HOW JOHN King GOT START
Catcher Of Chicago Cubs Says II Was
Partly His Own Fault and
Partly Bad Luck.
BY JOHN Killing.

Copyright, 1910, by Joseph B. BoWies:e
4 How did I get my start? Well, II
the young fellows who want to be-
come professional players have as
much trouble getting started as ] did
the crop will be short. think 1T was
partly my own fault and partly bad
luck that I had so much trouble, and
the greater part of my fault was that
neither knew my position nor knew
the game well enough. Perhaps I had
been spoiled by too much success as
semi-profesional player before l tried
to get into professional baseball. Also
had learned wrong in many things
and wanted to play my way instead
Of playing the way the managers and
the experienced players did. It took
me long time to discover that per-
haps they knew more about 1t in the
organized leagues than We did in the
amateur ranks.
I don't remember the time did not
play ball. I began about the time |
went to work that baseball helped
me lot. got a job, and was ad-
vanced faster and given better
chances than the fellows who did not
play, so I realized baseball was Valu-
able as side line.
After a time my friends began tell
ing me was too good for the semi
pro game and advised me to go out
as a pitcher was scared sick, being
very young, but got a job at Rock
ford, ILL.,, and they fired me before |
had my shoes broken in. That sent
me back to the semi-pro field. We
happened to need a catcher, and being
the captain I made myself catcher,
because we needed one, not because
/ was good.
It wasn't long until they told me |
was too good catcher to stay around
Kansas City. took their word for 1t
and went to the Texas league. The
only reason / quit there was because
the team refused to pay me. re-
turned to the Schmeltzers again, and
after time signed with st. Joseph as
a catcher. I had learned lot, and
the biggest thing had learned was to
keep cool and never lose my temper.
I believe a catcher who can keep cool
can outthink anyone who let's either
temper or excitement get away with
him. The catcher need not be brain
Ter, but If he keeps thinking all the
time he will out-think the fellow who
loses his head part of the time.

1t will thus be seen that the spirit

while the direct cause Of the uprising

revolt was that Of woman who In

MIGRANTS MUST BREAK ROCK
Railroad Will Put Tramps Who Don't

Recently, at all division points and

the Union Pacific hauled in carloads
of stone. 1t was reported that this
was for track and yard Improvement,
but, in fact. the stone piles are for
the purpose of supplying places to
work for men who steal rides on
brake rods and on the blind baggage.

and, in the future, when man is

A --
The People Do Mot Drink Enough
Water to Keep Healthy,
Says Well-know1
Authority.

n Il Z !
The numerous cases OF kidney and
bladder diseases and rheumatism are
mainly due to the fact that the drink
ing Of water, natures greatest n1edi-
cine, has been neglected.
Stop loading your system with med
icines and cure-al1s; but get on the
water wagon. II you are really sick,
why, of course, take the proper medi-
cines- plain, common vegetable treat
ment, which win not SKATER the
nerves or ruin the stomach !,
To cure Rheumatism you must make
the kidneys do their work; they are
the filters of the blood. They must
be made to strain out Of the blood the
waste matter and acids that cause
rheumatism; the urine must be neu-
traIized so it will no longer be a
source Of irritation to the bladder, and,
most Of all, you must keep these acids
from forming in the stomach. This
is the cause Of stomach trouble and
poor digestion. For these conditions
you can do no better than take the
following prescription: Fluid Extract
Dandelfon, one-haH ounce; Compound
Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup
sarsaparslla, three ounces. Mix by
shaking well in bottle and take in
teaspoonful doses after each meal and
at bedtime, but don't forget the
water. Drink plenty and often.
