 In those days, baseball was far from the gentlemanly game the Knickerbockers had played A player might leave the field bleed ing or unconcious after stopping a fast ball, but he refused to baby himself by wearing prOtec- tive equipment.

 That game was also the first instance of team baseball as we know it. The New York Club, formed in 1845, was the first regular baseball organization. And in their third season, the mem bers donned blue and white uni forms to become the first team uniformly outfitted.
 A breach of baseball etiquette made Al Reach the first paid ball player. In 1864, it was considered unethical for a player to jump" from one team to another. Reach, however, deserted the Brooklyn Atlantics when he was offered money by the Philadelphia Ath- letics.

of drop-OutS from college
 Four out of 10 students in col 1ege today will not stay long enough to be graduated, according to an article in the April TO- DAYS HEALTH, published by the American Medical Association.
 The root of the high drop-out rate lies in psychological troubles, most educators think. The stu dents simply are not mature enough to cope with college and it's demands.
 Many students soon to graduate from high school are thinking about continuing their studies at some university or college. The article offers some suggestions to parents and students for hand ling these college emotional prob lemS
 Parents can help their children remain in college by leaving the children alone;;- by seeing that they have information about col lege and career selections, but letting them make their own choice; by refrainirg from impos- ing their parental interests on the children; by seeing that child ren have a previous liying-away- from home experience; by not overStressing the need for high grades, and by letting children earn part of their own expenses.
 For students who want to avoid joining the army of drop-cuts, :" the article offered the following suggestions: Before going to col lege, try to get a realistic picture of what to expect; Recognize that college will present stiff academ- ic competition; From the start, budget study time; If you are shy, get a roommate; Make yourself available for social contacts, but don't overemphasize the social side of college; Try to think through what you want to get out of college, then make sure your work has a direct relationship to your career; Get plenty of rest, and realize that minds do not work better when stimulated by anything stronger than coffee or Coke; Give the college a chance to provide helpful guidance for adjustment. Know what resources the college offers and take advan- tage of them.
 In conclusion, the article noted, "The sound, sensible approach to college life, by students as we'll as their parents, can do much to cut down drop-outs-the deplor- able waste of Americas most com petent manpower."
 We know young people don't like to be preached to. We never did either. But the thoughts ex- pressed by the writer of the above article, is not preaching. Some where along the line the author picked up some knowledge not found in books. The prospective college student might do well to clip out the above ard read it again and again.
 Any baseball fan can tell you the number of home runs Mickey Mantle belted last year or the salary of Ted Williams. But can he tell you who wore the first baseball glove? Or what player was the first to catch a ball drop ped from the Washington M0nu- ment? ,
 Statistics will be flying thick

to it-would simply have felt a
twinge of pity for the befuddled
individual who had given utterance
to such silly piffle. But they were
uttered by a man who occupied
the second highest ecclesiastical
office in the entire worldly a
man who had every advantage by
education, experience and contact.
Shortly thereafter DR.. Temple
added insult to injury by publicly
advocating the abolition of private
copy of this Primer" to the Pri-
mate of the Church of England, to-
gether with a letter recommending
that he make belated study OF it,
pointing out that between its COW
ers he would find plenty of testi-
mony to give the lie to his asser-
ton that each mans success repre-
sents corresponding failure in his
neighbors."
We also suggested a course OF
reading in American history to the
crudite 90 churchman-told him he
would be astounded. He would
learn that when the White man
first same to what is now the
United States of America, there
were lust a few hundred thousand
Indians occupying the immense
territory, struggling for a bare eX-
istence; that four centuries later,
in 1912, 1876 million people, includ-
ing 325,000 Indians, were living in
that self-same territory, and had
achieved the highest standard of
living the world had ever known.
We pointed out to DR.. Temple
that until the white man pioneered
TITLED the fertile acres and de-
veloped its natural resources, the
u. S. A. had provided mere eXs-
tence for its inhabitants. We further
drew his attention to how the
genius and initiative of man had
been unleashed-how many had in
vented machines and gadgetS which
plus sweat and toll had produced
civilization wherein THE POOR
CITIZEN OF THE u. S. A. WAS
RICHER THAN THE RICHEST

if this didn't make absurd his state
ment that each mans success rep
rcsents corresponding failure i'll his
neighbors.'
And just in case DR.. Temple
might be laboring under the GRO
ncous idea that there were no more
frontiers in the world, and cspcci-
allv in his native England, we in
formed him of the synthetic frontier

Milford chronicle., 1959-01-16

Babson Park, Mass, Jan. Is. So
many readers of my column have
written to me questions abQlt South
Africa, that / have selected sixteen
of the most important and am an
swering them here.
IL POPULATION. The population
of Africa is estimated at 135 million
Of this total, about million are
Mullatoes, about 3 million English
aud other Europeans, and about
million Dutch, known as Afri-
kaaners. This leaves about 125 mil
lion Blacks, which speak nearly
two hundred different languages,
This language barrier prevents the
Communists from now getting any
hold in Africa.
(2) COST OF LIVING. This is
high for all groups. Black labor is
very cheap, but it is very inef1-
cient Most articles, textiles, etc.,
are imported.
(3) LARGE RETAIL STORES
These are very attractive and well
stocked, equal to the best in any
American city OI SiilIldI Size. uOA
are probably too many small re-
taiIers. The merchants are mostly
Jewish, Malayan and English.
"a BUILDING. The Blacks live
largely in thatched-roofed mud
huts while most of the white-colla1
people live in very attractive four
story apartments built of brick
tile covered with cement.
(5) HOTELS, CHURCHES, AND
CLUBS. These are the same as in
any American city OF similar size
but much more segregated as tc
race and inheritance.
(6) FARM. LAND. This is very
high priced, at $500 an acre and up
ward, and can be equaled at $1OC
an acre in the United States. This
high price is due to the fact thai
agricultural land lies only in the
small valleys between the high.
lands and mountains.
(7) WEATHER. South Africa has
its hottest months in January and
