PITCHERS ON EQUAL FOOTING
Worlds Series Teams Have Same
Number of Moundmen.
ATHLETICS WEAK LAST YEAR
Plank and BENDER Only Dependable
Men Then-Each Nine Has at
Least Eight Splendid
TwirIers Now.

NEW YORK. oct. $50 far as the
numerical strength of the pitching staff
OF the Philadelphia Athletics and Boston
Braves are concerned, the rival league
pennant winners will enter the worlds
series on equal terms Each club has at
least eight pitchers who can be called
into action. but II is not likely. however
that more than 50 per cent OF this hurl-
ing staff Will step to the mound during
the coming diamond conflict.
Last year before the worlds series be-
gan the only weakness in the Athletics
appeared to be in the pitchers box. Plank
and Bender were the only twiriers who
could be counted upon with reasonable
certainty. Providing Bender and Plank
have not lost any of their speed and cum
ming, and they have been consistent win
ners throughout this years American
league campaign, Mack is better fortified
with pitchers than he was a year ago.
Besides the two veterans he has Bush,
shAwlNey wyckoff. Pennoek and Bressler.
During the great squirt OF the Athletics
in the last half of July and all of August
when the team won thirty-nine out of
torty-five games. all these pitchers
worked in regular turn and pitched good.
steady ball.
Impressed with BressIer.
Fans who have ben watching the work
of the Athletics have been impressed with
the work OF Bressler, the newest twirler
or the team. He has been as steady as
a clock, has great speed and a pushing
cross-fire ball that has earned him the
title OF the second Eddie Plank" The
Athletics will go into the series with none
OF the twirlers overworked. The only
man who showed any sign of wear on
the last western trip was Plank. He has
since rested and is expected to be In his
old-time form. Coombs. although he APP
peared in a few Of the final games OF the
season. Is not likely to figure in the title
series. since he has not fully recovered
from his long illness. pa,
The trio OF pitchers whose consistent
work carried the Braves from last TO first
place in the rush for the National league
pennant Is expected TO carry the twirlinE
burden for Boston in the games against
the Athletics. In James. Rudolph and
Tyler StaIlings has three hish-class hurl-
ers. In the Braves second string Strand
Davis and Cochreham are fairly depend
able pitchers. providing their teammates
are hitting well, and II may be that one
or more OF this trio may sec service dur
ing the coming struggle. Hess and
Crutcher complete the Braves regular
staff. but their showing this season ha'
not been above the ordinary.

Sturdy Fists Just as Important as
Anything Else About Pugilist.
TELL TALE IN LONG FIGHTS
Many a Bitterly Contested Match
Has Been Won Entirely Upon
winners Ability to Keep
KnucLIes stir!

NEW YORK, Oct. I'm sizing up a
candidate for ring honors IL is usual TO
lay much stress upon the depth OF his
chest the spread OF his shoulders and
the character of the muscles on his arms
and legs. But there is one all-important|
point that is invariably overlooked. That
is the size and construction OF his hands.
Yet no boxer can hope 10 60 far unless
his weapons are of the best:
Brittle hands seem to have been the
main cause of Ad Wolgasts troubles.
wolgast's weapons have been reduced to
pulpy state from his long, hard bat
ties He always was a desperate slug
ger, who took all sorts of chances of In
juring his knuckles by landing his mad
swings on his opponents skull or elbows,
Both his hands have been broken So
often they will no longer stand the strain
OF a twenty-round battle.
Charley White is another who is handi-
capped by weak hands. White is a more
careful boxer than wolgast, but his
hands are very delicately constructed,
For this reason White may never prove
great success in long battles and the
fact may. cost him the championship.
Willie Richie, on the other hand. is
gifted with pair OF fists that would not
look out OF place on heavyweight.
Richie owes much OF his success pri-
marily to this circumstance. 1t is one
OF the reasons why he shows to better
advantage in long fights AS general
thing a boxers hands begin to weaken
after ten rounds have been fought. It
Is then that. the man with the strongest
fists gains a tremendous advantage. and
many a hard-fought battle has been lost
or won in the closing rounds when one of
the contestants was rendered helpless by
his hands collapsing under the strain
Hands Not sound.
Battling Nelson would still be doing
violent work in the ring IL his hands
were still sound. To the last Nelson's
wonderful endurance has remained intact.
Only this month Nelson took on a young
ster out west and outclassed him in a
smuggling match. in which the veteran
wore down his younger foe, just as he
beat Cans, Britt. Young Corbett and
others years ago. But Nelson's hands
are no longer lit for service now. and as
a result he is nothing more than a punch

SEVERE RHEUMATIC
PAINS DISAPPEAR

Rheumatism depends on an acid
in the blood, which affects the
muscles and joints, producing in
fammation, stiffness and pain. This
acid gets into the blood through
some defect in the digestive process.

blood tonic, is very successful in the
treatment of rheumatism. 1t acts

When G. B. Kirkpatrick was first asked by his many friends and associates to permit his name to be used for the office of Council man he refused. But they insisted and now he is in the race. His wide experience in m u nicipal affairs should especially fit him for the position of councilman. He has been a close observer of the business conditions of Williams for more than three years, and no doubt his experience and judgment would add much in the way of conducting the business end of the administration. He believes that the same economy should be used in conducting the affairs of the town as in-ones own business. If elected to the position of council man he pledges himself that he will use his efforts to give the town a business administration.
