account Of womanly trouble. l suf

All of this made me SO weak, l

The reason Cardui has attained
such wonderful success in the treat.

Happily we are comparatively free

The vice is rampant among the

pickers were addicted to the practice.
Out of 200 cases, 1t was stated
every third person had become drunk
on menthylated spirits. The VIC

PITCHERS ARE BLAMED
Better Opportunity to Kill Time
Than Other Players.
League officials and Umpires Making
Efforts to Solve Problem Of How
to Make Games shortcr-con-
tests Made Tlresome.

The rules of baseball permit the UNI
bire to call a ball whenever a pitch
or holds the ball for more than 20
seconds. He can continue to call
balls for each such offense. This rule
was adopted to shorten the length of
baseball games. 1t is a good rule,
but it is one that might easily and
with the approval of "fandom" every
where be improved upon.
There Is no reason why the pitch
er should be allowed 20 seconds in
which to make his delivery. Fifteen
would be ample. It is admitted that
It is quite a task to pitch nine innings,
when every pitch is a well defined &C
ton and frequently-such as in the
case of curve balls, spit balls, and the
like-puts a tremendous pull en- the
wrist and the shouldeg. But 1t must
also be taken into consideration that
it is seldom that a pitcher is asked
to work oftener than every third day
at most.
This is cited because of the time
consumed in the playing of ball games
particularly in the American league
this year is topic that has demanded
the attention Of the public more thar
ever before.
Many we'll played game has no
appeared as such because the timt
consumed has made the play monot
onous and irksome.
It is a peculiar thing that almos
without exception the games playet
in the National league have been fast
er than the games played in the Amel
ican league this year. Why this shoul
be so is problem to decide. So ia
as can be judged, the players are c
