BILE AND BILIOUSNESS

Coated tongue, bitter taste in the
mouth, indigestion, headache, lack of
appetite, constipation and . feeling of
fatigue are effects of excessive secretion
of bile.
This condition iscalled biliousness and
points directly to the need OF something
to regulate the liver. For this purpose
Pinklets, the new laxative, are greatly
superior to old-fashioned liver medicines
which over-stimulate the liver and, when
their use is stopped, leave it more torpid
than before. Pinklets are tiny, sugar.
coated granules that do not upset the
stomach or cause gripping.
Write the DR.. Williams Medicine Co,
Schenectady, N. Y, for free sample or
get full-size 25-cent bottle OF Pinklets
from your own druggist.

Walker Cast off by Federals,
Can't Play in Organized Ball

Fred Walker is making one grand
kick against the Federal League. The
former Brooklyn pitcher IS in the sad
plight OF being out in the cold after
takfn ga one,year flyer at the Federal
League game. Though one OF the I'm.
Bst athletes physically in the land and
In the prime OF his baseball career,
Walker has nowhere to turn.
Tho portals OF organized ball are
closed TO Kim; the Feds are overstock-
ed with players. The minor leagues
being part and parcel OF organized
ball can offer the big pitcher no relief.
Walkers case is n most striking
instance of what has come to many
players in the last two years. He had
great prospects as a major league
pitcher. but, like Allen, he had hard
luck with the Dodgers.
Appeals TO President Gilmore.
Doc Gessler. while managing the
local Feds. induced Walker to sign n
contract. and, according to the pitcher.
it was stipulated that another contract
would be rendered him at the expira,
ton of the first.
The PittfeG5 would not sign Walker
and Fred appealed to President Gil
more. Gilmore, it is said. accused
Walker of having been drirker and q
disturber, though the fact Is known
throughout the country, and in college
and baseball circles that Walker new.
er touched drop OF liquor in his life.
The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1915-04-28

Walker next appealed to President
Ward OF the Brookfeds and at his own
expense Fred made the trip to Missis-
sippi, where the club was training. Lee
Magee told Walker that he would like
to take him. but as his club already
was carrying 13 pitchers he could not
do business with him. Manager Phil
lips OF the Newark club made the
same statement.
Cakes Admits Pitcher Has Ability.
Walker claims that after he had
made another plea to the Pittfeds
management. Manager Cakes admitted
Walkers ability as a pitcher. but
would not state why he had not offer
ed him n new contract 1t is said that
the big pitcher had some words with e
club official last season. and that this
may have something to do with his
trouble. This is denied by the local
management, which claims that Wal
ker. Ike many others. did not have
any too much success last year.
Here / am in first class shape and
spent $3.50 OF my own money TO get
in condition. said Walker. I have
taken care of myself all my life and
tried my best and yet here l stand
like some O5traci2ed criminal with the
gates OF employment in my baseball
profession closed to me-"
Walker will endorse the statement
that a baseball war is Just what Sher-
man said about the other stuff.

Chicago is Loyal
TO the White S0x
FANS, THOUGH, ARE DIsAPPOINT.
ED IN SHOWING OF TEAM
THIS YEAR.

CHICAGO, April 2S-Southside fans
who form the bulk of the White Sox
rooters in this town, still are loyal to
the tribe OF Comiskey. Their loyalty
toward the white.hosed baseball war
riors still is given unwaveringiy.
But they are somewhat disappointed
boss haven't quite measured up to the
high standard set for them by their
loyal rooters.
That standard was the pennant from
the very start of the season. Around
about April Il you couldn't mention
the Red SoX, Washington or Tigers in
the same breath with the clan of Com
iskey to any of these White Sox fans.
They scofred at the idea of the Sox not
being invincible with the great Eddie
Collins in their lineup and the reliable
Sox twirlinE staff.
But those six straight defeats adj
ministered to the Sox in st. Louis and
Detroit before the team opened at
home took the wind right out of the
SoX rooterS.
Sox followers had counted too much
on the hitting prowess of Eddie Col
Inns. Happy Fetch, Bobby Roth, Jack
Fourier and Bunny Brief, the speed
of Quinlan and the all around mana
gerial ability of Pants Rowland.
The Sox have been rounding to late
ly and they are bound to be up in the
race yet with such a sextet Of good
twirlers as Russell. Benz. Scott, CT
cote. Wolfgang. Faber and Jasper,
not to mention the clubs really crack
ing good aggregation of pill swatters.
