NEW YORK, Feb. I'D. - The
Australians, having seen the
Giants and White Sox i'm action,
are inclined to spool at our ma
tional game. At least one writer
in the Antipodes has gone ON rec
ord as finding 1t hard TO decide
whether the Giants going into
action look like "a band of Arctic
explorers, braced for a march due
south, or q contingent of prize
fighters getting ready for the
ring"
ut was the novelty of the thing
that chiefly appealed to the spec
tators. To see am American base
ball team taking the field is vast
ly impressive at the outset. There
are nine men on q side, and the
New Workers as they stepped onto
the field, looked a formidable
and rather fearsome contingent.
In size they are above the aver
age; one or two of them Would
easily turn the scale at fourteen
stone, and they add to their bulky
appearance by wearing loose and
baggy garments, surmounted by
white hats pulled down well over
the eyes. The man who acts as
catcher position corresponding
to that Of wricket keeper at crick-
et-is fearfully and wonderfully
arrayed against all possible mis-
chances Of the game. He carries
a heavy glove In one hand; he
has his legs incased in pads of
considerable size and thickness,
and wears round his body a sort
of leather buckler that would be a
fair protection against a Macedon-
Ian phalanx.
Someone stands in the base
with a wooden bat in his hand; ;
some one bowls or pitches at
him; II he hits the ball hard
enough or far enough he will get
around the ring-in other words,
he will get what baseballers call
a run, and what children call a
rounder;; IL he is caught off the
bat he is out-just as he Is in
FOUNDERS; and II he is not fast
enough to get to a base before
the ball gets there he is out
also."
Considering the noise worlds

the near cases of nervous pros
tration that develop, what must
we be falling for when an out

JOE HILL AF TER
MATCH WITH
CONNERS

Joe Hill Is now after the scalp
of Earl Connors, and expresses a
desire to mingle with the clever
lad from the East Side in the near
future.
Il have been trying to get a
match with Connors for some
time" says Hin, but he thinks
I'm too big for him. / am willing
to post a forfeit to weigh In at
116 pounds ringside, provided he
does the same. l have been Civ
ing away five to rs pounds in all
my recent bouts, and would like
to show the public what I can do
with q boy my own weight"
A match between Connors and
Hill would no doubt provide a
vast amount of entertainment,
and there Is probability that
some Of the local clubs will make
an effort to stage the pair In the
near future. Connors has not
had as much experience as Hill,
but II Joe can make 116 pounds,
he will put up good battle.

Murphy Quarrels With Everybody
And Makes Money While Doing 1t
BY HUGH s. FULLERTON.

Charles w. Murphy. the most
talked of and most hated man in
the sporting world today, like
wise is one of the most interest
ing. Whatever Murphy does it is
interesting and he has created
more trouble, put over more
deals, caused more upheavals in
the baseball world than all the
other club owners combined.
He is a small, plump man,
quick of wit, brilliant In repair
tee, quick of temper, quick to for
give, even quicker than he is to
seek forgiveness. Murphy has
been the monkey wrench in base
ball machinery since 1906, and,
now that the effort to drive him
out of baseball Is on in earnest,
his history is interesting.
Murphy, in spite of the popu-
lar belief that he is of Jewish ex-
traction, Is of Irish parentage, his
father being Patrick Murphy of
Wilmington, Ohio. He worked in
a drug store at 81 a week and
slept in the store, went to Cincin-
natl, where he later secured job
on a newspaper, and after time
wrote baseball.
He was considered the press
box pest of Cincinnati because of
his roofing for or against
teams or players. His salary was
small, but he was a money maker.
He gained his first big stake" by
getting out a big program for a.
police benefit in Cincinnati. 1917
While engaged in hustling for
money In Cincinnati he became
friendly with Taft, brother of the
former president. When the Chi
cago club was placed on the mar
ket Murphy stepped in, made an
offer and persuaded Taft to let
him have the cash.
His extraordinary success dur
ing the first five years he owned
the Cubs aroused much envy, and
his actions aroused bitter enmity.
He has quarreled with almost
every man In baseball-and made
a fortune doing 1t.
Just now he Is out with almost
everyone In baseball-and laugh
ing at them, declaring they can
not drive him out of the game.
Hate him, or like him, he Is
always interesting-and that Ii
something.

President Murphy of the Chi
Icago club fired Manager John
Evers for an alleged bone-headed
play to which Murphy charges the
loss of the post-season series to
Che White Sox.
! The score was 0 to 0 with the
Cubs at bat in the last half of the
ninth inning. Archer, a compar-
latively slow runer opened with a
base hit. Evers had two slower
men, Bresnahan and Needham, as
reserve catchers and three play
ers faster than Archer on the
bench. Murphy says Evers should
have taken Archer out and sent a
faster man to first. Cheney had
pitched nine innings and held the
Sox scoreless. Murphy says Evers
should have sent q substitute to
bat for Cheney. Cheney is a good
bunter. a fair hitter and was
pitching we'll. Should Eyers have
made the changes?

The easy way, the pleasant way. is
to use Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets that
quickly restore appetite and build up
the worn-out body by the perfect as
similation of food.
These little digestors are powerful,
pleasant, and produce almost imme-
diate digestion of any meal. If you
will use them occasionally you will
quickly learn what a joy food really is.
One cannot hope to help nature by
eating food from which weakened
digestion cannot take the ingredients
1t needs.
The only way is to put these in
&: dients in a pure form into the body.
Then when they are absorbed the sys-
tenn at once starts rebuilding and Is
enabled to soon perform its proper and
perfect functions.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain
the very essences most demanded and
desired by the body to do it's work of
taking nutrition from food.
AS soon as the stomach is enabled
to stop food decay and balance it's
gastric juices, then raw stomach gas
foul breath, catarrh, heartburn, bowel
trouble, ETC., disappear. The result is
always the same. This fact alone is
what has made Stuarts Dyspepsia
