Moore Has Gone to st. Joseph on
Ball Business.

Barney McGrath. the young right
handler, who is expected to do some
classy pitching for the Topeka club
this summer. dropped into town last
evening for a seance with the man
egement While he is all right other
wise. Barney couldn't resist the be-
lief that the locals have most of the
money in the world.
McGrath did top line work with Lin
coin during the past season and being
young can, be considered on his way
up. The $1,000 paid. for. him Is re-
garded as an excellent investment
His home is at Carbonate, which,
though it is used as a stock synonym
by cheap comedy comp1nles 1or no
where to go to or come from, IS near
Topeka and that is one good reason ne
gives for wanting to play with the To-
cal aggregation.
During the winter season Mac mas

ter of his country town feed slallon
and seems to be in fine condition. He
can hit the plate every throw ana
never miss an order from the bench.
He also fingers the cash register pc

stunt as an arm waiter, he had long
siege with the Usage county tax roll
adjustment. His brother is county
clerk over at Lyndon anu PdIhOy was
called in for tossing new figures onlo
the sheets.
By. way of accounting for his sue,
cess on the diamond, McGrath related
to Manager Moore with good deal or
satisfaction a story about state-Wlde
league of his own, however lax in It's
ethics and organization it may nave
been. Before he became truly pro-
flesh he says he would sit in his room
at Carbonate and map out circuit
through the state for himself and
brother as travelling battery for semi
professional town teams. When they
had swung around the circuit in the
course of a week or two another sched-
ule would be made out and some more
ability turned into cash. A very good
salary was maintained by these meth
DDS. He refused to sign the contract
before he went home.
Manager Moore and President

pectantly for the schedule meeting or
the Western league in st. Joseph.
Woodward has just received notice
from the league president. n. l.

Majors Expect to Make Exhibitions
Pay 1t. ------

New York, Jan. PA baseball sta
tistician here has just figured that. the
spring training of all the major league
teams this year will cost about $780,
900. The clubs hope to gather in
enough money from exhibition gam es
to pay : art of these expenses. The
players draw no salary until April Is,
but advance money can be drawn by
those who respond to the early call.
This privilege is generally used pref
ty freely, for 1t is usually the case that
ball players have empty pockets after
the long winter layof.
1t is figured that nearly five hun
dred players will begin practice at the
major league camps this year. Of this
number, at least 100 will have to be
dropped when the proper time limit
arrives. The remainder will draw
about $1,000,00O in salaries, averaging
$4,000 to a man. A club that man
ages to get through the season with
less than $1O0, 900 expenses will be re-
garded as a curiosity. This includes
salaries, railroad fares hotel bills,
rent, taxes and assessm ents, also an
outlay for new talent

COLORADO TO PLAY FRESHMEN
They Raise the Ban January 81
Stronger Teams.

Boulder, Colo, Jan. 25.-With the
end of the period of the college year,
January 81, comes the raising Of the
ban which prevents first-year men at
the University of Colorado from COM
peting for places on the various var
sity teams and which, bv its operation
this year, has probably kept more good
men out of varsity football than ever
before. The freshmen class this year
is filled with youngsters in every de-
partment of athletics and their eligi-
bility will greatly increase the num-
Der Of candidates for baslS etball, track
and baseball, thereby giving the
coaches a larger number of men to
pick from and a consequent increased
probability of turning out winning
teams. epg
The basketball team probably will
be the first to be benefited, for, al
though the season is we'll under way,
there are a number of excellent men
out for the freshmen team who will
make some of the varsity hustle after
February 1. Coach Castleman is not
very well pleased with the manner
some of the regulars performed in the
game at Golden Friday and any clever
freshman will be given ample oppor-
tunity to demonstrate his ability. Bas-

WILL PITCH IN ROTATION.
Hal Chase Expects Better Results That
Way.

New York. Jan. 25.-"Rotation" is the
keynote of a new system of handling
the pitching staff which has been adopt
ed by the management of the New
York Americans for the coming sea-
son. Six pitchers, Ford, Quinn
Vaughn, Fisher, Caldwell, and War
hop, are relied on to carry the team
through the summer and they are to
be worked in turn with clock-like reg
ularity.
Manager Chase believes that Ford
success last year was wholly due TO
the fact that he did not pitch out OF
his regular turn. He positively refus-
ed to go into the box unless he was
absolutely fit and ready, with the re-
suit that he was always at his best.
Under this method Of procedure Ford
knew exactly when he was expected to
pitch and consequently nerved himself
for the task
Chase maintains that if the other
pitchers are worked in a similar man
ner, they will prove vastly more eff
fective and in this belief he is sup
ported by many close students of the
game. 1t is argued that a pitcher can
not be expected to do himself justice
if he is suddenly called upon to enter
the box at a time when he is hardly
ready for a gruelling test.

GIANTS BETTER THAN CUBS.
So Says Muggsy McGraw, Boss of
Giants

has Chicago to beat us out? None; alb
solutely nonel A lot of nice fellows
and I don't want to use the hammer
on them, but, on the level, that COM
bination has busted up. Simply out
lived their usefulness and there you
are. don't want to make any indivi-
dual comparison of them with others
in the circuit, for all these fellows are
my pals
John McGraw, manager of the New
York Giants baseball team, is cred
tied with having made this assertion in
recent interview. Before submitting
that for the benefit of the Gotham fans
he said:
''I am not making any rash predic-
tons about what the Giants are going
to do next year.

SKIN DISEASES
HUM0Rs IN THE BLOOD

Nature has made ample provision
in the moisture and sunshine of the
air for the outward protection and
healthy condition of the skin. But
the more important work of nourish-
ing the cuticle has been left to an in
ward source-the blood. 1t is from
the circulation that the pores and
glands receive their stimulus, and
the fbrous tissues are all preserved
In a hea1thfu1 state because of con-
slant nutriment supplied by theblood.
It is only when the circulation be-
comes infected with hunlors or acids
that we are troubled with skin affec-
tons. The hutnors producing these
troubles are carried through the cir
culation direct to the skin, and their
irritating or inhammatory effect re-
mains until the blood is c1eansed.
