Skipper Ed Barrow Is the
 Master Mariner of Baseball

Years ago, when Homer was bIoomin, liar, there dwelt in cave on the coast of Greece a lady named <EcyIla. According to this Homer per- son-wf1o may or may not have been sober when he lamped her-this gell had six heads, twelve feet, and voice like the ye1p of a puppy crying for it's mamma. Scy1la was very fond of sea food, and her speciality was to reach her long hands out of her cave and grab whales, sailors and such like On the opposite shore, just a bowshot away, lived a party who answered to the name of Charybdis, and her little stunt was to suck in and spout out sea water. She had a bigger capacity for salt water than a German has for beer. and when she spouted she was likely to overwheIm any ship passing by. The skipper who could guide his vessel safely through the strait. escap- ing the attentions of both Scy1la and Charybdis. was considered a. mighty able mariner.

Children Kidneys
No Bridgeport Mother Should Neglect
 the Little Ones Health,

oftentimes weak kidneys cause great annoyance and embarrassment to children. Inability to control the kidney secretions, at night or while at play, is attributed to care1essness and too frequently the child is pun ished. Parents having children troubled with kidney weakness would do we'll to treat the kidneys with a tested and proven kidney remedy. If tn ere is pain in the back, disco1ored urine irregular urination, headaches, dizzy spells or a tired, worn-out feel ing, try Doan's Kidney Pills at once. A remedy that has been used in kid ney troubles for over 50 years and has been recommended by thousands. Proof of merit in Bridgeport citi- zen's statement. '
 Mrs. Rudolph Link, 199 Hewett street, Bridgeport, says: My little son was troubled with kidney weak ness. He did not have any control over the passages of the kidney se- cretions during the day and wet the bed every night.

 Edward Garnt Barrow, to give him his complete moniker, will celebrate his forty eighth birthday today, as he was born on May 10, 1868, in Spring field, III. MT. Barrow certainly de- serves the coFdiaI felicitations of the International League magnates On this suspicious occasion, for his <organiza- ton had to bear the brunt of the base ball war of the last two years. as well as the falling off in attendance In Montreal and Toronto due to the Euro pean war. The fighting boss of the International has passed through the crisis with flying colors, and, having given Scyl1a and Carybdis the merry ha-ha. is now sailing his craft in com paratively calm waters. There were times insthe last year when it seemed to some of the magnates that Jim ScyEa Gilmore had conquered, but Mr. Barrow could never be made-to see it. s Barrow began his business career in 1887 as a mailing clerk on the Des Moines News, and later became circu- 1atfon manager of that paper, and afterward city editor of the Leader. His connection with baseball began at that time, as he ran an independent team in the Iowa metropolis, his play CTS including -Ducky Holmes, Fred Clarke, George Cross, Herman Mo Farland and others afterwards fam ous- For some years thereafter Bar row was in the hotel and catering busi- ness in Pittsburgh and New York, and in 1894 he joined with George More land in launching the Interstate League, with clubs in Wheeling, Day. ton, Columbus, Steubenvi11e, Canton, Finley. Mansfield and Lima. The cir cult went broke in rnid-season, but Barrow's Wheeling club was trans .ferred to. the Iron and Oil League, and copped the flag.
 Barrow then assumed the manage nent of the Paterson club in the At lantic League, and Honus Wagner was one of his players. In 1896 he was
 made president of the circuit, and held the job until 1899, when the league blew up. In 1900 Barrow became a magnate and manager of the Toronto club, and in three years finished third, second and first. In 1904 he managed Detroit, and the next year was at the Indianapolis helm. In 1906 he return ed to Toronto for a year, and then opened a hotel in. that city, returning 2 to baseball lin 1910. as MontreaPs man ager. He was then elected presid ent of the Eastern League, now the Inter national, and has been on the job ever since.
