A teacher in a Terre Haute public achool joins in the chorus: "Teaching is a business which re quires a great deal of brain and nerve force. Unless this lorc.e is renewed as fast as expended the teacher is ex hausted before the close of the year. Many resort to stimulating tonics for relief. "Far 3 years I struggled against al most complete exhaustion, getting what relief 1 could from doctors' ton ics. Then in the spring of 1903 I had an attack of la grippe and ma laria which left me too weak to con tinue my work. Medicine failed to give me any relief, a change of cli mate failed. 1 thought I should never be able togo back in school again. "I ate enough food (the ordinary meats—white bread, vegetables, etc.), but was hungry after meals. "I happened at this time to read an article giving the experience of an other teacher who had been helped by Grape-Nuts food.l decided to try Grape-Nuts and cream, as an experi ment. It was a delightful experience, and continues so after a year end a half of constant use. "First, I not'eed that I was not hungry after meals. "In a few days that tired feeling left nie, and I felt fresh and bright, in stead of dull and sleepy. "In three months, more than my usual strength returned, and 1 had gained 15 pounds in weight.

That's the admonition | given with the best approved man ! agerial intent with the view of dou bling the slab effectiveness of Emil | (Reggy) Richter, Cub right-hander, .j With more zip to his curve Reggy should develop into a -whale of a pitch- I er. He now has the speed; in fact, he ! tops all the other Cub hurlers in this | particular department. Prior to catching on with the West ' Side club "Rick" starred in several | close games for the Louisville Coio ' nels, where, under the tutelage of ! Heine Peitz, former Cincinnati back stop. he learned the rudiments of serv j ing an outcurve and outdrop which blended successfully with his known LEFT-HANDERS NOT SO WILD Statistics Show Right-Handed Pitch ers Issued Almost as Many Passes—Leifield Steadiest. The weird performances of some left-handed pitchers have given bugs the impression that practically all southpaws are of the wild and woolly variety. The averages tell a different j story. A comparison of the records of the five leading right-handed pitchers j of the major leagues with those of ; the five best left-handers shows that 1 the control of the southpaws is al i most as good as that of the starboard I fiingers. National League right-handers were ; Somewhat steadier than left-handers, j and the port hnriers of the National ! were a trifle wilder than those in the ' American. Bender, Coombs, Ford, Johnson and ■ Walsh are the leading American league right-handers.

Reggv will tell you he possessed little more than speed and a prayer when he was identified with the Rogers Parkers, I appearing on semi-pro fields around Chicago. Sometimes more than "smoke" is needed to win ball games in major society. Hence the instructions given i Reggy to keep busy. Much is expect j ed from the giant this year and just as soon as he masters a sharper curve his name will likely be seen at regular and stated intervals in box scores of championship combats. .liin ray Archer, who has been working j with Keggy. reports the latter as well | advanced in his pursuit of greater ' curving knowledge. I averaged two passes for every nine innings. Marquard. Sallee, Wiltse, Rucker and ixnfieid. the crack left handers of the same organization, averaged two and two-thirds bases on balls a game. Christy MatViewson. the steadiest of National League pitchers, averaged one pass for every nine innings he pitched. Ed Walsh's average was about one and one-half per battle. "Doc" White was the steadiest of all left-handers, with only one and one half passes ]vor nine innings. Leifleld of the Pirates was the steadiest Na tional left-hander, with two and one third passes per nine innings. Connie Mack has .*? iounoed that he intends to keep Hart, Maggert and (iipe. The most consistent hitter on Grif fith's team to date has been Jack Flynn. Cornell's baseball prospects are poor. The team lost every intielder by graduation last year. Aside from his pitchers, Griffith has but three regular "left-handed hitters with his Washington team. George Mullin says he has set his heart on this being his best year. To make it that he will have togo some, all will admit. George Kahier it is and not Kaler. The Nap pitcher says he is German and that his name contains all the let ters that go with it. Washington sent a scout to sign Pitcher Moran of Washington Lee university, but llughey Jennings beat him to the prize and landed Moran for Detroit. Tom Stark, last year manager of Monmouth and this year slated to manage Rock Island until that town lost its franchise, br.s signed with Wichita. An investigation of the baseball trust is all very well, out many a ball player is in favor of the conviction of umpires for unreasonable restraint ol bases on balls. Complaints are already coming from the Detroit inner circle that Outfield er Hank Perry, secured from provi dence,'lacks ambition and he may not fill the bill as Jennings expected. GAME HAS GONE BACK Anson Says Baseball Not Up to Standard of Old Days. So Many Leagues Requiring Players 1 That There Are Not Enough Stars to Go Around —Gives Names of Old Players. "You ran state it as emphatically as you desire as coming from me, that j the article of ball being furnished in | the major leagues today is not up to ! the standard of play when I was in ; the game." was the statement made by j Captain Adrian C. Anson, one of the ; grand old men of the game. Pop added: "There is a reason for this. The National League was organized in 1876. and the cream of all the players | in the country were gathered together in the eight clubs. The National League had full sway for about ten years. Each season we skimmed off the stars and brought them into the ranks. Then the old American Asso ciation was launched and more play ers were needed. The skimming of players continued. "The American League started ofT by grabbing all of the stars of the National Iveague. Other leagues grew | up and the demand was greater than ; the supply. At the start the Ameri- I can League furnished a better article : of ball than the National, because the j ranks of the latter had been raided. The parent organization had togo out for new blood. It takes years to de- j velop a ball player, even after his na- [ tural ability has been demonstrated, j The National League has improved j until today it is a toss up whether it j or the American Ix>ague is playing the better ball. "The game is fast getting back to where it was when I quit. It may take a few years, but it is bound to get there. Ask a fan of the present gen- I eration to pick stars, who compare j with the old ones, and he will proba- j bly name Cobb, Wagner and Collins j and stop there. Not so in my time J The equal of Buck Ewing as a catcher j has never been known to the game. | They try to tell me that Johnny Ivling was the equal of Buck, but he never j was in his class. 1 can name quite a j few catchers who were equal, if not ; better, than Kling. It is the same j down the line, MeCormick, Clarkson. | Radbourne, Keefe, Welsh. Ferguson j and Rusie were better pitchers than j they have today. No one was ever in King Kelly's class as a base stealer. , For hitters look over this bunch and ' see how they compare with the swat j artists of today; Brouthers, Connors, i O'Rourke, Delahanty, White. Rowe. ; Richardson. Thompson. Many others could be named. "The great trouble with the major league teams today is the fact that they are forced to pick players before ! they are ripe for fast company to fill the ranks. In a few years these young sters will develop into stars, and then they will give a good account of them selves. Voting men are beginning to realize the great field which is open j to them in baseball, and they are ! learning to play the game, which is | bound to get better and stronger in j the years to come." JOE JACKSON IS SPEEDIEST Professional Timer Declares Cleveland Outfielder Is Fastest Man on Bases in League. George Dietrich, a professional , timer of anything that is in motion, | from pacers, trotters, automobiles to I aeroplanes, has become interested in j the speed of ball players, and he de j clares that in his opinion Joe Jack son of Cleveland is the fastest man in baseball.
