Detroit t4Tigers." The Detroit.
Tews wrote an editorial which has '
been printed in circular form and
sent all over the country. The
Asheyilie Citizen very properly
says that it contained a moral thai
iOomed large and clear. It taught
khat partial successes accomplish
nothing; that a man who "reaches
third base" and "dies" there,
would have been better off if he
had never starred: that the fellow
.who wins life's battle is not the
'doppy ble" who stays out all
night and gets up blear-eyed in the
late huurs of the, morning.
The hero of the incident related j
is George Moriarty who, instead
of "dyingpon third" with two men
out, beat the ball from the pitcher's
hands to the catcher's. But read
for,yourself the moral presented,
then ruminate the silence and
