YOUNG BALL PLAYERS
DECREASE IN MINORS
Few Good Performers Coming
Up From Bush Leagues.
Recent War Killed OF Many Of Small
er Circuits, Thus LessenIng Crop
Of Promising Recrults-Good
Thing for Veterans.

One of the serious results of the war
from a baseball standpoint Is shown IN
the lack OF young ball players coming
up from the minor leagues. Of all the
recruits taken south by the different
major league teams but very few are
to be seen on the team now that the
championship season is under full
sway. The scarcity of young ball play
ers is a good thing for the veterans,
for Ii will keep them In service long
err, but IT means that 1t will grow more
and more difficult to recruit the big
league teams unless there Is a greatly
increased interest In minor league ball
as played In the smaller cities.
The war killed Off most of the small.
err Leagues, thus lessening the crop OF
young ball players TO be purchased
and drafted. For two years the minors
were either not operating nj all or do.
ing so on a very small scale and with
inferior players. Most of the boys who
would have been starting out on a
baseball career were In the army In
those days and many Of them will new
baseball talent was almost entirely cut
Off for at least two years and the re-
suit is that most Of the major league
clubs are shy OF recruits and are going
ahead with their veteran players.
The present condition among the
minors is much improved so far, es-
pecially IS the larger leagues go, but
II is not at all like Il was before the
war. The reason for this Is that sal
aries and wages In other positions are
so vastly increased that lad of any
real skill or ambition can do much bet
ter BY sticking to his Job than be can
by playing In a minor league Of lesser
classification. II used TO be that boy

$3.50 a month as pretty good money
for starting out with ball team. Now
he can earn much more than that by
staying at home and playing on Sun.

1t Is hard to get smart youngsters to

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority Of those whose appIiea-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. It il on sale
at all drug stores in bottles Of two sizes,
medium and large.
However. If you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.
