SEEING IS FOUND
MOST IMPORTANT
OF FIVE SENSES
Scientific research discloses that
the eyes receive 87 per cen< of all
impressions we receive. Our ears
receive but 7 per cent; our sense
of smell, 3.5 per cent; touch,l.s
per cent; taste, 1 per cent.
These five senses form pur sole
contact with the world and the
people in it. All that we know
comes to us through our senses.
Though the eyes represent our
most priceless physical asset,
most of us subject our eyes to
needless abuse. That this i? so, is
seen in the fact that 22 per cent
of all children in the country have
defective sight. At college age, 42
per cent have impaired vision. At
age forty, the figure jumps to 60
per cent. And after the sixtieth
birthday, only 5 per cent have
unimpaired eyesight.
These statistics are the more ap
palling when we consider that our
own carelessness is largely re
sponsible for these deficiencies.
Yet it may not be so much of care
lessness as a lack of understand
ing as to what causes eyestrain.
Os all the abuses to which we
subject our eyes, poor lighting is
said to be one of the greatest.
Oddly enough, this is also the
easiest cause to prevent.
It is significant perhaps that de
fective eyesight is common
among farm families. This is
thought to be due to the fact that
there are still several million
farm homes to whom the dvan
tages of electric lighting are not
available. Yet if this is so, it
again reflects a lack of under
standing of the need for good light,
for there are available today,
types of portable lamps that pro
vide daylight brilliance for every
night-time task.
Perhaps the most popular of
these are the gasoline and kero
sene pressure mantle lamps.
For reading, sewing, and all the
after-dark pursuits which require
prolonged and close use of the
eyes, abundant light is imperative
to those who would protect that
greatest of God-given gifts, the
eyes. And this is more especially
important where there are chil
dren in the family. Children’s eyes
are much more easily strained
than those of adults.

Baseball’s Tribute
Brings Hope Game
Will Uphold Trust
'"THERE is little wonder that I
could not recognize the feeling.
I have not felt that way in years.
So I just stood there and watched
around the Polo Grounds.
On they came in barouches, lan
daus, buggies drawn by lone horses
and by pairs. Cops marched ahead
arrayed in those queer old helmets
and long-belted coats of a gaslit
era. There were ladies in dresses
so gay that even now it seems sad
their fate has been some lonesome
corner in a costumer’s shop. There
was a band that might well have
played under waving torches, while
Manhattan whooped it up for Til
den and Democracy. There was—
wonder of all wonders on this very
baseball field where luck has be
haved so well of late—a carriage
drawn by two white horses.
In the boxes near the dugout sat
baseball’s veterans, hands gnarled
by many a foul tip or hard-sped
grounder, clasped tightly in their
laps. Some of them still are in their
prime as life is reckoned in most
businesses. Others were taking a
belated grateful glimpse of a pa
rade that long since has passed
them by. The faces of all of them
—some deep wrinkled, some full
fleshed—had that leathery look
which never fades from those who
have spent many busy hours squint
ing into a hot sun.
Memories of yellowed newspaper
clippings came back as I watched
them. There was Jim Mutrie, a
shrunken little man with bristling
white moustache. Jim, they say,
is ninety-two and so he does not see
much baseball now. Indeed they
also tell that the last time he came
over from Staten Island he was so
puzzled by unfamiliar scenes that
he was lost before leaving the Bat
tery and so never reached the Polo
Grounds at all. But it was Jim,
whose eyes still flash as in bettet
days, who managed New York s
first pennant winner in 1888.
There was Arlie Latham, boon
companion of John McGraw and
ployed by the gairift
W** f/ h e served so well.
11 Arlie came into
I baseball in 1872 and
1 *t was Mutrie who
' il brought him to New
jte Jf York in 1879. It was
\ ■ Jlj then that he came
||k m *° know Smiling
Mickey Welch, who,
for all that he
MMm. pitched the town’s
McGraw first P . ol °, £™ un .<* s
game in 1883, sits
sturdily beside him. McGraw would
have liked a scene like this. Old
time players had an appeal to him
that was irresistible. He chummed
with them and helped them when
ever they needed it.
There also were men of later
baseball generations. Otto Knabe
once—that was in the days when
he played second for the Phillies
and when he managed the lament
ed Baltimore Terrapins—was one
of the most hard boiled as well as
one of the most capable of players.
George Smith also sits serenely.
Columbia George, as few people
recall now although it has been a
mere thirteen years since he left
the game, also was an athlete with
whom it was unsafe to take lib
erties. Now a sedate school teach
er—as indeed he was during most
of his seasons in the big time—he
merely chuckles when reminded of
that feud waged for years with
Lavan of the Cards.
There they sit. Harry Courtney,
probably less than forty even now,
but ten years removed from base
ball, and a rising young man in Wall
Street. Jocko Fields, who starred
with both Pirates and Giants. Dan
ny Murphy, great outfielder with
the Athletics of the more celebrat
ed SIOO,OOO infield. Moose McCor
mick, pinch-hitter extraordinary of
the Giants.
They sit there watching, tiny
smiles, proud and wistful upon
tightened lips. On the field they
are watching so intently innings
are to be played as they were sixty
years ago. But this day is some
thing else.
There is a silence while the bugler
blows taps.
Now I know this feeling that has
not come over me for years. Sports
and war are alike in far more things
than ethics.
Too long ago I used to watch thin
lines of men in gray and blue pa
rade down the streets of a tiny
Maryland town on an afternoon late
in May. I
I hope baseball continues to keep
its Memorial day trust as well.
THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1936
NOT IN THE BOX SCORE:
When the Hambletonian was trot
ted at Goshen, N. Y., recently, a
ten-year old jinx which has pre
vented any driver from winning the
event twice was licked. The hoodoo
wrecker was Rosalind, the favorite
driven by Ben F. White, who won
with Mary Reynolds in 1933. White
drove carefully, but with an air of
great serenity. The White family
was $19,604 wealthier by catching
the winner’s share.
Bullet Joe Simpson, the former
Americans’ manager who distin
guished himself in the World war,
and Murray Murdock, who set that
consecutive play record, have been
offered manager-coach jobs with
“amateur” hockey teams in Eng
land . . . Rental for the St. Nicho
las Palace, which will be coupled
with the Central Opera House as a
boxing enterprise this winter, is
$1,075 per week. That could indi
cate that boxing business is pick
ing up. Judging, though, from the
state and federal tax returns of oth
er small clubs recently it also could
indicate that Steve Brodie and the
daring young man on the flying
trapeze were far from being the
suckers people suspected . . . Char
lie Snow, the blacksmith who spe
cializes in trotters, has shod 50,000
horses during his 35 years on the
Grand Circuit.
Although Saratoga is the only
New York track with a $1 field,
gents who patronize that section of
the joint are in a sad turmoil. They
sob that the way favorites have
been running recently there soon
will be dire need for a 15-cent sec
tion for two-bit parlay betters . . .
Mrs. Ethel V. Mars, who spends 200
grand or so at the Saratoga year
ling sales, does not do all that bid
ding and buying merely on femi
nine intuition. The lady, who last
year purchased Case Ace, Arling
ton Futurity winner undefeated in
three starts this season, has ? staff
of experts to minutely inspect each
bargain . . . Because of the many
abuses which cropped up last sea
son the next Pennsylvania legisla
ture will be presented with a bill to
abolish amateur boxing and wres
tling shows.
Anyhow, it might have happened.
Doctor: “So, you say you haven’t
been feeling well lately and have
had to run out on your work and
your guests?” Hitler: “Yessir, ev

keep seeing black spots in front of
my eyes.”

What high public official has threat
ened to resign his racing post if
the starting is not improved at the
New York tracks? . . . Jock Whit
ney’s heavyweight, Abe Simon, has
such big paws that he has to bring
his own gloves when he goes to a
club to fight . . . Francis Alber
tani has passed up offers from both
of the big bushwacking fight organ
izations to handle publicity for the
National Bowling Congress . . .
Caswell Adams, the very able Her
ald Tribune sports writer, will pub
licize Columbia’s football this fall,
Dutch Carter, the attorney and
former Yale athlete who died re
cently, was a true sportsman. Both
his alma mater and the game of
baseball, to which he gave such
unselfish devotion as a fan, will
miss him . . . That 8 to 5 price
quoted on Braddock over Schmel
ing is far out of line . . . Bookies
claim Terry Burns was bumped
off because he welched on a race
bet, not because he was hot with
Lucky Luciano.
Probably this has nothing to do
with the benefits that coma from
owning a farm. But the prevailing
rate of big-time hockey pay is about
$4,000 a season. And the paternal
Rangers reward their amateur
grads, Alex Shihicky and Mack Col
ville, with $2,000 apiece ... In
addition to anticipating an unde
feated football season, Fordham
folks already are trying to per
suade the new university president
that the ban on Rose Bowl trips
should be lifted. . . . Although he sel

. . . Ray Daughters, American
Olympic swimming coach, has been
instructing aquatic stars since six
teen years old . . . Earl Averill’s
ambition is to quit baseball with
enough to buy a cabin cruiser, re
turn to his Snohomish (Wash.)
home, and spend the rest of his
days fishing in Puget Sound . . .

California.

Sometimes We Wonder
Do grouches make a fortune
more readily than those who are
sweet-tempered ?
A man may spend ten cents
apiece for his three cigars a day;
but may his wife spend thirty
cents a day for candy?
Punctuality is the virtue that
keeps you waiting many a time
and oft. Yet it is worth while.
We Learn From Them
Remorse is one of the teachers
on the faculty of the school run
by experience. Discretion is
another.
If country people realized how
strongly city people admire coun
try scenes, they’d be prouder.
Scatter praise; most people
don’t get as much as they de
serve.
Notion Still With Us
Some old vain notion hangs on,
that the purpose of an education
is to earn money instead of en
abling a man to understand the
earth he lives on.
If you are silent at the right
time, you never have to take it
back
We can all nobly meet the
temptation that hasn’t much of an
appeal.
Philosophy is applying common
sense to what you can’t change.
