Proper Food for Weak Stomach

The proper food for one man may
be all wrong for another. Every one
should adopt a diet suited to his age
and occupation. Those who have
weak stomachs need to be especially
careful and should eat slowly and
masticate their food thoroughly. II
is also important that they keep their
bowels regular. When they become

 The defeat of the High school was the second of the season from their Hartford rivals, and was decisive. For a time in the opening half, the locals gave their friends some heart by fighting the opposition and managed to keep within few points of the lead, but in the second half, there was little to it but Hartford Captain Hubbard was the only local player to perform in a manner deserving special mention.
 Danny Ahern showed the Kamels something in the art of caging a spheroid, when he deftly dropped the ball into the net on eleven occasions from the floor. This Ahern person sure was a thorn in the side of the Hardware city five. Pickop and Ellison were the stars for, New Britain.

 Maltreat Mays Pitching

Hot Springs, Ark, March l9-Man- aged Robinson of superbas started the veteran Coombs in the first game of the Brookiyn-Red Sox series here yesterday, following with Cadore and Dell. These Dodger twirlers were so far ahead of the three Boston stars Shore, Ruth and Mays in their work that they only allowed the worlds champions to score two runs while they were making seven, five of which came in the eighth inning.
 Up to the eighth it was as good as worlds series contest. In this frame the Dodgers squeezed three hits off Mays. the only pitcher they succeeded in beating last fall in the big series. Moreover Mays appeared tu have lost all sense of direction by hitting three batsmen and passing an- other.
 Fabrique. the Dodgers shortstop. carried off both the batting and field ing honors of the day. Out of five trips to the plate he hit safely four times and received a base on balls. Ir the short field he handled seven chances.
 The outfield work of Hickman, Johnston and Myers was far ahead o1 the Sox trio of f1elders. Hickman in the sixth inning. threw the ball into Meyers hand from right field mailing a Boston player at the plate The score:

The Cincinnati Reds are playing a Cuban named Cueto at third base down south. In a recent practice game Cueto drove the ball to the edge of the outfield and completed the cir cult, standing up. But the home run didn't count because the Cuban didn't touch bases. was called out by the umpire. When Matty asked for an explanation, Cueto said that he broke his leg last fall and was afraid that he would trip over one of the bags. In a subsequent inning Cueto knocked out a double and proceeded to tear open first base when he jabbed 1t with his spikes.

It was we'll for the Giants that this pair was able to hit balls over the head of the Houston center fielder, for the Texas leaguers made a gallant showing and were in the game right up to the last out which left their tying run on third base. The score was 3 to 2.

 enemy, but the Texans totaled as
 many bases on their blows. They
 scored, however. in only one inning when two triples and . single were wrestled from Cecil Algernon Causey. who pitched the first five innings.
