Wednesday evening, active steps were

four National League players have been
released who would doubtless prove a
tower of strength to any minor league
club. and yesterday this quartet were all

The Brockton Times, speaking of Tues

embankment in center field and falling
JUST as the ball was about to touch the
ground, made a terrific reach for 1t and
rolled down the embankment holding the
sphere in his hand. Flynn also made
most wonderful stop of Pettit's ground
hit in the third, which looked good for at
least two bases, and threw his man out at
first. Bean and Doherty played capital
game, while our old catcher, Lawson, in
CENTER covered lots Of ground and pulled
down four long flies.

DYSPEPSIA.

Dyspepsia is great and growing evil
tlat follows in the march of civilization
and progress like hideous phantom. l rs
victims usually claim they are Bilious, -
but biliousness is one form of dyspepsia
The fact is our stomachs are not strong
enough to stand the hard mental work
and sedentary lives we live; neither are
they strong enough to withstand the wiles
of modern cooks.
When ones stomach, liver and kidneys
arc in proper condition and he eats aud
digests sufficient quantity of nutritious
food, he can scarcely contract disease;
but on the other hand he is the prey of la
grippe, pneumonia, consumption, typhoid
fever, and in fact of every form of germ
disease.
A tired stomach has produced more
business failures more unhappness to
its victim and his associates, more insani-
ty and suicide than ell other diseases and
conditions This important organ must
have assistance when overworked. A par
ticular trying time is during the spring
months During the cold weather we had
to cat more to keep up the warmth and
vitality of the system and as the warm
with impurities. This produces the Ian
guor and lassitude peculiar to this season.
Nature at this time requires assistance in
freeing the blood of these impurities
Boils, ulcers pimples, and humors Of the
skin clearly prove that the blood is i'm
pure. These are danger signals that
should not be neglected. To rid the blood
of these impurities, nothing else il so
rapid in its action or certain in its results
as Rodolf's New Medical Discovery as
sisted by Rodolf's Liver Pills. They
stimulate the excreting organs to healthy
action and destroy the germs of disease
All cases of dyspepsia can be cured by
their specific action on the stomach and
liver. No other remedy so promptly and
certainly aids digestion. Its action is not
confined tn the stomach alone but It's
beneficial effects are apparent the entire
length of the digestive tract BY their
use the languid feeling headache, sour
stomach, coated tongue, and dependency
OF biliousness are not only relieved but
cured sFb 4F

to, ronnd of fame, but Arthur lasted the
longer pitcher Hawley had brother
with whom he played before he became
famous professionally. As l told their
story last wear they were twins and resem-
hlei each other SO much that when they
we're small they were distinguished by
noxs of mink and blue ribbons respective
" mined TO their clothes by their mother.
Afterward, when they formed the Hawicy
battery. they were known as PINK ana
Blue. The latter died when the twins

The Tebcaus are the only brothers VINO

this wear. George Tebeau was the 1lrst Oh
the pair to make n name in the game, put
when Oliver came forward he passed
George. and today the latter owes his posi-
tion in the National league to the brother
who came along later on. These are some
of the most prominent instances of broth
ers in professional baseball. believe there
is a family of brothers somewhere up in
Michigan that forms whole nine without
alien help, but presume that Is case of
family pride rather than of wholesale fam
ilv talent, and none of the nine will proba-
biy ever reach professionalism. Anson's ia

Rusie has younger brother who is grow

Tom Bannon's playing on tho New York
nine is so distinctly good that his status rs
a player is already fixed. There can be no
doubt that he will excel his brother of the
Bostons this year. His rrSord last season
as captain and center f,N:r of the Paw
tuckct team marked him as coming star
both as a batsman, a fielder and n base
runner. The Bannons are natives of Mas
sachusetts and pupils of that vast New

in his time became almost as famous as
the elder, but his career on the diamond
was much bricfcr.
Jim O'Rourko's brother John PLAYED
professionally for u few years but never
had the success which Jim won. John
was an outfieldcr, too, and cxcellcd as
batsman. He was Of an industrious turn
of character and being offered good po-
sition by the New York and New Haven
railroad he wisely accepted it and quit
playing bali.
Then there were the Gleason brothers,
Jack and Bill, who, at one time, wcre
members of the st. Louis Browns. The
Clarkson brothers are illustrious examples
of this consanguinity in baseball. John in
his day was as great a pitcher as ever
curved n bail and he holds the distinct po-
sition of being me only ball player, with
the exception of tho late Mike Kelly,
whose release ever brought the remarkable
price of $40, 900. Arthur. Clarkson, the
younger brother who is now pitching for
the St Louis club, never attained his
brothers fame or abilities as q PLAYER,
but his success has been greater than that
of majority of the men who are now
drawing salaries from League clubs for do
ing the Same work. His resemblance to
the famous John is very striking, and his
actions while delivering the ball are so
similar to those which his brother used
that the mistake of supposing it is really
Clarkson the elder is often made by old
time patrons of the game.
John Ewing, who recently died at Colo
RADIO Springs from consumption, was vet
another illustration of baseball talent in
the same family. He was the brother of
perhaps the greatest baseball player ever
seen on the diamond / think such u dis
tinction must be granted to Manager Buck
Ewing of the Cincinnati club While now
only memory of his former great base
ball self, Buck is still playing remarkably
well. But back in the eighties he was
king of them all, the great shining light
of the diamond who had never been
equalcd in his profession and who has not
since been beaten for the honor of being
the best general baseball player who ever
lived. John Ewing was never more than
fair pitcher, but his brother believed in
him. 1t was Bucks opinion alone that
kept Long John in the major ranks Had
he been the brother of less admired PLAYER
Ewing junior would not have drawn six
months salary out of the treasury of any
National league club.

share fame with John. But Horace failed.
The Cincinnati club gave him trial OF {,
Junior nine which they had in the field one
season and the trial demonstrated that
there was but one famous player in the

cAYL0R'S BALL GOSSIP.
Brothers Who Have Won Fame On the
Diamond.

Tho recent success of Tom BannOn on
the New York nine revives tho query, Is
baseball ability family matter? This
Bannon is brother of the right fielder OF
the Boston team, and he seems to be the
better player There are numerous IN
stances in which brothers have made
names for themselves on the diamond, but
am inclined to believe that it is more the
result of emulation than of fratcrnal in
hcritance. Boys whose big brothers win
fame on the ball field are inspired to try
to reach the same plane of prominence by
the same road and many of them succeed.
Among the first brothers to become
known in the profession were George and
Harry Wright, who became famous as
members of the noted Cincinnati Red
Stockings. There was a third brother,
Sam, who became a professional, but never
rose higher than minor league star. He
did play brief engagement with the Gin
cinnati National league club about 1880,
but soon dropped back into less prctentious
company These boys probably inherited
their aptitude for field sports, because their
father was in his early manhood noted
cricket player of England.
The only other instance which can re-
call Of three brothers reaching professional
stations on the baseball field is that of the
Mansells-Mike, Tom and John. The first
named was the most prominent and when
he was u member of the famous Syracuse
Stars in tho latter seventies he was rated
among the best players of the day. All
the Mansells were outffclders, and all bat
ted left handed should have recorded the
fact above that Sam Wright played at short
stop when he did play, the position which
his brother George so highly honored for
SO many years.
