Hints for Health.

A medical journal declares that it
Is not change of air nor change of
scene that makes a holiday, but change
OF sound.
The silence Of the country is a tonic
to the nerves after the rush and roar
Of the city. but the country dwellcr is
inylgorated by escape from that very
silence to the tumult of the town.
Hence it is argued that city people
should vary their noises with as much
silence a they can get, while country
people should reGeate themselves with
noisy games and brass bands.

talls Of Housekeeping put on her hat

Speculation About the Staff for
This Year.
All VIII Be Kept Until the
Season Opens.
SHOWING GOOD FORM
But They Have Not Been Thor.
Oughly Tested.
This Cannot Come Until the
Real Play Begins.
SUNDAY.

Who will compose the pitching squad
of the Topeka team when the season
starts.
This is the question which is now
taking preference, when fan meets fan.
The answer is easy-aH of them will
that is in all probability. unless some
of the number should prove OF so lit
tie worth that 1t would be a needless
expense to carry him. From the form
shown thus far there will be none in
this class.
After the season starts-that is an
other problem. Cooley alone can foresee
the future.
The selection OF a pitching staff is a
matter of much consequence. There are
now seven men working for berths, and
there may be still another, who will re-
port later on. 81 will be satisfied IL 1

former years, my pitching staff has
been my worst trial. Good pitchers are
the scarcest luxuries in the game to-
day. In 1906 we won the pennant With
only one reliable pitcher, McInnis. At
times Forester showed great form, and
at times he didn't. Late in the season
we secured Halla who helped out con-
sfderably. The remainder of that sea-
sen was spent IN trying experiments.
In 1907 Halla proved the mainstay, and
was the only real classy twirler we
had. Last year 1t was much the same
way. we started with a pitching staff
that was doped pretty high, but after
q month was over. we found Hager-
man was the only real pitcher we had.
Later we secured Selby and Roach, but
for a good deal of the season we were
handicapped in the box.
''This season 1t will be different.
Most Of the pitchers this season have
had a lot of experience and what they
lack in experience they are willing to
make up in paying attention to what
they are taught by the older players.
j expect to keep every man until the
season starts. and I will work out a
good staff from my present material
with which 1 am entirely satisfied"
At this season of the year 1t is utter
ly impossible to tell much about a
pitchers ability. The best games OF
the exhibition season have been play
ed, but the pitchers were not able to
show much on account of weather. The
real test Of a pitcher is what he can
do under fire. This test has been lack
ing on account of the weather.
From now until the season starts the
games will be played with smaller
