NO TEN-SECOND MEN
FOUND In BASEBALL
New York Players Can Run Fast
From Home Plate to First.
Jim Thorpe Doubts If Any Man Can
Cover Century in Less Than
Eleven Seconds While Wearing
His Playing Uniform.

There is no such thing as a ten-sec-
ond man in either football or baseball.
Take the word of Jim Thorpe, 1.-THE
greatest ~all-around athlete America
has produced" James should know.
Thorpe says he'll lay a bet that
there is rot a man in the major leagues
who can run 100 yards in a baseball
uniform in less than IL seconds.
sThere are men on the New York
club who can go from the plate to
first at a rate of speed averaging less
than IL seconds, but they could not
keep it up for 100 yards. Perritt, the
pitcher, has a record of ten flat on
the cinder path, but he could not do
the distance in IL in his baseball
clothes.
"One hundred in IL seconds is fast
travelling. 1t takes training to do
that. When I was at my fastest and
in the pest of shape 1 could never
beat 10 :01 running in flimsy track suit
and running shoes.
"Same goes for football, eve more
so, as football togs weigh more than
baseball suits. Mount Pleasant. the
famous Carlisle quarterback, used to
run away from me in the 100-yard
dash, although I could leave him be-
hind In the 300, but in football uni
form I would beat. him any distance,
any time. The weight of his uniform
slowed Mount Pleasant up at leasI
one second in 100 yards"

HE PROBABLY HAD A VISION
Artemus Ward Said in Jest What To-
day He flight Almost Have Said
In Earnest.

Apropos to the high cost of living In
Washington, the following extract
from one of Artemus Wards stories,
in which he describes q visit to the
national capital during the Civil war,
is Of interest:
"It is easy enough to see why a mar
goes to the poor house or the peniten-
tiary. It's becawz he can't help it. But
why he should voluntarily go and live
in Washington is intirely beyond my
comprehension, and 1 can't say no fair
er nor that.
81 put up at a leadin' hotel. I saw
the landlord and said:
"tHow dye do, square?'
"'Fifty cents" was his reply.
"sSir?'
"Half a dollar. We charge twenty
five cents for lookin' at the landlord
and fifty cents for speaking to him. If
you want supper, a boy will show you
to the dinin' room for twenty-five
cents. Your room is on the tenth
story it will cost you a dollar to be
shown up there
elbow much do you ak a man for

ply.

TWO ASSISTS MADE QUICKLY
George SisIer, First Baseman for st.
Louis Browns, Takes Part in
Quite Unusual Play.

Something unusual in a fielding
achievement is credited to George Sis
Ter, former idol of University of Mich
igan baseball enthusiasts, and now
first baseman for the st. Louis Amer
leans.
During the last Detroit-Brown series
Sisler got credit for two assists in ten
seconds. With two out in the ninth
inning, Ralph Young hit a grounder to
Sisler. The latter did not have time
to beat Young to the bag, so tossed to
Bert Gallia, who was covering the bag.
GaIlia dropped the ball and it rolled
away. Sisler recovered it and threw
to Gedeon a few feet ahead of Young,
who was trying to advance. Gedeon
also dropped the ball and Young was
safe. Sisler got credited for two as
sists, while Gallia and Gedeon were
charged with an error apiece.

Odds AGAINST Bombs.

An ingenious person, says London
Tit-Bits, has calculated the chances
Of the average Londoner being hurt
by enemy bombs. "Taking the area of
London as 100 square miles," he says,
with a circle 60 yards in diameter as
the area in which a bomb would cause
serious Inconvenience, and assuming
the enemy succeeds in dropping 200
bombs in London every month all the
year round; assuming also that there
is an equal likelihood of a bomb drop
ping at any one point as at any other,
the war will have to last 80 years for
it to be likely that a bomb will drop
within ones own circle"

Hot Weather P0iSOnS
| Hit The Stomach First
How to Keep Your Stomach
Strong, Cool and Sweet

Hot weather always starts those
quick chemical changes which pro-
duce poisons in meats, fish, fruits,
vegetables, milk and food products.
Such summer poisons in foods not
only make well stomachs sick but de-
velop with dangerous rapidity in
sensitive, sick or ailing stomachs and
bowels.
These poisons not only generate
gases and fluids which cause that
bloated, lumpyfeeling, heartburn, sour
stomach, belching, acidity, but endless
other stomach and bowel miseries.
IA sure, safe, quick acting relief has
been found which absorbs and eu-
tralizes these poisons, too much acid
and harmful gases. EATONIC Tab

Did 1t ever occur to you what the

Cause for MansIauahter.

It was a Scottish gathering in M Of
the colonies, and what the playing Of
one and only piper present lacked In
skill was made up In energy. At the
end Of a particularly strenuous out
burst, as the piper was taking q short
rest, one Of the guests went up to him.
"That's capital" he said. "Thank
you very much. Now would you mind

Former Cub Player Still President OF

An impression that may have OBJ
tanned from the wording of a dispatch
stating Mordecai Brown had succeed

lumbus team, is erroneous. Tinker
still is president of the club, but he
considered that it would be better for
him to devote all his time to the duties
Of president, SO Brown was put in
charge Of the team on the road. So
successful was he that Tinker decided
to leave him in charge.
