How Players Improve Equipment.

How Players Improve Equipment.
Many baseball players are not satis-
fed with the gloves, bats and other
paraphernalia supplied by tie leading
manufacturers, but are continually al
tering their equipment to suit their
own individual tastes. Some plane
down the handles Of their bats: others
wrap the handles with cord or tape, to
make them thicker. In the past some
players have been known to hollow out
the thick ends of their bats and fill the
cavities with lead or iron, claiming
that the added weight enabled them to
send the ball farther.
Rube Waddell, tho Philadelphia
pitcher, has a thick pad sewed on the
lower edge OF his fielding glove, the
little finger edge, and this pad enables
him to cover just little bit more
ground when stopping drives through
his territory, and also is a better pro-
lection to his hand. other players
take the padding out of the middle of
the palms of their gloves, leaving only
the thin leather covering as a protec-
tion TO the middle of the palm of the
hand. They claim that they can grip
the ball better through this arrange
ment and that balls naturally ut into
the hollow thus formed, enabling them

Important to Ladies

We venture to assert, with
out fear of successful con-
tradiction, that the practi-
toner Of medicine who is
able to cure a surgical case
without resort TO cutting in
the end, will make more
friends and build up a better
practice than he who is ever
ready to draw the scalpel, no
matter how skillful he may
be. Operations are mdoubt-
edly a necessity, and all cred
it is to be given TO those who
master the art of operative
technique, but it cannot be
disregarded that every opera
tion is fraught with certain
risks and dangers, and that
until a, positive method Of
avoiding shocks, etc., be
found, the patients will fear
the surgeons knife and will
cling TO him who can con-
scientiously offer less risky
mefhod of cure. The LILY
REMEDIES offers you this
hope. We have cured others
and may cure you. If we
fail, there is yet time to try
other means. If the surgeon

INCREASED ASSESSMENT.
action Begun By Virginia Corpora
tiOn Commission.

Richmond (SpeciaD The State
OF Virginia is undertaking, through
Attorney General Anderson, to have
the assessments of railroad rights of
way, roadbed and track increased
Tor purposes of taxation. The rail-
roads are trying to show that such
thing would work a hardship and
that 1t is contrary to the constitution
OF the state.
Major Anderson is taking the
ground that the corporation commits
sion has the right TO fix the valua-
tion OF the roadbed, the right of way
and the tracks each and every year
that the constitution so directs, and
that 1t is wholly within the province
or the commission to increase the
values of the property at any time.
While members of the commission
nave said nothing on the subject, the
very best of reasons exist for the be-
lief that several of the roads will find
their property to be worth more this
year than 1t ever has been before;
and that the basis for this increase is
TO be found in the actual operations
or the companies as reported to the
commission, and which shows that
the earnings especially are reached
by allowing per cent. on the value
OF the property and the securities
outstanding.
