Base ball is to America what associ- ation foot ball, “ to’ Eng- land. Honalized, players being bought various clubs for ve; both, therefore, suffer from the s: abuses.

The anal- og) in fact, complete. The games themselves, of course, re so radically different that sheer curiosity, the desire to see what man- ner of thing it can be that holds a people so, drove me to a base ball match, Less than half way through the game the initial prejudice had been supplanted by a state of mind gave their word that Arlington County would see that its side of that mag- nificent structure would be developed in a worthwhile manner. The place for such a plant should be at least miles from the proposed site, he said. He commended The Star for the editorial relative to the abattoir, call- ing attention to the suggestion therein that_there was a chance of much of the land within the area proposed for the abattoir being taken in for park and boulevard purps Mr. B concurred in the opinion of other: Seen as Hindrance. “Third.

The sheer skill of the bat ter in hitting a fast and deceptive ball squarely in the middle with an exiguous piece of wood, sending it soaring over the boundary; the cun- ning of the pitcher with drop and curve and variation of speed, and the grace and agility of the men in the fleld catching and returning balls taken at any angle and pace, bringing off a neat “double play"—all these things proved irresistible. Calls Game Spirit-Ugly. The spirit of the game, though v; T doubt whether it w: any worse than that to be seen in some English “soccer” games, but it was definitely u both among the and the crowd. It had some of humor, especially as many of the crowd suggested murdering the umpire without losing a certain ge- niality. There were many disputes and threats of violence, which at one time seemed unavoidable. Arbitration, a precarious function, seems v da all, as s in foot ball, however, that the ner finds most of interest and, since it is what it is, some illumina- tion upon American psychology in re- gard to sports. At first sight an ama- teur game that gathers in an_enor- mous revenue from a fascinated pub- lic seems a paradox not easy to under- stand. Yet if there is one thing more certain than the fact that foot ball it Is that the game is There is, 1 fine about these nd willing to offer up their bodies in a kind of furious devotion for the sake of win- ning a game. That, with what is per- haps the greater sacrifice of vigorous \ining, i1s enough to command re- spect for the game. As for interest, regretfully it must be conceded that the game has hardly a peer in this respect. No Lack of Sportsmanship. Tears in the dressing room, after defeat, to the British observer seem curfously alien to the flerce vigor that s shown during play. To generalize, winning seems to matter more in America than anywhere else, cer- tainly in Great Britain. A slight ac- quaintance with the development of the game reveals, t00, a reliance upon the letter rather than the spirit of ‘Winter Tovurist r'es Co DANGER SIGNAL sMexi Galveston ~-Houston -~ Corpus Christi --- Rio Grande Valley~-San Antonio ~ Mexico City On Sale Daily.

It would be the height of unfairness to accuse foot ball of breed- ing a lack of sportsmanship, for it has more than a medium share of the sporting spirit. _Yet it cannot be denied that rules have been constantly amended in the past in order to shut out contractions of the spirit in which they were tramed.

They destroy each other and become useless. So—some dentifrices use the fruit acids —and tell of their benefit in loosening film, healing gums, preventing pyorrhea.
