Since the old-fashioned theory Of cur
ing eczema through the blood has been
given up by scientists, many different
salves have been tried for skin diseases.
But it has been found that these salvos
only clog the pores and cannot penetra e
to the inner skin below the ePiderm:s
where the eczema germs are lodged.
Thistle quality of penetrating
probably explains the tremendous SUE

When Boss Comfskey heard Ed Walsh's arm would soon be all right, he remarked: That settles the pen nant race for next year. They might as well award us the 1914 pennant without playing for it with Big Ed added to the great pitching staff we now have. Now that he can stop wor- ry1ng rest will do Walsh good, and he shall have the rest. If he wants to he can go back to Mercer, where there is chance to worry about anything except the fish you have at the other end of the line. It does not look as if we needed him the rest of this season, and by next spring he will be good as ever, with all his old confidence restored.''

"You can talk about base runners, but there is only one real king of the paths in my opinion" said Eddie Col ltns. There are a number of good fast men who can steal sacks, sbut this fellow Cobb is the boy who carries my money. He knows more about running the bases than all the rest put together and he causes more wor- ry and trouble once he gets to first base than anybody else whom I ever have seen"

A precedent will be establish eF when Cincinnati plays in New York next Monday, provided Bill Brennan is unpiring behind the bat. In the last game there between these teams Heinie Groh started in from third. The ball was played to the plate, and Groh slid. Chief Meyers was about to tag him when he dropped the ball. Brennan declared Groh out, but said after the game that Groh had not touched the plate and he could not be declared safe. New York won the game, 4 to 1. Groh6 6intends to touch the plate if Brennan is umpiring there. Then Heinie will prepare a statement for President Lynch, stating the facts and ask that he be credited with the run.
 When a willing horse' like Ed. Walsh is among the disabled the fans the country over are sympathetic and will rejoice if the '+bone-setter'' does the trick that will bring the big fellow back to his job on the mound.
