Soccer Star DOdges
Being a Millionaire
"Why Should ! Worry About Being
Heir to 81 200, ooo7"-o'Brien.
al Have a Good Job"

VAN buren,, ARK, July 19.-Utter
WEAKNESS of being merely a millionaire
is the reason John O'Brien, of New
York, who has been missing for three
years, has advanced in explanation of
his long absence from the ken of his
old friends.
OBrien is a former soccer football
star of Columbia University. He van
ished at the close of his college year,
in 1910. He was found yesterday in this
town, where he is working as an assist
ant engineer for the Missouri Pacific
Railroad
why should I worry about being
heir to 100 0O0," said O'Brien to-day.
Il have a good job When l convince
myself that l have made good in the
world l will return home. l became
plumb tired Of being a rich man with
nothing to do except play the society
game and study new ways to kill time.
Just now l wouldn't trade my $500
year position for the biggest fortune in
the world"
O'Brien added that his mother has
known of his whereabouts, though a ma
tion-wide search has been made for
him.

Pitcher AbleS Has
Tremendous Hands
Oakland Southpaw Can Easily
Palm an Ordinary
Baseball.

LOS ANGELES, July 19-Harry
Ables. star southpaw of the Oaklands
and the man whose work last year
stamped him as the best left-hander in
the league and was instrumental in the
oaks winning the championship, has
wonderful pair Of hands.
Ables is a big man physically and
undoubtedly possesses the largest hands
of any pitcher in the business. An or
binary baseball can easily be hidden in
the hand of the big southpaw, and it is
to the size and strength of his hands
that Ables attributes much Of his pitch
ing ability.
Along with his big hands Ables' wrists
are heavy and strong so that delivery
a less strong man has no terrors for
him, and If the condition Of his hands
and wrists have anything to do with
his period of service as an active
pitcher, then he Is due for many more
years in baseball
Many clever twirlers have gone bad
and been compelled to lessen their
work because they had not the strength
to get the ball away with the neces-
sary snap of the wrist without firing,
but Ables has no cause for worry and
his work is easy for him.
AS the Coast League can boast a
pitcher possessing the biggest hands, at
the same time the player with the small
est hands is in the organization, Billy
KenwOrthy, of the Sacramento club, be-
ing barely able to grip a baseball. AS
Ables hands are an aid to him, Ken
worthy's short fingers are a detriment
to him Many a hard-hit drive that
would be handled with ease by an ordi-
nary fielder has to be handled with ex-
traOrdinary care by the Sacramento star,
as baseball is to him as big as an in
door baseball would be in the hands of
the big Oakland southpaw.

NEW YORK. July l9.-James e. Sui
Ivan, secretary treasurer Of the Anna

II was reported to the A. A L. that
Brennan was giving mixed swimming
events, and that is something the
A. A. L. officials will never counten-
ance. They do not want to see the
girls made public characters" and they
want to protect the young women and
not TO degrade them by competition
against men in the same tank
In this stand Sullivan is backed by
the entire A. A. U, as well as the New
York Board Of Education. OF which he
is member II the girls and women
are TO have more extended competition
than they have now. the A. A. L. men
say they should have associations of
their own for protection. that they
should compete only among themselves,
and not against boys or men.

SMOKY JOE IS ADJUDGED
THE SLOWEST TWIRLER
TIME Philadelphia Evening Tele- |
graph has discovered the slow |

THE Philadelphia Evening Tele
graph has discovered the slow
est pitchers in the world. Her
s how II described a recent game i
which they performed:
Smoky Joe" Wood and Waco
Bill" Taft, little brothers of the
box, can outpoint any tortoise
that ever Crawled for studied de-
liberation, for deliberate languOr
and for general sleepiness when
in the performance of their du-
ties.
This is not slam at the use
fulness and the worth of either
twirler. Both get there" just as
did the turtle in the fable, But
aeons and aeons pass between their
departure and their arrival, and
meanwhile suppers grow cold at
home and wiley remembers that
he never thought of ball games
while he was counting her and
that it's very funny, anyhow,
that he should come home in the
dusk every time he goes to the
grounds.
Wood, however, has even Taft
outclassed. During the ninth in
ming recently he averaged more
than 40 seconds to every pitch.
Any self-respeCting moving pic
ture machine would burn out its
bearings before il could be run
slow enough to catch him at
work. There is a popular ira
dition in a Boston newspaper Of
flee that one camera man got an
action picture of Wood, but this
seems unlikely.
Wood combines his lettering
with speed only eXCelled by Wal
ter Johnson. He winds up like
an old fashioned watch. swing
ing his arms slowly. Watching
him makes every one want to
yawn. Then he untangleS him
self suddenly while the batter,
who by this time has also the
hookworm complaint, is nodding
drowsily. Whish-goes a streak
over the plate, whereupon UNI
pire Ferguson calls IL a ball If
the whish thing goes a foot in
side. outside, into the rubber
plate or ten feet in the air, Fer
guson impartially calls il a strike.
The main thing is that the batter
rarely meets the ball
Assuming that the ball has gone
somewhere near the catcher, this
procedure IS then enacted The
backstop snaps the ball to Wood
who has run up to within a few
feet Of the plate, and who is us
ually inquirLnE kindly whether
Ferguson's astigmatism is congo
NAL II acquired. J. Wood grabs
the ball with his gloved hand in a
rather petulant way and carries
IT tenderly back to the hill. In
stead of stopping at the box. he
Ignores II entirely and wanders
five or six yards behind It.
From this vantage point he
looks at the catcher, critically,
craining his head hither and yon.

They also are always taking the
chance of being "beaned." That's
true. for the reason that they are set.
they are rigid, they cant get out OF
the way of bali that breaks at the
last moment and starts for their
head.
Many a man has been hit by a
pitched ball for the reason that he
way is to be up there lounging like
Wagner. Then you are in position
70 step forward and meet the ball.
You also are in position TO swing
at the fast breaking ones. You
are running mighty little chance Of
being "beaned."
Speaking Of the weaknesses of
batters it's my opinion that Wagner
has the most peculiar of any man in
the game. It's no use TO try TO fool
him on curve. You can't It's just
as useless TO try a fast one Hen
pound that, regardless of where il
is pitched. He cares nothing for a
splitter and a change of pace means
nothing but a fatteuinE OF his bat
ting average.
Ball That Fools Wagner.
Jimmy Archer tells me that when
the pitcher must pitch to Wagner
when il is in the pinch, he signals
for one square over the heart Of the
plate, with nothing but speed on it,
Archer says that Wagner will do less
with this than he viii if you try 70
fool him, and MordeCai Brown used
TO do the same thing
Since Wagner and Lajoie have
been compared for years and years
perhaps II would not be wrong for
me to say here that Archer says that
the two men are alike in their weak
nesses and that Lajoie can do less
with the ball which most batters like
than he can with the hooks, the slow
ones, the fast one with the hop.
Archer knows, for the reason that he
caught in the American League.
The size of the bat has q lot TO do
with il. ! want one Of medium size.
say 40 ounces. I'm strong enough TO
swing the kind that Chief Meyers
does. But ! couldn't get as many
hits. The way the pitchers curve
them on you nowadays a man must
have something in his hand that he
can swing at the last instant and
swing hard and true
I wouldn't like To say that the av-
erage batter swings a club that is too
heavy. But in my opinion any time
that a bat feels the least bit heavy
IL is too heavy and should be dis
carded for a lighter one.

and bleachers snored raucously
after watching HIM for an inning.
RUDE Oldring pinched himself
urgently once or twice while at
the plate to make certain that he
was still awake, All Wood needs
to be the best pitcher in the world
is a grooming kind of lullaby to
match his actions. Then the ball
park would be an excellent sani-
tarium for sufferers from insOm-
MIA Even without the lullaby Joe
is still some shakes of a twirler.

Don't Stay Gray! Nobody Can Tell
When You Darken Gray, Faded Hair
With Sage Tea and Sulphur.

With Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Grandmother kept her hair beautiful
ly darkened, glossy and abundant with
a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. When
ever her hair fell out or took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect. By asking at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy" you will get large
bottle of this old-time recipe, ready to
use, for about so cents. This simple
mixture can be depended upon to re-
store natural color and beauty to the
hair and is splendid for dandruff, dry,
itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur, because it darkens so natur.
ally and evenly that nobody can tell it
has been applied-it's Is so easy to use,
too. You simply dampen a sponge or
soft brush and draw it through younr
hair, taking one strand at time. By
morning the gray hair disappears; af.
ter another application or two, it is
restored to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and abundant.
