Johnson.
How many do YOU suppose will

Moran has already been passed
back. Long will be sent back, Most
of the rest of them will return.
The big noise is Welchonce. This
man is promising. The only thing
against him is the fact that he has
been up before and that he didn't
stick. II is harder to go back a sec
ond or a third time than it is to
tackle it the first time. Yet, now

success. Bob Spade did it, with

Seiger rushed out from his cor

minute they worked on each 9TH

though Whitney was going to floor
the visitor from Philadelphia, Joe
would open up and flay away with
both hands. But his swings We're
wild and Whitney always stepped
back far enough to avoid any trou
bic. And as soon as Seiger PLAYED
himself out Whitney would again
take up the work of dealing out
punishment.
Every round was the same. with
the possible exception of the final
one. Whitney fought harder than
ever in this spasm and had Seiger
weak at the final bell.

Seiger. Four of these were wild
lefts that landed on the body. The

q
have filled in at the short
stop positions for the Chi
cago White Sox. with ability
enough to warrant Manager Gala
han in holding the youngster per-
manently.
Ever since George Davis, the
popular ex-Giant manager, captain
and famous player, retired from
that important position with the
White Sox the Chicago Americans
have had great trouble in securing
the right man for the place.
Several promising players were
tried, but all were found wanting
through various causes until young
Weaver was recalled from the San
Francisco club in the fall of 1911
and given a thorough trial. He
demonstrated in the few games he
played toward the wind up of that
season that he was OF big league
caliber and had the stuff In him to
make good.
Callahan Saw His Worth.
When Jimmy Callahan took
charge of the White Sox in the
training camp in Waco, Texas, last
spring that wise old veteran and
great judge of ball players sized
the youngster up as being just the
player he needed, and by careful
and systematic coaching Weaver
developed so rapidly that he was
given the shortstop berth on the
regular team.
Callahan's judgment proved cor
rect, and the new recruit did his
share in pushing the White Sox to
the front in the early months of last
seasons race. 1t will be remem-
bered that it was the fact of the
White SoX pitchers cracking" I'M
der the strain of the fast early pace
set by the team that caused the
club to fall back and not on ac-
count of any failure on the part of
the other players to come up to the
mark.
Weaver played steady, con-
sistent game all through the sea-
son, whether the club was on a
winning streak or in a losing rut.
In fact his playing was on the SEN
sational order during most of the
season. His great work cinched
his job for him, as he is retained
for next year. and has most brill
liant future. according to all good
judges of baseball.
Struggled to Reach Top Glass.
Weaver had his troubles in get
ting into the big league class and
was shifted around from pillar TO
post more than is usual for young
players. before he proved himself
as worthy He started in as a pro-
fessional with the Pottstown (PaD
club in 1909. His work in his first
year out attracted the attention of
big league scouts.
The Cleveland club, of the Ameri-
can league, secured him. He did
not get much of a trial with the
Maps. or possibly was not quite
ripe for the big show and he was
released to the Saginaw (Mich.)
club, but again failed to make good
and was shipped back to Cleveland.
There was no opening with the
Maps, they being overloaded with
new players. and the Cleveland
club released the youngster out
right He then secured job with
the Northampton (Mass.) club, Of
the Connecticut league, where he
played "A couple of months, and
then went to the York (PaD club,
OF the Tri- State league.
Many young players would have
been discouraged by all those re-
verses, but not Buck Weaver He
had no such thing az quit in his
ueryy makeup. He was more de-
termincd than ever to reach the
goal OF his ambition big league

HEALTH FOR THE CHILD.

The careful mother, watching close
~ the physical pe%culiarities OF her
children, soon learns that health is in
. great measure dependent upon nor
NAL. healthy, regular bowel action.
When the bowels are inactive, loss of
appetite, restlessness during sleep, r.
ritability and a dozen and one similar
evidences OF physical disorder are soon
apparent
Keep the bowels free and clear and
good health Is assured. At the first
sign Of constipation give the child a
teaspoonful of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin at bedtime and repeat the
dose the following night, II necessary.
You will find the child will quickly re-
cover its accustomed good spirits, and
eat and sleep normally.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Is far
preferable to salts, cathartics and
purgative waters which are harsh in
their action. Syrup Pepsin acts on
the bowels easily and naturally, yet
positively, and causes no gripping or
discomfort. Its tonic properties build
up the stomach, liver and bowels, re-
storing their normal condition.
Druggists everywhere sell DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in soc and s1.0O
bottles. If you have never tried this
remedy, send for a sample to DR.. w.
B. Caldwell, POI Washington St., Mon
ticello, Ill. He will gladly send a
trial bottle without any expense to
you whatever.
