Street - Town _ business. The stands were beginning to fill up and it looked like a record- breaking crowd for the opening game. Each time a subway train rolled into the station across the field, hundreds hurried toward the gales. Men and boys were assembled in groups on the bluffs, and the surrounding house- tops were already black with people who couldn't or wouldn't pay the price of admission, but still wanted to see the game. In the clubhouse Pop Clark was talking to his men. "There's a great crowd out there, boys, and it's up to us to come through for them and for ourselves. We've worked hard and I know we have a good team and I'm sure we will come through this year if not at the top, at least so close to it that we will pull good gates, make a lot of money and be all set for the pennant next year. Of course," there was a twinkle in his eye as he said it, "I won't be too sore at you if we should hit the pennant this year. You never know what will happen in baseball. I have confidence in every one of you and I want you to work together. If there are any personal quarrels among you, which I don't know about, I want you to forget them while you are out there. You are playing ball for nic and the Blues, and just re- member there arc thousands of loyal fans waiting to see us climb up the ladder to the place the Blues deserve in the league. Give them their money's worth." Pop knew what the loyalty of the fans meant. He was one of the last of the old-timers who knew baseball and baseball audiences. He was a canny manager and a keen judge of human nature. Ten years before, his Fire-eaters were the talk of the na- tion and were winning everything in sight. Pop realized that the fans were growing a little tired of the invincible team which wore his colors. It was at that time that he made his greate.st mistake in all his years of baseball management. He disbanded the fam- ous Blue Fire-eaters, scattered them to the wind and the greed of other managers. Pop thought he could build up another team just as good if not better than the Fire-Eaters. He tried, tried hard, but he had lost his magic touch and miracle refused to happen. He bought and traded good men, gave them all he had; but each year, after a short whirl of winning a few games, his teams lost and lost until they finally sank into the cellar and stayed there. The fans were loyal and came back year after year at the beginning of the season expecting Pop to produce a winning team or at least a team which would give them the thrill and excitement they expected. Sports writers suggested that there wag a jinx on Pop and the fans believed it. Pop knew all the tricks of the game and invented some new ones, but he had not been able to crash through. Pop had never been kknown to say "enough" and even when he was lick- ed he didn't know it. This opening was a gala day, for Pop and the Blues. He really be- lieved that at last he had assembled a good team, but the sports writers were not inclined to believe in him or the team. The general opinion was that Pop had a better team than usual but that it would be nothing more than a flash in the pan â€" a few games won and then another dismal failure. The fans were willing to be shown, but the odds were 200 to 1 against the Blues and there was no fan money being bet on them before the opening game. Frances Clark, Pop's daughter, was sitting in the box waiting anxiously for the team to come out on the field. Frances was young and extraordin- arily pretty. Pop called her his one indiscretion after forty and he said it with a warm light in his eyes. Pop had married at thirty-eight and for a few short years had been happy with his wife. Then Frances came, after four years, and his wife died. Pop never married again, because his only interests were the team and the baby girl. She had been travelling with him since she fini.shcd college and he found her a keen judge of men and an excellent adviser. He had tried to keep her away from the team as much as possible while she was a growing girl. For sonic reason, which he never explained, he did not want her to marry a baseball man. From the moment she had met Larry Doyle she had had different ideas. Pop sensed the growing ro- mance and tried to nip it in the bud. lie talked to Frances al)out Doyle, and she tried to understand his feel- ing, but would not proini.sc him any- thing. She had too much of his own lighting spirit to quit without a strug- gle. She liked Larry Doyle and knew that Larry Doyle liked her, just as a woman always knows when a man is really interested. Frances did noth- ing to make Pop feel badly because of young Doyle. She refused to go to the movies or the theatre with him, ' but she did speak to him every chance .she had.

Down On the Farm In times past, and it may still be true to some extent, some farmers have not made life at home as at- tractive as they might have done for their children. "The latter have had an eye to the city. Naturally some of them have to leave home, and it is greatly to the credit of parents that they have always striven to give a bright boy or girl educa- tion, often at no little sacrifice on the part of other membert of the family. Now, however, the farm can b^ made more attractive. There arc !!;ood schools, good roads, motor car.;, the radio and telephone, and if the farmer is progressive and profits by the advice of experts in the empby of the government, if he is willing to co-operate and make the best of his opportunities, he can get along whp;i times are at their worst. The proof of this state.n;crt is found in the experience of tlic^^e progressive farmers who arc t;> bi found in every country district, a;i'l the pity of it is that there ai-L- not far more of them. â€" Saint John Toie- graph-Journal.

Vou are probably imitating a ceremonial dance invented by Negroes more than 3,300 years ago, so the members of the Robert Mond E.xpedition of the Kgypt K.\ploring Society tell us. At Arniant they have excavated and brought to light huge slabs of stone which once formed the entrance to the Temple of Thotmea III, one of the best of the Pharaohs. On these stones are carved columns of Negroes doing intricate ceremonial dancing steps, which when closely studied prove to be nothing more than jazz as we dance it today. Buclcinqham FINE CUT
