Education and advertising both may become arts whose
rewards will be as great as the pugilist's if their practi
tioners can 'apply the Hotchkiss idea. The danger is that
in attempting to make a serious message entertaining 'the
sauce may le mistaken for the substance with result of
wasted effort.'' The problem is to find the limit to which
jazz can be usefully employed. . .

Pierce And The Port
., ..'.Stale-House, Salem (By Mail). Because the governor
and the legislature disagreed on the officers of the Port
of Portland it must not be taken to mean that there is
any Kentucky feud existing between the chief executive
and members of the two houses. The governor got off
wrpng on the Port matter and when the vote was counted
in the senate four members . voted with' him and only two
members in the house.
A shift of scenes may occur on some other matters
and' Governor Pierco will likely have several victories to
his credit as well as quite, a number of defeats in the
present session. ,

If the managers who took' their baseball clubs to Europe
to play Exhibition games had, the hope that the-venture
would be profitable, financially,, they arc disillusioned. If
they went as missionaries simply to reveal the nature of
the Jgame to folks in whom interest had hot yet been aroused
,the success is not much greater. The obstacle Qhiefly en
countered lies in that Europeans do not understand the
rgame and apparently do not greatly care to try to compre
hend its fine points. They have their own games and are
satisfied with.'; them.
The effect of. a listless, non-understanding, small crowd
on the players may be imagined. Not to be subjected to
jeers as well as applause must have made them feel like
strangers in a strange land, as they were literally. The're-

it will remain, probably. It has a marvelous grip on this
country. It is a success here. But that fact does not argue
that it is possible to thrust it on lands across the water
where it bewilders rather than enthuses.
That individual who appreciates baseball i it the fullest
in most cases is one who as a boy played in the vacant lotu
or in the back streets and absorbed the spirit of the game
as-he grew up: Baseball is a part of a boy's education
here, hence the great interest later in life, and it is such
who fill the grandstands at the big games. None of that
spirit is present abroad and it would' be a stupendous if
not impossible job to create it. Baseball is America's na-
