Nervous
Collapse

Il have travelled for thirty
years continually. I lost a great
deal of sleep, which together
with constant worry left me in
such a nervous state that finally,
after having two collapses of
nervous prostration, I was
obliged to give up travelling al
together. I doctored continually
but with no relief. DIR. Miles
Nervine came to my rescue-I
cannot describe the suffering
which this Nervine saved me.
Whenever I am particularly
nervous a few doses relieve me-"
A. G. c. LIBBY, Wells, Me.
There are many nervous
wrecks. There is nervous pros
tration of the stomach, of the
bowels, and other organs. The
brain, the kidneys, the liver, the
nerve centers are all exhausted.
There is but one thing to do
build up the nervous system by
the use of DIR. Miles Restora-
tive Nervine. It's strength
ening influence upon the nerv-
Gus system restores normal
action to the organs, and when
they all work in harmony, health
is assured. Get bottle from
your druggist. Take it all ac-
cording to directions, and if it
does not benefit he will return
your money.

HOLMES is NOT AN OLD 'UN.

If .Ducky' Holmes feet twinkle as
fast next summer in Toledo as his
tongue did on the occasion of his re-
cent visit there, "Ducky'' will lead the
league in stolen bases.
The Toledo Blade recently printed
the following:
s'Ducky Holmes becomes real fused

tionally refers to him as an old 'un.
''I am not at all DID, says his duck

as spry as many of my youngsters. Go
and look UP the records and see if I

some for the short period I played. At
that I stole fifteen more that 1 was

ISBELL SIGNS MANY PLAYERS.
Is on the Lookout for Good Pitcher


Wichita, Kan. Jan. 20.-Frank IsbeIl,
now sole owner of the Wichita club Of
the Western league, declares ne will
nave first division team this year
coming season and has forwarded con-
tracts to fourteen other players for
their approval. He has lines out for
numerous others.
The men to whom contracts have
been forwarded are George Hughes,
Berdette White, George Westerzil, Ned
Fettigrew. Bert Shaner. Bob Hassler, ].
z, Shackleford, r. Aitchisln B. M
Weller, John Bolin, Clyde Jarnigan. Ira
Belden. Pat Bohannon and Ben Hunt.
He has already signed Middleton, Jok-
erst and Locke.
The majority of these players are
known in Western league circles.
Hughes, Westerzil and White finished
last season with Wichita, playing sec
ond, third and short. Pettigrew and
middleton We're regular performers in
the outheld- Jokerst worked behind the
pat for Wichita at the tail end of the
season. Hunt and Hassler are Kansas
league products who finished the sea-
son with the Jobbers last year Shaner
ana A1tchison were on the regular
tlnging staff throughout the season.
Shackleford, who was picked up in the
short grass circuit, made a good show
ing with Wichita during a few games
the latter part of the season. Belden
guarded left garden for Denver last
year Bohannon was on the tossing
brigade of the same bunch. Bolin,
Weller. ande.Jarnigan have been doing
slab work i outlaw and college teams
and are being tried more as an expert
ment. Locke is touted as coming
wonder by Isbell.
Isbell is on the lookout for good
catcher or two. Jokerst showed abil-
1ty last year, but Isbell says he wants
some old heads behind the bat

SHAW TO PLAY WITH WICHITA.
Former White Sox Catcher Comes to
Kansas

AL Shaw, formerly a catcher with
the Chicago White Sox and with the
Boston Nationals. will be the regular
catcher of the Wichita team in 1910.
Frank Isbell, president of the local
pail club, received a letter from him
in which he accepted terms which are
the highest ever paid by the Wichita
club to a player.
In the fall of 1907 Washington
traded Shaw to Chicago for McFar-
land. That year he was Comiskey's
utility catcher Last year he was sold
to Indianapolis, but was later traded to
the Boston Nationals. He signed a
contract with Boston, which called for
his release at the end of the season if
he was not played regularly. He took
advantage of this contract this fall.
Before going to Washington Shaw
played with Buffalo in the Eastern
league for three years. He is now in

Pencil of Wichita a Contender for
OutfieId

Denver, Col. Jan. 2O.-Manager Gun
tbrope, half owner of the Denver team,
has given out the following as the
probable lineup of the Grizzlies this
season:
'Catehers-Ruck Weaver formerly
with Wichita; Swampy Thompson, also
to be used as utility; A. W. Queisser,
drafted from the Texas league; Bert
Haas and Dean Woods. a seni-pro, who
halls from the wilds of Bisbee, Ariz..
remain in the Western but one season
before jumping to the majors.
First base-Chris Lindsay, last years
hustling guardian of that position, will
return.
Second base will be taken care of
by that famous 'Dutehman' from Dali
las, Texas, Heinie Mag, and he's
about the most capable man in the
league for this sack.
Third will be played by Dolan, whom
Manager Hendricks recently purchased
from Cincinnati. He led the Wiscon-
sin-Illinois league last season at bat
(-334) and fielding, too, (954). The pur-
chase of this player set the manage
ment back an even $500.
"Shortstop-This position will again
be given to Chicken Hartman, who
worked there last season. Chick thinks
that he will have great season the
coming year, and if he continues to
improve, will have but little trouble in
leading others of the league.
'Outfielders-Old reliable Harry Cas-
sidy will return, which means this end
will be well looked after. Pennell, who
played last season with Wichita, will
be one OF the contenderS for an out
field position during the spring train
ing trip and judging from the official
dope he will be able to make good.
''Pitchers-This is the department in
which the Grizzlies are expected to
shine the coming year. Hank Olmstead,
the Escanaba, Mich, fiddler, and one of
the premier pitchers of the Western in
1909, will return. Oscar Knobs, who
played with the team the last two
weeks Of the season. is expected to do
good work. Then in Lower, from Gin
cinnati, and Schneider. a southpaw
from Indianapolis, we have two of the
same class as Olmstead. with Herbert
and Mitchell. drafted from the Texas
league, highly recommended. One or
two seni-pros will also be given a trial.
Grover Gillen, suspended, is expected
to return, or will be traded, on account
of the number of pitchers now signed -

HAS GOOD WORD FOR WICHITA
Manager Holland of st. Joseph Con-
cedeS Them Second.

ST. Joseph. Mo-, Jan. 20.-"If Frank
Isbell gets away to play with the team
next season. 1 look for Wichita to finish
just behind st. joe" says Jack HoI-
land. "You couldn't expect me to
look for the old team to finish ahead
of my new one. Yet it might do SO for
all that. With himself, or Bohannon
on first, Hughes, new shortstop, and
Westerzil, l can not see where any in
field in the circuit would have the best
of him, while I must concede that
Belden, Pettigrew and Middleton make
about as nifty an outfeld as one could
wish to hove. Al Shaw and Jokerst
will hardly he beaten as catchers, and
the pitching staff, while it is made up
of youngsters for the most part, will
hold it's own. OF course, 1 believe that
st. Joe will win the series from the
'Izzies,'. but 1 concede that it will be a
battle royal. You can bet that there
will be a lot of good natured rivalry
between the two cities and teams, and
that is as it should be. When go to
Wichita at the head of another team,
| it will be for the purpose of winning
if I can. but only by playing better
baseball

O'BRIEN IS BEATEN.
Al Kaufman Proves Too Strong for
PhiIadelphian,

: philadelphia, Jan. ao.-Al Kaufman of
Jack O'Brien of this city in a six round
bout before the. National A. C. last night.
Only OBriens ring generalship saved
been for his clever clinching in the fourth
round O'Brien probably would have
been knocked out About the middle of
this round Kaufman drove a wicked
right to the wind and hooked a vicious
left to the chin O'Brien dropped to his
knees and when he arose he rushed to a
clinch. His clever foot work saved him.
In the fifth and sixth rounds O'Brien
would not allow the Californian to get set
The Philadelphia would jab the nose
with a left and then rush to a clinch be-
fore Kaufman could land with effect. In
the middle of the sixth round Kaufman
caught O'Brien coming in and almost lift
ed him off his feet with right uppercut.
O'Brien clinched and saved himself 1t
is doubtful whether O'Brien could have
lasted another round.

Treated for Crnun.

Fort Scott, Kan, Jan. 20.-The pres
in length in the trachea of the A.
months-old baby daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. George Finney of Fulton was dis
covered by means of the X-rays. The
child had been suffering intense agony
at times but on account of its cough
and the strangling which the presence
of the obstruction in the windpipe
caused. the trouble was thought to be
an attack of Group and treatment was
administered for that disease.
On the failure of the attempts to cor
rect the condition by this treatment, it
was thought wise to have an X-ray ex-
animation made to determine whether
or not there was foreign substance in
the throat or windpipe
The child was brought here SUNDAY
and an examination revealed the pres
ence Of the obstruction In the tracnea.
