McGraw thinks he has great young
pitcher in Jesse Winters. The young
ster is quick to learn.

California youth, former collie
gian.
The critics ara beginning to say that
in Berger the Athletics have discov-
cred young catcher who has the
makings.
Southworth, former A. A. player,
now with the Pittsbufghs, will occupy
the cleanup position for the Pirates
this season.

n
Sunday baseball in New York State
has stirred up some of the old spirit
that kept the New York State league
alive and there are hints of attempts
to reorganize the circuit. ~
Baseball managers with stars bach
from the Shipbuilding league will be
lying awake nights now trying to
think of something they can put on
the bail that will make it look like q
rivet.
Nick Cullop, pitcher secured by the
st. Louis Browns last year in the big
deal with the New York Yankees, but
who refused to report, has been heard
from to the effect that he may como
back.
Walter LeverenZ, southpaw pitcher
on whom the Salt Lake club was de-.
pending much for the coming season,
has been discharged from military
service, but does not seem inclined to
return to baseball.
Ping Bodie is an old timer as ball
players go, but he is mighty spry these
days and a. far better player than he
gets credit for being. Ping just radi.
ates optimism. He is counting his
worlds series money already.
The decision against organized base
ball will not cause any change in the
rules governing the game, according
to the national commission.
Miller Higgins starts off well with
left-handed pitching, but is much in
doubt as to his right-handed meQ
! bers.

Radium Production in United States


C. HI. Viol, writing in Science, states
that the total production of radium
element in the United States down tt
1919 is about 50 grams, which is
probably more than half the total
radium produced in the world. Dur
ing the war, with no carnotite exports
the greatest part of the worlds ra'
dunn supply has been produced in this
country. In 1918 the United States
produced 1876 grams, With regard TIC
a discussion that has occurred con
corning the amount of radium thai
can be produced from the carnotite
fields, Mr.. Viol says that the carno'
tite holdings of the Standard Chemical
company, which comprise about Boz
claims and are the largest holdings I'M
der the control of single concern,
are estimated to be capable of yield
ing at least 500 grams OF radium.-

California produces yearly about
1000 tons of apricot pits, and home

ter oil of almonds), a cooking meal
and a cleansing meal, and American

Old Name for February.

The old Britons gave the nickname
"Fildyke" to February, not because 1T
Is particularly wet month, the aver
age rainfall being the least OF any
month in the year, but because the
melting snow on the hills causes the
rivers and dykes to overflow. When
there is superabundance OF snow ana
rain in February there is too much OF
what would be good thing in modera-
ton, and floods where they are least
welcome.

Business Viewpoint.

"What do you think about the posi-
bility of Mars beir inhabited?
"Pve never given the matter much
thought" answered the practical bust
ness man.
"But the idea is interesting"
maybe so, but not to me. Even if
there were people on Mars and we
could get there, 1 don't think it would
be a good market for our product. l

the conference light-heaHed and de-
termined to give up the. best he had
for the Cleveland owner.
Chapman's record shows clearly the
result of that conference with his boss.
He was easily right among the top
netchers on the shortstop job and he
has remained a real star ever since.
Chapman swears by Magnate Dunn,
and cites his little experience as tend
ing to show what a little heart-to-heart
confab will do for owner and player.

EXHIBITION GAMES PAY WELL
Final Contest in San Francisco Be.
tween Cubs and Seals Drew
10000 Paid Admissions.

The Chicago Cubs in their exhibition
games in California with Coast league
clubs drew better attendance than for
three years past. They take it to
mean revival in baseball interest
but maybe it was because the Coast
league teams generally were swatting
the Cubs hip and thigh. The final ex-
hibition game in San Francisco be-

ICED sport this season. with
the legalizing of professional
games. in the metropolitan dis :

Thin PEOPLE
SHOULD take
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro.Phospnate
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 f1eshy, 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 usually 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 as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as bitro- phosphate, which is mex
pensive and is sold by most all druggists
under guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. BY feeding the nerves directly and
by supplying the body cells with the neces-
sary phosphoric food elements, bitro -phos-
phate quickly produces a welcome trans
formation in the appearance; the increase
in weight frequently being astonishing.
This 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. soon disappear, Dun
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom of perfect health.
CAUTION: - Although bitro phosphate
is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
sIeeplessness and general weakness, 1t
should not, owing to its remarkable flesh
growing properties, be used by anyone
who does not desire to put on flesh.
