ball player In order to ctirn
money that he may graduate
from Bucknell CoIIpkc If "Christy"
doesn't lose his stride ho will be able
to bo to Yttlo ntul Join a collcRe fra
ternity." That's the latest choice bit
of Information which has appeared
nbotit the wonder nrintsltiR pitcher of
the New York team, and It Is the
Sunday Ttecord-Herald man of Chi
cago who comments on the Knctory
vllle boy. Mntthewson certainly has
achieved laurels for himself this sea
son, btit It Is no more than what was
predicted by nil who used to watch

The statement made In these col
umns last week to the effect that his
team appears to be knocking the
Bticknell student has been confirmed
by the showing made In the games
Matthewson has pitched since. In
only a few of the games which he has
twirled this season has his team
scored over three runs, and In almost
every Instance the victory has been
dun to his own Individual efforts.
There, are several excellent stickers
on that New York team and they cer
tainly ought to bo able to amass more
than the ono or two runs per game
which Is all they make every time
Matthcwson Is In the box.
George Davis, Selbach, Van Haltreii,
Hickman and Strang are all over
.MO batsmen and hit like evil spirits,
when the other pitchers take their
turn on the rubber. The team tlolds
well behind Mntthewson. but Inevita
bly Is helpless with the stick.
"Big Jack" Katoll, one of the Chicago
American league team's pitchers, has
made but one hit this season and that
was a home-run.
In an article on "The Knr Marks of a
TSall Player," written by "Muggsy" Mo
Oraw for the Chicago Ttecord-Herald,
the great little third baseman says: "I
am not a stickler for some points of
discipline. I never drink in playing
season and never even look a drink
until I was twenty-three years old, and
I have never used tobacco, which X
think affects the nerves and Injures a
man's batting eyes, but I have never
laid down any rules for the men on
those points. Hut I do want early
hours. A ball player needs plenty of
slrep. and 1 ask my m?n to be in bed
by 12 o'clock and earlier if they feel
like it. which they usually do. There
Is no use to lay flown Ironclad rules.
A player who wants to bit ak rules will
find some opportunity for doing so, and
h man who persist!; In doing so is not
valuable to any team. But you will
find the plijyers. as a rule, just as anx
ious to win as the manager or captain,
and are consequently in need of little
discipline."
Joseph Weir, of this city, has been
elected captain of the Villa Nova base
ball team for next season. Weir plays
second huso and shortstop on the team,
which is a very fast one. ile Is' also
quarter on the foot ball team, lie for
merly played with the St. Thomas i'ol
lege base ball and foot ball teanisi, and
was one of Scranton's best all-around
athletes.
The Philadelphia Athletics have at
Inst struck their gait, and Detroit, Chi
cago and the other American league
traders had now better look out for
big'Lajoi" anrl his cohorts.
Huso hall Is not nearly as popular In
Baltimore this year as of yore, and
people there sigli for the days of Keeler
and Jennings again. They declare that
they are only getting minor league ball
this season, ami that the American's
aggregation of teams is not nearly as
fast as those constituting the Nation
al's circuit. Jack Dunn, of this city, is
one of the team's pitchers, and Kelster,
who formerly played third for us In the
Kastern league, Is guarding short Hold.
Danny (Ireen leads the Chicago Na
tional leaguers at the bat with the tine
average of 308. He Is the fleet-footed
outfielder who formerly played left Held
for Springfield.
Recent developments in base ball af
fairs have placed lite hired men in a
posltlon that they occupied before the
Brotherhood strike. Everything seems
to be coming the way of the ball play
ers. Salaries took a leap upward with
out the players .taking for It, and now
the courts have decided that the player
Is no longer the so-called "under dog."
Inile etl. the decision In the T-njole case
practically shows that a player's con
tract is not worth the paper it Is drawn
upon, anil now, that the men are aware
that they can desert a club without
becoming Involved in legal complica
tions, there may be some trouble. It Is
the high salaries that the player Is now
enjoying, however, that will act as a
halve for some of thoso who may have
n grievance. Not since 1S90 have play
eis received so much remuneration for
their services as now. Tito salary limit
of the league Is 32.400. This has never
been adhered to. Up to this year, how
ever, a nlub rarely went above the J.I.
000 mark. At the present time there are
players in the National league and In
the rival organization who are receiv
ing as much ns $3,000, In Boston, for
Instance, Dlneen, who last year re
ceived $2,400, compelled the club to
make out a contract calling for $3,200.
This Is the amount ho was offered by
the rival leaguo club. nnd to hold him
A. H. Sodcn and his partners had to
raise his salary to that limit. Colonel
nosers, who was so badly shocked by
i decision of the court In his suit
ignlnst I.ajoie, Is now justified In say.
Ing that there no longer Is nny money
In base ball for the promotor, JIo had
i hard opposition to overcome to hold
his team from deserting to the rival
'lague. Three of his men are receiving
.nearly $3,500 for their services,

Bicycling.
A racing man whose name Is famil
iar all across the country made an In
teresting statement recently. He Is a
man now 27 years old, and hns been
an attraction on circuit tracks since
ho was IS years of age. He had been
talking about record breaking, and
was asked whether It was due to the
riders, the tracks, or the wheels that
the records went lower every year,
lie replied
"Why, It Is the combination of
everything. The men are wiser in
training methods and more proficient
In track generalship; the tracks are
banked higher, and not only hold
more speed, but force, and wheels nre
better made and run faster every
year."
He was then asked how much he
thought the wheels really had to do
with it. His answer was:
"The improvement in wheels each
year has a great deal more to do with
the making of new records than Is
generally supposed. Take myself, for
example. 1 certainly am not as spry
as 1 was a few years ago, yet I man
i.ge to ride faster each season and
keep in with the main bunch fairly
well. I know that every year my
wheel is faster. The tires are being
made better, the construction of the
wheels, spokes and rims, I mean, are
improved just a little each year, but
enough to make them more resilient,
and that means more speedy. The
bearings are finished and fitted more
perfectly: the chains and sprockets
are harder, more true and more
smoothly finished. Ail these things
mean that the machines run easier.
Then, too, the frame lines have been
improved, and even that counts.
These points do not seem to amount
to much to the ordinary road riders
who take out their old crocks three
or four years old. They hear talk of
'better finish,' 'higher efficiency,' 'im
provement of dntalls' and so on anil
think It Ik tradesman's guff, but the
lacing men know better. You don't
catch the crack riders at any time,
with a last year's wheel. A now
wheel means now speed to them and
they have to get them. Talk about
bicycle improvement being at a halt
to a racing man and he will laugh at
you, There has not been a year when
the standardized American wheels
have not been easier running and bet
ter all around than In the previous
year. A now wheel means seconds m,
the track to a racing man, and it
means much easier going on tho road
for every rider, if they only knew It,
but they don't."
Bowling.
Another 1100 score was bowled last
week and Baltimore, Md now pos
sesses the honor of being the homo of
tho ten pin artist who achieved this,
the crowning point of every bowler's
ambition. Kroh is the name of tho
bowler. Ho scored twelve straight
strikes at Schneider's alley, and thus
added his name to the roster of men
who have scored the highest possible
bowling mark.
"Muggsy" McOraw and Koblnsou,
Baltimore's two crack base ball play
ers, run four splendid nlleya at their
resort, "The Diamond," In tho Monu
mental city. Ten pins nnd cocked
hat seem to bo out of vogue among the
place's patrons, however, and "duck
pins" is the popular game. This Is a
variation of ten pins which has not
yet been Introduced Into the city, al
though long enjoyed. It is played
with ton tiny pins, nnd It Is exceed
ingly difficult to get a strike at It.
Sports in General.
According to private cable dis
patches from New York, the proposal
of the English universities to hold un
nthletlo meeting at Montreal before
they meet tho Americans In New
York Is opposed by Harvard and Yale,
whose athletes want their meeting
with tho Oxford-Cambridge team to
occur first. In reference to this state
ment a prominent Oxford official said:
"Oxford and Cambridge are not In
the least likely to give way on this
point. Quite apart from the proba
bility that Toronto nnd McQIll may
prove a weaker combination than
Harvard and Yale and therefore Ox
ford and Cambridge would naturally
j nrcfer, In their seml-tralncd stage, to
c-cjiuin-ci.- wiiii lesn lurriuiiiiijie uiipuu-
cuts nt first, nnd louvo their more for
midable rivals for a Inter date, the
Oxford nnd Cambridge men would he
perfectly justified In protecting their
own Interests before anything else.
We are receiving a continuous stream
of advice not to court certain defeat
by doing tho bulk of our preparation
In the vicinity of New York during
the Intense heat of August, and most
of September. Therefore wo are seek
ing more Invigorating quarters In
Canada."
Peter Maker, the Irish heavyweight,
may take a trip to Ireland with his
wife this summer, lie wishes to pay
a visit to his parents, whom he has not
seen In years. He says there are sev
eral good men In Ireland whom ho
thinks would make It Interesting for
some of our pugilists, and It Is his In
tention to bring some of his country
men back with him when he returns
and look after their Interests while
here. In other words Matter Is about
to try his hand at managing fighters,
having mnde more or less nt the other
end of the game. "Whore Mailer gets
the Idea that there are great fighters
in Ireland is a mystery. Unless they
are better than he they will stdtrd little
chnnco here. Manor has always prom
ised well, but has never quite made
good. What the public wants, any
manager or pugilist will testify, is an
Irish pugilist. For this reason it Is
to be hoped that Maher will find one.

Golf.
With the opening of tho golf season
comes tho discovery of a new com
plaint, with which amateur golfers aro
threatened. This complaint is known
as the "golf tendon" and results from
tho over-exertion occasioned by ama
teur golfers' efforts to excel In the
sport imported from Scotland.
Several cases In which amateur golf
ers have been temporarily crippled ow
ing to tho prevalence of "golf tendon"
havo already been discovered, although
tho season has hardly opened.
Tho crippling of the golfers Is tho
result of unskillful players placing too
largo a portion of their weight on the
plantarls tendon in their legs.
1'hysiclans havo become acquainted
with many cases In which the plantar
ls tendon has been snapped and a leg
rendered useless owing to excessive
exertion by players. Nearly all the
golfers who havo suffered us tho result
of Injuries to this tendon have been
cither amateurs or skilled players who
have lost their equipoise while deliv
ering dllllcult strokes. Many of the
golfers have been confined to their
beds for several weeks as a result of
their exertions. Although the major
ity of tho golfers havo not broken the
tendon to which tho term "golf ten
don" has been applied, several cases
in which the tendon has been snapped
havo been reported.
As yet the doctors have not succeed
ed In finding the exact cause for the
now complaint. This is owlwj to the
fact that the golfers seldom mention
that they received their injuries while
engaged In their favorite game, xiwlng

Till: I'XIVIiltSITY of Pennsylvania is huy pic
paring lier crews to row for the honor ot
the red and blue both at home and abroad.
First, there is the coming PoiiKhkecpsle
race, the foremost amateur aqnnlin event ot the
year in America, which Pcnn is lonlldent of
winning. Chief interest, however, centers in the
crew to repicsont the University and America
abroad. These sturdy sons of Pen franklin will,
in the early part nf July, row In the Henley re
gatta, on Ihu Thames river, England, nirainst
the picked cicws of Great Britain and Kurnpc,
tor the royal challenge cup, the blue libbcn
trrphy ot aquatics and practically emblematic
cf the world's chanipioii'hlp. VjIo ant Cornell
have in former years bcth striven fir the caviled
prize and failed, it victory is detined to peicli
on the b.innrrs of Pennsylvania this jcai, it v. ill
pl.iii! the university on o dptnn;t pinnacle of
aquatic fame throughout the world, for the
university crew at Henley not only appeals In
supporters of Penn, but is sure to create a wide
spienil intciest tliroiifrlmul the countiy. since
it is the pen of Xincritun colleges representing
Ameiica abroad. An evidence of this interest
was shown bv the way in which citlcns and
alumni leapondcil to the call for contributions
to the amount of ifl.OGO to cover the expenses
which are to be incurred by the crew on their
trip. The amount was greatly oci subscribed
within twenty-four hours.
Kngland is to lie invaded this summer by still
another band of American athletes on the hunt
for foreign scalps. This team will be loinpnsetl
exclusively of champions, no man licini eligible
who does not hold either an American or a
world's rhatnpionshlp in Rome branch nf sport.
The team will not represent any college or ath
letic club, but will go at their own expense
an I compete where and when they please. They
will fail for Ilngland in a few clays to take put
in tac Knglish world's championship gauiei,
which arc to be held on .Tunc 2t, After these
games the team will tour Scotland, Ireland nnd
France, and the record make by American ath
letes abroad last year make the men feel as
sured that they will find a warm welcome await
ing them everywhere they go. The men who
will compose the tram are: Havter, nf the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, who won tho high jump
ing championship at the Olympic: games in Paris
last year; (irant, also of Pennsylvania, who holds
several world's records for running; Duffy, nf
Georgetown, who holds all the world's record?
up to the one hundred yards, and N, without
any doubt, the fastest amateur sprinter in the
world today, and iheldon, Yale's famous weight
thrower. Flanigan, who holds the world's chain
plonshlp record for throwing (lie slNtcen-pound
hammer, had intended to lie one of the party,
but because of an unfortunate, accident occurring
a few days ago, it is doubtful If he will go
along. Flanlgan was throwing the hammer in a
contest at Valo when he mis-directed his aim and
the sixteen-pound Iron ball and handle went
whluing through the air a distance of one hun
dred and cetcnty feet, sulking a spectator on
the head and killing him instantly. It is said
that rianlgan on the tpot resolved never to throw
the weight again as long as he livrd.

Lady Jeuno on Tea Drinking,
Lady Jeuno lias been taking up tho tea drinking
question, ami has written with sonic waiiutli upon
the habit of executive tea chinking on tho part
of young women in domestic) service, a habit
which bho believes to bu Increasing,
"I lave no hesitation in sajimr that it is tho
constant diluting of strong tea which makes
the women nt our tolling masses delicate and
their children anaemic, for not only do thesa
latter inherit that weakness from their mothers,
hut became even giester sinners In this direc
tion than their parents. Nothing," the continues,
"has more seriously injured the health of women
of the working classes than tho cheapening of
tea."
The lubit of drinking "stowed" te is in tho
highest degree deplorable, for It Is well known
that it is the tannin in tea which Is injurlom,
and this naturally i4 extracted in a very strong
degrca when the teapot is allowed to remain on
the ktovo for an hour or more. Then, when
cups of thU obnoxious bcvciago are drunk pro
rnitcuously, supposedly to refresh the tired sys
tem and give ono n "fillip-up" then is tho
harm done. In reality one is pouring to much
poison Into tho system, uud utterly destioylng
tho nerves. Lady Jvune's .timely warning ought

Old age is not a question of years but a question of vitality.
There are young people of seventy-five and old people of sixty.
The difference between these young-old people and old-young peo
ple is a difference of vital force. Where does this vital force come
from? How is it produced? How may it h; preserved? The
answer is that all physical vitality comes from c id properly digested
and assimilated. Food fills but docs not fceu Milcss the processes
of digestion and assimilation arc thoroughly ji-fotmcd. It is from
the nutrition extracted from food that physical vitality is produced.
It is quite possible to eat heartily and yet lack vitality because the
nutrition in the food is not extracted. This happens when. there is
disease of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition.
Then the food is imperfectly digested and the nutritive values are
largely lost. The consequence of this loss of nutrition in general is
physical weakness and in old age it is the forerunner of senile decay.
Strength then in youth or old age is only a question of sufficient
food which is properly digested and assimilated. If vital strength is
produced from food under these conditions, it is evident that this
vital strength may be preserved while the stomach and its associated
organs arc kept in a healthy condition.
It is imperfect digestion and loss of nutrition caused by disease of
the stomach and the other organs of digestion and nutrition, to
which in general loss of vitality may be attributed.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the
stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition in young or
old. It enables the perfect digestion and assimilation of food, from
which alone the body receives its strength and by which it preserves
its vitality.
"When I wrote you for advice, I was feeling very miserable with not simply one ailment
but a general debility,'' writes Mrs. Martha tones, of Claremont, Surry Co., Va. " I pur
chased a bottle of ' Favorite Prescription ' and also otic of ' Golden Meeiical Discovery and
a bottle of ' Pellets.' I soon began to improve and continued taking them until I was feel
ing so well I discontinued. That was last spring, and I continued feeling as well as could
be expected of an old lady stvcnty-thrce years of age. I have so much faith in your medi
cine ; I feel that the number of my days has been prolonged bv taking it. I recommend
Dr. Pierce's medicines every chance I get. I think there is no medicine eeiual to yours
for old people. It makes their declining days easy and cheerful. I would say to the' aged
especially, take Dr. Pierce's medicines, they will help and cure ak.o."
"I was a sufferer from chronic diarrhea for five years," writes Mrs. Mary M. Aaron, of
Rolla, Phelps Co., Mo. "I tried different remedies which would give mc relief for a short
time only. My trouble would return as bad as ever. I consulted you in July, 1900, and by
your advice commenced using Dr. Pierce's remedies. I took two bottles of the ' Golden
Meeiical Discovery,' three vials of the ' Pellets,' and some of the ' Kstract of Smart-Weed,'
as you advised. I have not had any return of my trouble since using your medicines. Am
now seventy-one years old, and I never had anything to relieve me so quick. I think Dr.
Pierce's medicines the greatest on earth. My thanks to you for your advice and thanks to
Almighty God for restoring me to health through your hands."
One of the consequences of partly digested food is the clogging
of the system and corruption of the blood by the accumulation of
waste material. In such a condition some outbreak of impure blood
is quite liable to take place, and the lack of vital force resulting
from loss of nutrition makes disease a hard thing to fight under such
conditions. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery not only cures
diseases of the stomach, but it purifies and enriches the blood, elimi
nating from it the poisons which produce disease.
"Three years ago my husband was taken sick," writes Mrs. C. S. Towle, of San Arelo,
Monterey Co., California. He had three carbuncles. Two on back of the neck and one was
in region of kidneys. It was six inches in diameter and he had the best doctor we could
get. He attended him two months and then said he could do no more for him; that he had
so little vitality there was nothing to build on; that a change might do him good. The
children insisted on his going away, but I said no, if he must die, he shoulel die here in our
own home, but if he could be raised from that bed of sickness I could do it with Dr.
Pierce's medicines. We bought one bottle of ' Golden Medical Discovery ' and a vial of
Dr. Pierce's Pellets. My husband had not been able to sit up, even to have his bed made.
When he had taken one bottle of the medicine he could sit up and go out of doors, and
when seven had been taketi he was in better health than for five years previously. He is
now seventy years old, and can do a good day's work."
As a tonic for old people there is no medicine superior to "Golden
Medical Discovery." It strengthens the stomach, purifies the blood,
and so gives new life and new strength.
