take them as directed and 10! the
pernicious habit quickly vanishes.
Druggists refund the money il they

MANAGERS WANT
BASE RUNNERS
TO SPRUCE UP
Laxity Shown Due to Faulty
Umpiring Says O'Day,
Veteran Arbitrator.

Chicago. Feb. 5.-Agitation by
major league baseball managers to
improve base running is said to be
planned for the coming season. One
of the chief reasons for deterioration
of base running, according to Hank
O'Day, veteran national league UNI
pire. is that umpires do not enforce
the balk rule.
There has not been any base run
ming to speak of in the National
league fos several years." said O'Day,
land it could be increased if the UNI
pires would enforce the balk rule.
Base running is al exciting part of
the game. and a pretty play, n that
the fans like to see. Good base steal
ers are important in the game and
help win many contests.
1.-THE balk rule is violated fire.
quently. In the first place the rule
says that a pitcher must face II bat
ter before throwing the ball. If he
does not do that it constitutes a balk.
How many twirlers face the batter?
Few. Any motion Of the body used
to deceive a base runner without de-
livering the ball is a balk. Pitchers
have all sorts of peculiar motions
with their shoulders, arms and thighs
that are deceptive and in direct VIC
lation of the rule. If they were forced
to obey the law base running would
improve many per. cent"

whether he should offer it again as a

Detroit, Mich, Feb. 5.-Tiger fans
are extremely happy over the way the
Detroit club lines up now on paper for
next season as a result of the recent
deal.
Hughie Jennings, everyone knows,
obtained Catcher Eddie Ainsmith,
Outielder Chick Shorten and Pitcher
Slim Love from the Red Sox in ex-
change for man, Oscar Witt. In
view of the fact that Witt is recog-
nized IS probably the best third
baseman in the league. the deal at
first glance didn't look like a. good
one for the. Tigers to outside fans.
But here's why it is expected to
strengthen the team greatly.
In the first place the team was
woefully weak behind the plate last
season. Early in the season Oscar
Stanage, the mainstay, sustained a
broken finger and was forced to sit
on the bench. AS substitutes Hughie
had Tubby Spencer and Yelle. Yelle
was used more than Spencer. The
youngster worked hard. He's a will
ling fellow and tried to deliver. His
catching was fair. but his throwing
very poor. Detroit scribes figure
that the Tigers lost many a game be-
cause of por throwing and support, by

Bulge defeated the Alpha Lamba
Rios by a score Of ~ to 9, and the
Synergoi's cleaned up the Davis Hall
bunch, score 10 to z. in the two Cam
pus league games played at the ~"
gym last night. Neither game was
marked by spectacular or brilliant
playing, although the Synergot-Davis
contest was scrappy and rough and a
number of both technical and per-
sonal fouls were committed.
Weiss and Thorwaldson, playing
right and left forward, respectively,
came out in good'form for Bulge,
while Bowen and Moore for the A.
l.. RS, did a good share Of the work
for that squad. Wenass and Stewart
Clifford played in STELLAR" shape for
the Synergoi's, with Elliott and Nc
Kenzie showing up well for Davis.

A poor crowd came out to witness
the evenings games. There will be
