Right Arm Manned,
Beatty Trains Left

The Columbia track team has lost
Russell Beatty. captain Of the team
and holder OF the intercollegiate shot
nut record. He probably never again
will be able to put the shot with his
right hand. An injury to his right
shoulder last fall is the cause. Since
Thai time he has been practicing
with his left hand, and he hopes that
by next spring he will do nearly as
well left handed as he did year ago
right handed. He was in wonder
full form in the intercollegiate meet
OF 1912, when he set his intercol-
legiate record of rs feet 10A inches.
Last spring, however. his injury pre-

LITTLE JOKE ON MATTY

stituted that 1t IL impossible for him
to entertain much love against any
fellow who - going to oppose him.
Walter johnson was billed to work
against the Sox one afternoon. Now.
Johnson is whale OF q pitcher, as
all the world knows. He Is so great
that he can smile, one Of those enjoy
able smiles, too, when he is pitching
against another club. He's all good
nature, even when the game Is close
or the opposition Is leading, because
he has an idea that. he is going to
have the last laugh. Up came Weaver.
The great Johnson, eh?'' quoth
Buck, and there was more than g.
trace of sarcasm In his voice. Think

plate and I'll break an infielder's leg

CAN TAKE "CALL~ WELL
Incidentally, this same Weaver can
take "calr' when one is coming
with about as much grace az any
man in the game. Remember the
afternoon on the South Side that he
rolled the ball to Pitcher Russell and
permitted the winning run to come
across the plate7 If there was any
one in the ball park who didn't tell
Buck In a loud voice that he was
bonehead 1t must have been some
mute And what they did to him on
the bench Is one of the stories they
like to tell when there are no women
present.
But Buck was game They rode"
him from one end of the bench to the
other and there aren't enough dots
and dashes in the world to indicate
in a newspaper what was said to him
when the clubhouse was reached.
And Weaver? About as sorry as
any fellow ever was over the loss of
a ball game, but never word did he
utter. That next afternoon he was
out there with more pepper and gin
ger than he ever displayed. He want
ed to retrieve that "boner."
WEAVER is POPULAR
:. In stands and bleachers they talk
about how much ground Weaver COW
ers and how much he has improved
in his hitting. and they think that he
is destined to become one of the
greatest shortstops in the game. On
the bench they talk about what a
wonderful spirit he possesses. how
they love to see him in pinch, and
they regret that they haven't more
fellows of his temperament.

being bored. You know that's what
they all say when they meet Mathew

last long. They never do when buck

Your Child's Health
Your First Thought

If you have children, naturally your
first thoughts are for their health.
You certainly want them to develop
strong, healthy constitutions. The
most careful attention must be given
when children show the first symp-
toms of the many common ailments.
Perhaps they are weakly and thin, or
grow too fast, thus sacrlicing
strength. These and other apparent
~ minor ailments may be the fore
runner to a weak constitution for life
Such children need Jayne's Tonic
vermifuge which is essentially chill
dren's tonic. First of all, 1t will
properly care for the child s stomach.
It will also improve the appetite, and
will add strength to the other organs
of the body. In cases of thin or i'm
pure blood, it increases the number
of red corpuscles enabling the en-
riched blood to keep the body healthy
and strong.
Among the most common ailments
that children develop is that of dis
ordered stomach, leading to an I'M
paired digestion. In many cases this
trouble is due to parasites in the IN
festival tract. To correct such trou-
BILE, Jayne's Tonic Vermifuge is I'M
surpassed.
For more than eighty years millions
of children have been restored 70
health through the use of this tonic.
Insist upon Jayne's; accept no other.
Sold by druggists everywhere. DR.. d.
