offers for several weeks engagement
gn a vaudeville circuit at a salary of

IL. ..~gf,~,. h.llozou that Ernrkfnp in
sured his batting eye last year and he
has cut out the use Of the weed, since
the advent OF 1911. Gessler relieves
that nicotine will In time dim the eye
sight OF anybody. but he believes that
the occasional use Is all right.
Cessler was an inveterate smoker AMI
realized that there was nothing to do
but cut out smoking altogether In his
case. This advice Is given for the
benefit of local youngsters who have
futures before them In the National
game. Smoking will not only injure
the eyesight, but 1t Will impair the
vim Of an athlete and curtail his
career. To be successful in any line 1t
fs necessary to work hard and make
some sacrifices, especially IN baseball.
