Inside Baseball Is
 Still All Folderol

TT may sound extravagant. declara-
 ton that inside baseball is a joke. but that's what Roger Bresnahan, now minor league nagnate and manager of the Toledo American association club, contends. and Rogers word bears logic. writes a Toledo interviewer of the duke.
 The dukes argument is that quick thinking by three or four smart ball players in the pinches is the basis of been said. agrees that tHe inside stuff ole club.
 That crew, of which BreSnahan was a member. used to score the mental beats, but, according to Roger, every thing was accomplished without the aid of signs. It was all purely think stuff The athletes knew each others style and they worked together. They were quick witted and rarely missed an opportunity to provide little help when needed.
 Bresnahan doesn't believe that 8 manager, should do all the thinking for his players. He gives them credit for knowing something, and he wants them to use their think tank on every play.
 Leaders often go to extremes. Roger tells of one former major league boss who used to signal the ball on which the batter was supposed to swing. That's the limit.
 Intelligence is inside play, argues the duke. He isn't a bit cranky on errors, but he's certainly a, grouch on mental boots, and we won't blame him, for, between ourselves, the club that pulls the fewest bonerS is the one that wins the most games.

in the summer Often he comes from England, even though Americans quite generally abhor the way the English grip the racket for the backhand stroke and the deep volleying position Brit. ishers assume.
 At any rate, professionals are mak- ing good in this country The EnglisE pros are more and more adaptina themselves to the American hurry uE game, and the Americans are more and more succeeding in living down the fact that they are Americans and con sequently have not the glamour or for eign experts.
 Not so many years ago the pro was 9 thing practically unknown on these shores. He was as scarce as admission charges to tennis matches were then but in both things there is now q great amount of change. Few self re- specting tennis clubs can hold up theiI heads if they have no pro or no tour nament good enough to demand shekels for admittance to it.

Dreyfus Still
 Claims Sisler

THOUGH George Sisler is a regular
 member of the St. Louis Browns, Barney Dreyfuss. owner of the Pitts burgh club, is still claiming. him. though there is probably no chance of Sisler ever wearing a Pirate uniform.
 Year after year. however. Dreyfuss has gone to the powers that be with a claim that Sisler is his property. Just when a decision as to his case will be made cannot be guessed, but in the meantime the young player probably will continue to play with the Browns.
 The national commission has never made a decision in the Sisler case. In it's annual report in 1914 the commis- sion placed Sisler's name on the in- eligible list. This year Dreyfuss again sent Sislers name as one of his play CTS. The head of the Pittsburgh club claims that it has not been given a square deal by the commission In commenting on the case, Ralph S. Davis says:
 Considering everything, the manner in which the Sisler case has been con ducted is the greatest black eye the na- tiona1 commission has ever received. The chairman, Hermann, is responsi- ble for the present state of affairs"
 In the minor leagues. when a man ager has player that he fears will at tract too much attention from the scouts and who might be drafted he sometimes works a trick to retain the player for another year by putting the young star on the bench. This is known as towering up.''
 It is claimed that the same scheme was worked by the Cleveland club to prevent Wambsganss from being in cluded in the deal with Boston for Speaker. Wambsganss played a splendid article of ball for the Indians in the south this spring, and when the team came north Wambsganss was put on the bench and Evans sent to third base.
 It appears that when the Speaker deal was made Boston was given ten days in which to decide between Wambsganss and Thomas. By putting Wambsganss on the bench Boston was prevented from getting a line on that player while Thomas, who led the Southern league last year in home runs and stolen bases, looked good to the Red Sox. and the latter was select

captive in the early stages. For some unknown reason the big fellows never do acquire as much skill and science as the lighter men. Even Champion Will lard would be no better than a third rater if he were chopped down to light weight proportions. Because the heavies naturally are slow and clumsy they look particularly bad at first, and there are few experts who have not been badly fooled by some dub who looked like a champion or some real fighter who failed to impress at the outset of his career
 Even the veteran Tom O'Rourke, who is one of the best judges of fistic ma terial in the country, has made some bad blunders. A few years ago. when the hunt for man to beat Jack John son was at it's height, O'Rourke spent much time and attention in developing heavyweight capable of winning the big prize. At that time O'Rourke had the pick of all the young giants who headed for New York in search of f1s- tic fame. Yet O'Rourke pinned his faith to Al Palzer, and passed up both Frank Moran and Jess Willard the two big fellows who recently split kings ransom for their bout at Madison Square Garden, New York Palzer now is a dub, fighting prelirninaries for a few dollars when he can induce some promoter to put him on,
 Moran and Palzer broke into the ring at the same time, and ORourke pro- noted a bout between the pair, which was the first important engagement either had had up to that time, Each was very green, and the bout was a draw. O'Rourke could have had Moran by saying the word, but he preferred Pa1zer and guessed wrong.

 While we do not agree with the vet eran, it ali sounds mighty interesting We believe Ray Schalk to be one of the greatest catchers the game ever produced And how about Jimmy Archer? Show us any boy wko, can peg them more accurately to second. Kilhfer has a great noodle and is a great field general. And how about Bill Carrigan, now manager of the Red Sox? No man that ever wore mask could block runner at the plate as well as William. He also possesses the head. He is getting little too old now, but at his best he was a star. New York critics have been boosting Bill Rariden. The latter was not well thought of when he was with the Bos- ton Braves, but since Joining the Giants he has shown up we'll. He is not wonder, but he puts up a rat ting game behind the bat Then there is Tommy Clarke of the Cincin- nati Reds.

SWEDEN STUMPED
 BY POLIOMYEL|T|S
Specialists Don't Know Of Any
 Cure for Paralysis

Correspondence of the Asso .Press.)
 Stockholm, Sweden, Sept. 6.-What
 can be done to cure and prevent in
 fantile paralysis?
 The Associated Press correspondent
 has put this question to all of SWed-
 ems leading authorities on poliomyel- tis, as the disease is scientifically
 known, and their answer has been
 the same: We don't knOW.''
 This answer is the more discourage
 ing in view of the fact that Sweden,
 almost alone among European coun-
 tries, has been repeatedly scOurged by
 the epidemic, and, as a result, has a number of physicians and bacteriOlo-
 gists who have devoted themselves
 for years almost exclusively to the study of the disease. Nowhere else, except in the Rockefeller Institute of New York, have such exhaustive in- vestigations been made, and the an- swer as given is above We don't know.''
 While the curve of the disease in Sweden in general has attained it's highest point in August and Septem- Der, there have been marked excep- tions to the rule, and there can be no certain conclusions as to a seasonal
 incidence of the epidemic. That the
 last large epidemic in the city of GOthenburg began in October and ran through March, is one of the facts that incline the Swedish scientists to doubt the transmission of the disease by flies. The disease first appeared in Swed- en-or, rather, was first accurately diagnosed as such-in 1881. Scattered cases appeared thereafter from time to time, but the attention of Swedish 1 physicians generally was first directed l to the disease by the epidemic of 1 1905, which brought some 1,50O cases. l Then came a comparative !ull, al- 1 though the succeeding years up to 1911 brought another 1,5O0 cases. Investigations into the nature of the disease and the manner of it's trans 1 mission were just we'll under way when the great epidemic of 1911-12-13 1 broke out, with a total of almost 1O, 900 cases for the three years, an ap- palling total for a country with a population of only about 6,OOO,000. l The epidemic had a mortality Of 13.79 per cent, and 1000 of the patients who survived were lamed a great pro- portion permanently. The disease is still epidemic in Sweden.

Jacob S. Cobey of Massillon, O., who more than twenty years ago led "CoXeys army of unemployed on a long march to Washington, filed pa pers with the secretary of state as an independent candidate for United State senator. In 1894 he led $50 ragged, dirty hungry, thirsty, weary men down historic Pennsylvania avenue amid the shouts and jeers of a great multitude of Washingtons S citizens. The marching men com posed the Army of the Common
 wealth of Christ" The march was the close of the long tramp which began at Massillon, O., five weeks before. It ended at the steps of the capitol of the United States in Washington. The soldiers of the army carried slaves for weapons and all sorts of things for banners. When they attempted as an army to march into the capitol grounds they were clubbed back by
 policemen. In May, 1914, he attempt ed another march. He reached the capitol, but only with about nine men.

RHEUMATISM
Physician Believes Genuine Rem edy for the Disease Has
 Been FOund

Rhehma, the wonderful rheumatism remedy sold by Clark & Brainerd Co.,, and all druggists, gives quicker and more lasting relief than other reme- dies costing many times as much.
 Rheuma passes the deadly poison ous secretiOns into the bowels and kidneys, from which they are quickly thrown off in a natural, healthy way.
 Read what a reputable physician says about Rheuma: l have made a most careful investigation of the formula employed in the manufacture of Rheuma, and I heartily recommend it as a remedy for all forms of rheu- matism. I find Rheuma far in ad vance of the methods generally en- ployed in the treatment of rheuma- tism, and altogether different in com position from the remedies usually prescribed" ."-Dr. Lyons.
 This should give any sufferer from rheumatism confidence to try Rheu- ma.

Before selecting the design they
asked committee of distinguished

Four designs were thus taken from

choosing finally the commission heard
the expert reasonings of the commit

(Communloated)

A work of charity which means
much to the orphans of Minneapolis
is the annual outing given to them by
the Minneapolis Automobile Club. For
ten years the business and profession
al men who are members of the club
have left their Offices and counting
rooms and sacrificed one day in the
year for the sake of the boys and girls
who are gathered at the various
homes of the city. Each year. the chill
dren have looked forward to the great
picnic with increasing pleasure and
each year their generous hearted hosts
have learned more about how to help
the children enjoy themselves. This
years outing was unanimously voted
by the boys and girls the best they'd
ever had.
None of the orphans enjoyed the
day more than the hundred and twen-
ty-five boys of the Minneapolis Catho-
| lie Orphan Asylum. On Wednesday
morning, June 81, some of the little
| fellows were UP at three o'clock in
| their anxiety to be ready for the auto
mobiles which we're TO come at nine.
The business men themselves who fur
nished their cars, like royal hosts,
seemed scarcely less eager than the
boys, for by half past eight many cars
had already arrived and we're stand
ing out on the campus where the boys
of the baseball team were dividing
their time between their practice for
the days game, their inspection of the
big shining cars, and admiration for
their baseball suits, which they had
won year ago by winning the game
| from the Washburn Home.
/ The women who were to accompany
the boys were on hand in good time;
there was an abundant supply of flags
with which boys and men proudly
decked the cars, and when all were
Iready Mr.. McCartneys horn footed
1.-THE signal for starting. His car was
followed by thirty others In lone
procession that swept around the or
phanage and out toward Chicago ave
nue.. AS the cars rolled past the front
of the building the boys sent up volley
after volley of shouts and cheers with
waving of flags and caps to the Sis
ters who were grouped at the main on
trance to watch their charges away.
The procession sped down Chicago
and Park avenues until at Twenty
sixth street other cars carrying The
children from other homes joined the
procession and after a short pause the
train continued its way down town
by the time the postoface was reach
ed there were sixty cars In the process
sion carrying most of the children D
the city's orphan homes. The carr
Ipursued their way up Nicollet avenue
and then over to the parade ground
where the soldiers were drilling. Thl
j boys could scarcely be held in thei
| seats so eager were they to see tn
j brown clad soldiers of Uncle Sam wit
! Etheir guns and knapsacks standing a
J attention or grouped around th
camp iTes.

NEW ITALIAN PAPER
IN AMERICA" WILL
BE PUBLISHED BY THE NEW
YORK DIOCESAN COUNCIL FOR
ITALIAN AFFAIRS.

The New York Diocesan Council
for the Italian Affairs, with the CO.
operation of many Italian priests from
several dioceses in the United States,
has undertaken the publication of an
Italian weekly known as "LItaliano
in America" for the purpose of
counteracting the Protestant, anar-
chistic and socialistic propaganda
which is daily increasing in proper
tions and creating, as a consequence,
wider Indifference and aversion to the
Catholic Church and its priesthood.
Archbishop Bonzano, Apostolic Dele
getc u the United States, has ap-
proved of the project, and earnestly
requests the Italian priests in America
to give their support to the project.
He says:
"The religious and moral condition
of our immigrants is such that every
means should be adopted to improve
1t. In their case we may well apply
the saying: Not to advance is to fall
back. This is exactly the case to say
that not advancing is falling back.
Hence there is no time to be lost,
and immediate action is necessary.
not only for the salvation of souls
but also for the prestige of the Italian
name, which, unfortunately, but not
always wrongfully, is deprecated in
this country. L'Italiano in America
will undoubtedly be an efficient means
to attain this end and t0 countpraCt
the nefarious anti-religious and ami
social propaganda, which works/so
great havoc among souls, through the
nti-Catholic and subversive press.
Every priest, therefore, should make
it his duty, not only to subssfibe per-
sonally, but to get many Sther sub
scribers to LItaliano ip America,
and this will me an exceFent antidote
against the poison of tbe evil press. "
