4 SANHTARIUM where old men
~ will be mad young" is one of the
things that is helping Benja-
min Meyer, Esq, to pass away the time
at Hematite, Mo. The above is Ben
MES own explanation of how he is
keeping in trim for mex season as a
member of the Newark Eastern League
club. Meyer owns something like $50
acres of fertile farming land in the
wilds OF Hematite, which is about
thirty-seYen miles outside of st. Louis.
Benny's plan is to start a saf1itaritDn
where the business men may recuperate
along similar plans to those used at
the famous Muidoon sanitariun.
With his bosom companion a fellow
baseball player, Charley Sits, second
sacker of the Holyoke New England
League club, to help him, the popular
Tiger is laying the foundation of a
gymnasium hat will be one of the
group OF buildings. Meyer writes that
he has already converted some old men,
who were venerable Rip Van Wrinkles,
feel like youngsters under his vigorous
treatment. 1t is Benny's plan to de-
velop the institution into a successful
plant that will provide a goodly income
whan his baseball days are over.
The sanitarium is not the only thing
that holds the Tigers attention. He is
busy tending to his farm land, build
ing fences and splitting rails. In one
day he split n~inety-two rails. A man
who can split 100 rails in a day is con-
sidered a Hercules, so it can be seen
that Benny is versatile and his talents
are not limited to baseball playing and
coaching.
Bad weather last night kept away
many of the boxers who frequent
Paddy McGuigan's Harrison Club.
There was a. fair crowd on hand,
though. McGuigan told the members
they could have their money back, but
so long as they were over there the.
crowd decided to remain. McGuigan's
two sons, Johnny and Willie, hav
fought at the club many a time. They
were called on again last night, in spite
of Mrs. Michigan, who sits in the Nc
Euigan kitchen, which is arranged in
such a way that the mother of the
boys can look right into the ring.
Every time one of the lads is used
roughly their father catches it for fair.
Last night Paddy felt called on to send

fellow. Al he was about to introduce
the boy somebody said: ''W11o is it?''
That's the only one in the family who
hasn't been in the ring, except his
mother, and she'll be down soon," con-
cluded Paddy, as he looked up through
the skyiight, where Mrs. Michigan vas

strange that Ty was allowed to go as
