Journal. VOL. 6. NO. 37. SUCCESS AND FAILURE The margin between success and failure in life is sometimes very small.

The corpulent ones did well but they could not hold out and the necessity of resting was too fre¬ quent to admit of success. To tell of the brilliant plays when the ball was stopped by a quick placing of the foot, to prop eriy describe the attitude and an tics G f those who squatted in glad anticipation of catching the ap¬ proaching grounder and suddenly when it went between their leg turned and commenced a mad chase after it, kicking it still fur¬ ther when the ball was finally overtaken, and to give a report of the contentions with the umpire over rules ke was not familiar with, including the loud inquiry heard from one end of the grounds to the other as to wheth¬ er the man at the bat was out be cause the ball hit him in the “stummick” is too much for us You should have been there. Several errors were made. Some of those presidential as¬ pirants who have been sawing wood for a year or more may find consolation iu the thought that the exercise was good for them. Mr. and Mrs. J.
