'If cigarets will stain a smokers

mands, when arguing. "The skin of
the hands and fingers is tougher
than on any other part of the body,
yet you can pick the inveterate
smoker almost at glance by his
stained fingers Imagine then, the
appearance of the sensitive internal
organs.
"Cigaret smoking is one of the

Some of the remarks that ball
players receive from the bleacher-
ties, as rule. are more in the ma
ture of a roast at some particular
individual, but there are occasions
when these sun gods. pull rich
one, at which even the athletes are
forced to smile.
Anyone who has ever seen Fred
Tenney, the Giants first baseman,
in action, knows that the former
collegian is mighty dangerous
man at the bat. Fred is one of
those hitters who contends that 1t
takes only one swing to hit and
consequently plays the string out
on the pitcher. The result is that
Tenney gets many free transport
alton to first on account of his wait
ing ability.
TENNEY NEVER WORRIES.

York last season Tenney happened
to be the man at bat at a time
when a run would tie the score.
There were runners on second and
third, with two out, and base hit

the Giants.
Everyone in the immense throng
was highly excited as Fred strobe
to the plate. The first ball pitched
was right over the heart of the pan

steam. "Harder!" came the cry;
and harder still the ball was hit.
When the crowd began to assemble,
the only thing to be seen was little
George Smith, darling here, there
and everywhere between second

that were being hit in his direction.
He played a wonderful game that
day, one of the most wonderful
games eyer seen on any diamond,
and after the last man had been re-
tired the fans fingered to show their
appreciation of a man who, while
following an idol, was not afraid to
do his level best.
