The Cincinnati Club will pay good price
for a couple of good infielders and one star

club is in the market for at least six good
tcssers. as 1t is President Potter's wish to
practically organize the team.
Connie Mack may stand pat on his bunch

will not be compelled to do much worrying
on the question Of youngsters. AS the Bos-
ton American team stands 1t Is practically
complete and sound in every department:
In the outfield and in the box Larry, La
joie's team Of Bluebirds is not particularly
strong, and Larry more than likely has a
new outfeld and one or two pitchers In
view.
and also needs another infieider who can
hit the ball Nor has Barrows gotten over
his hankering for good southpaw twirler.
While in st. Louis recently Barrows intend
ed to give young Hines. a local minor
Lacquer a chance with his team. but could
not locate the youngster.
If Lotus is forced out at Washington next
season the chances are that that team will
have many new faces in the lineup. Some
of the old players on that team probably
will be with the minors before many years.
and the team intends to strengthen for the
time when the already crumbling Senators
fall to DieCeS.

Why Varicocele Causes Sexual
Weakness.

va1cocele is a weakened ard broken
down condition Of the spermatic veins and
sexual circulation. The life Of important
organs is involved. The glands are denied
the proper quantity and quality Of blood.
and in consequence Of the stagnation the
parts become weakened and wasted. Tho
nerves are life. and the life of the nerves
Is the blood. As the circulation is sluggish.
cele slowly but surely lowers the standard
Of vitality and depletes the nervous sys-
tenn, which is the foundation Of physical
strength and that masterful quality which
- best expressed by the term-manliness.
