to believe that any Of them excel the
celebrated RUDE Waddell when the lat
ter allowed himself to be led around
by the nose by Connie Mack. For the
Athletics Waddell pitched peerless
baseball for several seasons. A dis
turber and a rule breaker under other
managers, the RUDE was as meek as
lamb under Mack, and without
word Of complaint he did an enormous
amount of work. Though painfully &c
centric Waddell showed headwork and
skill. He held the leagues strikeout
record for a single season until it was
topped by Walter Johnson of the
Washingtons. His control was espe-
cially good and he had the number
of practically every batsman who
faced him.

fans will probably have new batting
records to discuss. Judging nom the
way the batters In both the American
and National Leagues are hitting the
ball this year new records are surely
to be made. During the present sea-

ira base drives have been made.

The National League clubs have I'm

that he will be able to surpass this

Rucker in physical makeup and IS not

fectiveness because OF constant work

tive 1eft-hander in the National League
is Mattern of the Bostons, whose serv-
ices may be secured by the Grants
some fine day and then he will have
an opportunity to show his true worth.
In the American League good LETT
handlers are even more scarce than in
the Lynch circuit. The most Fensa-
tional winner this year is Vean Gregg
OF the Clevelands. He was secured in
California last winter and arrived in
the Forest City an unknown quantity.
But once he received a fair chance
to display his wares Gregg made good
with a vengeance. He is the mainstay
of the Clevelands, and to his phsnoIne-
nal pitching the teams rapid climb is
due. Gregg Is only a youngster. but
he pitches like a veteran ana has a
brilliant future.
Connie Mack has three left handlers,
Plank Kranse and Russell. The first
named made a name for himself sew

reached the end of the rope by any
means and has pitched some great
games this year but he is getting

has also discovered that the old

every blemish from her complexion
and thereafter keep her skin fresh
and young and blooming. The mis-.

home remedy is to attack the dead

causing all sorts of beauty ills
like sallowness, pimples. liver
