Amos RuSie Sure Had
Fond Liking for Life
PreserverS on Boats

When Amos Rusie, regarded by many
as the greatest pitcher that ever
stepped into the box. became a Clan
he was a country boy, fresh from the
farm. This led his teammates to per
petrate many jokes at his expense. one
of the first came about when the team
made a trip to Boston soon after Rusie
Joined
The trip was made at night on the
Long Island Sound boats, Hardly were
the men aboard when several went over
TO him and discoursed solemnly on the
Amos" they told him finally. "to
protect yourself you must strap two
life preservers on you DO Il now. And
don't take them off until we're safely
tied mp at tho Fall River pier"
Rusie at once hustled around, found
around himself. He walked into the
dining room with them on He prone
naded the decks and walked through
the big cabins with the corks strapped
around his chest. And he slept-or
tried TO sleep-with the life preservers
belted around him.
The climax came al Fall River. Fear
Ing that the boat might even sink at
Its pier, Rusie refused 10 take the corlts
or when the boat was tying up He
attempted to walk across the gang
planks with them on, but was halted by
one Of the ships officials
Say. you can't get away with those
corks-put 'em back" ordered the
purser
He grabbed Rusie, but Amos broke
away rushed down the gangplank and
onto the pier Then, and only then,
did he unstrap the corks.
Here's your darned old preservers,"
he yelled throwing the corks back at
the purser. II don't want EN- any
more. I'm safe on land now"

ISN'T It odd how certain little Incl

Der of baseball club owners lost Their
equilibrium and several other arti-
fetal possessions in the mad scramble
for the said Mr.. Tinker.
All the organized magnates, at that
particular period, figured that Tinker
was one of the most valuable short
stopping persons in captivity. Pitts
burg wanted him, so did Philadelphia
The st. Louis Cardinals longed for
Tinker with a fervent longing. Ditto
for Brooklyn. A half dozen Ameri-
can League teams wanted Tinker, and
would have injected themselves into
the battle for Ttnker's services had
they felt there was a chance OF land
ing him. But there wasn't. Tinker
was on the auction block, all right,
but only National Leaguers' bids were
recognized.
owner of Tinker, assured the popu-
lace ever and anon that Tinker was
one of the greatest ball players in
these United States. c. Holiday Eb-
bets. president of the Brooklyn club,
agreed with the Ohio River resident,
and finally annexed the aforemention-
ed Tinker gentleman after agreeing
to the "nicking" of the Brooklyn
bank roll to the extent of $4,000,

And then JOY percolated in the
bosom of Mr.. Ebbets., He lifted his
voice to the siren pitch in trying to
tell everyone on this hemisphere the
harpooning of Tinker made it certain
Brooklyn would grab the 1914 Ma
tional League bunting.
Tinker is worth twice what I paid
for him." bleated Ebbets.
Up rose Frank Farrell. owner of
the New York Americans.
Tinker Is a wonderful ball player,
has wonderful skill in Transforming a
mediocre inf1eld into f1rst-class
combination and easily is worth
$4,000" asserted Farrell.
A short period later Tinker Topped
the loop and landed in the outstretch-
ed net of the Federal League anglers.
And then, in the twinkling of an op-
tic, the organized baseball crowds
idea as to Thinkers worth skidded off
about 80 44-100 per cent.
Taking 1t from the statements be-
Ing made here and there these days
by the organized persons, Tinker is

tests between America and England
were relieved to learn that Devereux
Milhurn will not follow the example
of Louis Stoddard and Harry Payne
Whitney and retire from the sport
before the match with the Hurting
ham team next summer.
Reports that Mr.. Milburn was to
quit because of the objections of his
bride. who was Miss Nancy Steele,
have been current. and coupled with
the retirement OF Messrs. Whitney
and Stoddard, caused considerable
anxiety among followers OF the game
These doubts weer dispersed when
Mrs. Milburn, at the Steele home in
Westbury. l.. l.. announced that her
husband would surely be one of the
American four next summer, provided
he maintained his winning style OF
play.

The Steele Milburn wedding was
one OF the society events of last fall.
The oashing star OF the polo field
who had won his bride with the In

rival OF Captain Vivian Lockett OF
the English team. Betting on the
outcome OF the match was rivaled by
society's wagers on the direction in
which Cupid was to guide Miss
Steele's heart
But when the Americans had trt-
umphed over the gallant English
men there was little doubt OF the
outcome. Devereux Milburn was.
more than any other. bright hgure
in the victory, and no one was sur
prised when the engagement was an
nounced few days later.

At the end of the 1895 season an
amateur team known as Hagan's
Tailors wanted the services of Tin
ker. Tinker wouldn't jump to their

Oswald talked the matter over at
great length, and they decided that
it would be a good plan to sell Tin
ker's services to the Tailors.
,"We'll go fifty fifty on what I get

Oswald set price of IS on Tinker.
The Hagan's Tailors decided that the

The attack made on the Athletic AS
ISOLATION officials by The Spectator,
the college paper. An editorial de-
nodnced the policy of the athletic
association as being impracticable,
unjust and ineffective.
The Spectator says: we. may as
well admit that it is impossible to
give a man his moneys worth without
football. 1t Is necessary. then, that
the lack Of this sport at Columbia be
made up by other advantages given
by membership. A member has no
participation whatever in the affairs
of the Athletic Association. In this
respect the new system of choosing
managers by appointment rather than
election has made matters worse"

take the time from play to empty
their bowels, which become clogged
up with waste. liver gets sluggish;
stomach sour.
Look at the tongue, motherl If
coated, or your child is listless, cross,
feverish, breath bad, restless, doesn't
eat heartily, full of cold or has sore
throat or any other children's ailment,
give a teaspoonful of California
Syrup of Figs" then don't worry, be-
cause 1t is perfectly harmless, and in
few hours all this constipation
poison, sour bile and fermenting
waste will gently move out of the
bowels, and you have a well, playful
child again. A thorough INSIDE
cleansing" is oftimes all that Is neces-
sary. 1t should be the first treat
ment given in any sickness.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups.

MEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Salts to flush Kidneys if
Back hurts or Bladder
bothers.

If You must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys
with salts occasionally, says a noted
authority who tells us that meat
forms uric acid which almost para
lyzes the kidneys in their efforts to
expel 1t from the blood They become
sluggish and weaken, then you suffer
with a dull misery in the kidney
region, sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach
sours, tongue is coated and when the
weather is bad you have rheumatism
twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full
of sediment, the channels often get
sore and irritated, obliging you to
seek relief two or three times during
the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then
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 sluggish kidneys, also
to neutralize the acids in urine, so it
no longer initiates, thus ending blad-
der weakness.
Jade Salts Is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, and makes delightful efferves-
cent Whitewater drink.
