LaiOie's Great Batting Record
Subject of Discussion.
VIII This Year Make His Debut
in Managerial Role.
AVERAGE FOR 8 YEARS.
Never Hit Less Than 1928 and
Averaged 1868 in 8 Seasons.
Is a Free Handed Hitter and
Gets All i'm His Reach.

Cleveland, o. March 4.-More than
ordinary interest attaches to what the
cleveland club may do in the American
league pennant race this year from the
fact that Napoleon Lajoie. the cham
plon slugger of the world, makes his
debut this season in the managerial
role
The big Frenchman is the first cham
pion batsman to manage a major club
since Cap" Arson started in the dual
capacity with the old Chicago club
For nine years Lajoie has been known
throughout the major league circuits as
a. terrible slugger.
The foul strike rule spit balls, i'm
proved fielding and every other thing
which is credited with being RESPONSE
BILE for the decline in batting have not
interfered with the Frenchman's abil-
ity to drive the ball safe more often
than any other man in either major
league, and it remains to be seen
whether the managerial cares of this
season will assist some one else in land
ing the batting honors in the American
league where all other things have
failed.
According to his major league record
OF the past nine years, Lajoie has
proven himself the greatest batter the
game has ever known.
Never during these nine years has his
batting average for the season fallen
below 1928, and in 1901 he kept his aV-
erage above the 400 mark throughout
the season and finished up with the re-
markable average of .422. His batting
record for nine years has been as fol-
lows:

How Sickness Starts
In The Inside Nerves

Most forms Of sickness start with the
inside nerves Indigestion. sour stomach.
heartburn. dyspepsia-weak kidneys, dia-
hetess Bright's dfsease-liver Irregularities
heart OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Irregularities
AL OF these ailments, and the ailments
which they in turn, bring on, are due di-
rectly to arrangements OF certain nerve
centers.
Understand hrst that we have two en-
tirely separate nerve systems. When we
walk, or talk, or act, we call into play a
certain set of nerves-nerves which obey
our mental commands. This is why the
arm can be raised. or the mouth opened,
or the eye shut, at the slightest desirea
That is why your fingers can delfcatety
pick up a pin one moment. and hold a
heavy hammer the HeXt.
Bat these are not the nerves we are to
consider here.
There is another set Of nerves which
control and govern and actuate the heart
and the stomach. the kidneys and the
liver and all OF the vital functions. You
can not control these nerves. By no su-
preme EFFORT Of mind can you make your
heart stop or start-nor can you even
make it vary by single beat in a min
ute- And so with the stomach and the
liver and the kidneys and the bowels
they are automatic-they do their work at
a certain set speed whether you are
awake or asleep-whethcr you will 1t or
not.
t is on these inside nerves that life and
health depends. So long as these nerves
perform their proper duties we are well
and strong When they fail we know it by
the inevitable symptoms-stomach, heart,
liver, kidney troubles. And these troubles
have no other origin, ever, than in these
same nerves. For the stomach, the heart,
the liver, the kidneys, have no power of
their own, no self control They owe their
every impulse to the inside nerves. The
nerves are the masters. The organs their
slaves
But the most interesting part about the
inside nerves is the bond of sympathy
which exists between all centers and
branches Of this great automatic system
The center, which, for instance, controls
the stomach is known to science as the
solar plexus." The heart center is called
the cardiac plexus-" The kidney center,
the renal plexus." Yet it is a we'll known
TACT that IN prize fights. a solar plexus
blow instantly stops the heart, although
Its usual operations concern only the
stomach. Why2 Because of the bond of
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1905-03-04

His record shows that he has been at
bat 4.025 times and has made !, 461 base
hits, which gives him a graded average
of 1863 for nine years work in the ma
jor leagues.
Truly no man in the history of the
game was ever more entitled to be her
aided as the champion of the world"
The only man who ever approached
Lajoie's record was cap" Arson, who
had a grand average of 1856 for Is
years. There was a time when Nation
al league adherentS tried to create the
impression than Hans Wagner was a
greater player than Lajoie, but the rec
has averaged 16 points higher than
Wagner's during both mems major
league careers.
Wagner has a. grand average of .S46
for eight years. and in no single year
has he ever had a batting average equal
to Lajoie's average of 1863 for nine
years.
Lajoie is free-hand hitter, impatient
while at bat and willing to hit any
thing within reach. He can pick a. ball
off his shoe tops or from behind his
ears and smash it out for two bases.
Not only that, but often with men on
the bases and the opposing pitcher
throwing the ball wide in an effort to
allow Lajoie to take his base on balls,
the big fellow will reach out and smash
the ball to the right field fence for two
or three bases, driving every one else
on the bases over the rubber and win
ming the game.
For nine years now major league
pitchers have been trying to find some
ball that Lajoie can not hit, until they
are about to admit that he knows
whereof he speaks when he says that
the only ball he can't hit is a ball he
can't reach.

Tommy Mowatt, the stock yards
fighter, who yesterday wired chal-

fight at $50 pounds for side bet OF

rounds may be necessary.

fuses to meet me-
