days of autumn.
If you cannot walk in the country
walk in the city.
OF course the spice of the air in
the woods is far more stimulating and
invigorating, but the exercise gained
by the brisk walk in the early morn
ing when the air is fresh and not
contaminated with fetid smoke is an
inspiration in itself.
The summer days are over. We
Will welcome them again, but why
look upon our yesterdays when our
tomorrows are SO splendid and so
freighted with hope?
If the man or woman who seems
to suffer with that tired feeling
would just get up at an early hour,
just as the sky shows the blush of
the new day and take a walk through
the parks, inhale the fresh air, feel
their lungs expand, they would real
ize what a walk means.
This is the season for walking.
Take an hour of exercise, a bath, a
good breakfast and you will find the

BEAUMONT'S
 BATTING RECORD

It was seventeen years ago to-day, on July 22, 1899, that Clarence Beau mont pulled off his feat of securing six consecutive hits in one game, while playing with Pittsburg. This record which was equalled last year by Geo. Cutshaw of the Dodgers. has often been declared to be the worlds record,
 but such Is not the case. Back in 1892 Wilbert Robinson, now pilot of the Dodgers. got seven hits in as many trips to the bat. Bobby was then with the Baltimore Orioles, and St. Louis was the opposing club.
 Beaumont. who was known as Gin ger," was born in Rochester, Wis, for ty years ago. come tomorrow, and in 1898 he played for Milwaukee, under
 Connie Mack. He landed with the
 Pittsburgh team the following year, when he batted 1850. In six of his eight years with the Buccaneers he batted over the 300 mark. In 1907 he. went to Boston, where he spend three seasons, and in 1910 he was with the Cubs. He then drifted out of the big show and played for a time in the American Association. Beaumont started as catcher, but Connie Mack
 changed him into an outf1elder, and in his prime. he was a star among the isluggers.-,

As finale a hand full of coins was tossed among the boys,i and the scramble showed a bunch of legs poised in air as the squirming heap fought for the prizes. The dinner at the Inn was said to be the best ever, and full justice was done to 1t.

 FIRST CAME

Grover Alexander's first appearance in the limelight was just seven years ago to-day, July 22, 1909, when he twirled a no-hit game for Galesburg H., against Canton. Grover was then a novice in the professional ranks, having joined the Galesburg club at the beginning of the 1909 season. AL though withuot previous experience save with amateur and semi-pro clubs in his native Nebraska, he made good from the start, and his no-hit game at- tracted considerable attention. Short ly after that he was hit in the head by d thrown ball, and for days his recov- cry was doubtful. When he was on his feet again he found that his eye sight had been greatly weakened by the blow. Several clubs had been bid ding for Alexander, and Galesburg sold him to Indianapolis. He wasn't able to pitch again that year, and in 1910 he was turned over to Syracuse where he twirled Such great ball that he was recalled by the Hoosiers in August, and at the close of the season was drafted by the Phillies.
