How He Saw the Louvre.

A French literary man fell in with
one of the new order of American
commercial men the other night and
asked him if he had seen the sights
of Paris.
YES" he said, "but find that the
police have closed most of the sights.
"Oh, no." said his literary friend
the real sights of Paris, the monu
ments, are always open = the Pan
theon, Notre Dame, the lnvalides, the
Madeleine and the Louvre"
"Ah, yes. have seen the Louvre
thoroughly"
Thoroughly" said the French
homme de lettres in surprise, recall
ing the labyrinthian vastness of the
Louvre collection, land how long did
it take you?"
Fully an hour" was the reply
which has left the Frenchman puz
zled ever since.

TRiCKERY IN CATCHERS
Resort to Subterfuge to Worry
Batters Into Tanning.
DOOM Has Been Extremely Successful
in Getting Players Angry--Lou Cri-
ger Kept Up Constant Stream
of Chatter.

The catcher has been the center of
trickery in baseball from the days
when they used to stretch rubber
bands across their hands, and, by
swapping them at the right moment,
esed to deceive the umpire into call
ing "foul tip-batter out.
Johnny King was a great catcher
and was also full of tricks. He was
always quiet, but when he talked he
usually did so in a sympathetic and
friendly tone of voice. Frequently his
quick utterance of "hit it, would re-
suit in the batter making hard, fu-
tile swing at the ball.
King used to gain the confidence
Of batters by telling them what was
coming while they stood at the plate
OF course they all were suspicious
and would not believe him, but before
long he could say, Here comes fast
one right across the middle" and the
ball would cut the heart of the plate
unmolested BY work such as this
he threw batters entirely off their
stride and had them guessing.
Scarcely less discouraging was the
constant line of talking of Louis Cri-

"Yep," said Mr.. Growcher; nothing

earth produces may serve some useful
purpose, if you can only find out what
it is. There is whole lot to think
about in that story OF the mouse

Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid trou-
bles bring misery to many. When
the kidneys are weak or diseased,
these natural filters do not cleanse
the blood sufficiently, and the poisons
are carried to all parts of the body.
There follow depression, aches and
pains, heaviness, drowsiness. irrita-
bility, headaches, chilliness and rheu-
matism. In some people there are sharp
pains in the back and loins, distressing
bladder disorders and sometimes obsti-
nate dropsy. The uric acid sometimes
forms into gravel or kidney stones.
When the uric acid affects the muscles
and joints it causes lumbago, rheuma-
tism, govt or sciatica. This is the time

GOLF is GROWING IN LEAPS
Eastern Expert Sees Increase in Wonn-
ems and Juniors Journeys
Three Main Points.

Although the royal and ancient game
of golf is growing in leaps and bounds
throughout the United States, the
rapid advance, numerically, cannot be
confined to any one class of devotees,
says an eastern golf expert. 1t is a
universal and healthy growth. No
man will subscribe to stock to con.
struct country club as mere fad.
It must be permanent or at least
stable. But here are three points to
be considered regarding the growTl of
golf in this country in the last Year.
THE first is the increase in the number
bf country clubs, the second is the
added interest in golf events for wOm-
en-, and the third is the remarkable
Increase in junior golf.

Umpire Kept Quite Busy.

Umpiring games in four states with

ord Bill Friel made in the American
association in the closing week of the
season. He was in Minneapolis to
start off, worked one game there and
was transferred to Indianapolis. One
game there and orders came to him to
go to Louisville. A day there and he
was sent to Columbus. Apparently
the lean season in the A. A. did not
extend to the railroads.

During the public inspection of a
Red Cross hospital train on tour
through Scotland thousands of people
passed through the barrier at one par
ticular station and came out at a diff

Open-eyed, a countryman stood at
the entrance watching the crowds. At
length he burst out to bystander:

Objects to Hiuh Prices.

President Hedges of the st. Louis
Browns is quoted as indorsing Clark
Griffith's idea that no club should be
allowed to dispose of player after
the season opens for more than the
waiver price and that the disposition
of the player shall be decided on by
lot.
Mr.. Hedges takes this stand in spite
of the fact that he made two profitable
deals for James and Laudermilk, sold
to Detroit. He says he believes this
action was wrong, but that as other
club owners were selling to contend-
ers and he needed the money IS
much as they, he felt justified.
