Don't Let a Sluggish Circula.
ti0n Drag You Down
Hill.

Whether you earn your daily bread
by the sweat of your brow, by the
daily use of your muscle, or by tasks
requiring less physical exertion, you
need every ounce Of strength that
you can command.
II is Of utmost Importance, there
fore, that you keep yourself in tip
top physical trim, and that you take
every precaution to safeguard your
health from the many pitfalls which
disease has spread so promiscuously.
Keeping thoroughly well and strong
is simply a matter Of resisting dis
ease.
Why is it that your neighbor is al
ways healthy and robust and strong,
while you find yourself succumbing
to even the most commonplace little
ailments that tend to drag down your
vitality? 1t is true that you are both
liable to the same attacks, but why
does he escape while you do not?
The answer can be found in the
condition of the blood supply. If you
keep your blood thoroughly purified
and free from all substances that
tend to impair it's full strength and
vigor you, too, will be able to prompt
y throw off all efforts of disease to

ON CUBS
IS VERY UNCERTAIN
Pitching and Catching Staff Of
Club Is Admittedly
Superb
By II. @. Hamilton

New York, Jan. 3O.-Figuring where
the Cubs stand just now is like figuring
on the sands of the beach. Before an
other day has passed Charles Weeghman
may have forced some more of his
money on some poor brother magnate
and other stars may be in the fold at
the North Side park in Chicago.
AS they stand now there is no use
picking the Cubs to win pennant, for
they don It line up as a pennant ma.
chine. AT least two National league
elubs'are stronger, or just strong enough
to keep the Cubs from the top.
1t has been stated often enough to
make repetition practically futile that
one star does not make baseball club.
There are several indications that Gro
yer Alexander cannot play baseball next
year. Of course, if he doesn It the stand
ing of the Cubs is going to be even poor.
er than now. His retention in the lineup
will be an amazing help, of course, but
he will find it harder to win in Chica-
go than in Philadelphia, because the
driving power doesn t lurk in the Cub
bats that used to smash across runs
for the Nebraska marvel in Philadel-
phia.
In Merkle, Kilduff, Hollocher and
Deal the Cubs possess only a passing
fair infield, good at second base, untried
at shortstop, fair at first base, and only
fair at third base. Hollocher may fill
the hole at shortstop-or he may not.
If he does the infield still will need
first baseman and a third baseman.
The outfield, composed of Paskert,
Flack and Barber looks a lot better
than most persons are willing to admit,
but it still ranks below other outer
gardens in the National league.
The pitching and catching staffs of
the Cubs are superb. They will be the
force to carry the club.
There is just one element in the Cubs
makeup that makes their outlook roster
than the averages indicate and that is
the canny managerial ability of Fred
Mitchell. The former coach of the
Braves is capable of teaching his men
smart baseball. He showed it a year
ago and he may have the ability to put
it across in better fashion this year.

PHILADELPHIA PRESS
is PANNING MACK
One Time Great Baseball Gen
eraI No Longer Popular
La Home Town
By H. G. Hamilton

Omitted Press staff correspondent
New York, Jan. 30.-If sentiments
Expressed in the Philadelphia newspa-
pers have any influence with the Phil
adelphia baseball fans, William f. Ba-
l1er and Connie Mack, between them,
have perpetrated the two greatest mis-
takes in the history of baseball.
Fandom in baseball is ready to chew
nails. The formerly praised Mack is be-
ing made the target for all sorts Of
attacks. No defense he can think OF is
setting him right with his clientele.
The sale of McInnis was the last straw,
if one was needed. 1t has been suggest
ed that the only thing left for him is
to sell Rube Sehauer and strengthen
the Athletics.
Just shred of a. baseball team is
left to the Shibes and Mack. After a
couple of years paiitstaking expert
menting and shrewd purchasing Mack
had forced himself to a point where
his baseball club again could command
some respect from his contemporaries.
His latest wreclking crew tactics have
Idenuded him of all his glory.
With Strunk, McInnis, Schang, Bush
and the newer players he had gather
ed Mack was in q position to win a
few ball games. The sales of these men
took everything away. Mack has left
only a memory of great days. Years
and years must pass before he can
again expect to step out on even terms
with the others in his league. if he fol
lows along the same lines he has laid
down for himself.
The draft and enlstments in the ar
my and navy took some players away
from Mack, unfortunately the best of
his young players. Very few are left
to him. Most of his men are just $3.50
players, not nearly to be classed as ma
jor leaguers.
There is hardly a. chance that Vean
Gregg can come back sufficiently to
do the slender leader any good Ches-
ter Thomas has passed the height of
his effort and he never was any more
than an ordinary mechanical catcher.
One player is yet to be turned over to
the Mackmen from Boston. Connie may
succeed in turning complete wreck
into lust mere derailment if he picks
the right man.
Mixing in the old timers with few
youths, however, couldn't make any
ball club, to say nothing of the pre-
posterous joke Mack has played.
