The old question of numbering the
| players on the field 80 that they can
be picked out by reference TO tho
score card has come up again. Some
! fans want this system introduced,
claiming that il would add to the
/ pleasure of Witnessing contest 10
! be able to glance at a huge number
on the back or chest of an athlete
and then refer TO card and pick
out his name There Is no chance,
though, OF any such method being
introduced 1t would be a bit of
humiliation 10 the players to havo to
wear such pictures on their manly
forms which Is entirely unnecessary.
To be sure. q fan who ia not per
sonally familiar with all the athletes
sometimes has to ask his neighbor
the identity of certain players, but
that Is small matter. With jockeys
and bicycle riders the case is very
different. The former ride In all
kinds of weather conditions and very
often 1t Is utterly impossible TO rec
ognize the boy in big field unless
he is provided with large Identified
tlon slip In the form of a number on
his back. The same is true of bicycle
riders. But the ball player Is different,
His calling Is higher one than either
OF the others. His personality Is
more evident to the spectators than
that of jocky OF a man bumped over
a machine He Is an Individual not
piece of machinery. He is not n
driver of a horse or OF nm automobile,
but an artist In his way. 1t would
be as foolish to compel him to wear
q huge and disfgurlng number on his
back as IL would be to inf1Ict the
same necessity upon a star actor or
singer. II doesn't hurt any one to
ask his neighbor a question as TO n
player or two, II he Is watching a
game In a foreign city, where he is
not familiar with all the athletes.
Fuprthermore, the score cards give
a very good line on the names of
the players. and under the new rules
In the National league the umpiTcs
are instructed TO announce all shifts
In the lineup before the game and also
all changes in the batting order made
do their full duty In this matter there
Will be no trouble for any spectator
In recognizing the athletes even II
he has never seen any of them be-

He turned as if he had just seen the

The two men advanced and shook

the king, was short and Of massive
build, though a much younger man.
He was a dark, lowering hulk of a

little just as soon as you can. There
will be no sour risings, no belching
of undigested food mixed with acid,
no stomach gas or heartburn, fullness
or heavy feeling in the stomach, Maui
sea, Debilitating Headaches, Dizzi
ness or Intestinal gripping. This will
all go, and besides, there will be no
undigested food left over in the stom-
ach to poison your breath with nause-
Gus Odors.
Pape's Diapepsin is certain cure for
out-of-order stomachs, because it pre-
vents fermentation and takes hold of
your food and digests it just the same
as if your stomach wasn't there.

ach misery is waiting for you at any
drug store here in town.
These large 50-cent cases of Pape's

There is story of a man who was
so transported with joy as he stood
up at the altar rail to be married,
that his thoughts reverted to a day
when he stood up at the prisoners
bar in court of justice to plead
guilty" or mot guilty to criminal
charge. SO powerfully did that, the
most painful event of his life, obtrude
itself upon his mind, that when the
clergyman put the question, wilt
thou have this woman to be thy
welded wife," and so on, the poor
distracted bridegroom answered with
startling distinctness, mot guilty, so
