LET WHIsTLERs BE WARNED
New York Newspaper Is Emphatic
In lts Declaration of uncom- d

Reader, have you ever been made
frantic and exasperated beyond meas
ure by some man whistling in your
neighborheod? Did you ever sit in a
tram car and hear one of these
nuisances blow noises out through
puckered lips? If you have, you can
well sympathize with the unidentified
person who listened to Moses Cohen
whistle In local motion-picture thea
ter and arose and slew him on the
spot. We regret the killing; it was
uncalled for; unlawful; dreadful; not
to be tolerated. Law sleuths are on
the track of the killer, and, of course,
as upholders of law, with almost puri-
tanfcaf vehemence we hope he will be
caught. And yet persons
should not whistle in cinema theaters,
or in tram cars, or in the streets, or
in shops, or in newspapers offices, or
any other place on the face of the
green earth where they can be heard:

thin PEOPLE Il
/ SHOULD take
PHOSPHATE
Like Plain Bitro-Phosphats
to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, vigor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
ing advertised for the purpose of making
thin people deshy, developing arms, neck
and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines of health
and beauty, there are evidently thousands
of men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are often due
to starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than Is contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there Is nothing
that will supply, this deficiency so well az

pensive and is sold by most all druggists
under a guarantee of satisfaction or money

by supplying the body cells with the nee
essary phosphoric food elements, bitro-
phosphate should produce a welcome
transformation in the appearance; the in
crease in weight frequently being aston

Increase in weight also carries with It
q. general Improvement in the health:
Nervousness. sleeplessness and lack OF
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, should disappear, dull
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom of perfect health.
Z CAUTION: - Although bitro-phosphate
is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
sleeplessness and general weakness, 1t
should not owing to it's tendency to in
crease weight, be used by anyone who
does not desire to put on flesh.

knock them all cold is to loudly an
nounce: 81 discovered Ty Cobb" or "If
it hadn't been for me Eddie Collins

Donovan comes out with the announce
ment that he was the real Edison who
gave Ty Cobb to the baseball world.
Harken to Willyum:
Made Jennings Laugh.
"It was way back in 1915 when De-
troit was training in Augusta, Ga, and
the captain was regular busher. Ty
attra cted little attention, for he was
terrible fielder and tried to run
through the fence in every game.
Hughie Jennings used to laugh every
time Cobb ran out on the field, for
there was nothing about him that even
suggested future star. His hitting
was Of the bush league variety, and
when an outfelder can't hit it's time
to forget all about him.
"Detr6ft had a chance that year to
get Cobb f5r nothing, for the Augusta
club had made a deal with Jennings
whereby he, would have the privilege of
selecting any player on the team If his
ball club did ats spring training In
Augusta. To show what a hit Cobb
made, Clyde Engle, the infielder, was
chosen and Tyrus the Great allowed to
remain in the tall grass.

Washington clubs success each sea-
son for the last few years with only
Walter johnson to star on the rub
Der. These cases, according to Nc
Graw, are good grounds for his ar
guInent.
BeZdek declared a ball club must
have something more than good pitch
ing from one pitcher, and he backs
his argument with the story Of Will
bur Cooper's work for the Pirates last
season. Cooper lost nearly all of his
games by one run simply because the
Pirates did not have the necessary
punch to aid him with a run or Two,
says Bezdek, and the speech sounds
reasonable, too.
The argument was not ended in the
one session. but there is much evi.
dence on both sides that is deserving
of serious consideration. McGraw's

Hugo Bezdek, Leader OF Pirates, De-
clares Club Must Have More Than
One Winning Pitcher-Prob-
lem Open for Discussion.

Baseball managers do not lamp
the possibilities of ball club in the
same manner. At the January pow
WOW in New York, some Of the major
league pilots were discussing pennants
and pennant chances. John McGraw
of New York started live discussion
when he declared one winning pitcher
can make flag contender out of an
otherwise mediocre club. McGraw's
views were shared by some of the lead
ers. but Hugo Bezdek of the Pittsburgh
Pirates does not accept the McGraw
dogma.
McGraw pointed to the success of
the Giants when he had none other
than Matthewson to depend upon for
mound duty. He also recalled the
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1919-06-13

contention that a winning pitcher gives
club 25 per cent more confidence
may be logical, but as Bezdek said:
"It's tough proposition to ask one
pitcher to keep a club in the race, and
any manager who follows this course is
travelling on narrow path" Like
many more problems in baseball, this
one was made for discussion.
