HARRISON GETS
WALKING PAPERS
Some Surprise THAT Manush Let the
Big outhelder Go Altar
Yesterdays
Game.

TeamJustIee Signs

plre.


Harrison, the heavy left fielder with
the Indians. was dropped from the
payroll last night by Manager Man
ush. To some the release of the big
fellow will be surprise but to those
who have been watching the games
and the work of the player, the action
OF the boss is taken only as matter
of course.
Harrison was given chance to
make good the same as the others and
like two or three others, has fallen
down under the eagle eye of Manush.
In the field. Happy" attended to his
stretch OF greensward satisfactorily
but at the bat was school boy. Man
ush had hoped that the left fielder's
weight coupled with his ability to get
around the bases would make Harri-
son useful man at the plate. Ex-
ipectations did not mate-ialize, how.
ever.
| Since Harrison has been cut loose,
he has had an offer to go with the
Racine team in the Wisconsin Illinois
league. He will probably take It.
What May Develop.
1t Is well known fact that Hines
has not been playing the ball at third
that was expected Ct him. Just what
/ Manush intends to do with him is a
matter for conjecture but the prob
abilities are there will be a change In
4 the infeld. Roman has been going
strong at second and with better
man on third sack, the infield would
be one of the best If not the superior
of any in the circuit McGafigan will
be able to return to his place al
short, pretty quick now.
Gottschall was taken along with the
team to Kewanee, although it was
thought by number that he would be
dropped after his performances o.
yesterday. The manager intends tt
try out Miller, the new man from the
Kansas state league before he makes
change with Gottschall. The lattel

GOTTsCHALL, THE JONAH
Red Top Threw the Ball Away in
the Second Game, Allowing
Three Runs-lnfield
Off Color.

Thrills of unalioyed delight mingled
with qualms of disgust coursed UP and
down the spines OF banner Sunday
baseball crowd. Keokuk won the
first game from Pitcher Newmeyer Of
the Muscatine ginks. to 4; the sec
end one was lost to the feathered clan
when Red Gottschall made the prize
boob of himself and threw the ball
about one mile and some feet over
the head of Masush, letting in three
runs. With the exception Of the boss,
the local infield played little short of
rotten ball during both games. 1t
was work himself to death or lose the
first one for VAIL; French, making
his debut before the homers. did as

Hilly or the frames would have been

Eighteen innings of ball we're play

French Unsupported.

Manush and Boyle decided that the
last game should be of regulation
length and the second affair was on.
With French doing the delivering,
two runs were made without the new
pitcher giving a hit. Hines partly
stopped one that Harrell chased to
him but the spunky leather hoped
out of the third baseman's NIT and
allowed Harrell to get to first Seeing
chance for double, the visitor ran
to second and Hines threw wild TO
4 Gottschall in an endeavor to head him
off. Muscatine scored their first run,
/ then and there.
In the second inning, Manush de-
cided to make a change and stuck
Gottschall on third and Hines in
short Whether it was because of the
strangeness of his new surroundings
or just plain, unadulterated rotten
ness that Gottschall missed connec
ton with everything that came his
way and heaved wildly, no one will
ever know. Red seemed to have lost
all control of the muscles and nerves

M SUPERSTITION.

4 curious idea among the Bur-
mcse is that people born on the same
day Of the week must not marry,
and that if they defy the fates their
union will be marked by much i'll
luck. To prevent these disastrous
marriages, every girl carries a record
Of her birthday in her name, each
day Of the week having a letter be-
longing to it, and all children are
called by a name which begins with
that letter. It Is rather hard if the
MaryS and Marks of Burma fall in
love with each other as in this coun-
try. Unlike other Oriental lands,
the young people are allowed to mar
ry as taste dictates, subject only tt
the birthday restrictions.

May Be BEAUTIFUL AT FORTY
Womsn's Complexion and Figure Car
Be Preserved by Proper Diet
and Fresh Air.

Women should be specially careful
to choose the right diet. For the
sake Of her beauty, if nothing else, a
woman should choose the right
amount Of nutritiye foods, and avoid
the temptations Of ~oyereating. Coars-
er bread, more fruit, less meat and
especially moderation, or total absti-
nence, in the use of tea and coffee
will secure relief from the all too re-
tarded action of the digestive organs
which is the curse Of SO many women
who lead sedentary lives. No woman
who eats properly and gets plenty of
fresh air and exercise will have a
poor complexion nor get too fat nei-
ther will she suffer from nerves and
hysteria.
The woman who lives right, thinks
right and works right may be more
beautiful at forty or sixty than at
twenty, and the preservation Of the
divine gift of beauty is a duty that
no woman should neglect for her
own sake and the sake Of the world
about her.-Woman's Home Com.
