Taj br W rites About Baseball.
To the Editor of The Journal:
A good baseball team is an usset to
a town.
The Bible says there Is a time for
all things a time to weep and a
time to rejoice; a time to work and
a time to play; a time for prayer
and thanksgiving and a time for
worldly pursuits. There is no reason
why a ball-player should be a loafer
He can have a time to work and
the best citizens should encourairc
htm. Then he can have a lime lot
playing ball and showing the physl
nil manhood, itiirk thinking and
ilitlck action in bull playing that will
make him lit for service in other
li,ies.
The young man who has the brains
and the athletic physique to heat
others in the struggle on the diamond
is able by application and e'foil also
to accomplish useful things in other
lines. There is nothing more bontt
Mini than the mathematics and the
physics of baseball. Of course after
our team has playrd professional ball
fur nine, ten or eleven innings and
then two or three weak players pull
off hone-head plays and lose the

Nowdays the farmers' time is often
more valuable than that of his city
neighbor. He Is, as has often been
said, the backbone and the life o
every cily and town and he deserves
the best of roads when he goes to
use one.
