America so high iu the estimation of foreign natlous, says Ellis Parker Butler In Success Maga Eiue, as tbe adoption of baseball as tbe national sport. If a foreign spy wan ders lntoAmerlca seeking to fathom our" real" Inwardness' andr"sees" a game of baseball any feeling of contempt' for our .newness gives way Instantly to awestruck admiration. At his first glance baseball Is to him a mystery, and it remains a mystery to him. He Bees 30,000 men and women suffering the tortures of tbe lower regions on hot grand stands. He sees a man pick up a small white ball as hard as a pine knot.' Facing him is another man who holds a smooth but deadly club in bis hands. Behind this second man Is a third man whose face Is bidden behind a birdcage. Suddenly the man with the ball raises one foot in the air and shows tbe man with tbe bat the sole of his shoe. 1 Tbe man at tbe bat sees that there ore spikes In the sole of the shoe, and It angers blm, and he raises , his bat to throw it at tbe man with the ball., But nb. ha!-the man with the ball Is. too quick for him. lie throws the hard, white ball at the man with the bat with all his strength. The man with the bat waves defiance by swinging the bat in the air. The ball proceeds. Tbe batsman never flinches: Will the ball kill the man orwill the Impact crush the ball? But, see! The ball finds man unflinching; tbe ball is panic stricken; the ball dodges around the raao; the ball is lost, burled, In tbe huge leather chair cushion that covers tbe hand of tbe birdcage man behind the batsman! "Strike one!" says the umpire. Thirty thousand cheers! Why? CHAIN WOOD I am prepared to furnish Dry ChainWood,-also partly seasoned wood, to all comers. Kind ly phone your order to- . . . 1. E.
