Battling Streak.
BY HUGH s FULLERTON

Baseball Is the great American game
Which statement is bromidlan enough
Tor anyone ] used 10 think that ever,
one knew the basic rules and princi
pies OF the game-but no longer. I've
been reading baseball fiction. The two
exceptions to universal knowledge OF
baseball are magazine editors and mag.
azine writers. 10 Judge from some OF
the stories printed in the last year.
The most exciting yarn OF all. print
cd seriously by one OF the second class
list class magazines had a wonderful
climax. The score was 3 10 3 I'm the
last half Of the ninth inning The
bases were filled and the hero was at
bat with two out. Now what do you
suppose he did? The writer had him
hit home run, and ended up the game
with the score of TO 3. and the hero
being carried around by a wildly ex-
cited crowd OF admirers
Immediately after reading another
story released the hero unconcition
ally. 1t is rather odd. but the hero al
ways comes to bat In the ninth inning.
and I've never known him either TO
strike out or hit a fly Indeed. in
seven baseball stories have analysed
within the last week the hero has bat

drafted him. But this hero was a

hit the fence and was unconscious.
Now. what do you suppose that runner
on third did? Why. he calmly stuck
around third base until the center field
er recovered consciousness and re
fused to score until the hero made a
base knock" That's what the
writer called it,
The third hero was a pitcher and a
wonder. In the ninth inning his team
was in lots OF trouble. The opposing
team had the bases full with one out.
and his rival was at bat With three
balls and no strikes. The hero pitch
Ell him three sweeping outcurves so
far from the plate he missed them, and
struck him out" Good waiter that

the sayings OF the manager when the
rival took his swings at those balls

DISFIGURED WITH ECZEMA

sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much!
The sores began as pimples, his lit
tie face was d~isfigured very much.
We hardly knew what he looked like.
The face looked like raw meat. We
tied little bags of cloth I'VE his
hands to prevent him from scratching.
He was very restless at night, his
little face itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine Of the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and at
once bought the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the re-
suit, and after four weeks the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has q
