Tonic, Says Texas Lady.

Kemp, Texas,-Mrs. Minnie Cheek Of
this town writes ~ suffered with pains

my feet at times. Couldn't do nv
work, only what had to be done. I
had a physician and he gave me medI,

and he advised an operation. l had
read In the Ladies Birthday Almanac
of Cardui, so l decided to try It. When
/ had taken one bottle, l felt the
change for better. l took 8 or 10 bot
ties and have been well ever since.
l recommend Cardui to all suffer-

LOOKING
'EM
OKER
BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER

By LOUIS A. BOUCHER
Changes are being demanded in
the methods of scoring used by the
big leagues, the argument being that
present methods are manifestly un-
fair. Here's an example:
Suppose Walter johnson holds De-
troit runless for eight innings. In
the ninth Cobb singles to the infeld,
steals on a low threw, Shotton muffs
a fly and then kicks it around long
enough for Cobb to score the one run
of the game. In the averages John
son is credited with a defeat, no
matter what his opponent on the
rubber did, no matter how much
brilliant fielding saved him in tight
places.
Sure, johnson should have famed
Cobb and the batsman who skied to
right field. Maybe if every pitcher
famed every batsman facing him it
would be all right But the fans
would quickly quit attending ball
games Marking up runs earned off
pitchers is far better than the scheme
now being followed. but it should
also be that pitchers should have
some record OF those games their
support lost for them This is not
now the custom
Here's n Funny One.
The American League is keeping
a funny record this season in its Of
ficial scores. Batsman driving in
runs are given credit. which is quite
correct, but the method Of keeping
this record is a scream. All run
ners on the bases are charged against
the batsman. II any score on ms
endeavor, he is credited with IT.
Suppose Foster comes up with two
out and Shotton on second. He sin
giles to right, scoring Shotton. He
gets credit, But suppose he comes
up with Ayers on second. His single
puts "Old DR.. Cox" on third. Foster
Is charged with an opportunity that
he could not accept, though had Shot
ton been on second. a run might have
decided the game.
1t is possible that the better way
would be for the official scorer to
use his own judgment as to whether
or not a batsman has a chance to
score a runner. As the records are
now being compiled. the totals at the
end of the year will be ludicrous,
and therefore valueless.
Baseball Most Popular.
That baseball is. indeed, the ma
tional pastime" is being proved by
athletic instructors and directors at
army camps all over this country
and in France. Wherever Americans
get together. they want to play a
game of baseball More than 10000
and 5000 bats have been
distributed at the various canton
ments, and all are in constant use.
Next to baseball. boxing is the most
popular form Of athletic endeavor,
with football ranking a close third
More than 6.OOO sets OF boxing
gloves are in use by the soldiers. the
boys seemingly never firing of the
