSPEL TALKS
BY Rev. r. c. Valentine
A PSALM FOR THANKSGIVING


Psalm 1T
o praise the Lord, all we nations:
praise Him, all We people. For His
merciful kindness is great toward
us: and the truth of the Lord endur-
eth for ever. Praise we the Lord
If on this Thanksgiving Day you
opened your Bible exactly in the
middle you would find before you
this appropriate Psalm for Thanks
giving. Not only is this Psalm the
central portion of the Bible but it
is also the shortest chapter of the
Scripture. While it is very little in
its letters, it is exceedingly large in
its spirit. Bursting beyond all
bounds of race or nationality, it calls
upon all mankind to praise the name
of the Lord.
The Psalm of God is made the be-
ginning and the ending of the Psalm.
Three times the exhortation to praise
the Lord is repeated. Praise to God
should be continual, not just once a
year. All nations and all people re-
ceive of Gods blessings. Therefore,
they are all enjoined to praise Him
There is no man but what has album
dant reason to offer Thanksgiving to
God.
The Psalm lists two specific rea-
sons why we should praise God
First, Gods great love toward the
whole family of men should incite
us to praise. He is kind to us as His

us mercy mixed with kindness in
the highest degree. His merciful
kindness is great toward u.s." Joined
with His mercy, is His truth and
this is the second reason why we
should praise Him. ''The truth of the
Lord endureth forever" His abiding
truth teaches us of His mercy and
His mercy is made certain by His
truth.
What abundant grounds for
Thanksgiving are contained in this
short Psalm! How many are His
blessings to us! How ceaseless should
be our praisel Praise we the Lord!
