The Reason

Postum builds up the human
body to a prime condition Of
health, is that when coffee is
left off, the drug effects of
its disap-
pear and the elements in
Postum unite with the albu-
men of food to make gray
matter and rebuild the deli
cate nerve centres all over
the body and in the brain.
This sets up a perfect con-
dition of nerve health, and
the result is that the entire
body feels the effect of it.

BIG LEAGUES HAVE
A. RECORD SEASON

In so far as the major leagues and the
big minor organizations are concerned,
the season of 1909 was perhaps the great
est. finaf ciai success of base ball history.
For the obscure brush circuits it was
Just the reverse. Arthur Irwin, chief
scout OF the Highlanders, who went
through the highways and byways Of the
lesser cnannels of base ball as thoroughly
as a politician Sits the past of a rival,
has something interesting to say on the
situation.
Base ball." says Irwin. "has reached
such. a commercial state that every little
hamlet and village Is clamoring to get
professional representation. The result
is that leagues have been formed in terri
tory too sparsely settled or too uncon-
cerned to support their clubs. The
Weather club owners Of these little
towns corral the best talent and show up
the rest Of their company in manner
which breeds discomfort among the weak
er representatives.
Take Chattanooga for instance, in the
South Atlantic League. This Tennessee
town broke into the circuit last spring
and in the first few weeks nearly dis
rupted the league by so far outclassing
the rest that the pennant was assured
almost before the season started. The
president saved a smash by declaring
new race in the middle Of the season.
1.-The Central League, a class b organ
iZation had the most stormy season Of
it's career. The circuit was continually
shifted The interest became SO dead in
Grand Rapids that the city fathers passed
a law prohibiting play in the city limits.
And couple of seasons back Grand
Rapids was by far the best town in the
Central. Only a few towns like Atlanta,
Memphis and New Orleans made money
in the Southern.
New Orleans made it's greatest profits
through the sale OF players. The West
ern and American Association as we'll as
the Eastern had banner seasons because
the races in all three were close to the
very last. II you sift the thing down
you will find that the majority of the
lesser minor league managers who made
any money were those that developed
talent for sale to the big leagues.
The chief trouble with minor leagues
at present seems in adjusting territory
properly. Many of the smaller circuits.
especially of the middle west. are beaten
at the start by too great mileage. The
little leagues that are making most money
for investment are those compact or
PLANTATIONS that afford trolley jumps
from one end to the other and where the
salary limit is too low to prevent cor
ner on talent"

The 18th Infantry band, that had been
serenading the visitors outside the hotel

Thrty-four runs were made by the Ma
tionals in the third inning and thirty In
the ninth. The game required three hours
and forty-ive minutes to play.

AN OLD BALL GAME.
Washington Team Entertained in
ROYAL Stvle in Richmond.

An old newspaper clipping from Rich
mond paper. back in the middle sixties. has
been sent The Star by F. x. Dooley. tell
ing Of a base ball game between the Ma
tionals of this city and the Unions OF
Richmond. The score of the game was
143 to IL, but the chief interest centers
around the way the team was entertained
by the Virginians in comparison with the
business-like methods Of today.
The article reads as follows: At the
conclusion of the game the Nationals
were escorted to their hotel, where they
rested from their exertions of the after
noon, and at o'clock assembled in the
supper room Of the Ballard House to par
take Of banquet rendered them by the
Union club.
At 10 O'Clock the members Of the Ma
tional and Union clubs. one of each locked
ar1n-in- arm, together with invited guests,
entered the spacious dining room. where
there was presented to the eye such a
feast as the proprietors of that hotel
know so well how to serve out. Cham.
payne was the chief beverage.
Capt. Dooley OF the Union club arose
and rendered the champion ball. which
the Nationals had won. to Mr.. Williams

Sparks From the Diamond.

War talk is rampant In base ball circles.
The only thing that prevents the war
clouds from getting very dark is that no
one can find a good excuse for fight.
Hughey Jennings signed his contract
for 1910 with Detroit. So did Cobb. Ditto
Mullin and others. That kind Of team
work by the Tigers would have won the
worlds series.
The Pirates took the hide off the Tiger
and Pittsburg University scalped the In
dams foot ball warriors. That's enough
to make even Smoky City millionaires be-
have for a time.

You ask why; we'll that's an easy ques-
ton. Locustdale is the home of Tom
Jones, first sacker extraordinary OF the
champion Detroit team, and the whole
town Is proud of Tom.
A stranger would have thought the ma
tives were celebrating the Fourth Of July
when Tom arrived home the other even

village drum corps paraded the street
with Mr.. Jones heading the procession.

All-American Team.

A Detroit writer, in selecting an all
American team. is modest enough to name
six Tigers. Here are his selections: ID.
Jones. left field: Crawford, center field
Cobb, right field: Bush. shortstop; Chase.
first base: Lajoie. second base; Moriarty,
third base: Sullivan. catcher; Mullin, Joss
and Plank, pitchers.
That's a right strong ball team. but
Speaker looks better to us than Davy
Jones. Lord is surely a more finished
performer at third than Moriarty. and a
better hitter while the veteran Bobby
Wallace is just as good as Bush. and his
experience would steady up the infieId.
