DILG, President Izack Walton League of America. W utmost grace wait half a d And why is it that if h for the had to | shop for a fish weighing ten times HY is it that a man will not wait 15 seconds for a street car without becoming impatient; will not wait 4 seconds for an elevator without mumbling under his breath, but will with the nibble of a fish? wait one-tenth as long in as much and costing less, 1 butcher e would come down with nervous prostration? Simply because it's no fun. People like to have fun. There's no kick, as we say in these days of synthetic con- coctions, in standing still with a blank face and looking at an elevator door. Neither is it thrilllng to watch some butchers hacking away at the corpses of dead cows and But it is fun to stand in a running stream, to watch the curl of the water plants in the current, to feel the sh of a cool breeze under your hat brim. That i, its fun as long as you do it voluntarily. If you were forced to stand for five hours in a river with- out your consent, you would start an- other French revolution when you got out! Similarly, observe friend hunter re- turning from a duck hunt with two ducks. He is muddy up to his waist. He needs a shave and a good washing of the face. He complains proudly of a in_his back. He's had a s time. In the city, if he is caught in a shower and gets a little damp, observe how he cusses every thing, including the present adminis. tration. But he'll sit all day in a duck blind | and let the water pour onto him and run off again in a hundred little water- talls. At night he proudly calls the attention of everybody to exactly how wet he is. He exaggerates it a little. He takes off his shirt and shows you. Remember when you used to go out siiding when you were a kid, and come home with you mittens full of snow, your overshoes unbuckled and your nose running? You'd been having fun. That's the big thing about outdoor recreation. | When you go fishing or hunting or camping you're out having fun. All the petty things that eat into your soul and your temper when vou're submerged in the little twirl of business vanish majestically. Of course they come back again when you return to your normal pursuit, but they return more reluctantly each time. Erin Insects won from the Northern Insects, 11 to 10.

PIRATES NOW SHOWING TITLE CALIBER By the Associated Press C which Washington, Philadelphia and passed. Deadlocked in a protracted strug- gle, which has apparently under- 111ned the strength of both clubs, the Athletics and Washington give prom- ise of continuing their battle until the close of the season. The winner may be dstermined in the final game, on October 4, at Washington. There is no recent parallel of the lock-step grapple these clubs have staged. For days at a time negligible margins o’ supremacy have been maintained by one or the other, only to be broken for a day while the clubs’ positions were reversed. Despite undeniably mediocre play- ing by both the Mack and Harris teams in the last two weeks, the league has shown little disposition to furnish a Lochinvar from the West. Even Chicago, with better pitching than it had early in the season, has been able to cut. its distance from the front only from 11 to 9 games. The week's averages refiect the weakening in the attack of both clubs, Philadelphia losing 5 points from its team batting figure, while Wash- ington dropped 2. The falling off of HICAGO, August 29.—With Pittsburgh the only whose recent play has been of what the remaining five weeks of the season will bring forth is concerned chiefly with the degree and duration of the partial eclipse into ONLY CLUB pennant aspirant championship caliber, speculation on the New York Giants seem to have hitting power has in both cases been coincident with an alarming slump among thelr mainstay pitchers.
