MAKES 10 HITS IN 10 TIMES UP.
McGraw Has Batting Wonder
 Beats World's Record.

Manager John J. McGraw of the New York Giants has uncovered a youngster who just at present is batting wonder. He is with the team at Marlin Springs Texas, and has been swatting the ball regularly.
 Now, there is a lesson to the big. husky fellows who go up to the bat with a ton of weight behind their swings and never hit over .250. Look at that kid choke that bat" Me- Graw was talking, and Johnny Cocash the swift little outfielder from Spring field, H., was yielding the stick against Rube Marquard. He was holding his bat almost in the middle in other words, choking 1t.
 Marquard shot a sizzler over, and with hardly move to his body Co., cash whipped the little bat around en- tirely with his arms. There was a sharp crack as 1t met the ball square, ly, and the sphere went sailing over left field fence for home run. That Is the proper way to bat" observed McGraw. ''and some of these days you'll see that boy making them take notice In the big league. He is what I call an up to date ball player. He plays the game with science instead of brute strength"
 Last night the work of Cocash. a boy who had been pretty much in the DdCkStOuliu dL tue 6ldEt. WdS tHe ldik of the camp. In two days he has broken the worlds record of success sive hits. even though it was on prac- tice games. In the two days Cocash went to bat ten times and made ten successive hits. every one ofIwhich was as clean as a whistle. That is going somewhat. Three of his drives were home runs and three of them those grass burners that sizzled down the foul line for three bases. The rest were singles. just over the heads of the infesders.
 Cocash is a short, stocky built fel- low, and though he does not look to weigh over 140 he is so compactly put together that he tips the beam at 160 He is a tricky base runner. ;n addi- ton to the fact that he hits like a Willie Keeler. When Fred Penney had looked him over this afternoon, as well as the other young talent he said to me: T would like to have all the fellows McGraw turns loose in one team in the Eastern league. It would be wonder and would make all kinds of money"

conspirator. Winter unexpectedly met a
relative. Mrs. Millicent Melville. who
told him that his Aunt Eshecca, Archie
and the latter's nurse, Miss Janet smith,
were to leave for the wess with the
colonel and Mrs. Melville A great finan-
cial magnate was aboard the train, on
which Col. Winter met his Aunt Rebec-
ca, Miss Smith and Archie. He set his
orderly. Sergt. Haley, to watch over Cary
Mercer. Col. Winter learned mat the

Winter to himself admitted that he loved
Miss Smith. Mercer told Winter that
Archie bad overheard plans for a coup
which Mercer and his friends wanted to
carry out. For that reason Archie had
been kidnapped. One of MERGERS friends

turned from the police station to his auto

him, the blow killing his wife. Despite
the fact that Mercer was in Keatcham's
service, he was holding him prisoner in

father of his college friend, Endicott

FOOD FACTS
What an M. D. Learned.

A prominent Georgia physician went
through a food experience which he
makes public:
at was my own experience that first
led me to advocate Grape-Nuts food
and l also know, from having pre-
scribed it to convalescents and other
weak patients, that the food is a won
derful builder and restorer of nerve
and brain tissue, as well as muscle. 1t
improves the digestion and sick pa
tients always gain just as l did in
strength and weight very rapidly.
Il was in such a low state that I
had to give up my work entirely, and
went to the mountains of this state,
but two months there did not improve
me; in fact / was not quite as well as
when l left home.
MY food did not sustain me and
it became plain that / must change.
Then / began to use Grape-Nuts food
and in two weeks ! could walk a mile
without fatigue, and in five weeks
returned to my home and practice,
taking up hard work again. Since that
time / have felt as well and strong as
l ever did in my life.
"As a physician who seeks to help
all sufferers, / consider it a duty to
make these facts public"
Trial 10 days on Grape-Nuts, when
the regular food does not seem to sus-
tain the body, will work miracles.
