GOOD BASEBALL PLAYERS

Various Leagues All Over the Country
Constantly on the Watch for

There never was a time in my base

there was such strong demand for
good baseball players" said AL Tear

Tearney is in touch with hundreds
of ball PLAYERS all over the country.
and when they are idle they make
his place their headquarters
Pitchers especially are needed by
all of the minor league teams and al
most any price is paid for them il they
are little above the grade called fair.
Tearney said. 1t is no trouble at
all for the good men of the business
10 get the extreme salary limit in good
towns just as long as they can deliver
the goods.
But it is hitterS that are snapped
up quicker than anything else. Any
body that can send out the long drive
is signed Immediately at a good price.

IN AGONY WITH ECZEMA.
Whole Body a Mass of Raw, Bleeding,
Torturinq Humor Hoped Death
Would End Fearful Suffering.
In Despair; Cured by cutieura.

Words cannot describe the terrible

on my head and kept spreading until
it covered my whole body.
was almost q solid mass OF sores from.
head TO foot I looked more like a
piece of raw beef than a human be-

seemed more than could bear. Blood
and pus oozed from the great sore on
my scalp, from under my finger nails,
and nearly all over my body. My
ears were so crusted and swollen /

Every hair in my head fell out I
could not sit down, for my clothes
would stick to the raw and bleeding
neSh, making me cry out from the
pain. Ny family doctor did all he
could, but / got worse and worse. My
condition was awful. I did not think
I could live, and wanted death to
come and end my frightful sufferings-
In this condition my mother-in-law
begged me to try the Cuticura Rem
edieS- I said would, but had no hope
of recovery. But oh, what blessed re-
lief experienced after applying Cut-
cura Ointment It cooled the bleeding
and itching flesh and brought me the
first real sleep had had in weeks 1t
was as grateful as ice to a burning
tongue. 1 would bathe with warm
water and Cutieura Soap, then apply
the Ointment freely. also took Cuti-
cura Resolvent for the blood. In a
short time the sores stopped running,
the flesh began to heal, and knew I
was to get well again. Then the hair
on my head began to grow, and in a
short time I was completely cured.

TRIPLE PLAY BECOMING
COMMON IN BASEBALL

Several years ago and up TO
the present season a triple play
was practically unheard of in Or
ganized baseball. They could
be counted on the fingers of one
hand for q season The cam
paign of 1909 will go down in
history as a record breaker for
triple plays. Three have been
made in the American league
alone. but the best play of all
happened at Cleveland when
Ball pulled one off unaSSisted.
Triple play features have opened
up on the Pacific coast league.
In a game between San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles the other
day a peculiar and of triple
play was made. With runners
ON first and second, McArdle hit
a terrific line drive to deep left
center and appeared to be a
sure triple. Carroll made
good catch OF the ball. and the
rest was easy, for the baserun-
ners were far around the paths
when the ball was caught, and
could not get back to their
bases ahead of the throw.

This was the cause.
She sat with sunken chest, elevated
shoulders. and projecting chin. one leg

her whole attitude devoid OF ease and
elegance. Added to this, she was care
iessly dressed. Her attire was clean and

fitted badly about the shoulders. There
was no thought given to the choice OF
becoming colors, and her hat was un-

There is no genius, no goodness, no

Everything about a woman should ex.

useless for the woman who is not beau

deceive a few superficial observers for
a time. but a selfish OF cruel habit OF
thought or a vain mind soon hardens
