Who VIII Lead National
League in Double Plays?
Giants Should Have Fastest
Pair in Doyle and Fletcher.

When Joe Tinker and Johnny Evers
were playing alongside of each other
in Chicago, they were accounted the
fastest pair of infielders in the Ma
tional League, and the summary of
Cub boX-score that didn't contain the
phrase Double plays-Tinker to Evers
to Chance, % was considered a curio.
These two men doubtedly started
more double plays than any other pair
of infelders in the National League,
and now that the combination has
been split up fans are wondering what
duo of players win be their successors
as rapid fire double play artists. Chi
cagoans. OF course, hope that AL Bird
well will prove as speedy as j. Fayer-
sham and will force his way into as
many double plays as did the Cincin-
natl leader The fans of Redland nat
uraIly look to Tinker to speed up Dick
Egan and teach him the classic style
Trojan E1vers possesses when partici-
pating in dual killings.
1t is hardly likely that Bridwell will
work as quickly or as smoothly with
E.vers as did Tinker, or that Evers will
be able to make his equal out of Esan.
The probabilities. based on last years
figures are that the Giants will have
the quickest pair of double play ar
lists in Larry Doyle, who won the
Chalmers car offered to the National
Leagues most valuable player last
year, and Arthur Fletcher, who would
pull down all prizes We're they offered
to the ball player possessing the larg-
est pair of hands.

Woman S Beauty IS
Based ON Health
To Have Health, Bowel
Movement is Absolutely
NeCeSSary-HOW Best
to Obtain it

IF woman's beauty depended upon
cosmetics every woman would be
picture of loneliness. But beauty lies
deeper than that 1t lies in health.
In the majority of cases the basis OF
health and the cause of sickness, can
be traced to the action OF the bowels.
The headaches, the lassitude, the
sallow skin and the lusterless eyes are
usually due TO constipation. SO many
things that women do habitually con-
duce to this trouble. They do not
eat carefully. they eat indigesuble
foods because the foods are served
daintily and they do not exercise
enough. But whatever the particular
cause may be it is important that the
condition should be corrected.
An ideal remedy for women. and one
especially suited to their delicate re-
quirements. is Dr. Caldwells Syrup
Pepsin. which thousands of women en-
dorse highly. Mrs. Jennie Snedeker.
1041 West Monroe ST, Chicago, testi-
fies that she is cured of grave stom-
ach and bowel troubles by using Syrup
Pepsin and without the aid Of a doc
tor or any other medicine" All the
family can use Syrup Pepsin, for thou
sands of mothers give it to babies and
children. It is also admirably suited
to the requirements of elderly people,
IN fact to all who by reason of age or
infirmity cannot stand harsh salts, ca
thartics. pills or purgatives. These
should always be avoided for at best

Willow Switches Given Away,

The small boy whose father has
time to apply the switch should be-
ware with a little more than his usual
caution. The United States govern
ment is giving away willow switches.
The department of agriculture has
an experiment farm at Arlington, Va,
and some parts of it were found to be
too wet for raising ordinary crops.
Therefore the experts set willows out
in the wet places, and there has been
SO smart a growth that the govern
ment wants to get rid of the willow
switches. 1t offers to give them away
under the guise of willow cuttings to
make baskets or bottom chairs, but no
smart boy will ever be deceived by
that kind Of talk. He may be safe on
ly in the assurance of the government
that only one hundred OF the cuttings
will be given to one person.-Worces-
