StrikeOuts and a
Pitchers Worth.
tFrom Sporting News.)

Branch Hickey of the St. Louis
Cards is out with new theory. 1t
is this: Neither the games won"
column nor the earned runs" af-
ford an exact indication of the ef-
fectiveness of a pitcher. He explains
as follows: F
I'm both of these systems the
work of pitchers team mates is a
most important contributing factor
to. victory or defeat. The only
statistics published that to me seem
to indicate a real test of pitching
merit are the bases on balls and the
strike outs
Bases on balls tell of the one
weakness of a pitcher, in which his
team mates play no part; in a
similar manner the strikeout is an
indication of efficiency also indie
pendent of team help.
Whenever you see pitcher with
a large proportion OF strikeouts and
low one of bases on ball, mark
that hurler down--he's real star. !
have been testing out my Cardinal
hurlers On this basis and l see no
ground for believing that we are 60
ing to run the rival pitching staffs
into the sea with our efficiency.
Some of my hurlers are, briefly,
rotten / want one other strong
pitcher, however, and think we'll
do. Before l sign him I'll have a
keen eye on his BIB and SO
columns" .. .
There will be general agreement
with what Hickey has to say about
the worthlessness of pitchers who
give frequent bases on balls. but he
can get an argument on his strike
out statement.

You have probably been in the
habit of applying external treat

You have used sprays, washes and
lotions and possibly been tempo

wondered why. You must realize
that catarrh is an infection of the

the catarrh infection must be driven

THE Wildcat of Paris" in which
Priscilla Dean offers one of the most
astounding portrayals ever brought to
the screen. will be the principal at
traction at Mosre's Garden Theater

week. In this amazingly realistic sub
ject are combined narrative based
upon the history of the underworld
Apache in Paris at the outbreak of
the war. and a series of fictional epi-
sodes that rivet attention and COM
mand the admiration of all lovers OF
hiEh-power action. Miss Dean in
the role of Joan of Arc of the under
world submits to all manner of per-
sOnal risks and lends the film a dis
tinction that could be impaired to 1t
by no other actress appearing before
the public. Her support Is composed
of players especially chosen with a
view of visualizing types little known
in this country and the direction and
photography are such as to create
and preserve the atmosphere of Paris

For the last three days of the week

offer as its screen star Miss Billie
Rhodes in the title role OF Hoop
La" a photodrama with a back
ground of circus life that possesses

story of "Hoop-La" is one which
traces the experience of a little or
phan who is reared by a clown in
an obscure ring~show until it is dis
covered by her aristocratic relatives
that she is really an heiress. The
scenes depicting the entrance OF
"Hoop-La" of the circus into exclu-
