ONE FOR cHIRoP1D1sT
Another Manager Has Secured Or.
Dandcr for Bald-Heads; so
Says The Ruriins
ton Gazette.


George Markley Of Keosauqua. Com
menting upon the move that paper fol-
lows by citing few things which 9TH
er managers are going to do. It says:
1t is claimed and the rumor will no
doubt be confirmed that Manager Bert
Hough of the Galesburg club has hired
Mademoiselle Parings, the celebrated
manicurist, to travel with the team
this season to see that their nails are
kept in the pink Of condition. Well
kept nails are always appreciated by
the fans. Manager Hough says no
hopes in this way to always keep his
men up to the scratch.
Manager Lou Drill Of Monmouth, &C.
cording to the little bird that usually
starts these stories, has made con-
tract with DR.. Bunion, the world-famed
chiropodist and pedicurist, who will
keep the feet of the athletes trimmed
to nicely. Corns are frequently the
cause of ball players base stealing
record being lowered. l.anager Drill
has the right idea
A dopeless dispatch from st. Paul
states that Manager Egan of the OF
tumwa squad has signed up DR.. Dippy,
an alienist of international reputation.
The doctor will look after all cases of
mental alteration on the team, treat
boneheads and other we'll known dis
orders. Manager Egan hopes to coc-
pletely eliminate the Merklitis by this
move and considers the money he pays
to DR.. Dippy we'll expended
Manager Prout of Hannibal has
often expressed the opinion that
balled-heade is the cause of i. uch
of the players failures. There is one
shining exception to this rule, how.
ever, and that is DR.. Yant However
Mr.. Prout pursuing this theory, it il
runlored has closed a contract with
Dr. Finecomb Dander, the scalp spec
ialist, who guarantees to cure all
cases of falling hair. DR.. Dander is
the originator of the pert remark,
He has such pretty Lair, it's too bad
he drinks Manager Prout thinks
every athlete should take care of his
hair. He bases the value of hair on
the Bible story of Samson. "Samson
might be living until this day." Mr.
Prout is said to have remarked, chad
he not allowed Deliah to give him a
hair cut. Hannibal will no doubt be
known as the "Sidecombs Players
can wear barettes, but rats are barred
Manager Phil Geier believes thai
spiritual training is the secret OF gooi
ball playing. With this in view, says
Dame Rumor, he has agreed to pa.
Rev. DR.. Bailem, D. D. /. x. L., /;
large salary to lead the team IN praye
during the season. Manager Geie
will be firm about this. Any playe
caught using cuss word will hav
his Bible taken away from him TO
one week and in addition receive te
slaps on the wrist. Billy Sunday
sermons will be the text book of tn
team.
Manager Babe Meyers of Quinc
has some ideas of his own as to ho'
ball team should be developed. II
thinks that any man who can maste
the game of skat should be .nigible |
pull off all kinds of inside plays G
the diamond and from an irresponsib
party the Gazette learns that he hi
secured the services of Prof. Hue
Hasenfeffer, the skatmeister, famo,
In Berlin, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, Da
export and Dutchtown. Prof. Hase
feffer will train the boys every nigl
IN the game of skat. The profess,
says that skat is just the same
sleep to man. With a thorous
knowledge of this pastime, the hidde
ball trick will never be missed
the game.
Some of the boys from the boil
shop at Kewanee told the Gazet
correspondent that Manager Bill Co
hers had Just closed deal with Pro
Santanelli PHint, the marvellous hypn
list. Prof. Pflint will keep the DO,
under his influence during the emit
season, and he thinks he has the rig
system. For instance, the profess
suggests to Maager Corners, "Yt
are going to hit the ball over Il
renee" and Manager Corners fort
With proceeds to wallop it so hard tn
II Is never found. In addition to ma
Ing them believe they are ball pla
ers, he will likewise have them for
ed into the idea that they are gent
men. It's q great scheme of Bill
and perhaps the best suggested.
