Manager Griffith does not intend to
carry his entire corps of left handlers
even as far as the training camp. He is
now planning to place ut least two of
these youngsters il good minor league
for Development and il seems more. than
proba Die that the Los Angeles club OF
the Pacific coast win take one or two OF
them off of his hands. According TO the
Los Angeles Tribune of q recent date.
President Berry of that club gave it out
that he had a proposition from Griffith,
whereby Los Angeles could secure two
OF the Nationals young left-handers
Berry said he was not at liberty to
mention the names Of these pitchers, but
that one of them was six feet seven
inches tall. He might as we'll have men
toned his name for he undoubtedly re-
fers to slim Love. whom Griffith Sc
cured from Atlanta last fall. The other
left-hander referred to is probably Bent
ley Or Harper. with the chances favorin:
Harper.
That these youngsters need development
is conceded by Griffith. and he no doubt
would prefer to turn them over TO his
cousin. Frank Dillon. who manages the
Los Angeles team. than TO any one else.
Loves fault is that he hasn't = curve
Dali Griffith contends that before he
can hope TO foo major league batters he
must acquire Il curve, and for this rea-
son he believes that q year in fast
minor league would make q great differ
ence in him. Harper is u mere boy and
undoubtedly needs experience.
Chicago critics and fans are condemn
ing the action OF RED Russell. the Sox
star left-hander, for pitching ball during
The off season. Russell is doing sensa-
g. al m
this winter. but fear is expressed that be-
cause OF his keeping himself in constant
training he Will be of little use TO the Sox
next season.

that this will be about May /, possibly
later
The object of this scheme is two-feld.
1t will direct public attention to what
Oscar w. Underwood believes the most
important work of the session-the
tariff, and, second. it will enable leaders
of the House to "size up" the new mem.
bers with view to deciding upon their
availability or non-availability for vari.
Gus committees. On the ground that this
will also be of advantage to the new
members, enabling them to display their
merits. Mr.. Underwood's lieutenants are
circulating this idea, to see how well it
takes.
OF course, much depends on the atti-
tude of President Wilson Should he
suggest that the House start out com
pletely organized, as the Senate will he,
there will be a test OF strength at the
start between him and Congress. An
alternative plan has been proposed in
nase the above outline does not meet
with approval. This is to appoint the
ways and means committee, the COM
nittee on banking and currency, that on
bills and the committee on
rules. This would enable the member
.hip to take up at least one of the other
questions which Mr.. Wilson believes the |
Extra session should handle-that of cur
'ency reform.

DO YOU ENJOY EATING
Or Does Everything You Eat
, Distress You?

Experts declare that the reason stom-
ach disorders are so common in this
country is due to hasty and careless hab-
its OF. eating. Stomach troubles and run
down conditions also usually go to-
gether.
John Lind of Oneonta, n. Y, says:
Il had a bad stomach trouble for fifteen
years and became so weak that | could
hardly walk or do any work. My appe-
tite was very poor, and it seemed i'm
possible to get any relief. Since taking
two bottles of Vinol, | find that it has
already made remarkable improvement
in my health, my digestion is much
stronger, and | have gained in weight"
Ninol makes weak stomachs strong,
because it strengthens and tones up the
weakened. tired and overtaxed nerves OF
the digestive organs Vinol is easily as
simulated by the weakest stomachs, and
is delicious to the taste.

standing that your money will be re-
turned if it does not help you. Red
