disagreeable to the touch. Every i'm

this was the general aid to immoral

ed all around me this improper, in
decent and forced mingling of women

Willis was last year the mainstay OF

Donlin was McGraw's first lieuten-

So, with the teams that finished at

the fight this year more or less Grip

sarily tightens up. 1t gives PnlladeI-

National league race look now as
though Cincinnati and st. Louis could
get a foothold around the tail end of
the first division-for a time at least.

ors chip in from their wages to help
along. After each winning race the
victors are proudly toted about on the
shoulders Of their shipmates. The big
races are rowed in twelve-oared naval
cutters.
Now the Louisiana carries seventeen
trophies, one of them the Battenberg
cup, being solid gold, twenty two
inches in height, and the others of
solid silver. Her crew first came into
prominence when it won the Swedish
cup in August, 1907, from the cham
pionship crew of the Swedish cruiser
F'ylgia, then visiting at the James
town exposition. 1t was presented by
Prince Wilhelm. This start aroused
the Louisiana to the strength of ner
crew, and a campaign was started to
land every trophy In the fleet AS

every cup and came away with IL.
Never have they known defeat.
Naturally the most priced Of these

U. 5. Battelship Crack Racing Crew

Real worlds conquerors, with no
other worlds in sight TO overcome, are
the members of the rowing crew of
the United States battieship Louisiana,
who have won every trophy to be con-
tested for in the Atlantic fleet.
Returning from the recent cruise
around the world the twelve men who
pull in the Louisiana's racing cutter,
are the heroes of their ship and of the
fleet, for in every race against crews
of their own feet and against the for
eign stars they came off with nonors.
Long ago other ships Of the Atlantic
fleet quit betting against the Louisi-
ana, for there had been a scarcity of
money on these same ships following
every race with the Louisiana. How
ever the Jackies made up for this on
the world tour. Foreign sailors, very
proud of their oarsm1n were willing
to put slathers of coin on their chances
and not on one occasion did they take
any OF the American Jackies' si1no-
Icons.

O'DAY'S WORK AS

Few people give the umpire proper
consideration. They think he should
be cmnipotent They forget that an
umpire is but human, and being hui
man, can put err On the National
lcaglie circuit there is none better than
Hank O'Day, Outlines called Rank
Obey by rnrtizans who have lost az
much as $1.35 because "the other fell

Is an able conscientious arbitrator,

mond, O'Day can hold his own with
any Of the present generation Of dia-

Obey was umpiring a series in the

let out a yelp and the cardinal rooters

PLAYERS MAKE
GOOD WRITERS

There are two shining examples Of
present-day players who are making
or nave made, good as baseball writer's.
These are Addie Joss, the long, lean,
lank but not lazy twirler for the La
joie maps, and Charles Redhede Doom,
the fiery catcher Of the Philadelphia
Nationals. Joss has been in the news
paper game for a number of seasons,
picking up the work right after the
baseball season is over and continuing
until the big league teams become ac-
tive in the following campaign. Joss
comment upon worlds series for the
past two or three years has been we'll
worth reading, and his able column
Of notes and comment during the win
ter has done much to maintain in
terest in the game during the off sea-
son.
Seeing taht Joss made a success of
1t, Charlie Doom laid aside his tailor's
goose and shears and decided to take
a wnirl at writing. There is suspi-
cion in some minds that Doom does
not really do the work-that his name
is simply used over a column written
and edited by some clever Philadel-
phia newspaper man. They argue that
a mere tailor cannot put so much life
and ginger in his work. Those who
consider the question in that light do
not know Cnales Doom. The redhead
Is as bright inside mis- Uranium as
that is saying good
deal--for it was Doom who was or
dered out on the coach lines by that
rare comedian, Hank O'Day on one
occasion when darkness was settling
down, in order that the field might be
properly Illuminated from his sorrel
top, and the game continued. Dooin's
training camp dope has oeen readable.
albeit ne has been compelled, for the
sake of harmony on the team, to keep
his own good work in the background
and boost many another player not
nearly so worthy.

The Man Who
Eats Well
And Enjoys Food Lives Life
AS He Should and Gets
the Most From it.

The man who eats is the man who
works, and the man who works is the
man who wins Tireless workers de
pend upon a storehouse of vim and
vigor. India is noted for its fasters
and it's dreamers. Europe and Amer
lea for their eaters and their workers.
In America we have been doing
nothing but work this past quarter of
a century. That is why our old men
say, I'm my days no one had dyspep-
sia.' Of course, all men in those days
ate and worked now they work and
eat.
If eating interferes with business,
men give up eating. This is good
logic for the dollar-getter but poor
to live
Abuse of anything God given results
in punishment, and man is a pigmy
when it comes to cheating his system.
If you take from the system that
which is intended should remain, or
put into it that which is intended be
| kept out, you are cheating yourself,
and sooner or later pay the penalty.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are con
centrated vegetable and fruit essences
which give the system every fluid
every stimulant and ingredient nee
essary to gain the fullest strength
from everything which goes into the
stomach, or to keep from the system
everything which Should not lay and

If you will eat fast and improperly
| if you will drink and eat irregularly
and to excess, then give to Nature as
you do so enough of the essences she
demands to neutralize the bad effects
of your habits.
After meal take Stuart Dyspep
