the morning. A local anaesthetic was used.
and at IL o'clock I was on my way home

Disguised, l resolved that never again

DIR. Rumsey was most patient with me,
despite the fact that he had offered sug-
gestions for my benefit that I fatty refused
to welcome"
On the following Monday morning, very
much against the doctors wishes, Mr.
Dowell said he was down town TO his place
of business. From that time until August
II, he waited patiently for the annual re-
turn Of hay fever, but no signs Of the trouble
came.
Now when the breezes softly blow, cleo
trio fans fan, and the dust arises, Mr.
Dowel's nose is no longer the haven for
those little wolly-1obbles that cause untold
suffering among thousands Of Americans
every year.
The turning Of the tide then. was due 10
the work OF DR.. Rumsey. whose wonderful
operation changed the construction Of the
sensitive nose so that the punctured septum
was healed by means Of pieces Of bone taken
fro mother parts of the nose, and the breath
ing channel made wider.
Just as a certain note on the piano is in
tune with some ornament in the room which
causes a vibration and hum-m-m so the
delicate mucous membrane OF hay fever vic
tins Is in tune with the Summer winds that
carry bits OF pollen. When the nose is
changed so that II is out of tune with this
dreaded atmosphere hay fever is no more
10 be expected. according TO Mr. Dowell.
So sure is he that the changed anatomy
OF the nose is responsible for his cure, Mr..
Dowell offers 10 pay the operation charges
for anyone who absolutely suffers with gen
uine hay fever. which is known when the
zephyrs scatter widely pollen. or fertile
particles Of plants, and the sensitive mucus
membranes OF eyes, nose and mouth yield
to its irritating influence, and watery eyes.
leaky noses. sneezes and asthma are borne
upon the victims.
Hay fever mas been described as a disease
which manifests itself in the Spring. from
the latter part OF May or the early part Of
June 10 the end Of September or early Oc-
tober. The Spring attacks last about
month, while those in the Fall average about
six weeks

the two big white handkerchiefs that filed

Mcdorn practice prescrfbes that

that there is always a draught OF
cold air flowing down a closed win

But If the radiator IS Immediately

n EAUTIFUL shoulders must frst Of all be
X symmetrical shoulders. They must be
just broad enough TO balance finely the
figure. If the figure which they surmount be
slender, shoulders also should be slender; but
they should never be thin.
For beauty's sake, the shoulders must be soft,
not muscular. They must be overaid with a
yelling of firm flesh. They must slope gently
into the lines of the arms, bust and back. and
while plump in front, they should be thin at the
back

After shapelness, in Importance comes white
ness. Shoulders well cared for should be the
whtest part of womans body
A third important element in the beauty of
the shoulders is the texture of the skin 1t should
be of satin fneness. 1t is wonderful what intel
hgence massage can do for one S shoulders. Thin
shoulders can be plumpened, and fat ones re-
duced by the proper kind of massage
If the shoulders have become tanned or
freckled by much sea-bathing or lolling the
burning sands, they should be treated twice day
with some healing lotion. One old fashioned but
excellent remedy consists of an ounce of horse
radish, two drains of borax and pint of boiling
water Apply with a sponge.
Also apply distilled water and the juice of
lemon mixed in equal parts. The effect of six
or eight applications of such remedies as these
should be quickly apparent.

RUNNERS LOSE time
How Much TWo-Fifths OF a Sec-
ond Affects Safe Hitting.
Pitcher Ed Reulbaeh Tells OF Bats
man Who Failed to Beat Out Hit
by Turning to See How Short.
stop Was Fielding Ball.

Tn the Baseball Magazine Ed Reul-
bach has an article disclosing how
much two-ffths of n second affects safe
hitting. We quote In part from his
magazine story.
"Out," yelled the umpire. The base
runner ran hard. lie dug his spikes
into the ground and hurled himself NJ
the bag. But the ball beat him out In
the race by perhaps one.ffth of n
second.
The infielders tighten their belts,
clap their hands to their gloves and
call TO one another. That's the boy
get the next one now" They are on
their toes, alert. spirited, eager. The
base runner, inopping his face, nmbles
back TO the dugout and takes his place
dejectedly on the bench. Perhaps
someone asks him why he didn't beat
the bali. He W CURLY that he
ran mis- best. There IL n general feel
ing that he did run hard under the
circumstances, and interest speedily
centers in the next play.
That play Is repeated mt least ten
times In an average game, but before
we dismiss IL let's see just what hap
pened. The batter had hit the ball
The Tucumcari news and Tucumcari times. [volume] (Tucumcari, N.M.) 1907-1921, 1917-04-26

rather sharply to deep short field. The
shortstop had 10 sprint several feet TO
his right In order to stop the ball.
Then he had to his balance
and set himself for n long, hard throw.
All this took time and although the ball
went straight and true into the first
baseman's init, 1t took II large frac-
ton of n second to travel across that
intervening space. The batter made a
quick getaway from the plate. Half
the success Of beating n throw Is In
getting n good start. He vas II reason
ably fast man and he ran well. But
he knew when he hit the ball that
he had no time to spare. He was GU
rious to see II the shortstop field
ed the ball clean and just what were
his chances of beating out the throw.
This curiosity led him TO cast n look
out across the diamond To where the
shortstop was trying TO field the ball,
and although he did not cease running,
in that one look, he involuntnrlly
~slnckened his speed. How much time
did he lose? Probably ut least two
fifths of n second, and that robbed
him OF n hit and perhaps robbed his
teammates of the victory.

FEW SHORT BASEBALL GAMES
Pastimes Of Nine Full Innings Played
In Less Than an Hour Are Scarce
Some Instances.

Nine-Inning pastlmes pulled Off In
less than an hour are rather rare, but
not quite so scarce as hens molars.
The first game of this kind was pulled
Off In Dayton, o.. 80 years ago, when
Dayton and Ironton hustled through n
regulation contest In AZ minutes. That
was considered Il very remarkable per-
Torrance, and would be yet, for that
matter, although the game Is must fast
er now than IL was In 1894.
In the early days of baseball-the
era of big scores-lt was by no means
unusual for a pastime TO drag out
through three or four hours. The
classic OF that kind was staged ut
Carrollton. KY, In 1868, when a game
commenced at ten In the morning was
called on account of darkness In the
late evening, with only seven innings
plryed!
San Francisco and Oakland equaled
the Dayton record for brevlty In 1893.
In 1890 an American professional club
touring japan defeated Il college nine
In Tokyo In 40 minutes. The profess
sional record was set up In Atlanta Just
six years ago, Mobile defeating the
home club 2 10 I, In 32 minutes. Chap
peile was In the box for the
v%ictors, and Griffin twirled for Atlanta.
Mobile got six hits and Atlanta five.
The score was tied In the ninth In

was thrown out by the pitcher. who recovered the ball.
The ruling on the two plays ut the time they came up differed
entirely. The American league has since changed its original ruling,
but It's present ruling differs "A much as ever from the construction
placed on the play by the National league. This is play that the
proposed rules committee could clear up.
Answer to Problem.
AT the time the play came up in the American league, all the UNI
pres regarded such happening as purely accidental and suspended
play Immediately, not allowing any bases to be- run o men retired. In
the play at 81. Louis, the umpire simply sent the runner back TO first
and started everything over again.
A strict Interpretation of the play makes the accidental happening
n balk. but such a construction has never been favored by the Amer-
can league. II has always been pointed out that such Il way to win II
game, by forcing Il ma home from third, u not to be desired. Hence,
the making of the play a purely accidental feature. Last year, how
ever, the American league decided that in the event OF such Il play the
ball should be regarded as in play and base runners permitted to adj
vance at their peril.
In the National league the play Is regarded as n balk. In the
National lengue play cited. the runner retired at the plate was allowed
to score and the man on first granted second.
Both rulings are open to much argument.
