REGULARS STILL

Young lack Dempsey Has Ar rived for Bout Here With
 Gomez Tuesday
Rv MARVIN MCCARTHY

The guy who said, Make hay while the sun shines" must have Nbeen think ing of one chubby baseball pilot when he coined those immortal words, for Moley certainly struck while the iron was hot yesterday, meaning. of course that the weather gods uncovered bit of sunshine for him and that the Barons were sent through as hard q workout as they have had this sea son. day of sunshine and pleasant weather is almost a rarity these days. A nine-inning practice game was played between the regulars and van nigans, with the former coming off victorious, to 2. This game. unlike .he others, was featured by some heavy hitting. A couple of two-baggers en- livened the contest up bit.
 Chandler and Trotter pitched for
 the regulars, while Frenick and
 Bates twirIed for the Yannigans.
 It must be safd to Bates credit that
 he reiived his system of five as
 pretty innings of baseball as have
 been pitched at RickwoOd this sea-
 son. The sorre1-tOppeI youngster
 seems to need only experience to
 become a regular demon hurler.
 Chandler and Trotter faired fairly well at the hands Of the yannigans, as the to 2 score will show. Frenick Hurled some good bail for the yanni- gans, though the heavier hitting regu- lar nine had an advantage over him when he was in the box for tse re- serves.
 Bates great work was the feature of the game, although it was pleasing to note the increasing ability of the Baron batsmen to hit the ball for safe hits.
 Moiey's men wiii take the fieid>
 again this morning to have batting
 and infieId practice, while a nine
 inning practice game will be
 played this afternoon.
 The line-ups yesterday were prac- tically the same as for Thursdays game, with change in pitchers, oi course.

A BARON A DAY
By MARVIN MCCARTHY

This young Pacific coast product seems to have all the essentials of a good, first-class ballpIayer, though, of course, he needs bit of experience in professional baseball before he can hope to hold down a job with Class A club. Willigrad comes straight from semi-pro baseball to the South ern league, which is quite jump, one that is only occasionally success fully accomplished by any youngster, however promising he may be.
 Willigrad made quite reputation among semi-pros and amateur horse hide chasers out on the coast, and his recommendation by Cy 5iapnicka, for mer Baronial spitball narler, was warm one. Cy writes ,nat Wiiiigrad was the class of the iezgue in which he played. and that he would surely show something with the f1arons. And Willigrad has shown something, but whether it is enough to warrant the Barons keeping him on the clubs list will not be known un;;1 Molesworth begins his weeding our of the squad
 He's big boy in every sense of
 the word. He stan-s SIX feet one

before breakfast.

To see the healthy bloom In your
face, to see your skin get clearer
and clearer, to wake up without a
headache, backache, coated tongue
or nasty breath, in fact to feel
your best, day in and day out, just
try inside bathing every morning

Before breakfast each day. drink
glass OF real hot water with
teaspoonful of limestone phosphate

ing from the stomach, liver, kidneys
and bowels the previous days indi-
gestible waste, sour bile and toxins,
thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire alimentary ca
nal before putting more food into
the stomach. The action of hot
water and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully
inyigorating. 1t cleans out all the
sour lamentations, gases and acid
fty and gives one a fine appetite
for breakfast
A quarter pound OF limestone
phosphate Will cost very little at
the drug store, but is sufficient to
demonstrate that those who arc
subject to constipation, bilious at
lacks, acid stomach, rheumatic
twinges or whose skin is sallow
or pallid, that one week of inside
bathing will have them looking and
feeling better every way.-(Ad-
