UPTURE
FEEL, WORSE -.FrER VACATION.

The change from outdoor activity OF
vacation time to the quiet OF regular
employment sometimes makes one feel
heavy and stuffed up uncomfortable
and bilious, with a mean headache,
nervous unrest and thiekly coated
tongue. Instead of complaining that "a
vacation does no good" 1t is better to
remove the trouble. which usually is
the result of indigestion.a Foley Cath

VANGUARD SURE OF WEARING BROOKLYN UNIFORM NEXT YEAR

There is one man who discarded a Brooklyn uniform at the end of this year who surely will sport one again next season if he so desires. That is something every man on the ball club cant say with any degree of assurance. Things are at sizes and seycns in the camp of the bod, gers. Some players are marked for release, some are labeled for trade. and 1t is well-recognized fact that the team will next season present a far different personnel from the one of today
 The player in question is Rube Marquard Consigned to the scrap heap by some of the experts" at the start of the season, Rube has turned laugh upon all his critics. He has just finished one of the most successful seasons of his career If he had not been handicapped with a make-shift club he unquestionably would be up near the top in the standing of the National League pitchers.

TINKER SAYS SHINE BALL WAS KNOWN TO ALL A. A. PLAYERS

Joe Tinker, manager of the Column bus A. A. team, says that Cicotte' s shine ball" had it's origin in the minors Dave Danforth took the shine ball to the Majors from the American Association when he join ed the White Sox last year" says Tinker As it looks to me he showed the stunt to Cicotte and now we see the result of it. The pitch CTS in the Association didn't try hard to conceal their factoring of the ball and most of us thought little of it. Dan Griner and Fin. neran, both of St. Paul would rub rosin on one side of the ball and shine it on the other and they could curve it around house. And some of the pitchers had so freaky a ball that they not only fooled the bat ters but they fooled the catchers. There was an epidemic of broken fingers among the Association catch CTS last season"
