Bullet Joe Bush. OF Bninerd,

has made some wonderful dlscov-
cries during his soJourn IN japan
with the American baseball team.
Joe first sighted a cross eyed Jap
southpaw. who has a. very puzzling
delivery on account Of has headlight
and now he has found a fluid that
is not beer. nor ale. nor liquor. but
- merely med.une that brings hack
youth
And q must have v70nderfl
kick because Joe SAYS the boys havN
decided 30 stay away from it--that
IS. as much as possible. Joe asserts
that after taking one drink no did
not have 10 shave for four DAYS.
But let Joe tell the story in the letter
printed in the New York World.
Here goes;
Some Real Medicine.
Dear Hug: Get the Cap and
Colonel Jake TO get busy right away
and send over 90 buy a brewery
here which makes the most won
derful medicine that ever was heard
Of and just the thing for ball
players.

things But IT Is powerful a regu-
lar dose makes a man 20 years
younger. What do YOU know about

II pitched like 7 did when ] was
with the Athletics in rs Casey
Stengel took a drop and he played

dose and hes been acting like
child ever since. Why, il 5ust fairly
makes you younger. didnr have
90 shave for four days after I took
my drop. After wha, happened to
us the kids on the trip are afraid
OF the stuff. Why young Hoyt says
II he took a drop he'd be only j.
years old and couldn't pitch az all
I guess that's right
Bring I'm All Back
''But I've got great scheme an
that's why 7 want you tot cornev
the SUP ply OF this stuff. The CoIoneI,
have bought everything in the
world, so they might as well try
this. Wen get a lot and take ~

sign Hans Wagner and Jajo.e AMI
Jimmy Collins and Eddie Plank ana
MCGinnity and Ches5rO and give

OF Il. What would folks say when
we'd put in McGiunlty and Bresna-
han to start game in the new Van
kee stadium or old Cy Young
He'll, There's no limit 20 the posi-
bilnies of this stuff.
It's made out Of roses and onions
or something like that and f. pure
white and smells som ething ike
moonshine whisky and gasoline
would taste II you mixed them. Il
amt great 20 taste, either. But
YOU can give tho boys a drop on

we were a Ettle afraid ~ n ~
first, but there was an old dog they
call Nellie in japanese hing around
the railroad station, and we gave
her a couple drops. Why, she grew
nice, silky hair and had n litter o.
pups a couple Of weeks later.
II have got the bird who make
this stuff located and he won't 4
anything TIL he hears from thN
Co.Ouels. Make them do business.
It's the blggets thing ever"
Here followed the name and sd-
dress OF the manufacturers OF the
mysterious potion which Colone.
Huston Is now guarding with grea-
care.
OF course. there was the usual
postscript from Joe. in - no said
Perhaps you had better keep this
stuff away from the Ba5o II

Stengel HIS drop he began 20 swat
the bail something awful. lie los.

figure Il Is that IL IL has that efec-
on him. what would 80 do 20 "a
socker ike the Babe2 VIM

rext spring He'd be EuDckr= trs
cars of the subway tracks lu c-1-
-rr OF crashing through a.Ea--l-
houses with q terrible oss ot
and maybe the club would rat
Keep il away from him,
