the telephone message is not a voice. or

In all the world there is probably no
that causes more unhap-
piness than jealousy. Jealousy ends
friendships, destroys love and makes
faith and trust and confidence stink away
from the knowledge Of the human who
is guilty of jealousy.
Jealousy causes misery TO the point Of
insanity and dictates all sorts Of crimes.
II destroys all power Of judging and
weighing things-it makes 1t impossible
to give the proper value to circumstances
and II magnifies trifles until they seem
like events Of the greatest importance.
Jealousy is like a weed in a garden.
And where II is found other weeds spring

is jealous OF her husband. She rapidly be

American silks have long been noted for

once the demand IS created, there is no

materials Of which modern costumes are

There are esthetic reasons, too. why

VETERAN HEAVERS
LEAD IN LEAGUES
Mathewson and Plank Keep
Fast Pace Despite Long
Service.
BY FRANK G. MENkE.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The baseDall
public is being treated again to rain
or thrilling spectacle-of seeing the
veteran slabmen in the American ana
National Leagues practically heading
their respective organizations.
Mathewson, Of the Giants, has been
up around the top of the old league
since the season began and looks
right now as II he will have the great
est year in his IA year history as DIG
Aeaguer.
And Plank also in his fourteenth
year has been pitching better article
OF ball than at any time since he look
up quarters under the big tent. 1t mas
been his work that has kept the Atm
letics in the front and may win the
pennant for them. When others on the
Athletic pitching roster have failed,
Plank has delivered-Plank the vet,
who was counted down and out nan
dozen years ago by the wise men OF
baseball.
This seems to be a great year for
recruit infielders. Among those VINO
have arrived" accompanied by many
plaudits, are Stock of the Giants, kav-
anaugh of the Tigers, O'Mara OF the
Dodgers, Leary and Wares OF the
Browns, Nirhoff of the Reds and Burns
Of the Tigers.
The strangest part of it is that not
one of these were heralded as OF big
league calibre. They were known to
have certain ability but the ability
looked to be on the bush league or
der-that is until they were given a
chance. And then they came through
with a rush.
Stock Plugs Hole.
Stock has plugged up the big hole
at third left by the desertion OF Tally
Shafer. The Giants never have missed
Shafer since the season opened.
O'Mara looks like one of the best
shortstops in the National League.
Early in the season Eggets thought
SO little of him that he was thinking
Of letting him loose without giving
him chance to perform. But DICK
Egan Cracked" and Ebbetts gave
OMara a cnance. Now you couldn't
buy O'Mara from c. Holiday for $2O,
900.
Leary and Wares have been two OF
the biggest factors in the uplift OF
the Browns. They have played in sen
sational style, are peppery and in the
game every minute.
Burns and Kavanaugh have given
the needed strength to the Tigers in
field They are as fast as lightning or
the field and both are timely hitters
NierhOff has been a great help to the
Reds.
Quite a number of persons who
scoffed at Bill Carrigan's remarks two
months ago have ceased the scoffins
business Bill, while in Chicago, said
The Red Sox still have a fine
chance to cop the penant."
At that time Bills team was in thu

rection of the top it was headed thu
other way. And then came the turn.
