American League Umpire.


Funny things happen in baseball
1t is a game filled with unusual III
uations. Very often some pitcher
makes the best hitters on a team look
like a bunch Of dubs, while players
regarded as weak with the stick have
no trouble hitting the offerings of the
same twirler. Every now and then
some tail-end club will hit a pitcher.
regarded as a star, all over the field,
only to have some recruit take his
place and hold them helpless.
Perhaps nothing illustrates this
phase Of the game better than the
case of Frank Baker and his work in
the worlds series. In 1911 Baker,
with home runs off the delivery Of
Marquard and MatheWsCn. was the de-
Gliding factor in the outcome Of the
big games. Last year when the two
clubs again met, the Giant pitchers
were warned to have a care when
Baker stepped to the plate. Last year
the American league used the Polo
grounds in New York. In eleven reg
ular games during the season Baker
did not hit a ball into the stands.
Yet in the very first game with the
Giants in the big series. he drove the
ball into the stands that virtually de

BRITISH OLYMPIC
COMMITTEE STEPS

According TO the London Times. the
booster movement started several
months ago to raise { 10000 TO put
England on its feet for the next Olym-
pic games at Berlin, has collapsed
like a priCked balloon. The country
is apathetic. and will not support the
special committee organized to handle
the campaign, either morally or tinan-
Cially.
The Times says:
J. E. X. Studd, chairman OF the
special committee appointed to make
preparation for the Olympic games
OF Berlin announces the intention OF
the committee 10 retire.
The members Of the committee see
no other course open to them in view
Of the lack Of support given by the
public to the appeal for funds OF the
Gl0O, 0OU asked for. the total amount
subscribed has fallen short OF 6 900.
OF this sum a large part was prom
ised conditionally. and will not now
be available. The actual sum OF which
the committee is now in possession,
after certain grants which have been
made, is 6 1898.
The committee has allocated the
6 1898 in its possession as follows:
For training purposes ........ $3.50

some FIGHTERS
WERE ABLE To
SAVE FORTUNES

, While many heroes OF the ring earn
ed fortunes with their fists, few saved
sufficient to exc out existence when
! RELOCATED TO the scrap heap. Joe
Cans. George Dixon and Joe Walcott,
! ColOred stars, all went broke. Charley
Mitchell quit comparatively poor. Here
are the savers:
! James J. Jeffries received more
than 100000 during his ring career.
| In one year Jeff and W A. Brady, his
manager, split $2O6,OOO He has saw
cd about $4,000 from his earnings in
the ring.
| Tom Sharkey. though never cham
! pion, is the wealthiest boxer of them
! all. He earned about $I50,000 in the
ring. OF this he saved around $15,-
000, the rest going to his manager,
and for other expenses. On retiring
he started a saloon in New York with
a partner. At the end of four years
he bought out his partner for $4,000.
| He still owns this saloon. His present
wealth is estimated at a quarter of a
million.
COrbett Does Well
James J. COrbett. eX-heavyW Weight
champion, who probably did not earn
over 100000 in the ring, has by his
good management been able not only
to save this, but to continually add to
it. With splendid salary of $3.50 a
week for his work on the stage, Cor
bett today is probably worth more
than $150,00O.
T M my Burns, eX-heavyweight
oh Dinn about 8100 00A
in the ring He is worth more than
$l50,000. Tommy is doing we'll in
real estate.
James E. Britt ex-lightweight
champion, has received from $4,000
to $4,000 for his services. Britt, like
COrbett, is an exceptionally bright
man.
Though he never earned more than
$4,000 during his entire career, Gus
Rubin left his widow $4,000 when he
died. proving that he was very con-
sentative man.
Ad Going Down
AID Wolgast, former lightweight
champion, received more than $780,
600 in purses. Yet today he is prob
ably not, worth more than 100000.
Billy Papke, x-middleweight cham
pion, has managed to save. between
100000 and $4,000 out of an earning
of about 100000.
Jack Roots earnings in the ring
were under $4,000. Yet by shrewd
management and his natural ability
to make friends, he has been able to
accumulate close to $150.000.
Tommy RYAN eX-middleweight
champion, was not fortunate enough
to make more than $4,000 in the ring.
but by careful investments, he is now
estimated at more than 100000.
Bat Nelson. ex-lightweight cham
pion, received more than 100000
while he was champion. He has not
done very we'll in business, making
several bad investments. Neverthe-
less he is still worth around 100000.
John l. Sullivan, who is looked up
on as the greatest of all champions, is
now worth about $4,000.

SING HUNG HOE is
INJURED WHILE IN

Sing Hung Hoe, the speedy Outfield

FEDS. TO HAVE ALL
PLAYER MANAGERS

Every club In the new Federal
League will have a playing manager
Economy is one factor in bringing
this about, for. nearly every owner in
the Organization figures that his high
priced playing star is to be the club
leader, too. Thus, Tinker's salary oil
$12,500 annually for three years does
not seem so preposterous when it is
remembered that Brooklyn offered
him $4,000 a year as a player. while
he drew $500 as a manager with Gin,
cfnnati whether he played or not. The
Federal League, by combining Me
two, saves the price of one star.
Not this alone is helping the new
league toward the playing manager
viewpoint. A number of the heads
CT the league are actually strong for
the leader who grew up in the game
and graduated from the one big
league crucible as a player.
There is little doubt in the minds
OF baseball men that the playing man,
ager is far preferable to the bench
overseer. and in getting active lead,
ers the Federal league, though seem,
ing to take a step backward, is still
taking one in the right direction.

The Chinese, by the way, will have
something very classy in the way of
uniforms for their Transforming tour.
The material is dark blue, with al

take we'll with the crowds.

In Cairo, ILL.,, a special effort is be-
ing made to organize troops with old

years old II Is felt that the scout
movement will benefit these older boys
even more than II will the younger

QUIT MEATH YOUR
KIDNEYS ACT BADLY
Take Tablespoonful Of Salts If Back
Hurts or Bladder Bothers-
Drink Lots of Water.

We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says
well-known authority, who warns us
to be constantly on guard against kid
ney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork;
they get sluggish; the eliminative It's
sues clog and thus the waste is re-
tanned in the blood to poison the en-
tire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead, and you have sting
ing pains in the back or the urine is
cloudy. full of sediment, or the blad-
der is irritable, obliging you to seek
relief during the night; when you
have severe headaches, nervous and
dizzy spells. sleeplessness, acid stom-
ach or rheumatism in bad weather,
get from your pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a table
spoonful in a glass Of water before
breakfast each morning and in few
days your kidneys will act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to flush and stimulate
clogged kidneys, to neutraliZe the
acids in urine so it is no longer
source of irritation, thus ending uni
airy and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink, and nobody can
make a mistake by taking little &C.
casionally to keep the kidneys clean
and active.

all over the country as "Pitchfork
Ben," has qualified as the health men,

that he will outlive number of them

Besides this he has a number of phys
