LITTLE CHANCE
HERZOG TRADE
Klduf and Groh Only Play
ers McGraw Could Con-
slider IN the Deal.

Nsy York. Jan. alt is all right "a
talk about the Giants trading CharleS
Herzog, but where, pray, is McGraw
going 10 secure a competent second
baseman for the Marylander?
In all the National League there are
only two other men who play the key
stone bag as It should be played. One
OF these is Heinie Groh. of Cincinnati.
The other is Pete KiIdun, Of the
Cubs.
There is not a chance in the world
Of Matty parting with Groh. Heinie
has developed into a wonderful third
baseman for the Reds. Big Six might
just as well trade Hermann as think
Of parting with Heinie.
As for KildUff, he is valuable
young player. but it is hard to imagine
McGraw giving Herzog in exchange
for him Particularly as he gave
Pete to the Cubs for Albertus Dem
aree, the human perfecto.
The only chance for q deal for Her
zog seems 10 be for the Giants to Iet
him so for a good right-handed Pitch
er. and take a chance Of playin1I
Jimmy Smith, the former Terrapiuv
Hemingway or Ross Young at second
base in 1915. In this connection. 4
trade of Herzog for MsmauN. OF Pitts
burgh. might be considered.
In this connection. however. it mus
be remembered that HerzOg's Contrac
with the New York club expresSI
states that IT, he is traded or sold
must be TO a club that he is willin
to play with. II is not overlikely thai
Charley would relish joining Hug,
Bezdeks Buccaneers.
Herzog has said that he wants
leave the Giants. The New YorL
club is probably willing TO grant his
wish II il can get a player IL wants
in trade. This is the stumbling block
1t is the easiest thing in the world
10 give a player Of Herzog's reputs-
tion away. Getting what you wand
in exchange for him is something else

Connie Mack Felt Pressure

Stars Of His Club.

New York, Jan. S.-Connis Maci
had a team last season that bore
the earmarks Of a future pennani
contender.
OF course, il didn't have the stamT
OF the one-time champion Mackiar
machine. II didn't have the makingi
OF another $4,000 infeld or the pitch
ing material that the old Mack out
fit had.
But, considering the fact that Mack
was building, and granting him .
few gobs OF credit as a master N
the art Of developing ball players. the
1871 Macks had better things ahead
Of them than seventh or eighth plscs
in the 1913 race.
Mack said about a year ago thai
he was through selling stars. He de-
ciared he was going TO build up
another great team OF Athletics thai
would open the eyes OF the American
League.
Then came the declaration Of wal
of your Uncle Samuel. and the sub
sequent call for the National Army,
Mack lost five pretty fair ban play
ers in the draft Three Of then
were pftchers-Siebold, Noyes and
Naylor. He also lost Ray Bates
an inielder. and Ralph Sharman, an
outfielder.
The loss OF these young player,
was a blow to Mack and he saw
chances ahead for losing stin mors
men, among them Stuffy McInnis.

along with an ofer Of cash and
players in return for the titles q

Jump from Bed
 in Morning and
 Drink Hot Water Tells why everyone should drinK hot water each morning
 before breakfast.

Why is man and woman, half the time feeling nervous, Respondent, worried; some days headachy, dull ana anstrung; some days really incapaci- tated by illness.
 If we all would practice inside bathing, what a gratifying change would take place. Instead of thou sands of half-sick. anaemic-looking souls with pasty, muddy complexions we should see crowds of happy, healthy, rosy checked people every where. The reason is that the human system does not rid itself each day of all the waste which it accumulatcs under our present mode of living. For every ounce of food and drink taken into the system nearly an ounce or waste material must be carried out, else it ferments and forms ptomaine- like poisons which are absorbed into the blood.
 Men and women. whether sick or we'll, are advised to drink each morn ing before breakfast a glass of real hot water with teaspoonful of lime stone phosphate in it, as a harmles ss means of washing out of the stomach, liver kidneys and bowels the indiges- tible material. waste. sour bile and toxins.
 Millions of people who had their turn at constipation, bilious attacks acid stomach. nervous days and sleep less nights, have become real cranks about the morning inside-bath. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will not cost much at the drug store, but is sufficient to demonstrate to anyone it's cleansing, sweetening and freshening effect upon the system.-- Adv.

NEW WAR COLORS BEAUTIFY LIBERTY

Tlre natural spring desire for relief from the sombre colors that have pre- vailed in motor car decoration during the winter, and in fact for several seasons past, is, Tleasingly gratified by the at tractive color designs shown in recent models of the Liberty Six, in which strik- ing use is made of the new war colors.
 One of tke most pleasing color schemes ever turned out at the Liberty factories is that Of the passenger ''chumnly' roadster This car is finished entirely in mist O Marne" blue, a beautiful new war color It is really different, and sets off the four-passenger car 10 a queens taste. The color Is serviceable and at the same time unusual.
 A color combination which is particu- larly pleasing is that in which the two passenger roadster is finished. The body of this car is painted artillery red'' a rich, bright shade. A strip of rounded black holding starts at point few inches from the hood and follows the body lines to the bottom of the rear deck. This rear deck slopes down to a tapered, rounded point The wheels are red, striped with black. The two-passen- ger car instantly gives the impression of thoughtful good taste, while still con- veying an appearance that is far from ordinary.
 The standard "Liberty blue'' of the touring car has maintained such stead fast popularity that this color will be continued. The DeShazo Motor company is the local distributor of this car

ID DARKEN HAIR
 APPLY SAGE TEA A few applications of Sage Tea and Sulphur bring back its vigor, color, gloss and
 youthfulness

Common garden sage brewed into heavy tea with sulphur added. will turn gray streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just few applica- tions will prove a revelation if your hair is fading, streaked or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home. though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound at any drug store all ready for use This is the old time reclpe improved by the addition of other ingredients.
 While wispy, gray. faded hair is not sinful we all desire to retain our youth ful appearance and attractiveness. By Hardening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound no one can tell. because it does it so naturally, so evenly You just dampen sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair. taking one small strand at time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared, and. after another application or two. your hair becomes beautifully dark glos- sy, soft and luxuriant.
 This preparation is a delightful toilet requisite and is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of diseases- Adv.

Not a Poets Work

From the Philadelphia Telegraph
 Addressing a political gathering, Con- gressman William R. Wood of Indiana said that every man should stick to his own job and as an illustration he told of youth who wanted some sentimental verses to send to young woman on the occasion of her birthday.
 Not being much of versfier himself. the youth went to poetic friend and asked him to oblige.
 Why, certainly" generously responded the poet. What do you want me to say to herr"
 "Oh, anything in a poetical way" an swered the youth. "You ought to know what I want. Something sweet and rather tender; but remember that I don't want to commit myself in any way"
 Look here, old pal said the friend, with merry smile. you don't want a poet to draw up your verses-you want a lawyer'

 The greatest promise for the future peace of the world today is to be found believe in the union today of the Anglo-Saxon races, and in the fact that they came into the war, not to help each other, but because they were driven into it by common ideals of freedom and common hatred of ty ranny.
 ''I look upon the maintenance of the alliance and friendships of this war as a matter for which every member of the entente ought to strive with every power Nobody can contemplate with out uneasiness a peace which evolves no permanent settlement of the world If an unstable peace were made, it would be necessary for the great pow CTS, although confronted at home with problems of reconstruction, the like of which have never been known before, to turn aside from those problems, to leave them in chaos, and to grapple rather with the problems of prepara- tion for future wars.
 ENGINES OF DESTRUCTION
 The engines of destruction evolved by science in this war are such that one can easily picture in imagination the entire extermination of civilza- ton if no way is found of putting an end to the destructive development of organization and equipment.
 The aim of every statesman in every country, then. ought to be to find some means of making war impossible.
 T have a good deal of sympathy with the idea that if every country was an equally free democracy there would be less Likelihood of interna- tional conflict in the future.
 But if this war results in showing that the democracies of the world can be defeated by military autocracy, I see little hope for the future
 Tt would help, believe, if all na- tions would agree to abolish con scription. But the Characterization of the remaining autocratic countries would be the greatest possible assur- ance of a lasting peace, for the peo- ples of the world could then develop side by side; they would come to have much the same ideas and ideals; they would mix together more and hatred and suspicion would give place to com radeShip.''
