 Now Leading Fed Swatter

Vincent Campbell, the former Ma tione1 League outhe1der. who is now one of the swatting stars of the Feds, wi be 27 years old today, having been born on August 2e, 1888 The big Son of Swat is 9 native of St. Louis, and this is. his ninth season in professional baseball
 stVin's'' first enga cement as a paid artist of the diamond was in BartIetts- vile. an Oklahoma oil town, where he played in the Oklahonna-Arkansa Qansas League, now defunct, in 1907. He didn't make any great uproar in the baseball world. for his batting av- craze was only .275 and his fielding not of a character to attract the at tention of the big league scouts. CampbelIs best point in those days was his speed. When he unIiTnbered his long legs he could sprint like a Kansas jackrabbit, and they used to say in BartlesvilIe that Win once out ran one of those interesting 1ongeared animals.
 In 1908 Campbell played with the Vanderbilt University nine, although his amateur standing was pretty

Left Flanders Have
 Poor Year in Majors
 With Few Exceptions

Left-handed pitchers are having
 very poor season so far this year
 Those who were stars in their respect
 i've leagues last season have not been showing their old time form thus far. Nearly all the big run totals and the
 hitting records of the year in the two
 big leagues have been made against
 left handlers to say nothing of long strings of bases on balls iIterspersed with wild pitches and hit batsmen It, is possible, of course, that the port wings will lose some of their kinks after protracted spell of good old

 Several teams wi tn pennant aspir- ations based much of their hopes lsWherzth the campaign began on expect their leadip left handlers come through. / .z The one big disappointment of, the, champ pion Boston Braves is George Tyders the Ieft-hander swllo ranked right with Dick Rudolph and Bill through the National League last sea- son. He has been worse than indif-
 ferent in his showing this year. The Brooklyn Dodgers, a team of great potential strength, will go no higher than last year unless the two The come back of Jack Coonlbs, veteran discard of the Athletics, has
 been a windfall for the team. as also has been the uncovering of a sensa- l ton ins Wheezer Dell. Both these fol- lowers have been doing great mound
 work, and Jeff Pfener, the leading
 slabman of the team last year, has
 begun to exhibit his former effective ness.

 mixtures of good and bad to be found

 Only few 1eft-handers have been delivering the goods as they should l -.RebeP' Russell of the White sox will be quite a factor in his clubs success l if he can keep on as at present, and may even mean the difference be- I tween a fair team and a flag winner. George Pierce and Jim Vaughan of the Cubs have gone along in fine shape, and Manager Roger Bresnahan
 can congratuIate himself on being about the only man in the world that has two really good ~1eft-handers this fyear Harry. Coveleskie has been a big noise for the Detroit Tigers. Joe IBoeh1ing's work for the Washin gton Senators has been well above par. Ihese last few mentioned are enough to keep the iu-fortune of the left lander from being unaniIaous but some of their fellows will t6ve sdo perk up if the brigade as a whole is going to land up with or ahead of the right handlers for the year.

1000 ATTEND HILLS
REVIVAL OPENING
Party Rests Today; Tabernacle
Much Like the One at
Harrisburg

Members of the Hills evangelistic
party are resting to-day after yester-
days gruelling work in connection
with the dedication of the tabernacle
at Second street and Buser's run.
There will be no services in the
tabernacle this evening. Tomorrow,
however, the campaign will begin in
earnest. The Rev. Mr. Hills will take
for his subject "A Tragedy in Four
Acts"
Yesterdays opening meetings were
attended by fully $500 people from
Steelton and vicinity. The tabernacle,
with seating capacity of $500, was,
we'll filed at both services. The taber-
nacle is built on~ the order of the
Slough campaign building at Harris
burg a few months ago. Every bit of
the seating capacity will be utilized and
no stoves will be erected, as the COM
mittee has decided that they will not
be necessary. However, arrangements
have been made for the installation
of number of large electric fans.
AT the dedicatory exercises the Rev..
c. B. Segelken, pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church, chairman of the
executive committee, presided: the
Rev. e. J. Higgins. pastor of East

THE PRICE OF SUCCESS

Many people pay terrible price for
success. sacrificing for it. health and
happiness. Neurasthenia, a typically
American disease, is due to worry over
the struggle for success more than to
any other one thing.
Neurasthenia is a condition of nerv-
Gus exhaustion in which the system
fails to recuperate after unusual de-
mands upon it's nervous energy. Its
symptoms are oversensitiveness, irri-
liability, "a disposition to worry over
trifies, headache, possibly nausea.
The treatment is one of nutrition of
the nerve cells, requiring a nonalco-
holic tonic AS the nerves get their
nourishment from the blood, the treat
ment must be directed towards build
ing up the blood. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills act directly on the blood and with
proper regulation of the diet have
proved of the greatest benefit in many
cases of neurasthenia. A tendency to
anemia. or bloodlessness, shown by
most neurasthenic patients. is also cor
rected by these tonic pills. Your own
druggist sells DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
Begin the treatment to-day before
your condition becomes chronic.
Two useful books, Diseases of the
Nervous System" and What to Eat
and How to Eat" will be sent free by
the DR.. Williams Medicine Co,
Schenectady. n. Y, IL you mention this
