discredit to the catcher. 80 per cent
to the pitcher and 10 per cent each
to the shortstop and second base
man.
ANOTHER important detail of the
catcher's work is to prevent
passed balls. 1t is likely that, even
with the most careful scoring, the
catcher is charged with a lot of
passed balls that ought to go
against the hurler as wild pitches.
At that. though, real passed balls
are all too frequent

IS tnat they seem almost always to
come at critical times How many

T OS ANGELES, July 2.-The

probably be made memorable
as the date on which the greatest
lightweight flstic battle of modern
times took place. Not for years
has there been ring engagement
which promised such a test of

Wolgast. one of the grandest
champions of his day, is pitted
against the most dangerous 133-

has produced in years. These two
boys represent mentally and physi-

Speed, cleverness and brains are
to be matched in a scheduled TWEEN

With plenty Of pitchers It is in

THE ability TO steal bases Is one
of the strongest offensive Of

OF course everybody knows that
stolen bases are not always the

FROM THE EDITOR.
He Forgot That He Had a Stomach

Talking Of food. there Is probably
no professional man subjected to
greater. more wearing mental strain
than the responsible editor of q
modern newspaper.
To keep his mental faculties con-
stantly In good working order. tho
editor must keep his physical powers
up to the highest rate Of efficiency.
Nothing will so quickly upset the
whole system as badly selected food
and disordered stomach. It there
fore follows that he should have
right food, which can be readily as
simulated. and which furnishes true
brain nourishment.
MY personal experience In the use
Of Grape-Nuts and Postum" writes
Philadelphia editor. $50 exactly
agrees with your advertised claim as
to their merits that acy further ex-
position in that direction, would seem
to be superfluous. They have bene-
fitted me so much. however. during
the five years that have used them
that I do not feel justified in with.
.colding my testimony.
9I"General high living with all
that the expression implies as to a
generous table. brought about indi-
gestion. in my case, with restless
ness at night and lassitude In tho
morning. accompanied by various
pains and distressing sensations
during working hours.
"The doctor diagnosed the condi-
tion as 'catarrh of the stomach and
prescribed various medicines, which
did me no good. finally threw
physics to the dogs gave up tea
and coffee and heavy meat dishes,
and adopted Grape-Nuts and Postum
as the chief articles Of my diet.
II can conscientlously say, and I
wish to say 1t with all the emphasis
possible to the English language,
that they have benefited me as med
icines never did, and more than any
other food that ever came on my
table.
my experience is that the Grape
Nuts food has steadied and strength
ened both brain and nerves to most
positive degree. How 1t does It I
cannot say. but know that after
breakfasting on Grape-Nuts food one
actually forgets he has stomach,
let alone stomach trouble It Is. In
my opinion. the most beneficial az
well as the most economical food on
the market. and has absolutely no
