stage where he is holding his own
with the best of the game. 1t. took
lot of work and determination on
the part of Jasper to achieve this
feat, and both qualities are necessary
to the makeup of big league pitcher.
Bobby Roth doesn't look bad as a
third baseman. He fields compare
lively well and bats Importantly. His
fielding, of course, will improve with
practice. Outfelders are not con-
verted into third basemen of the Nc
Graw and Jimmy Collins type over
night
But, even should Roth fail in the
defensive portion of his endeavor, it
is possible Manager Rowland would
try out another fellow before going
back to Jimmy Breton. And that fell
low is Russell Blackburne, who has
been almost overlooked in the scram-
BILE for positions this spring.
The left side of the diamond is
Blackburne's home. He was never
comfortable at second base and did
not have an opportunity to show his
full worth His time in the minors
after being sent back by the White
Sox was spent at short. And in that
job he made himself star.
His fielding this season has been
fully up to the standard set by Buck
Weaver, which is about as high a
compliment as can be slipped any
one. At third base Blackburne would
cover the position like a shortstop,
and he and Weaver would make it
difficult to poke hits through their
territory.
Of course, if Roth succeeds, it will
not be necessary to give Blackburne

of course they couldn't even beat the
Cards.
When Vaughn gets battered it is
time to worry. He is the only pitcher
on active duty who has shown abil-
ity to cope with even the weak attack
being offered by the western clubs of
the National league, There are no
men in the background who can be
rushed to the front for a rescue and
the team must simply rattle along,
hoping to bat out victory by main
strength.
Frank Schultz busted a home run
in the first inning, but in the fifth he
thought slowly and spiked chance
for several runs. Meadows, the spec
tacled pitcher, couldn't see the plate,
even with his powerful glasses, and
started walking parties with gay
abandon. Two were out when he
staked Fisher to pass, forcing in. a
run. Up came Schultz and drew
ball. Then Meadows accidentally
stuck one over, the first in seven
throws. Schultz biffed at it and flied
out the side.
In that position Frank could have
afforded to wait at least for one more
strike. The young pitcher was in
bad straits and apparently getting
worse. He was digging pit for him.

WHAT TO DO FOR
YOUR ITCHING SKIN

Eczema, ringworm and other Itch
ing, burning skin eruptions are SO
easily made worse by improper treat
mept that one has to be very careful.
There is one method, however, that
you need not hesitate to use, even on
a baby's tender skin-that is the
resinol treatment. Resinol is the pre-
scription OF a Baltimore doctor, put
up in the form of resinol ointment
and resinol soap. This proved so re-
markably successful that thousands OF
other physicians have been prescrib-
ing it constantly for 20 years.
Resinol stops itching instantly, and
almost always heals the eruption
quickly and at little cost Resinol ONT
ment and resinol soap can be bought
at any druggists and are not at all
expensive. Great for sunburn.-Ady.

children from the home, and in order to
get them she is required to send certif-

thank you to sign it, making it as strong

There is no longer any doubt that pei
lagra can be cured. Don't delay until It
is too late. It is your duty to consult the
resourceful Baughn.
The symptoms-hands red like sunbnrn;
skin peeling off, sore mouth, the lips,
throat and tongue a flaming red, with
much mucus and choking; indigestion and
neausea, either diarrhoea or constipation.
There is hope; get Baughn's big Free

remedy for Pellagra that has at last been
found. Address American Compromising

Thursday Of last week at 8 o'clock at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. John At
kins of Brunswick, when their daugh-
ter Hattie united in marriage to Mr..
Ralph Strong, also of Brunswick. A
corner of the parlor was beautifully
banked with ferns and flowers, over
which was suspended from an arch a
bell made Of white carnations. While
the wedding march was being played
by Mrs. Schmidt Of Cleveland, the
bride-to-be, wearing veil and a beau
tiful dress Of net over white silk and
carrying a bouquet Of lilies and white
roses, was led to the front of the arch
by her father, while the groom ap-
peared at the same time from another
room. Meeting together and facing
Rev. Peoples, pastor Of the M. E.
church, at Brunswick, the marriage
vow, including the ring ceremony, was
taken in the presence Of about fifty
guests.
After the ceremony and congratula-
