THAT probably accounts for It," Law
agreed; then his face lit with a slow
smile. "By the way, don't tell Mrs.

she sends me books"
Ellsworth laughed silently. "Your

Children love this "fruit laxative"
and nothing else cleanses the tender
stomach, liver and bowels so nicely.
A child simply will not stop playing
to empty the bowels, and the result is
they become tightly clogged with
waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach
sours, then your little one becomes
cross, half-sick, feverish, don't eat,
sleep or act naturally, breath is bad,
system full Of cold, has sore throat,
stomach-ache or diarrhea. Listen,

nation was broken up there were those
who predicted that the Braves would
miss the wise counsel of the Miracle
Coach" Yet everyone knows that
Stallings is capable, a good judge of
bad players and a driving manager. 1t
appears that the Braves were due to
fall; that Mitchell's presence would not
have helped matters any.
Has New OutfieId.
Stallings has disposed of Evers, Ma
gee, Twombley and several others. He
has a brand new outfeld; he is re-
building his infield and he must secure
another good catcher, to say nothing
of rebuilding the pitching staff.
At Chicago Mitchell faces recon-
struction that is almost as sweeping.
Larry Doyne may not be able to go
through another season. Kilduff may
eventually succeed the former Giant
captain as guardian of the keystone
sack. The Cub outfield also needs at
tention, and Mitchell is looking for
several new pitchers. So by the time
1918 rolls around the lineup of the
Cubs and Braves, as compared to the
lineups of this season, will be vastly
changed.

CHASE is BIG FACTOR
Has Been Playing in American
League Twelve Years.
One-Time Yankee Star Has Supplied
More Impetus to Reds Than Any
Other Player-Temperam
Causes Much Trouble.

Time has been lenient with Hal
Chase, once the idol of New York ran
dom. For II years he has been cam
paigning along the major league trail
| but not yet does he have TO DOH MS
cap to the newer stars. The Sisters
Pipps and Holkes of later day still
have far to go before they can out
shine the battle-scarred Redlander.
Chase has been an inspiration to the
Reds. Next to Matty, the one-time Yam
kee star has supplied more impetus TO
the Cincinnati drive than any other
player ON the club. He has become
the pivot about which the Redland ma
chine revolves.
Hal Chase ranks with Jack Coombs
as one of the greatest "come-backs" in
the history of baseball. On more than
one occasion his major league requiem
has been read, but today he is back on
the upper course, performing with all
the old agility ana easy grace that
made him one of the most popular play
ers in the country in the years of his
service with the Yankees.
Chase is one of those high-strung,
temperamental ball players. In the
past his temperament has caused him
a deal of trouble. At times it upset his
playing so that it looked as if he were
on the soapy chutes headed toward the
minors. But Chase seems to have over
come his cratic ways to a great ex-
tent.
He seems to be more content with
his surroundings ON the Cincinnati
team than he ever was while mem
Der of the YANKEES, the White Sox and
later in the now defunct Federal
league.
He is playing steady baseball. Day
In and day out he is continually striv-

ing for the good of the team. He is
now cog in a smooth-running ma
chine. He is no longer an individual
star, although he is playing just as
brilliantly as at any time in his long
career.
Christy Mathewson regards him as
one of the most valuable assets the
Cincinnati club has. Not only has
Chase been pounding the ball at close
to 300 clip, but he has been fielding
with all of his old-time brilliance and
running the bases as he was wont to
run them when he was having one Of
his good" days with the Yanks.

Her Choice.

Hazel was at loss to make a choice
between two young sprouts in her gar
den of love. She desired hardy plant,
one that would thrive in any soil and
under any conditions. No shadow must
prevent the sprout selected from grow

Every day could not have its full
allotment of sunshine. Which would
she choose? Either was pleasing to
the eye. Then came a day when the
wind blew hard-a draft from one end
of the country to the other.
One of the sprouts withered from the
biting blast. The other thrived and
grew as though It had been blessed
with continual sunshine. Now Hazel
is happy. Her choice has been made

FINGERS KEEP PLAYERS OUT
Erroneous Idea That All Baseball Men
Are Physically Fit for Service
In the Army.

The idea that all ball players must
be physically fit for service in the
army appears to be erroneous. Heine
Groh, third baseman of the Reds, re-
ceived orders several days ago to re-
port for examination, and Heine re-
ported. He got away well in the phys
ical test until one of the examiners
noted that his fingers were not as
straight as they should be.
At various times during his base
ball career Groh had smashed his
fingers in finding batted or thrown
balls, and they did not "come back"
AS result, Groh was rejected by the
examining board.
If the same rule is to be followed,
it means that several ball players who
are otherwise physically fit will be
rejected by the examining boards.

WARD IS NOT APPRECIATED
Manager Stallinos of Boston Braves
Would Like to Secure Services of
Pirate Shortstop.

They have never appreciated Chuck
Ward in Pittsburgh, but any time the
Pirates want to get rid of him George
Stallings will chip in. The manager
of the Braves is quoted as saying that
Ward has the markings Of one of the
greatest infielders in the game, and
when he says infielder he means that
Ward can play any position on the d.
almond and do it well. Ward is not a
heavy hitter, but he gets them when
they count as shown by the fact that
he is tied with Max Carey In the mat

George Stallings and Fred Mitchell
were split up last winter when Mitchell
attached his moniker to a contract as
manager of the Cubs.
So the Miracle Man. of Boston had
to get along without his miracle
coach and advisor, and the Miracle
Coach" had his own row to hoe in
Chicago. Both managers buckled into
the task of giving their home town
fans a winner, and both have failed.
Now they are rebuilding the teams for
the 1918 race, and it appears from this
distance that it will take considerable
rebuilding to make winners out of
them.
Broke Up Combination.
Stallings has broken up his PEN
nant winning combination completely.
He has gotten rid of no less than five
players, and he may get rid of some
more. Mitchell inherited second-di-
vision team when he took the Cubs and
he knew what he had before him. He
knew that it would take time to model
a winning machine out of the material
left by Joe Tinker and that new ma
terial would be required.
