Probably no man has kept SO we'll
nosted on football East and West In
the coaching line as Shevlin. the for
mer Yale captain and end, who spends
part Of his time each year in the mid
die West and part OF his time in the
East, thus seeing the development Of
both sides of football and being also
| one of the best strategists in the sport
today.
And the mention Of Shevlin brings
up to mind two other great captains
! whom, the former, by earnest and
painstaking work, and the latter by
individual brilliancy and leadership,
raised the standard Of football at their
universities. These two men were Ar

There were men. however. who pre-

why they are not included was on ac-
count Of that fact. Since the publication
Of that book there have been other star
players quite as worthy of considera-

Looking back over the history Of the
sport, II seems that there are men who
made their mark in particular branches
Of the game, as. for instance, a man

Hal Chase to Be
Yankees Field Captain

NEW YORK, Jan. s.-"Childe Harold"
Chase. the Highlanders' great first base
man and last manager Of the team. will
be appointed field captain OF the Yanks
next spring by Manager Harry Wolver-
ton. The new leader thinks that Chase's
energy will be valuable to the team as
a rallying point in tight games. Furth-
ermore, the great frstsacker Is per-
haps the most popular baseball player
in the metropolis since the days Of
Mike Donlin and this appointment Is
certain to meet with the applause of the
fans.
Chase is now in this city and will be
prepared to go South as soon as the call
is issued. He Is resting after the stren-
uous season OF 1911 and says that he
hopes to better his playing figures next
summer, II his health holds out. He
expects to hit above 800 in 1912 and,
II he succeeds IN this feat. the Yankees
will find him one of the most valuable
stickers on the team.

PEAS TO THRIVE IN
SPITE OF A DROUTH

NEW YORK, July S.-Jacob Popkins
Of Pleasantville. N. J., says he has DEM
onstrated to his own satisfaction that
electricity stimulates plant life. He
applied the test few days ago to a
row Of peas in his garden. The results
have been extraordinary. The indica-
tions are that under the influence of the
electric current the vegetables will be
ready for the table as early as usual,
Notwithstanding the tardy spring and
the red-hot dry spell.
Popkns is an amateur electrician. one
day he looked over the peas, above
which he had stretched two lines of
iron wire to furnish them a hold when
their stalks reached high enough.
II occurred to him that there was a
chance for test So he rugged dry
battery and when the stalks began to
lean against the lower wire he connect
ed it. Within a few days the plants
showed unusual vigor and began to
grow rapidly.

Nothing uncertain about the work, of Doan's Kidney Pills ] in Norwich. There is plenty of positive proof of this in the testimony of citizens Such evidence should convince the. most skeptical doubter. Read the following statement: 4...8
 Mrs. Mary Neff. 4s5 Main Street, Norwich, Conn. says, For many years a member of my family was subject to attacks of kidney complaint. He suffered from pains across the loins and at times could scarcely get about oh account of his back being so stiff and lame The kidney sectetions were irregular in passing and often con tained sediment. Doans Kidney Pills, procured at N. D. Sevin & Sons Drug Store. proved of benefit from the first and soon every symptom of kidney complaint disappeared.p
 The above statement was given August 27, 1908, and several years later Mrs. Neff said: T willingly con- firm all said In praise of Doan Kidney Pills in the testimonial given for publication in 1908 Nothing has occurred to change my high opinion of Deans Kidney Pills.'
