NEW BALL GROUNDS
Kid Carsey and spalding May Find
Use For Them.

New York, Jan. 23.-Kid Carsey, the
famous ex-pitcher, once with the Giants
Brooklyn, st. Louis and other National
league clubs. has secured a plot of
ground between Sixty-sixth and Sixty
seventh streets, West End and Railroad
avenues, Manhattan, for baseball pur-
poses.
1t is Carsey's intention to play Sun
day games on his new grounds during
the coming season. As soon as the
weather permits ground will be broken
for the construction of diamond, the
erection of grand stands, fences, etc
The plot is 3S7 feet deep and a block
wide. It is considered possible that in
case A G. Spalding decides to play a
club in this city in opposition to the
Giants. that these grounds may be
utilized by the new team. The grounds
would be somewhat contracted as re-
CARDS width. but no more so than the
present National League grounds in
Boston.

Dyspepsia Cure

Starvation seems strange remedy for any
disease. Yet starvation by rigorous diet
was once generally resorted to in cases of
indigestion or other stomach trouble. Even
yet it is sometimes tried. Such a
day of life consumes a portion of the tissues
CT the human body. The food we eat serves
to repair this waste and you can't build up
, the system by Withholding ma eerial for the
purpose. If the stomach is in such condi-
ton that it cannot furnish it the task must
be performed without the stomachs assist
ance. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is the only
are others which act on certain kinds of
food, but Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is the only
one which digests them all as the stomach
digests them. Man is SO constituted that
be needs variety of food and to reduce this
variety always produces bad results.

In ninety-nine cases in hundred indiges-
ton is due to lack of some of the elements
which constitute the natural digestive
juices, usually to the absence of hydrochlo-
rio acid from the stomach. 1t is by the ac-
tion of these juices that food is reduced to
form in which it can be transformed into
living tissue. With any of them lacking it
is easy to see that the process of digestion
cannot be perfectly performed.
With the single exception of Kodol Dys-
pepsia Cure all preparations for the relief of
indigestion lack certain of these elements.
Consequently they cannot digest all classes
OF food. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure contains
them all. 1t will digest anything that the
healthy stomach can digest. Its natures

Don't resort to stimulating tonics. Such
drugs simply urge the already overworked
stomach to renewed eXertions. 1t is like

st. Louis, NO., Jan. 23.-Young Corbett
has no histrionic ambitions. He does not
dream of shining before the footlights.
I'm a fighter" he said, acting is not
in my line.
ION the square, don't think much of
this acting game. at least not for pugilists.
What license would Mansfield have to go
into the ring with Jeffries? Well, what
license has a scrapper got to get into the
Mansfield ring and battle for the heavy
weight championship?
II figure a man ought TO stick to his
business. People don't pay to see cnam5
pion act. They want to see him box and
size him up as he looks in the ring.
There's another thing. Stage air is not
healthy Knocking around stage dressing
rooms and playing a part where you lose a
let of nervous energy and doing this every
night and three times week in the af-
ternoon saps the vitality, All 1 do is to
box, punch the bag and then get away

Cincinnati, Jan. 23.-Miller Higgins,
the clever little second baseman. yester-
day signed a contract to play again at
st. Paul. The work of Higgins in the
Western league last season was such as
to warrant his retention with the same
club, whose contract he signed early
yesterday morning. The st. Paul team
had scarcely disbanded at the close of
last season when Higgins was asked
to name his terms for 1902. The pro-
positions, however, were not to Hug
gins liking. Contracts were received
and returned with surprising regularity
until yesterdays mail brought the pa
per with proper figures.
