CONNIE MACK APPRECIATES
The TRUE VALUE OF BAKER

Really when you have time 10 pause
and ruminate. there is considerable
sanity to all of Connie Macks con
tontions. IL viii be remembered that
the foxy impresario with the White
Elephants blurtcd out in his most an
gry fashion last year with the state
ment that Ty Cobb was responsible
for the defeat OF the Athletics of the
American league ponnant in 1909. He
gave as his reason that Ty had spiked
and put out Of the game Third Base
man Baker and in the loss Of Baker
the Athletics sustained a loss that was
irreparable.
Very few al the time gave Baker
credit for being such an indispensable
adjunct To any baseball team. But
in the light Of recent battles for the
big prize Baker is some important cog
TO the great machine Cornelius Mo
Gillicuddy has constructed.
In all Of the games SO far Baker has
secured his fun quota OF hits against
the best slabmen on the Cubs staf and
has played brilliantly in the field.
So Connie did not overestimate
Baker's services after all With such
strong pennant aspirations as tho
Philadelphia entertains always, the
depth of feeling he inserted in the
Cobb Baker spiking affair was per-
haps merited after ALL While Mr.
Mack. perhaps went a little far in his
disgust of Cobb on that occasion my
saying that the Georgian spiked Bak-
or with malice aforethought. still i'm
the heat of passion over the loss Of an
indispensable baseball player one may
give vent to all sorts of harsh express
sions.
Cobb comedies With Macks opinion
Of Baker. Ty is quoted as Saying that
the Athletics third bascman will be
much feared batter in the all future
world series games.

DID f. M'COORTY
HAVE COLD FEET?
FRIEND OF OSHKOSH MIDDLE.
WEIGHT DEFENDS HIM AGAINST
CHARGES WHICH HAVE
BEEN IMPLIED.

Eddie McGoortys sudden illness juss
previous to his entry into the ring
win Frank Klaus at the Badger Ath-
Ietic clubs show at Milwaukee last
Friday, has been the cause of consid-
orable adverse criticism against the
oshkosh middle weight Many of the
astlc followers claim that Eddie de-
iberately quit" but this view is not
shared by all of the fans.
McGoorty has one staunch supporter.
however, i'm Lawrence Hart of Glidden,
Wis, who writes as follows to the
Evening Wisconsin.
There has been so much comment
regarding McGoorty's getting cold feet
ON last Friday evening that you will.
( trust pardon a few lines on the SUBJ
iect from party who came 800 miles
from the wild woods of Wisconsin to
see the contest. In the first place,
there was a discrepancy i'm the scales
nj McGoorty's training quarters. He
only weighed 157 pounds and when he
came to Milwaukee weighed over $50
mounds. This bothered and worried
the boy. A reducing bath did the rest,
entirely uniting him for contest,
ms testified to by DR.. F'rew. ! saw Nc
Goorty when only is years old fight
bic Tom McCune at Duluth. on this
occasion McGoorty had only myself
and two friends with him i'm the hall
and an inexperienced boy to handle
him. And If ever boy put up n game
fight under adverse circumstances it
was this same Eddie McGoorty.
If few of the people were with
me that evening they would not say
this boy was addicted to cold feet and
! sincerely hope the public will give
this great young boxer credit for what
he has accomplished and do not con
denim him before he gets chance to
redeem himself. Yours. Laurence
Hart, Glidden. Wis.
According to the latest reports from
oshkosh, where McGoorty now is, the
middle weight has nearly collapsed and
II will be some time before he will be
able to resume his ring engagements.
II is said by several of Eddic's
friends that he has become a nervous
wreck and that IL is unlikely that he
will be able to round into condition
for some time to come. Packey Nc

COBB WOULD QUIT DETROIT.

Detroit, Mich, oct. 21.-"Ty'' Cobb
wants TO get away from Detroit. The
greatest of ball players admitted to
Detroit friend in Philadelphia, that
he would welcome a change of scenery.
Il am beginning TO feel that they do
not appreciate me in Detroit" said
Cobb
Cobb further stated that he liked the
city. had many friends here, but rs
still sensitive over the criticism, iii
rected at him this year, by the Detroit
press.
In his exalted position. as star
ball player Cobb thinks he is above
criticism. AS his contract has two
more years to run, there is no chance
that Detroit will lose him, much as he
desires to quit the city of the straights.

Carroll Mr.. Umpire how is this Tor
interfering with the play?'
"The umpire rushed over TO third.
He saw the ball rolling away from
the base. He saw Carroll apparently
holding the third baseman fiat on the
ground. and thus preventing him from
fielding the ball. The case, to a spec
tator who hadn't seen Reiny's orig
inal performance was plain enough
on the face of it. And the umpire
called Carroll out for interfering with
the play.
Carroll was never much Of a talker.

busy occupation. There was several

It's matter of general interest Just now
how ones physical condition can be got into

because of ill-considered food and much
time spent indoors. Spring came with its

Many other parents take advantage of what

| called in consultation. All good family
physicians say Give che children

edy of old. for they took it themselves as
| children. I was more then thirty years ago
| that Castoria made place for itself in the
household. 1t bore the signature of Charles
Il. Fletcher then. as it does to-day. The

Much is printed nowadays about big
families. DIR. William j. McCrann, of
Omaha, Neb Is the father of one of these
much-read-about families. Here is what he
says:
''As the father of thirteen children GER
tainiy know something about great medi-
cine, and aside from my own family exper-
fence have, in my years of practice. fund
Castoria a popular and efficient remedy in
almost every home"
Charles II. Fletcher has received hun
dreds of letters from prominent physicians
who have the same esteem for Castoria that
DR. McCrann has. Not only do these
physicians say they use Castoria in their
own families, but they prescribe it for their
patients. First of all it is vegetable prep
aration which ASS. initiates the food and reg
ulates the stomach and bowels. After eat
ing comes sleeping, and Castoria looks out
for that too. 1t alays feverishness and
prevents loss of sleep, and this absolutely
without the use of opium, morphine or
other baneful narcotic.

medicines. Halls Journal of

After warm debate of more than three
hours. the national encsmpment of tile
Grand Army of the Republic at its final
session in Atlantic City indefinitely
postponed action on the whole matter in
relation to the controversy over the
placing of the statue of Robert E. Lee
IN Statuary Hall of the Capitol at Wash
ington. The vote was 1873 to Io2. The
conservative element controlled the
eucampment and won the day on the
argument that the bitterness engendered
in the War Between the States was
disappearing. and that sectional hatred
should not be revived; that action adverse
to the Lee statue would do more harm
than good, especially to the Grand Army
of the Republic. and last. but not least,
that the State of Virginia. under the act
of Congress of 1864. had the right to place
in Statuary Hall the image of any man
from the State whose memory il chose to
perpetuate.
