CLYDE MIL AN FAST
Senator Boss of Base StealerS
Clipped Often by Cleveland.
Runs Bases for Percentage of
,739 for Season.

Base runners, in the not far dis
| tent future, may be ranked on per-
centage basis, just as the work of the
.batsmen, fielders and pitchers is now
tabulated. 1t has been suggested that
a record be kept of the number of
times a man is caught trying to steal
and the total of unsuccessful attempts
be added to his stolen bases and then
divided into them. The result would,
it is thought, give correct line on a
mans base running ability.
Clyde Milan of the Senators was
boss of the American Leagues Raj
files brigade last year, purloining So
! bases. The speedy Washington star,
who was well up in the running for
the Chalmers American League tro-
ply, had an average of 81 steals per
game, according to the proposed way
of reckoning. but that record hardly
does him justice.
]. Clyde actually was a base run
ner of the .739 class, since he was
stopped by the backstops on only 81
occasions, when he started to steal.
The Cleveland catchers, strange to
say, tagged Milan the greatest num-
Der of times, mailing him in seven at
tempts to pilfer. A reasonable eX-
PLANTATION for their success in throw
ing him out so frequently is that he
was not bit backward about testing
their wings.
Milan was thrown out five times by
the New York backstops, four times
by the wind paddists of the St. Louis,
Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia
teams and thrice by the maskmen of
the Detroit club. The men who
thwarted Milan in his attempts to
steal last season are named below:

effusion or an accumulation of mucous.
Cough is a wholesome effort to pro-
test the lungs from intrusion, from
harmful materials. a cough should
not be regarded as a foe, but as a.
friend.
Pe-ru-na Removes the Cause OF
Cough.
Pe-ru-na is a cough medicine in the
strict sense of the word. 1t assists Ma
ture in getting rid of the accumulated
mucus in the bronchial tubes. 1t as
sists first by strengthening the nerves
that control the act of coughing. And,
second, by its eXpectorant effect the
mucus discharges are slightly thinned,
making them easier to expectorate. In
other words, Pe-ru-na acts with Ma
ture.
Anyone taking Pe-ru-na will very
quickly find himself better able to
cough. The cough seems to be more
satisfactory. 1t is a deeper cough, in
which the mucuS is raised and easily
expectorated. Pe-ru-na relieves cough
by removing the cause of the cough.
It works in exactly the same way as
every other medicine ought to work,
in harmony with Nature.

THE LITTLE "coRPoRALp

 The scheduled 20 miles between Metuchen, N. J., the days starting point, and this illavge was. stretched into 27 as the result of the women taking the wrong road.
 Princeton students went out to meet them and fell in line and marched to the Princeton inn, their numbers swell ing to more than 500. Here the stu dents called for a speech from Gen eral" Jones. The Suffrag gette leader, undaunted, mounted a chair and asked that the students form mems league for women suffrage. This request was greeted with cheers mingled with cat calls.

The party under Captain Scott after leaving Commander Evans on Jan. 4. 1912. marched an average of 12 miles daily and reached the pole 0A Jan. 1T.
 The descent of Beardmore glacier was accomplished in thick weather and deep snow greatly delayed the march. Petty Officer Evans fell on the rough ice and sustained concussfon of ethe brain. His condition caused a further delay and the surplus food was con stunned. On Feb. r Evans collapsed and was placed on a sledge. He died a few hours afterwards
 The bad ice surface and the illness of Captain Oates still further hamper ed the progress and weakened the en- ergies of the party. Sometimes they made only three miles a day. Then came blizzards and head winds which completed the disaster.
 The searching party, under sDr. At- kinson. found their tent on Nov. 10. half covered by the snow. The bodies were identified. A tent was placed over them and 8 large cafrn of snow erected. 4 cross with brief record was placed on the top of this. signed by all the members of the searching party.
