Il see where Ed Walsh is not on the
White Sox reserve list. Excessive mas
sage put him out of baseball two years

Thus spoke well informed man who
has followed the destinies of the Chi
caso ball club for many years. Walsh
was Il peculiar hurler. He was called
upon to work often. He never shirked,
but he did insist on having his arm
rubbed. Every day the trainer had 10

He was rubbed before the game and
after the game and sometimes In be-
tween. Massage was his hobby, and he
took IL in the liberal portions that
man generally demands when the thing
he wants costs nothing
Fellow players demonstrated. but he
knew. Wasn't he the greatest pitcher
of his time? He was. Didn't he dust
the hostiiiticS of the plate with great
regularity and more effect than the
Others! He did.
SO he had his arm rubbed morning.

Rubbing" says King Brady of the

III player. such as pitcher, has
had his arm treated to excess he has
submitted to just that much more arti.

ers have come to the conclusion that
there is in each man Just so much en-.
ergy to be expended When that en-.

1t is believed that to an enormous
extent the bed Of the ocean is covered
with lava and rumice stone Still
more remarkable is 1t to find the floor
Of the ocean covered In many parts
with the dust Of meteorites- These
bodies whirl about in the heavens like
miniature comets and are for the most
part broken Into innumerable frag
ments. We are all familiar with these
heavenly visitants as shooting stars,
but 1t has been only lately discovered
that this cosmic dust forms layers at
the bottom OF the deepest seas. Be
tween Honolulu and Tahiti, at depth
OF 1850 fathoms-over two miles and
a half-a vast layer Of this material
exists Failing upon land, this impal
pable dust Is indistlnguishable; but
accommodating for centuries in the sea
depths. 1t forms a wondrous story Of
the continuous bombardment OF this
planet by cometary bodies
