BT O. W. AXELSOX.
(Copyright, 1913, bv Henry Barrett Cham
berlln). BEAUMOXT, Texas. Nov. 1. (Spe
cial.) Is baseball taken too seri
ously in this country? The White
Pox and the Giants of the world-circling
ba.nd have been told by ministers,
lawyers, editors and scores of others
in Iowa, Kansas and Missouri so far
that it is not. Should it be classed
with the theatrical profession, or as
some would have, with the bearded
lady and the Hindu twins?
The questions are being answered as
never before on this chase with the
setting" sun. Thousands have already
seen the Sox and Giants in action and
the chances -are that a good many
more thousands will be counted up be
fore the llnish. At banquets, luncheons
and receptions the travelers have been
told that baseball has almost ceased
to be a sport. It Is greater than that.
It is now classed as a national insti
tution. The most illuminating: Insight into
the character of the American people
was afforded at the smallest town in
the entire Sox itinerary, unless Bisbee
and Douglass, Ariz., have shrunk of
late. This was Blue Rapids, Kan. This
town, in the gypsum belt, has at least
one thing In common with the metro
politan cities, in that the inhabitants
are certain that Uncle Sam cheated
them while taking the census.
"How many can you line up In a
pinch, men. women and children?" was
asked of an otherwise sane landlord.
Crowd la Assared.
"Well," drawled the Kansan, "I
reckon you can put us down for 2000,
although the census man only gave us
1600.
"Has it grown of late?" supplemented
the first query.
"Oh, no, but the dod-gasted flgurer
didn't get us all," was the consoling
reflection.
This Blue Rapids la a staid town
and has grown out of its swaddling
clothes. The hotel In which the ath
letes hung their clothes was built in
about 1858, so you might expect con
siderable conservatism from its inhab
itants. w.ho .lave seen the village grow
from a frontier camp to a place where
two railroads are almost within sight
of the outlying residences.
This is only meant as a preliminary
to the question again propounded:
"Why Is baseball?" For with such peo
ple it might be expected that life would
mean more than sport. The day of the
"great game," however, gave the lie
to this conjecture. In parenthesis it
might be stated that when the Sox and
Giants promised to come here the town
went absolutely nutty.
The tourists found practically every
house decorated, every auto, and there
were plenty of them, carried flags of
every description in honor of the oc
casion. The most prominent minister
in the town opened his house for the
accommodation of the players, as he
boasted one of the few bathtubs, and
he and his family were proud to have
them as guests.
Judges, lawyers and politicians
crowded the athletes off the sidewalks
in order to get a chance to shake hands
with them, and thus the miracle of the
loaves and fishes was repeated In that
a town of 1600 furnished over 3000
paid admissions to the game.
I'ann Come From Afar.
Were there some doubling at the
gate? Assuredly not, but the problem
in figures was solved, by the fact that
it was the neighbors of Blue Rapids
who helped out. These neighbors
came from a considerable distance. One
brought his family of four to the game
in his own auto and the distance which
he traveled there and back was just
300 miles. Considerable enthusiasm
for the National game, all right. Towns
within a radius of 50 miles poured
several hundreds and the majority
came in their own machines, as the
trains, run for the occasion, were not
overcrowded.
In the motley crowd which pushed
through the canvas walls were scores
of pioneers who used to sleep on their
rifles at night warding off Indian raids
One farmer, who went by the name of
"Uncle Ben" and whose hair had been
bleached to a snowy white under a
Kansas sun, was asked why he traveled
40 miles to see a couple of strange ball
teams play.
"I may not look so young as I once
was, but I keep track of the scores and
I had to come in and get a peek at
Christy Mathewson," was the rejoinder
from the octogenarian. And don't
think there was any four-flushing at
the game. Two-thirds of the spectators
called the players by their first, second
and third nicknames immediately.
Umpire Klem had Introduced each
player by his given and surname,
These natives were readers of the
daily newspapers. Rural delivery had
indeed made baseball a National insti
tution.
Prominent Folic Participate.
It was in this vein that every speak
er at the luncheon tendered to th
tourists at St. Joseph spoke. Editors,
lawyers and doctors, the Mayor and
ex-Mayor of the city grew oratorical
over the game. - They all pointed out
that as it is practically the only game
which is absolutely clean and on the
square. It should have the support of
the Nation in the enterprise in hand.
It was pointed out that it Is not so
much a baseball tour which the Sox
and Giants are taking as a get-ac
quainted move. This acquaintance, It
. -was argued, would not only extend to
tlie states at home through which the
teams travel, but that the influence In
foreign countries would tend to adver
tise the United States as nothing else
under the sun could, and that it would
help to establish that era of good feel
ins sought by our own Secretary o
btate and his chief.

teams cralore and at least four repre
sentative clubs and associations will
have hockey teams.
Curling is something little Known
here. However, it is extremely popular
in British Columbia and of course in
Scotland. It faintly may be akin to
bowling only the Scotch will tell you
that It takes more science, while the
bowlers say its no game at all.
The object of it all is to take a 20
pound stone with a handle on it and
slide it out over the ice with the Idea
of landing it within a circle marked on
the Ice.
A big part of the game is "sweeping."
The contestant skates In front of the
weight and sweeps with all his might.
The heat of the friction is supposed to
nelt the ice just enough to make an
extremely "slick" surface, and in that
way the iron is coaxed maybe just far
enough.
The management of the hippodrome Is
receiving more applications for practic
ing time to organize hockey teams than
It will ever be able to place. One of
the teams probably will be the Lincoln
High School, which professes to have
some experts.
Multnomah Club Is another which has
decided to take up the game and a team
from that place Is sure to be in any
league which may be formed. The Min
nesota Club, Reed College and lodges
are others which have been in the of
fices of the company with the idea of
forming teams.
Portland will see an exhibition game
between two of the teams representing
Westminster. Victoria or Vancouver.
They are professional, and the salaries
are even better than baseball. The cap
tain of the Westminster team got $2400
for eight games last year. ,
