American League twirler, now IN the
Eastern League.
They look so much alike that they
are frequently taken one for the other.
George Wiltse was at the Oriental Ho-
tel in Dallas last Tuesday, when Wash
ington played Dallas. and told a story
Of how Lew once passed himself on
for George and gained 500 thereby.
The incident arose one Saturday be-
fore the National Commission forbade
league pitchers from DONG turns with
independent teams. George Wiltse had
been engaged and extensively adver-
tised TO pitch for a club near New
York, and was to get a century for
the afternoons performance. When the
day came around Manager McGraw
ordered him 20 pitch in New York for
the Giants. 1t was a bad position,
but knowing how much he resembled
his brother, George sent Lew Giant
uniform by a messenger boy, and asked
him 70 fill the date. Lew got an aft
ernoon off from his own club. pitched

nine, and no one ever knew the diff

constantly confuse these spring prod

near reporting time, found one whom

his suffering was terrible. He used dh-

10 be good for that disease. but nothing
seemed to do him much good. When it
came on the third summer, he bought q

better and he cured himself entirely
with Cuticura and has never been
bothered with eczema since. He also
used Cuticura to cure bunch over his

that he could not wear his shoe. A

The approach of the train two miles

The welcoming hand was extended
