The trip to Washington. d. c., that
has been an annual occurrence during
the last week in March for several
years, will probably not be taken this
year by the Senior class of Cony
High school as a class affair, there be
ing but few who have signified their
intention of going. a party, however,
will be made up of adults and mem
bers of the Senior class, who desire
to take the trip. 1t is probable that the
date for leaving Augusta will be Fri
day, March %. and Supt. II. II. Stuart
will conduct the party as heretofore.

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The condi
ton is perfectly natural. 1t is just as
natural as ii is for old people to
walk slowly. For age is never SO &C
tive as youth. The muscles are less
elastic. And the bowels are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets.
One might as we'll refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. The
bowels must be kept active. This is
important at all ages, but never SO
much as at fifty.
Age is not a time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the
bowels into activity. But lash can't
be used every day. What the bowels
of the old need Is a gentle and natural
tonic. One that can be constantly
used without harm. The only such
tonic is Cascarets. and they cost only
10 cents per box at any drug store

* CORER L. II COYNE OF the
Pass City league, who has fol-
- lowed the fortunes Of the anna
teur circuit for the past three sea-
sons, and Is intimately acquainted
with the ms and outs Of the organi-
zation, contributes the following ar
ticle relative TO the teams:
With the season drawing to a close,
a review OF the various teams re-
veaIs TO light the reason why some
teams are on top, and why others are
hugging the lower rungs OF the pen
aant ladder. Among the dopesters
were many who figured that the Nor
ton Book team would be pace-setters
with Villareal, Soto and Chapparo for
boxmen, ChacOn as backstop. Medina
at third and caro- at short Last sea
son Villareal showed wonderful form
and ChapparO was last developing all
the stuff that goes to make pitcher.
Soto also had won several games dur
ing the 1916 season and It did look as
though the Books were going TO have
everything their way. However VII
lareal and Soto developed sore arms
early in the race and ChapparO had
not vet gained the essential control
DiEsension also broke out in
the team and loose playing lost
the MeLicanB six out Of the first
eight games. Medina, who never
hit his stride, was released TO
WestOmE and Immediately began
10 play consistent ball.
About this time Chacon, the most
reliable backstop Of the league, be-
came dissatisfied and dropped out
one after another Of the players took
sick. which made necessary the con-
slant shifting OF the lineup TO the det-
riment Of the teams standing. The

Many fans considered that the Wes-

H Pelphrey would cop the pennant,
basing their belief on Bits knoWl-
a good bunch Of players together and
won the first two starts, but the
third time out he bumped into the ag-
gressiTe Purity bunch and lost
Here it might be mentioned that
the Weston team met the Purf-
ties seven times and seven times
went down to defeat. From this
time on the history Of the Weston
team Is sad 20 relate. Hardly two
sundays in succession did mana
ger Bill succeed in having the
same team on the field
Thorpe, his best bet as 4 pitcher,
left town early in the season and
Haney took up the burden, but was
wild as a March hare, although splen-
did at the rare times that he had
control Anderson, star second sacker,
went to the navy and Pelphrey lost
many other players when Dr. MEGA
mant's hospital corps left for the
training camp at Fort Worth.
The third choice OF the year was
the Purity outfit, but It did not take
the fans long TO realize that the team
that captured the bunting would
have TO beat the Bakers Manager
Sims Davis is not a laxative chap
and neither is his right hand man Red
Brennan. so the wiseacres had little to
go on for their representations and
not until the team got well under way
could the fans get a line on the play
ing Of the Baker crew.
Manager LevingstOn, who han
died the Everybody club in 1916,
brought that club practically in
tact under the Feldman banner.
Neither Fisher or Gillette were in
shape. but still they managed to
win seven out OF fifteen games.

~ The scrappy little manager o.
the Chicago White Sox was made the
butt Of many a discouraging predic-
ton when he took hold Of the reins
at Chicago in December, 1914, sue
ceeding Jimmy Callahan.
The wiseacres in the big show said
he would never do. They laughed at
Charley Comiskey for digging a man
ager out Of the bushes and putting
him at the head Of one Of the best
looking major league clubs in the
country. They said he would funk
before he had finished his first sea
son.
But Rowland Is still on the job.
and what's more, Rowland Will
plot his ball club against the
Giants in the blue ribbon series
OF the national game this fall, for
Rowland has made good.
The chieftain Of the White sox was
born about forty odd years ago in
Plattsville. Wis, and played ball with
semi-professiOnal and minor league
teams in the middle west for a num-
Der Of years. His first managerial
berth was at Aberdeen Wash, IN the
Northwestern league. That was back
in 1908
The following year found Rowland
in the Southern association IS skip

year later he went to Dubuque, Iowa,
where he was part owner Of the team.
After two seasons at Dubuque he
took charge OF the managerial reins
at Peoria in the Three-Eye league,
