 Frank is anxious to get back in the game.' said Doc, "and will make every effort to get in excellent physical con- dition during the stay at Houston. Tex He would have been in there great deal last year but for force of circum- stances. He sprained a leg tendon very badly in the second exhibition game against Brooklyn, but was him self again long before the season closed. I examined his legs when I was in California and win gamble my reputation that he is sound as a dollar. He thinks, and I think, he can stand the strain of training as well as he did last spring in Bermuda. When he left the island he was about the fastest and most aggressive player on the squad.
 "Chance thinks that Williams will develop into a good first baseman. All that he lacks is big league experience. But if Chance is able to develop or ac- quire a star second baseman there is no doubt in my mind that he will don the spangles once more regu1ar- He could have played the last half of 1913. but he realized that he had to rebuild the whole club and did not wish to deprive the green material (which eventually must be molded into first class initial sacking sIzill) of a proper opportunity to display itself"

 The old rules were at fault in a great many instances. but never more so than in the classifying Of a horse by the fastest heat ever trotted or paced by that animal. In hundreds of cases a horse which is unable to trot a mile better than 2:10 on the average has perhaps on a single occasion trot- ted the mile in 2:07 or 2:06 and under the old rules was classified in the 2:o7 or 2: 06 classes. where he had but little chance to prove a money winner, usu- ally resulting in the horse being retired

No Bonus For singIe Jockeys.

J. W. Fuller, the Texas turfman, has T unique method of dealing with jock eys who ride winning races for his stable. Under no condition does he ever make a, present to an unmarried Jockey Frequently when the riders are up on winners in his colors and they are fortunate enough to possess a, wife and Fuller wins good bet on his horse he hands the rider a century note or two. He thinks. on the other hand that the usual riding fee for a winning mount IS sufficient for the Jockey that has no family cares.
 But Fuller was not always this way. when his noted mare Toka1on won the $20, ,Oo0 Brooklyn handicap in 1906 he presented her rider, BedelI. with a $1, ,0oO bill. The big money turned the boys head and he didn't show up at Fullerss stable for more than week. when he did return he had spent every cent and looked like a hobo. Fuller did not even chide him, but later hap penings only proved too we'll how. the noted turfman had carried the incident

LOW SCORE GAMES PENNANT WINNERS.

RUNS usually win pennants, but not
 always There are many freaks in baseball In 1906 the Chicago White Sox were the weakest hitting club in the American league, but they defeated the Chicago Cubs. the hardest hitting club in the National league. in the worlds series. This feat was unique, but the Great Falls team of the Union Association have proved themselves the runless wonders of the age. In a six club league they scored less runs ttsan any other team ins the circuit. but taey won the cnampionship.
 <zreaf FRfls succeeded in scoring only S1a fune. ~hsle. 4tSalk Lake City, tseir c-osest Tfva1s. scored s56. Salt Lake also led Great Falls in batting by thirty points The secret of Great ea1lss success was their ability to win low score games. It was this same ability which made such terrors of the uzhl&M Mex of 1sod.

from the racing ranks The new grand circuit rules provides that if a horse cannot win after starting in two races he shall be entitled to start in a class two seconds slower. If he is still un- able to win in this class he will be carried back to a slower class until he has been given the maximum allow ance Of four seconds.
 The new rule. providing that records made in a race which the horse did not win or records against time (so called sttin cup,s marks) will not be consider ed in classifying the horse for racing. is revolutionary in it's character and will result in hundreds of sterling race horses doing a real come back. It is a common occurrence for a horse to win a heat in the fastest time of the race. only to be nosed out in the later heats

ERUPTION DIsFIeURED FACE

Lock Box IS, Maurice, Ia.-"In the
spring Of 1911 our little daughter, age
Ave years, had q breaking out on her

took for ringworm. 1t resembled q
large ringworm, only 1t differed IN
that 1t was covered with watery Bills
tiers that itched and burned terribly,
made worse by her scratching 1t.
Then the blisters would break through
and let out a watery substance. She
was very cross and fretful while she

night. When the eruption was at Its
worst the teacher Of the school sent
her home and would not allow her to
