in the pitching rules has been a
factor because batters have more con-
tidence when they step up to the plate 3"
Shocker is one of the few remain
ing spitballers and he has made it a
most effective weapon. He does not
believe however, that the use of for
eign substance on the ball should be
necessary to make q great pitcher.
There always will be way of put
ting a hook on the bal without beat
ing the rules" he says. Look at Joe
Bush. He has perfected fork ball
and it has made q new pitcher out of
him. He lets the ball go out between
his index and second finger and it
acts Just like a splitter. There always
will be some similar ways of getting

Grover Alexander, another of the
games greatest pitchers, is of the
opinion that the lively ball is response
bic for loose baseball. He has the
theory that the pitcher is almost re-
moved from the line of defense and
that % per CENT more territory is
forced upon the shortstop and the sec
ond baseman. Where pitchers used to
average five or six assists per game,
he maintains that under the present
conditions a pitcher seldom gets more
than one or two.

FRUIT MEDICINE
"FruIt-a-tIyes' Is The Only

MARVELLOUS RESULTS

The fact that "Fruit-a-tives" Is the
only medicine in the world made
from fruit juices-that it is entirely
different from any other preparation
for the treatment of diseases the
one big reason why SO many people
are willing to give tia fair trial. They
have used dozens of other treatments
for Constipation, Liver and Kidney
Trouble; Headaches, rheumatism
andNeuralgia; Indigestion, Dyspepsia
Nervousness; Lack of Appetite, Poor
Blood, Skin Diseases and rundown
condition ofthe system. They realize
that they must have something diff
ferent from the ordinary remedies in
order to cure themselves.
"Fruit-a-tives is different. It is
the discovery of a physician, who
after long experiments--succeeded
in Transforming the juices Of apples,
oranges, figs and prunes into an en-
tirely new compound. BY combining
these intensified fruit juices with
tonics and antiseptics, he created a
new substance, which had all the
medicinal properties of fresh fruit,
but in more efficient form. There
can be no substitute for ''Fruit-a-
tiyesn because "Fruit-a-tives" is the
only medicine made from uitjuices.
