Fans, all those who Hock to the city park, had reached the point that they were pulling for that Ruthlan drive every time the young catcher came up. And There It Is! The game Friday likely was the last game the young '•aptairt and several of his teammates wdll play lr. high school uniforms In the local park. It was then or never, and fan* seemed to sense the fact that things might happen. In the first Inning Farris sent a screaming sin gle Into left field, but It wasn’t hlgn enough to clear the wall. Old Lady Luck was st ill stacking the cards pounded another scorching drive to, against him. In the third Inning he pounded another scorching drive left field, but many feet shy of the fence. The ambition apparently would never be realised. Along came the sixth Inning. Rlppy had singled and McSwaln had walked. Farris was at bat. The first boll the Mt. Holly hurler sent siplng to the plate was caught fairly by the Farris wil low and started sailing for the left field scoreboard. Up came the fans. There It was at last! But, no the ball, similar to a half dosen others he has pounded out this year, curv ed a bit to the left and plunged over the fence Into the railroad cut, foul by three feet. Then came a colorful climax to a budding athletic career before home tewn fans. The Mt. Holly hurler sent his second pitch zooming down across the fence an dthe railroad cut. Into the bank of the field be yond. Tne tnree run* "locked up the game for Shelby. Hitting Heavy. There were numerous, other fea tures, however. In addition to the Tarria hitting. And the Shelby cap tain, incidentally, drove out a two bagger after hi* homer. The Mt. Holly outfit was about the heaviest hitting high school team Shelby has played this year, and for quite a time the game was In doubt as the Mt. Holly hitters kept driving out clean blows off 8herlll Hamrick, who was not at his best, yet still good enough to master the average high school team. In the first frame Ware, husky Mt. Holly flrst-sacker, pounded one of Hamrick's fast balls far ov*r left field tenqe for a home run. Mt. Holly did not score any more until the eighth when they pushed over ope run, then the third and final tally In the ninth. They kept hitting, however, in every frame and their score was held down cnly by fleet fielding. Smith making a brilliant catch for the last out In the ninth to stop a desperate and dangerous Mt. Holly rally. Harrelson and Hippy ranked next to Farris In the local hitting bar rage, while Dunn Joined in with Ware to feature th* Mt. Holly at tp.ck.

A Bath a Day— Will Hein Maintain Good Health «. ■■■ -Says Dr. Copeland In Addition to that Sense of Physical Well-Being, Daily Bathing Stimulates the Nerves, Skin and Circulation—Make It a Habit. By ROYAL S. COPELAM), M. D. United States Senator from New York. Tormer Commitgioncr of Health, New York Ciif. BATHING as a daily habit brings about a sense of physical well being. It is a distinct help in maintaining good health. This fact was known and was acted upon by the enlightened races of antiquity. The influence of water upon the welfare of the DR. COPE-LAND body has been observed for thousands of years. The Roman legions were probably better dis ciplined than the raw levies of Gaal, Helvetia, Austria, Germany, Spain and Britain. But un- j questionably they were better housed, better fed and better bathed. When occupying enemy territory, the Roman Army strategically located their camps near timber, food and water. These camp site* very frequently became stationary and permanent camps, and around them grew considerable num bers of houses. Such sites later became towns. Many of these towns—Old Chester (from the word “castra,” meaning “camp”) and other towns in England ending in “chester'* were Roman camps. After such a camp became sta tionary various luxuries were added. Always big baths (thermae) were installed. Baths of hot and cold water, with steam rooms, had all the appurtenances or tnose or toaay. There are many people today who visit the cures or hath* of Aix les-Bains, Wiesbaden, Carlsbad and Baden-Baden. How many know that all of them were Roman baths 2,000 years ago? They were either a i»ri oi or near a jtoraan twin V’- . Archaeologists today are finding these old Roman baths in many places. One of the finest of Roman legionary camps has recently been found at Bnigg. Switzerland, the site of the ancient Roman town of Vln donlsna. At no very great depth was found this camp With a hath in excellent condition, with its heating system almost complete. , Tbe earbewt Greek* mice knew the great value of the daily bath. High thinking and good living gave them eminence as a race. For indoor workers the daily bath Is especially needful. The skin dis ivoeee of a great deal of waste mat tar of the body, It is unable to fuse I ’ tion properly unless the pores ere kept open by frequent bathing. Bathing stimulates the nerves sf skin and the general circulation. Its good effect* are felt In every part ef the body. One whe Is eesrttsntiy engaged tn out-of-door work usually has an ac tive skin and the waste is carried off the body In the perspiration. This vigorous exercise stimulates the other organs of elimination as well as the lungs, kidneys and intestine#. This la In contrast to the life of the average Indoor worker, who does not exercise enough. To him the daily bathing title a real want. The cold shower or tub bath is stimulating and cleansing. It keeps the skin In good condition. The thousands of germs which ere always about «e cannot gain a foothold when the slcln is kept Immaculately clean. The bath temperature Is a matter of choice for the most part. There are very many persons who cannot stand the cold plunge, and it 1s not wise for them to persist In trying it. Water is as eeeeetlsl to life as air. R has 0 moat powerful influence upon every form of life. Public and private baths are here for every man, woman and child, and everyone should make the most of our mar* veloualy abundant supply of water. In the State of New York are the baths of Saratoga. The waters there are used in the treatment of heart, kidney and other organic disease*. In the world there are many other baths which for asps have helped in the cure of disease. The value of sea bathing is un questionable. It is a most precious asset, and aa '.he Summer comes on millions of people will enjoy and find benefit from the simulating sea air and mater. Extremes of temperature in bath ing should always be avoided by per sons who are not robust. It would be unwise tor suoh persons to bathe In either too cold water or for too long a time In sea water sf any teas peratnre.
