 He took the place of Norman Coyle of Coal Hill, Ark, who since has joined the Waco club of the Texas league and has been setting the circuit on fire.
 "Coyle was dead timber with Mem phis. He wasn't over keen about play ing here in the first place, and he didn't care rap whether he hit or not. In the field he was about as vivacious an individual as a cigar store Indian, and off the field he was the same way.

DRINKERS DEATH RATE HIGH.

Startling evidence of the effect of
alcohol on the moderate drinkers is
offered by the Life Extension insti-
tute. The bulletin issued to its mem
bers shows that in one Canadian and
three British life insurance companies
the mortality among so-called moder-
ate drinkers, accepted as temperate
and healthy risks, exceeded the death
rate among the abstainers by rs, 81,
SO and Al per cent, respectively.
New data was recently compiled by
forty-three American life insurance
companies, covering a period of TWEEN
ty-five years. with the following re-
suits: Steady moderate drinkers, ac-
cepted as standard risks, death rate SO
per cent above the average. Former
drinkers admitting past excesses),
death rate so per cent above the aver
age. Very moderate drinkers, Is per
cent above the average.
Experimental laboratory work."
says the board of scientific authorities,
has kept pace with statistical investi-
cation, and the knowledge gained from
the laboratory, not only in experiments
on animals, but on man himself, shows
that higher death rate among alco-
hol users is what we would naturally
expect to find In the light of what we
know regarding its effects on the
body"
