forces with the America. league to run the Baltimore team. McGraw's break with Ban Johnson disrupted that combine, and Bobby resumed business. A couple of years ago Mo Graw hired his old pal as a sort of assistant manager of the Giants and coach of young pitchers.
 He returned to the game bit fat ter, @ bit more serious and business like, and he did really valuable work for McGraw in working with the pitch CTS, and more in smoothing over the rather difficult passages between Mo- Graw and some of his players
 McGraw was his sponsor as mana ger at Brooklyn, and last year Rob- inson worked hard, and finally got his team going.
 The one strong point in his favor is that his men are extremely loyal to him.
 Under McGraw Robinson learned to bark at a hstless player occasionally. and if he only adds bite or two he may drive that team to where it should be. It is good ball club, if driven to the limit.
 Robinson is one of the best of judges of young players, especially pitchers, and his patience and kindly encouragement helps the youngsters. He shows excellent judgment in choosing pitchers for certain games, and watches their form closely.
Williams news., 1915-09-02

Wilbert Robinson, who is guiding the destinies of the Brooklyn Dodgers, Is one of the most hkable, one of the cleanest, jolliest and most loyal of men.
 This year Robinson has a ball club which, on paper, shows class. Either McGraw or Stallings or Mack could take it and probably win a pennant, and yet it will surprise the judges if 1t finishes one, two, three.
 It is partly because Bobby is too good natured and not mean" enough to be real inspirer and leader of men.
 Bobby was the one calm, peaceful element in the old Baltimore Orioles. He was the "jollier'' of umpires and the one who whispered the condo fences, with the accent on the con, while a dozen of the McGraw, Brodie, Jennings, Kelly, Stenzel crowd yawped and snarled.
 Bobby was everybody's friend of battle all the time. He was the peacemaker on. the. bench, the real friend of all.
 He likes people, and they like him which, as Jimmy Block remarked, don't get you nowhere nor nothin' in baseball"
 After the smash-up of the 12-club league Bobby and McGraw went into business in Baltimore and later united

GAIN BY RETRENcHING

"Retrench! Retrench!" is the cry heard everywhere in baseball this season, and who is there to say that it will not :, eventually lead to better things on the diamond? For one thing, it is likely to do away with, the big punches of bench-warmers, players retained for one thing or another but seldom appear ing in the daily lineup, writes Lou Dougher in the Washington Times. Baseball has had phe- nomenal success in recent years. It has grown more and more luxurious. Teams carried extra pinch hitters, pitchers for practical purposes, speedy run ..ners to .replace slower ones in tight places, coachers for pitch CTS, catchers, infielders, and out fielders, veteran sign-grabbers. etc, etc. But the caliber of the game did not increase with this addition to the teams. If a team. carries ten pitchers, as some have done, they can't all>appear in turn. Four or five backstops usually means two or three idlers. Five or six outfielders means each plays half a sea son at full seasons salary. It is barely possible that the rad ical cut of National league teams to 21 men this season came altogether too much with out warning, but the league is sure to be the better for it. If the armies of idlers are to be replaced with small bands of men working hard for victory, then baseball will have gained by the retrenchment policy now in vogue everywhere.

MORAL TONIC FOR THE BOYS
Game-Directs Surplus Energy Into Right Channel.

Arthur Macdonald, a well-known scientist of Washington. said the other day:
 T consider baseball one of the great est moral tonics for boys and young men that exists. It directs the sur plus physical energy of youth into the right channel, for otherwise this energy might. be employed in wrong ways whichs are detrimentafato moral and physical life. Baseball is. one of those fundamental educational. forces of prevention whose power and utility are not realized until 1t is taken away.
 "Our national and manly game has so peFmeated the mind and nervous system of the boys and young men that there are very few.who could not pass better examination on baseball than on any of the studies in school" This being perfectly true there is no chance for the game to die out, no matter how much it may be abused by grasping and thoughtless magnates and players. There are some people who see permanent lessening of in- terest in the national sport on account of tie activities of the Federal league, which has caused some lack of confl- dence in the professional end of the game. But there are plenty of signs that this disgust is only temporary. Crowds are thronging back to the parks as it becomes evident that major league ball is being conducted strict ly on the level and for the interest of the spectators.

A Telephone Quirk.

Did you ever notice that if you place the transmitter of the telephone against your chest, instead of before your mouth. it makes no apparent diff ference to your auditor? If you are talking over a desk instrument, it is often easier to hold it against the chest than to the mouth. Simply hold the transmftter to your chest and talk into the open air. The entire chest wall vibrates in unison with the voice and will transmit the sound vi brations over the telephone as well as your voice.-The American Boy.

REWARD OF DISHONESTY

Once upon a time," began the teacher, two little broth CTS started to Sunday school one Sunday morning. Their way led past a fine orchard where the trees were bending down with ripe, luscious apples. One of the brothers proposed going into the orchard and get ting some fruit, but the other refused and sped away, leaving his companion greedily devour- ing the apples.
 Now, it happened that the owner of the orchard saw them, and the next day rewarded the good boy who refused to steal his apples by giving him a shil- ling. He got a prize for his hon. esty, and what do you suppose the other boy got for his dis honestly"
 "He got the apples" yelled every member of the class Anaconda Standard.

Western League Troubles.

Frank Isbell says the solution of the Western league financial troubles is to make the league a Class B circuit. He says the league would give the fans just as good ball as they now get, and the cost would be a great deal less. The salary limit in the league now is $2,S00. If it were a Class E league, the limit would be $2,000 a month. This would mean a saving of almost $1,0OO a month to every club in the league.

 cal Health.

The experience of Motherhood is . tzy. Ing one to most women and marks dis tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one woman in . hundred is prepared or un- derstands how to properly care for her. self. Of course nearly every woman nowadays has medical treatment It such times, but many approach the experi- ence with an organism united for the trial of strength, and when it is ovee her system has received . shock from which it is hard to recover. Following right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child,. and . distinct change in the mother results.
 There is nothing more charming than ahappy and healthy mother of children, and indeed childbirth under the right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable thing b that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an unprepared condition, and with am- pie time in which to prepare, women will persist in going blindly to the trial
 Every woman at this time should rely upon Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, . most valuable tonic and invigorator of the female organism.
