rious trouble consult an osteopath
THE foregoing are really hints on
training; but we will now
glance at a few points that may be
Of practical value to you in prac-
ticing the actual fielding work of
baseball.
In the very first place, would
suggest to all more or less inexpe-
rienced players that they take care
not to remove their eyes from the
ball they are fielding until they are
sure they have it in their hands.
Many a time have I seen an in
fielder stretch out his hands for a
ball that he felt positive would land
right in his digits in the next frac-
tional part of an instant, and then
take his eyes off the ball in order
to take look at the runner and
see how much time he has left in
which to throw. And that very
instant the ball veered ever so
slightly from its course, and, 10! our
lnfielder had made a bobble and
lost his man. Make sure you have
your ball, then find the runner if
you must. In throwing to first
base you need And no one but your
own baseman, and he always occu-
pies the same location: so why pay
attention 10 the runner, unless you
have a choice of places to which to
throw?
Another little thing that 1t is well
to bear in mind is that, as a gen
eral rule, big, strong men will GER
tainly hit the BAH farther and hard
er than will the little batters. and
accordingly it will be well if you
will all play a little deeper for the
big fellows.
A LSO you will do well to try and
remember the particular bat
ters and their styles, and whether
they hit them to the right or left.
in the air or on the ground. Note
whether they pull away or step up
straight. and YOU will have some
idea where to play for them. Re
member whether they are slow or
fast, and you will have better idea
Of how much time you will have in
fielding their ball. Observe wheth-
er they have any preliminary man
nerisms which tell when they are
going to bunt or swing, II they bat

TOE THOMAS shaded Frank
Whitney in a furious ten
~ round bout at the Orpheum
theater, but Referee Burke was of
the opinion that everything was
even at the end and raised both
lads hands, thereby placing the
mill in the record books as a draw.
Each boy earned four rounds,
according to my way of figuring.
Frank had the first, second, fifth
and sixth spasms, Joe the seventh,
eighth, ninth and tenth sessions.
The third and fourth were even.
The first and second rounds were
Whitney's by mile. The other
twoNrounds that he earned were his
by narrow margin only. The four

lis every second of the way.

his every second of the way.
Thomas proved the better boxer,
often jabbing three and four times
without a return. His fancy work
appealed to the crowd. Whitney,
on the other hand, finding the New
Orleans lad too shifty for him at
the game of hit and get away, did
most of his work on the body.
Frank had the better of the in
fighting, and the majority of the
big house overlooked this work.
Whitney displayed the harder
punch. In the first round he drop
ped Thomas to his knees with a
short right hook. He repeated this
in the second round. In the eighth
round Whitney landed only one
blow, but it was a corker. A wild
left swing connected with Thomas
head. 1t was bit high or it might
have won brackets for the young
man from Cedar Rapids.
Thomas uncorked a new punch.
1t was a half-pivot blow that he
used in the clinches. He would
turn half around as he broke and
then threw the right hand back
into the stomach. Whitney didn't
seem to be able to solve a guard for
this new 'un.
Without any doubt, it was the
fastest lightweight scrap ever stag
ed in Atlanta and return match
would pack the club to the raf-
ters.
lid YOUNG won the decision
over Spider Britt after eight
rounds of swell mixing in the semi
windup. Some of the crowd boot
ed Mike Sauls decision, but Mike
was right. However, let me whis-
per that Young will have to cut out
some of his high travelling" or he
will be in for beating before long.
He was in no condition last night
and Britt would have won in few
more rounds.

The Topeka Pure Milk company is
cooperating with DR.. George F. Babb,
city milk inspector. in the interests
of the Topeka pure milk campaign.
Topeka, by the way, is gaining some
reputation through the west for the
purity and cleanliness of it's milk.
The Topeka Pure Milk company has
offered a cash prize to the dairy OBJ
tanning the highest score at the hands
of the city milk inspector in his month
1. The following letter was forward
ed on Tuesday to farmers supplying
milk:
We have long been desirous of i'm
proving the quality of our supply as
regards cleanliness and to that end
have decided on the following course:
Beginning June l, 1913 we will
pay a premium of &c per pound but
terfat in addition to the regular price
of milk which test by the city
milk inspector at platforms,
proves to be free from. dirt.
Experience shows that such a re-
suit can best be obtained by strain
ing the milk through cotton. For this
purpose we recommend the use of a
special strainer which can be obtained
through us at the wholesale price, ap-
proximately S1.25.
In addition to the above we will
give a premium of SIS cash to the
patron whose dairy obtains the high
est score at the hands of the city
milk inspector for the quarter begin

We expect to begin making arrests

of running with their mufflers open. and
they must stop right away. We will ar

catch them.

Hargis Is Granted Divorce.

A decree of divorce on his cross pc
t1tion was granted to Art Hargis from
his wife by Judge George H. Whit
comb this morning. The case has
been pending for some time. The de-
cree carries with it the provision that
Hargis pays all costs and also that he
pays an attorneys fee for his wifes
lawyers of $50. A division of the
property was made out of court, so no
record of it is contained in the judg
ment.
Mrs. Hargis started the suit about
a year ago, charging that her husband
was brutal to her. preferring the COM
pany of other women to that of his
wife. Hargis answered by charging
his wife with drinking heavily and
failing to have any regard for her
personal appearance. The suit since
has been pending.
Hargis is a druggist at Tenth and
Kansas avenues, and was independent
candidate for register of deeds last
year. His wife formerly was Miss Lulu
