Why Doctors Favor
a Liquid Laxative

A doctor will tell you that the care

cause of chronic constipation.

harm done by harsh laxatives that

and kidneys. . ~
Fortunately, the public is fast
returning to laxatives in liquid form.

question that v. P. I. followers are ask

The veteran pitcher is Hobart Portner
Portner is a big right handler whose

eral strong foes last year.
Nine other pitching candidates are
zooming the horsehide into the big
mitts of half a dozen catchers. but
not one can boast of even one inning
in varsity ball. Ralph Mitchell, Leroy
Jennings and Sid Sutherland bagged
nine victories as freshmen in 81. but
were not available for varsity ball last
year. Lindsay, who turned back the

strong team from Oak Ridge Insti-
tute with three scattered hits In plebe

youngster, now Is sharpen

fill a role that Joe Judge held against
all competition Tor II years.
Not since 1929, when Judge was
downed by an attack of appendicitis,
has the boy from Kansas City been able
to get clear claim to the berth. Judge
gave him so much Of battle at Camp
Biloxi last Spring that the veteran was
on the hassock at the start OF the
season and kept the berth more or less
his own for the entire year..
But Krhel's physical condition was
as much responsible for Judge taking
the lead on, him as was the veteran S
fine performance. The boy from Kansas
City reported at camp last semester
with a bad sty on his right eye, an
injured thumb, and feeling below par
generally.
THIS season, Kuhel reached Camp
i Griff full Of snap and pep. and
sans any of the handicaps which
proved barriers to him last year. Only
Joe's batting needed polishing.
Aware that he would have to be up
on his toes at bat now that he was
assured plenty of leeway at first base
Kuhel spent many extra hours at the
Biloxi ball park tuning up in his hit
ting. He would report at the ball field
an hour ahead of the rest Of the flock
with one Of the kid pitchers. The pair
would be in the midst of a lather when
