SIDELIGHTS
On Sports
BY A. H. c. Mitchell.

IF Jimmy Sheckard, the Ma
tional League outfielder. were
a trifie younger, if he had the
speed that marked his prime as
ball player, the baseball world
would no doubt be treated to an
exhibition of pulicene activity
that would make a dogs worst
enemy jealous.
D ELIEVE us, Jimmy is some
~ iumper-or was some jumper
before he slowed up. It was dur
ing the dark and gloomy days
when the American League was
making the National League
souirm by signing the star
players that he proved his ABILITY
to leap. Jimmy Sheckard jumped
back and forth from one league
to the other eight separate ana
distinct times, breaking all
worlds records.
TT is understood that Sheckard
L has accepted the job Of man
aging the Toledo club of the
American Association. 1t is
doubtful II he will ever be back
in the majors again. He Is get
ting too old and too slow for the
big show.
DREsIDENT FULTz, of the
L Players Fraternity, has re-
turned to New York and reports
that the players are well pleased
at what they accomplished at
Cincinnati. where their demands
were discussed and disposed of.
Asked what the Fraternity's at
titude toward the Federal
League was, he replied, with en-
phasis:
Absolutely neutral. The Fra
ternitv will not advise players
to sign with the Federals and
will not advise them to go back
TO their old employers. That is
a matter that concerns each
PLAYER personally. as presl-
dent have no right to dictate
one way or another Officially
| have no opinion to express as
to ;he Federal League move
ment,"
EULTz'S statement is hardly
L satisfactory to those inter
ested in organized baseball. One
OF the officials of the big league
clubs said:
"Why does Fultz sidestep the
issue? Why does he say that the
Fraternity is neutral? If Fultz is
sincere in his attitude toward
organized baseball why doesn't
he order the players to return to
their old employers"

HER CONGRATULATIONS.

An Evanston lady was telling me
the other day about a rather lugu-
brious aunt who seemed to see every
thing through blue spectacles. Her
greatest pleasure in life was in at
tending funerals, and in case of a
friends illness she would console the
patient with gloomy forebodlngs and
with tales of others who had met
untimely deaths through similar af-
Aictions.
Her sister, who, though in good
health, was by no means young, was
celebrating her birthday, and it fell
to the melancholy one to send con-
gratulations.
"My dearest sister," she wrote.
"You have passed another milestone
in life's journey. Do YOU realize
that you are a year nearer the grave?
| wish you many happy returns of
the day ."-Chicago Inter Ocean.

REGULARITY OF PIPE FISH
Like the Kangaroo, It Is Provided
With Pouch in Which to csrry
It's Young.

The kangaroo has always seemed
to have the monopoly Of that conven-
lent way Of carrying its babies in a
pouch, but it has been discovered
that a fish has the same useful recep-
tacle, which it uses for the same pur-
pose. The pipe fish, as it is called
from the length of its jaws, has a
pocket on the under side of its body
nearly half its length. 1t is found in
the male specie only and is the only
part Of its body which is unprotected
by large, flat plates, which take the
place of scales in its protective
armor.
If a pipe fish is taken from the wa
ter and its little ones shaken out Of
the pouch back into the water they
always seem either unable or disin-
clined to run away. But if the father
is placed in the water again all the
small fish Immediately swim back
into the pouch. These curious little
creatures have prehensile tails, which
they use to hold on to the seaweed
to prevent themselves being carried
away by the tide. The pipe fish is
similar to the small eel, being about
a foot in length and an inch in thick
ness. But, unlike the eel, it has a
very long jaw and the peculiar de-
fensive armor already mentioned.

HEAT TAKES PLACE OF FOOD.


The French Academy Of Medicine
has received word Of the results of
experiments in Algiers to ascertain
how far solar heat takes the place OF
food. Guinea pigs were placed in
glass cases and kept all the year on
a fiat roof with all the oats they
wanted. 1t was found that their av-
erage consumption per 100 grams
of their own weight was four grams
of oats in winter, three grams in
spring and autumn and two grams
in summer.

Remedy and Save ~ by

Cough medicines, as a rule contain

graduated sugar with y pint of warm
water, stirred for 2 minutes, gives you
as good syrup as money can buy.
Then get from your druggist 215 ounces
Pinex $50 cents WORTH, pour into a pint
bottle and fill the bottle with sugar
syrup. This gives YOU, at cost of only,
81 cents, full pint of really better cough
syrup than you could buy ready made for
$2.50--a clear saving of nearly So. Full
directions with Pinex. 1t keeps perfectly
and tastes good.
1t takes hold of the usual cough or
chest cold at once and conquers it in %
hours. Splendid for whooping cough;
bronchitis and winter coughs.
It's truly astonishing how quickly it
loosens the dry, hoarse or tight cough
and heals and soothes the infamed mem.
branes in the case of a painful cough.
1t also stops the formation of phlegm in
ing the persistent loose cough.
pinex is highly concentrated COM
pound of genuine Norway pine extract,
combined with guaiacol, and has been
used for generations to heal inhamed
membranes of the throat and chest.
To avoid disappointment, ask your
druggist for "2 ounces OF Pinex," and
don't accept anything else. A guarantee,
OF absolute satisfaction, or money prompt
