ssRABBFr'' MEANWHILE ONE OF THE SHORTEST
 MEN IN BASEBALL

While the minor leagues can dig up a few men a trifle briefer in stature than Walter J. Maranvil1e, the short stop of the Braves, the stRabbft,'' is certainly entitled to rank as one of the shortest fellows in nnajorSleague spangles. It is understood, of course, that this shortness refers to his alti- tude, and not to his financial condi- ton. When it comes to the long green Walter Is in no immediate danger of having to pass the hat, for the ma jor part of his baseball earnings is said to have been safely sa.1ted away. and on occasion he ekes out his in come by play-acting on the stage.
 Maranvil1e, who will begin his 18th year tomorrow, is said to be shade shorter than Donie Bush, the stellar shortstop of the Detroit Tigers, but
 to the nude and naked eye, they are of about the same height. Five feet and four inches is what Maranville measures, and a careful search of baseball records has failed to reveal major league star of recent years whose head was any nearer the ground. The ancients used to wonder at the prowess oe such a little chap as Wee Willie heeler, famous with the old Baltimore Orioles and Brook lyn Superbas, but Keeler stood five

feet and six inches and wasn't at all in the same class with Marany1Ile ana Bush. Tommy Leach is also called a midget, but he towers two inches above the shortstop of the Braves. Ed die Burns, the backstop of the Phil lies! is another player who measures five feet six At the beginning of his professional career Eddie was re- leased by the Sacramento club of the Coast League because the manager considered him too short. Stengel, the Brooklyn outfelder, IS another player who has managed to deliver the goods in the majors in spite of the fact that he is mighty short for his height. Slim Love, 6 feet 1-2 inches, of Los Ange5es, drafted by the Yankees, leads when it comes to the opposite extreme. The major league palm probably be longs to Carl Wei1rnan, the Tiger sla-y- CT of the St Louis Browns Carl is half a. foot over six feet, and he looks longer, and probably is longer, than any other player in the three majors. Pitcher EppaS zJeptha Rixey, of the Phil1ies-whof is a college man, as one might guess from his monaker- gives WeiIman a close race for the inches. Wheezer Dell, the Brooklyn twirler, is not exactly a dwarf, al- though he falls bit short of the measurements of WeiInnan and Rixey.
 Maranvflle, the midget of the game, was born Nov. II, 1891, in Springfield, Mass. He played ball with the school clubs of that city before breaking in- to the professional pastirne with New Bedford, in the New England league. That was in 1912, and in mid-season he was purchased by Boston.
 The Rabbit is not only the short est star of the diamond, but he holds the record for chances accepted on the short field. Tn 1914 Marapviue ac- cepted e80 chances. which is more than any shortstop had~ ever done in the history of the game. The best record previous to 1914 was made by Allen, of the Phillies, away back in 1892, when he accepted 955 chances. Maranvi1le's record at short came | near to equalling Lajoie's second base record, made in 1908. of 968 chances i accepted.
 Maranvil1e's father was a policeman and Walter was engaged in learning l the tinsrnith's trade before he decided l to take up professional baseball

"DoNT'S'' FOR MEN IN THE FORTIEs.

In the. October American Magazine a contributor writes an entertaining and helpful article entitled Growing Young at F1fty.'' This man tells how he was old at forty-six, with death just around the corner. At fifty he is ten years younger, more youthful, just through obeying a few simple rules. In the following extract talk en from a conversation between this man and his doctor appear some Of the "dont's' for men in. the forties:
 ssThe things that I mustn't do or that must limit myself inN doing were numerous. lot of them had to do with diet. Hot breads, pie crust, fried things were utterly ta- boo. Meats and the allowable things, however, were to be eaten in modera- tion [ should have but two meals day, preferably breakfast and din- ner. And if I got hungry in the meantime. I must content myself with a little fruit.

 No alcohol. you said suggest ed
 "A single glass of beer will not matter. occasionally he directed. But no cocktails, high-balls. or anything Of that sort.'''
 For breakfast I might have half a cup of coffee, and since I had been for years an almost constant smoker he would not take tobacco away al together. Twelve cigarettes and one cigar, however, were where he drew the, line.
 '' sModeration.' he concluded, .'is to be your Watchword in everything. Real moderation. And that doesn't t | mean leading a comparatively regular life for a month. or two months, or three months, and then jumping over all the fences in a single night. You are to lead a strictly regular life. day after day, week after week, year af- ter year. That's your sentence. And, believe me, you are not going. to- find it half as hard as you think you will

EXPECTS GASOLINE
PRICES TO SOAR,
(washington star.)

F'ifty-cent gasoline is the dark out look for automobilists inside of a year. according to c. B. Shaffer of Tulsa, Okla. an oil man, at the New AWil- lard.
 .'In the last month or six weeks the price of crude oil has advanced from 26 cents a barrel to 90 cents, and it is still going up,'' said MT. ssaaffer. sProspecs are that it will go to $2.5o inside of year for Oklahoma oil and $4 for Pennsylvania oil. This would cause gasoline to go up in price to figure never before known.
 Whats the reason for the in crease? The steady increase in the number Of automobiles. There are more than 2,o00. 900 automobiles in use in this country, and average of 700, 900 are being turned out every year. One. company manufactures nearly 50 per cent. of the total num- ber The average consumption of gasoline for automobile use is two gallons a day for each machine. This would make the total consuTnptio on 100000 gallons a day. The use of the fuel in launches, engines and oth- CT machines will bring the total daily consumption up to 5,50O,O0O.
 ''The daily output of crude petro- leum is approximately 2T6, ,09o barrels. and at an average of ten gallons of gasoline to the barrel the production of the latter each day is less than 5000, 900 gallons. Inasnuch as we are now using nearly twice that much each day, the reason for the advance in price may easily be seen. The large reserve supply of crude petro- ! leun has kept the price of gasoline and other products down, Had it not been for the discovery of the Cush- ing oil fields two years ago. it is prob able gasoline would have reached 50 cents a gallon long ago, for the Cush- ing fields produce almost 75 per cent of the total"
