by some TO raise the entire fund for
the high school at once and have it
done with, while others have suggested
other plans, and as a compromise the
board endeavored to levy a building
tax Of $4,000, together with a $4,000
levy for educational expense purposes.
The $4,000 levy has since been found
to be illegal and has been dropped.

st. Louis-The season Of 1912
brought little glory for the St. Louis
Browns. They won seventh place by
the skin of their teeth. However, there
vas one young man on the team,
George Baumgartner by name, whose
good work attracted the attention of
baseball critics throughout the coun-
try. Baum did not create a furore by
winning many games In a row, but
he showed that he had the markings of
rafting good pitcher
One of his friendly critics is Herman
Wecke, who thus sums up Baum's
work in the st. Louis Times:
Working for a club that finished
III seventh place, and that by none
too great a margin, Baum won IL and
lost 13 games, which is a fair record
when it is taken into consideration
that his club won only SO and lost 101
contests. Georges percentage of vic
tories for the season was .45S, While
that of the Browns was .346 He
eciipsed the mark of his team by ia
points.
''Baumgartner first drew the eye of
Bobby Wallace, who was manager of
the team when George joined on the
spring training trip, when he slammed
eight straight strikes over the plate
while the Brownie manager looked on.
That was enough for Wallace and also
fer Baumgartner. 1t kept him with
the Browns all season and at the lat
ter part of the season he was going
great guns.
I'm the spring series Baum was sent
in to relieve a mate, and he whitfield
I'd Honey four times, forcing the Car
dinal first-sacker TO strike at them all.
Then in his first game in the Ameri
Can league he beat the renowned Ed
Walsh, which is some achievement.
His next start was a memorable to 0
thinning draw with Jimmy Scott. This
game put Scott on the hummer, and ne
did not pitch any good ball after it.
During the latter part of the sea-
son Baum pitched like a real hurler.
He Is hurting fairly well for one oper-
ating with a seventh-position club. But
then the club was going good under
George Stovall at that time. The black
mark came at the hands of the White
Sox, because Ed Walsh got revenge
or Baum for beating him earlier in
the season by banking the Browns.
with one year of experience in the
majors Baumgartner should be one of
the Brownie mainstays on the firing
line in 1913. His experience is sure to
help and If he is not a wonder in the
majors next season many able author
tiles will lose their guess.
He worked in 213 innings for the
Browns and gave 204 bingles, less than
one per game. Baum came heralded
as a great strike-out artist, but did
rot live up to this, tanning only SO,
while 20 were given bases on balls.
In the 213 innings he worked just 81
runs were scored off him, which shows
that he pitched good ball, even though
he lost more than he won."

Gloom pervades the camp of the
Rock Island Independents who are to
battle Sunday for the championship
OF the state with the strong Spring
Valley team. Ernest MacManus, the
sensational quarterback of the locals
may possibly be out Of the game. and
to say that he will be missed goes
without question. The only hope is
that Coach Lift will come to the res.

MacManus does not play. Lifts ex-
perience and generalship will make
up, II is thought for MacManus' abil-
ity at running with the ball. Last
Sunday, MacManus injured a tendon
In his ankle. A physician has at
tended to II and 1t is healing nicely.
but whether or not he will be able to
run by Sunday, is another question.
HAVING sCRIMMAGE PRACTICE.
Coach Lift gave the players a light
signal drill last night, to work the
kinks out of them, but from now on
until the end of the week, scrimmaea
practice will be in order. No pains
VIII be spared to have the team on
edge for the big Sunday game. With
the exception OF Loyal Robb. half
back, all the men are physically fit
now. Robb has a bad shoulder, but
Is expected 10 be in trim by Sundty.
An addition to the squad is Kuehl. the

dents and the Moline Olympics

and place may be found for him in

Followers OF the Independents are
1ubilant over the teams record and
are planning to do their share of win

il is possible that a "rube band" such
as the high school has turned out in

Assist the Stomach.

Assist the Stomach.
People who complain they are worn
to a fragile are nearly always dyspep-
tic and are recommended to use Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets. The stom-
ach gets lazy, food ferments and sours,
gas belches up, there are symptoms Of
bloating, the blood becomes thick and
sluggish, the liver is blamed, the head
is heavy, the mind a blank and the
dining room is chamber of horrors.
One of the greatest evils of our
modern. life is the quick lunch. To
this evil, as much or more, than any
other, may be traced the preponder-
ance of the stomach troubles of our
times. Instead of taking time to thor
ouGhly masticate the food before swal-
lowing it, the average person rushes
through the meal, boiling the food,
deglutition taking place while 1t is
only partially mixed with saliva, and
only half masticated, thus leaving the
stomach to do the work the teeth
should have done.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain
digestive elements, a single grain be-
ing capable of digesting 5000 grains
of food including meats, eggs, grain,
vegetables, starches and mineral mat
tors. They prepare every particle Of
food by thorough digestion for ready
absorption and assimilation by the lac
teal glands, which pass it into the
blood, whence it is conducted to all
parts of the system, rebuilding and
revitalizing it.
