Manager Chance Picks Tesreau
To Be Hero Of Worlds Series

ed on the losing side were every
bit as conscious of 1t.
Last year it was Baker. The slug
ger of the Athletics emerged $
the great big man of the series.
1t was Bakers bat which decided
the pitching duels.
Unless the unexpected happens
some one man will stand out above
all the others in this coming series.
l pick Tesreau for the reason that
he has pitched some remarkable
ball against us this season and I
think I know what great young
twirler he is.
Should he start the series, and
would send him to the mound if
he belonged to the Cubs and we
were in the series, the first game
will count more than usual
The one thing that can be count
ed against Tesreau is his inexpe-
rience. 1t doesn't make great
deal of difference what tempera-
ment ball player possesses, he
is bound TO become trife nervous
when playing such short series
for such high stakes.
It's the ambition of every ambi-
tious ball player to become men,
Der of worlds championship team.
He wants to be able to say that
he played with team which won
the highest honors of the diamond
and that he assisted in winning
them. That's natural. That thought
is with one night and day.
First Battle Counts Much.
There is the chance that les
reau will suffer in the first game Of
the worlds series as the ordinary
youngster on the day that he
pitches his first major league game.
But if Tesreau is cool and calm
and gets away with a win | think
the fellows from Boston will have
their work cut out for them

Manager OF Chicago Cubs,

NJ GRAW'S men should win

Jeff Tesreau. the husky
young pitcher, should be the big
man of the series, and | do not
mean only in a physical sense,
either. But l figure Larry Doyle is
likely to develop into one of the
big stars. 1t is upon Tesreau, how
ever, that l base my belief, and it
will amount to a certainty If he
gets away with the first game.
Worlds series present some
strange baseball spectacles. 1t is
history that almost every one is
won by the individual feats of some
man. For that reason l place so
much dependence in Tesreau.

prep school records, who were
herded along with the general run
of freshmen and were running sig
mails with the third or fourth team.
If these men had turned up at Tech
or at Mercer, they would have been
welcomed with a brass band and
given a place on the varsity. AT
Vanderbilt they get another year
of scrub team seasoning, maybe
two, before they are placed on the
varsity. Then they know football.
II is unlikely that any Southern
team ever knows as much football
as the Commodores.
Ii was this very knowledge of
football that enabled the Commo-
dores to tie with Yale last year
Said a man who saw the game:
1T was amusing to see the way
the Yale men were sucked in
When Yale had the ball the quar-
terback would observe a nice gap
in Vanderbilt's line. Here's where

then. just as the play got to the
line it was sat down upon by about
ten men at once. 1t wasn't until
the game was nearly over that the
Yale men realized they were being
played for suckers by what they
considered a raw country team"
Ii is likely that Vanderbilt will
have the advantage in age. II isn't
improbable that Georgia will have
the advantage in weight In the
matter of speed none can tell, to a
certainty
extensively the two teams are
mavelously brilliant. McWhorter,

ITCHING ECZEMA ON HANDS

eczema began on the second joint
of my thumb on my left hand. Sew
eral blisters came which soon broke
and water oozed from them. Then
the terrible itching began, and the &c
zema came in blotches on both hands.
Sometimes the skin would seem to
break, and gave the appearance OF
being cut, and blood came out of them.
It was very bad when consulted a
physician. I was treated for several
months, but grew worse all the time.
"Then it came in my face. l suf-
fered more than I could describe from
the itching and burning. I became
nearly a wreck physically. Then l
consulted another physician and was
treated by him for some time when
he finally advised the Cuticura Rem
edies. I began improving after the
first treatment and was cured after
taking the Resolvent and using the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment. That
was fifteen years ago, and have
never been troubled with it since.
ct owe my cure to the Cuticura
Remedies and would be thankful to
impart any help to others. have just
advised a lady friend who is suffering
with eczema on her face and neck, to
try the Cuticura Remedies. She has
been treated by physician for some
time without relief" (Signed) Mrs.

MENACE In SPLITTING EVIL
Allegation Is Made That the Habit Is
Responsible for e5 Per Cent.
of Consumption Cases.

"NInety-f1ve per cent. Of our con-
sumption" says the North Carolina
state board of health, comes from
careless splitting, coughing and sneez-
Ing" particularly on the part OF the
consumptiye, but also from people
who are apparently healthy. Spit Is
frequently laden with deadly disease
germs, particularly that of consump-
tives.
when one coughs, splits or sneezes,
great multitude of tiny drops OF
spittle are violently expelled from the
mouth and nose. The largest OF these
drops can be readily seen. A large
number of smaller droplets can be
found If a mirror or piece of glass Is
held before the face when coughing
or sneezing. A tremendous quantity
of still smaller droplets are dis
charged in the form of an Invisible
spray or mist, which floats about in
the air for some time. Scientists
have found that when man coughs,
spits or sneezes In a large hall or
room where the air Is quiet, these
tiny, invisible germ-laden droplets
will float in the air for distance OF
Is to 100 feet. These tiny droplets'
in the form of mist or spray, may be
breathed in by other people, or they
may settle on objects with which
they come into intimate contact, sucn
as food and clothing. Viewed in this
light, such conduct is at least i'm
polite. Furthermore, it Is dangerous
to the public at large to have careless
people actually coughing, sneezing and
splitting germ-laden matter into their
faces, even If it is invisible and IN
the form of fine mist"

Wanted to Know the Culprit.

The following story was told recent
ly by Austin Haines to party OF
friends he entertained at luncheon:
Down in a little Florida town two
negro families live in shanties about
q stones throw apart. They obtain
their drinking water from a shallow
open we'll located midway between the
two houses. A fence which separates
the two yards is built up to the well
on both sides. Every evening after
her days work it done, it Is the Gus
tom of one of the negro mammies to
pick up buckets and go to the well for
water. One day the owner of the
property moved the fence back about
ten feet from where it originally stood.
That evening when Eliza started out
with her pail she fixed her eye on the
fence and made straight for it. Walk
ing hurriedly along the beaten path,
she plunged into the shallow we'll with
a splash Her screams brought i'm
mediate assistance, and as she Climb
ed out and spied the fence ten feet
away she Indignantly exclaimed:
"'Now, who done moved dat well?' !"

VALUE OF LAUREL WREATH
Trophy Has Always Been Much Priced
by Victors in the Arena and
q In Battle,

Time was when a laurel wreath
meant to the winner of an event more
than a diamond-studded belt and
100000 purse, and the classics give
us no hint of any flakes" in those
days, says the New York Telegram.
1t is curious what an important part
Iaurels have played in the develop
ment of man, and to win ones
laurels" is phrase in common use, as
signifying the attainment of honors of
one sort or another.
Gerard tells us that the laurel as
well respected for the beauty of its
leaves and their continual greenness,"
and these leaves are remarkable for
the fragrant though dangerous odor
they give forth. Indeed, the leaves
were at one time much used in cook
cry to impart the flavor of almond, for
both contain the acid which goes to
form prussic poison But so danger
Gus is the shrub in this respect that
its use has almost disappeared from
modern cookery, though the sweet bay
which is another form Of laurel-is
much used up to the present time, as
1t Is harmless unless taken in large
quantities.
This form, the bay, it was that
probably became the pride of the
victors in the Pythian games held in
honor of Apollo in ancient Greece.
For it was by means of the purifica-
ton the god obtained in the sacred
groves of Tempe, from the blood of
the python, that he was enabled to
purify others, and the laurel held
close connection with Apollo in an
cient Greece, the legend Of the beauti-
full woman who was changed into
laurel being the origin of the modern
name Daphne, which has been be-
slowed upon the two native species OF
laurel in this country.
It was only the winners of the con-
tests in the Pythian games who were
crowned with the laurel, the Olympian
winners receiving crowns of olive
leaves, and the Nemean and Ismian
winners receiving crowns of pine" and
parsley respectively, but the use Of
the laurel afterward spread into
Rome where the victors in war were
crowned with laurel, and the leaves
were much used in the triumphal
entry into Rome of the conqueror
after a battle.

former days, before the state required
so much of the natives time to gather
