Joe Corbett Won Diamond
Laurels With Noted Orioles

where he remained during the winter
at his home in Hayes valley. In the
meanwhile his brother Jim, who was
quite an intimate of Edward Hanlon,
the then manager of the Baltimore
Orioles, asked him to have Joe given
trial on that club, and when the
spring of 1896 rolled around Joe had
signed contract and was ordered to
report to Macon. Ga, for practice.
While in the training camp Corbett
was regarded as youngster, and his
"tryout' was not given much consid-
GRAFTON, as Manager Hanlon and some
of his advisers regarded Corbett as
too young and inexperienced for a
trial on such a seasoned aggregation.
Strange to relate, he practiced at
most every position on the diamond,
EXCEPT pitching, and when the team
left fer Baltimore to play exhibition
games against Princeton. Harvard and
Yale, Corbett did not have the re-
hottest idea Of ever making the team.
Just before the game with Princeton
Corbett was warnings up with Catcher

After the "limbering up" young Joe

The Princeton team was defeated, 8 to

Then came the regular season with

This team perfected an astonishing
system of playa hit-and-run" game
which swept everything before it.
They were past masters at the ''in.

the New York Giants and Jennings
systematized among his Detroit play
ers. The old Baltimore batters could
lay a ball down to such a nicely that
the opposition would be entirely baf-

Taking quiet observations Of young
Joe and his capering around the dia-

informed Joe that he was going to
procure him tryout on the Washing

after found Brother Joe on his way to
Washington. D. c. His first few games
with that team were not a bowling
success, which did not perturb him
much, as it was more of a frolic and
he was not fully intent on taking up
baseball as a profession. After the
poor beginning young Joe was rather

BREAKING into
BROOKLYN COSTS
PILE OF MONEY
fBy Latest MALL
BY BOHEMIAN BULGER.

NEW YORK into base
ball is going to be an expensive NOR
sci for Robert B. Ward. the millionaire
baker. who has undertaken the propo-
sition CT financing the new Brooklyn
club When Mr.. Ward acquired the
lease of Washington park it cost him
$4,000 for the first years rental To
this must be added the taxes amount
ing to about $4,000. The salary of
the players the first year, If the Fed
erals are to send most of the stars
to combat the Dodgers, will run close
to $4,000, and as the invaders are
planning a grand stand that will &C
eommodate $4,000 people, which means
a double decker Of steel and concrete,
at least 100000 must be added to
the first years expenses. This would
bring the total to 100000 to break
into Brooklyn.
Going to Have Trouble.
1t is rumored that the Federals are
going to have lot of trouble getting
started. The laws will make 1t neces-
sary to build entirely new fcunda-
tions at Washington park, and as
concrete can not be poured until the
frcst is out of the grounds it means
that work may not start until early
in March. According to engineers 1t
will take at least three weeks to build
the foundations and six weeks to con-
struct the stands. 1t will require at
least six weeks before the first load OF
steel can be delivered. This makes
ii look as if the opening in Brooklyn
will be delayed several weeks after
the season opens.
Still, John NJ. Ward says the trick
can be turned and the turning has
started. ...... ,
1--WE know we've got to have good
team" he says, land we are going to
have it. There will be.a surprise when
we announce to those who have been
skeptical the name OF the players.
Will Distribute Strength.
Though Mr.. Ward did not give the
his authority. it is under
stood that the 142 athletes under con-
tract to the Federal league will be
so that strength will go
where strength is needed. Joe Tinker
insists that he is out for the pennant
and will keep all the, men he has
signed in Chicago, but 1t is very likely
that Joe will turn over few to Brook
lyn to help out in the fight against
the Dodgers. h. ~
There has been much talk of Willie
Keller taking charge of the Brooklyn
team, but that matter is still on the
fire. The Federal promoters intimate
that they have six big leaguers under
contract whose names have not been
and that one. of those may
be named as leader of the Doughnuts,
or whatever the Ward team is to be
called.
That all the Fed teams may get we'll
under way, the schedule committee OF
the new league may put or the open
ing date until May 1. The two weeks

emit to start around April Is with the

SAINTS DEVELOP
some CLASSY
RUNNERS

st. Louis College held a track
meet at the Boys Field yesterday az
ternoon and the results OF some oil
the races were surely surprising.
When Jansen cleared the bar at 5 feet
10 inches, he showed the fans present
that he has not lost any o. MS pre-
yious high.jumpfng ability, and when
Carey covered the mile in 4 min. 80
sec, the St Louis men were sure that
they had at least one strong man for
the four mile relay Captain Hore of
the Saints easily won the 10O-yard
Dash in 10 2-5 and from the showing
he made the collegians are confident
that he is good for 10 Is If not 10

St Louis has a number of individ-
: ual stars but they have no relay
teams that amount to anything, out OF
mehameha gained in the three-mile
run In February to make up. they do
not feel that there is much change of
winning the Cornell meet, but when
the interscholastic championship
meet comes around on March 21st the
wearers Of the blue and red are sure
of winning certain races.
Fernandez Coed. +.
In the broad jump Fernandez came
close TO 81 feet, covering 20 feet 8
inches. His performance was excel
lent and his name has gone down as
one OF those to represent the Saints
in the runs on Saturday II none OF
the recent inter-class mlsets which
have been held by all the schools has
any one jumped that far in the broad
jump. Baldwin of Oahu College
jumped 20 feet inches, but Is 5
inches behind the ground covered by
Fernandez. II this new man is good
for an equally long Jump in the Corr
nell meet 1t will be safe to slate him
as the, winner OF that event.
Vredenberg captured the initial po-
sition in the half mile with LeaI sec
ond. The time was not out Of the
ordinary, but the race was. well run
and Vredenburg showed good form.
Captain Tome Hore found the 229
yards another snap and was able to
win easily once more. He took bis
time In this race and did not chow
what he Is really good for.

In both Hore's races the winner ran

snces were unusual Tie rams figure
that man that can do the 100 In

only a pair OF spikes to help, is out
of the ordinary and should be able
to break the record with a little ex-
ira effort
Practice has been going on regu-
iarly out at the Boys Field and Broth
er Elmer is well satisfied with the
way some Of the jumpers are working.
Captain Hore has kept things moving
and with one more days practice will
have his team ready for the meet on
Saturday. Although the Saints do not
expect to win the cup for 1914 they
are almost sure OF winning some of
the races. The captain figures that
they will win at least three of the
events.

Quit Meat If Your
Kidneys Act Badly
Take tablespoonful Of Salts If Back
hurts or Bladder bothers.

We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid. says
a 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 tissues
clog and thus the waste Is retained in
the blood to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead. and you have
singing pains in the back or the
urine is cloudy, full of sediment. or the
bladder 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 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
lichia, and has been used for genera
tons to flush and stimulate clogged
kidneys. to neutralize the acids in
urine SO it is no longer a source OF
irritation, thus ending urinary and
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia water drink, and nobody can
make a mistake by, taking a little oc-
casionally to keep the kidneys clean
and active.
