Instead of dividing the number of complete decision games In which a pitcher has worked by the number lie has won to arrive at a percentage. Cassoll would divide the number of games a team won Into the number won by the pitcher, also divide the number lost by tho team into the number lost by the pitcher and sub tract tho two percentages. The system would give Robert Moseu Orovo .300 Instead of his .886 but would still put him ahead of all others.

It happens that his playmates from the neighboring I homes are all a year or two olOr than he. He is a vigorous, energetic child and welt grown for his age. He keeps up with he rest and Is ac cepted by them. .Yet'.ti caYefui observer ivoiild see1 that this is achieved at soTne cost. He" Is never once a leader, alri iriltia tbr wric&e' IdeW are greeted with enthusiasm by the' others. He merely1 follows where', he1 Is led, meekly accepting the part assigned to .Him. Whelh differences arise" he1 defends himself drily hjr the' most heroic effort's which show themselves in his iricroslrigiy high pitched Ex cited voice, his . tense mdnfidr arid an exaggerated belligerence4. Indeed he expends so much energy in merely keeping his place In the1 group that It Is doubtful whether he has made the observations', developed the skills arid the ability to' transfer his ideas into action that might be expected of & Child of his age arid Intelligence. . He has had lcfss opportunity to learn to do things well, to think" for himself1, to formulate and purstie his own purposes because' he ha"S had to cope constantly with1 a personal equation. It is not good for' a child id play always with overwhelming playmates'. Some play with those1 who are bigger arid more mature' is stimulating no doubt, but milcli is a Hindrance ih j development. For the iribst part piny" should be ' between children of similar size and maturity.1 Then there will be per? sonal' equation wtll-- be ' minimized while play Itself goes on freely at a level' where every child has something to contribute. , m For the Bright and Dull Days of Spring - - Nelly Don Frocks You can wear for many occasions and for many days Frocks that will brighteh your entire spring calendar.
