OFTEN OVERLOOK
SPEEDY PLAYERS
StaIIings Once Passed Hans
Wagner Up as Being
Too Awkward.
BY HARRY NELLY.

Great ball players often fail to show
their class young, although the oppo-
site is the general rule. The retire
ment of Hans Wagner of the Pitts
burg club makes his unusual advent
into baseball of interest.
Away back in 1895 Wagner was
young. raw-boned fellow playing on
the lots of Carnegie, Pa. He had at
tracted little attention even in the am
ateur ranks.
The Iron and Oil league. composed
of Oil City, Franklin, Bradford, War
rem. Pa, and cities of that class was
formed. Warren got in late and had
to recruit a team in less than two
weeks before the season started.
Charles Power, sporting editor of the
Pittsburg Dispatch. was president of
the league.
When Harry Pickett, George Frank
lin and II. w. Nelly, sr., decided to put
in team they hurried to Pittsburg
and Power dug up enough players to
fill nine uniforms. Harry Smith of the
Pirates, Claud Ritchey, AL Wagner,
John Wagner. Joe Rickert. Jimmie
Cooper and several others were i'm the
bunch. John Wagner came along, be-
ing a younger brother of AL. and get
ting recognition for that fact.
Limit of Aw<wardness.
At that time John Wagner was about
the limit for awkwardness and lack of
finish. He played third base and wob-
bled about that station like a blind
man on stills. His playing improved
gradually and in a few weeks he was
going right. The Warren team won
so many games the league broke up.
George Sailing, veteran manager,
dropped down frbm Buffalo TO get some
of the Warren talent He took Al Wag-
ner and Ritchey, but declared John
was so clumsy he never would make a
ball player. John went to Steuben-
vile, Paterson, n. J., and jumped to
Louisville. He has been up there at
the top ever since. Ed Barrow, former
Detroit and Toronto manager, TecOg-
nized his ability, as did Barney Drey-
fus. But at one time the great John
Wagner was actually passed up as a
dub by a baseball manager who had
already won a great reputation for be-
ing able to see the good ones coming.

Many Sleepless Nights, Owing to Persistent Cough. Relief
 Found at Last.

'For several winters past my wife has been troubled with q most persistent and disagreeable cough, which invariably eXtend- cd over period of several weeks and caused her many sleepless nights. writes Will J. Hayner, editor of the Bnrley, Col, Bulle- tin. Various remedies were tired each year, with beneficial results. In November last the cough again put in appearance and my wife, acting on the sug- gestion of a friend, purchased a bottle of Chamberlains Cough Remedy. The result was indeed marvellous. After three doses the cough entirely disappeared and has not manifested itself since This remedy Is for sale by all druggists and dealers.

B. V. SHERROD WRITES
 OF SIGHTS IN THE WEST.

Tucson, Arizona, Feb 15. 1908. Ed. News: For the informa- ton of my many friends, who might be interested in my trip through the West. and who last heard from me while at Porters- vile, Cal, am writing you from Tuscon, Arizona.
 After leaving Portersville, Cal, at which place I spent eight days, l journeyed via the Southern Pa citic Railway to Bakersfield, Cal, at which place I visited the oil fields. This latter Is an interest ing place, with its tremendous oil industries.
 From there 1 went to Los An- geles. At the latter place l vis- tied the ostrich farm, and also tile pigeon farm, the latter with one hundred thousand birds, and visited a number of beautiful parks. 1 also visited the beach, es, Venice and San Pedro. This latter place is the prospective shipping point of Southern Cali forn1a. and there the fleet will make a stop when northward bound in March l visited the Catalina Islands at which place l took the interesting trip in the glass-bottomed boat, viewing the ocean bottom. On our trip out to the island our steamer broke a shaft and was compelled to trans fer its passengers to another steamer.
 I have sojourned in Tucson, Arizona, five weeks. Tucson has a splendid location, with it's healthy climate. It forms the distributing point for the many mining interests in this section of the territory. It is the division headquarters for this division of tile Southern Pacific Railway, and here are located tie shops and storehouSes.
 Ny improvement has been sat isfaetory, but fear that 1t would hardly be permanent unless l were to remain in this section of tie country.
 I am leaving Tucson in | few days and shall go from here to Texas, where expect to visit for a couple of weeks among my many relatives in that state. 1 expect to be home by the middle of March.
 Very truly yours,
