tagged with a lame spine, to-

Of the cement creepers who follow
the trail between Jim Jeffries' corn
counter and Greenewald's stogie
store have been heard to express
the opinion that Wolgast played
the "possum" act with Richie.
It was pointed out that Wolgast
always bets heavily upon himself to
win when signed up for an impor-
tant contest Also it is recalled
that Ad named Rivers as the one
man made to order for me and
added Il hope they don't erimp the

llT WONDER if am never going

KIT WONDER II am never going
" 10 win ball game was the
plaintive query of Walter
Miller when he began to warm up
for Yesterdays battle. The aver
age man who saw the game will
say that his query was answered in
the negative. But If you look in
the big records of the league YOU
will find that the game goes to the
credit of Walter Miller, And this
In spite OF the fact that he was
clearly knocked out of the box
The Southern leagues method of
arriving at the decision of which
of two or more pitchers in game
is entitled to the credit for win
ming is as idiotic as the raving of
wild lunatic. If majority of the
league directors could think about
anything at league meetings except
how to have tickets printed and
whether or not to use registering
turnstiles, or if the league president
had an occasional spare minute
from his duties of running Little
Rock and most of Arkansas to
give to the league, this silly rule
would be changed. But they
don't" and he hasn't and there
you are. So Miller, and not Des-
sau. gets credit for Yesterdays
game, which the Crackers won,
to 3.
Miller is the Crackers puzzle.
He has pitched just one good
game this season that he won. He
has pitched a few that the team
drizzled away behind him. And
he has pitched few bad ones.
Yesterday he pitched bad one
and won (which means, maybe,
that he is experiencing a change.
popular pitcher and last year could
win games when all the rest of
them were losing.
A RATHER weird feature Of the
game was the fact that the first
two runs scored land they came
within three innings) were made
on home runs. Charley Hemphill
paid his compliments to Dutch
Berger first. With two gone in the
first inning, he ripped one to the
right-hand side OF the scoreboard.
1t wasn't a tremendously long hit
and he certainly earned the tally.
The ball was fielded In to Starr,
who made a great throw to the
plate, and nothing but Hemphill's
speed made 1t possible to get home
ahead of the ball
Bailey's hit, which came with no.
body gone in the third inning. was
tremendously long. The Cracker
speedster was rounding third base
when the ball began its return trip.
So long was Bailey's hit that it
suggested new rule. In case of a
long hit inside the Enclosure, why
not let the runner keep right on
going and make FIVE bases If he
can? Let 1t score run when the
batter reaches home and then let
him get to first IL he is fast
enough.
This idea OF baseball Marathon
isn't patented, and it's all right
with US if they include 1t in the
rules.
Drank DESSAU got away mighty
we'll when he was sent in to
relieve Miller. To the careful OBJ
server it didn't appear that Dessau
had anything when he started to
pitch And certainly he didn't put
anything on the ball but little
shove-until he got in pinch.

TESTED AND PROVEN
There Is a Heap Of Solace in Being
Able to Depend Upon a Well

For months Brookings readers have
seen the constant expressions Of
praise for Doan's Kidney Pills, and
read about the good work they have
done in this locality. What other
remedy aver produced such ~convinc-
ing proof of merit?
Thomas Martinson, Second St,
B%rookings. S. D., says: Since public
ly endorsing Doan's Kidney Pills some
years ago, | have had no further trou-
BILE from my kidneys. For more than
a year l suffered intensely from back
ache, due to weak kidneys. At night
my rest was badly broken and l had
a distressing Fidney weakness. Doan's
Kidney Pills gave me almost immedi-
ate relief and l took them until my

A NEW RIFLE

Military authorities and big game
hunters are much interested in a new
rifle sighting system that is designed
to eliminate the necessity for estimat-
ing distances and adjusting sights in
%long-range shooting.
OF the Remington negative angle
system, as the invention is called,
Sir George Greenhill, a noted English
ballistical expert. said in a recent
lecture: "The new system proves
that since the origin of firearms our
method Of sighting in active service
rifle firing has been wrong. The in
vention is likely to bring about a revo-
luton in the art Of shooting"
In brief, the system utilizes the
we'll known fact that the apparent
size OF an object decreases as the
distance increases. The user of the
negative angle sight Is instructed to
sight at a point the height Of the
object under it. If the arm ere the
army rife and the target a man, the
point of aiming would be about 8 feet
6 inches below the mans feet. With
the regulation ammunition, as furnish.
ed for the army rife. the negative
angle system will insure hits on the
man target at all ranges from 100 to
S25 yards. which Is an increase Of
about 800 yards over the range Of the
present battle sight.
At FIRST it would appear that some

follows:
Under President Harrison, seven
