The slump of the Pirates has peeved Fred Clarke very much. Jim Delehanty of the Tigers has had the beat season of his career at bat. Rob Harmon of the Cardinals Is the life-saver of the Cardinals, as Mor- decal Drown is for the Cubs. Roger Itresnahan says that he doea not know whether ho will be at the head of the Cardinals next year Roger Rreanaban predicts that Harmon of the Cardinals will be the best pitcher In the game next year. According to some one who has kept count, the Cubs have been ousted out of first place 10 dlatlnct times this sea son. President Pan Johnaon of the Amer ican league denies the lively bull of the early season has been replaced by a deader ball. Nap Rucker used to be a type slick er in Aipnaretia, ua before he was lured to the diamond by the promise of a big salary. Walsh Is the third of a short but IlluatrlouB lino of no-hlt pitchers for the Sox. Jlmmie Callahan and Frank Smith were the others. The Austin team of the Texas league has broken all world's records for consecutive victories, by winning twenty four straight games. Ten Million, the center fielder from the Victoria team of the Northwest ern league, secured by the Naps, Is a son of Judge Million of Seattle. f irst uaaeman linker, sent to Brockton by the Red Sox as part-pay for Henrlknen and Ixmergan, has been released by the New Englandcrs President Dreyfuas of the Pirates Is snld to be a bidder for the Des Moines club in the WeRtern league, which bo will use as a fnrm for the Pirates Catcher Mike Simon of the Pirates hns been having a sad time o fit. His wife had Just recovered from a long Illness when his baby took sick and died. Ralph Mattls. the Richmond Colts' hustling young left fielder, the young ster who is leading the Virginia league as a slugger, has been sold to Wash ington. Ilradley Hogge, who has been with Haverhill, has returned to Boston with an "e" added to his name since he has been sojourning in the New England league. It developa thnt Chicago gets Zim merman from Atlanta In exchange for ntcner Foxen, who was sent to that club. So the Cubs may yet have some thing to show for Uiderus. Cincinnati after looking over Short stop Joe French of the Ashland-Cat ticBourg team concluded he was too small and he was Bold by the Mountain-States club to San Francisco. The Boston Nationals, It Is said, will get Bill Schwartx, manager and first baseman of the Nashville team of the Southern league. Will he be a candldnte with Kllng and Donlln for the job of bossing the team? Pirate Steele's feat In allowing but one hit In Brooklyn was a wonderful performance. He gave no bases on balls, but 28 men faced him; the twenty sixth, who was Erwln, singled In the ninth and was the only man to reach first. Too bad Erwln got that hit Jones to Coach Michigan. According to a friend of Tom Jon. the first baseman of the Brewers, will coach the University of Michigan baseball candidates this fall and next spring. Jones Is cold to have been offered $1,400 for .fourteen weeks' work and he has accepted it. Jones' ankle Is still badly swollen and It Is doubtful if he will get back Into the game for another month. Jennings Blames Highlanders. Hughle Jennings says the New York Highlanders put the Tigers out of the running for this year's pennant. Case of Neal Ball, Who Performed Re markable Feat of Triple Play Un. assisted, Is Cited as One Instance. There Is a risk about doing the sen sational In baseball. Though It Is the proper aim of every player In the game to do the unusual and remarkable, enough deadly In stances could be furnished of notable achievement followed by oblivion to make the diamond workmen strive to keep out of the limelight all the time. A case Is furnished In Neal Ball. Ball was Idolized, but be did not last. It la only a couple of years ago sine Ball was the principal figure In a re markable celebration on the Cleveland grounds. He had performed the remarkable feat of making a triple play unassist ed. The town turned out to do bim honor. A medal waa presented to the ahortstop on a day set apart as "Neal Pall day." In the world's series of 1906 tbe White Sox won because at timely stagea Third Baseman Rohe, playing as a substitute for Taunehlll, let loose two triples. Chicago hailed Rohe as one of the great men of baseball, but a year later found him playing third base on the New Orleans team In tbe Southern league. Bill Harris of Boston had the honor or pitching twenty-four Innings, the longeat contest In rue history of base ball, in the memorable game In which Jack Coombs beat Boaton In 190S. BUI looked tike another phenorn to take the place of THneen, whom he some what resembled In appearance and movements. But the twenty-four In ning game was the last Important piece of work to the credit of Harris, and he shot back, to the minors the next jjenr. Bahe Adams climbed the very sum mit or baseball fame when he took three games from Petrolt in 1909 and won the world's championship for the i Pirates. But Babe nas far from being j a notable performer Inst season. Covaleskle was another man who had a great fall. Tbe big Pole, who had been signed by the Phillies In 1907, only pitched a game or two and was sent back to Iwinraster to get a little more cxperlcrre. He came to the. Phillies at the ena of the year while New York was making Its ter rific battle for the National league pennant. The large number of games tbe Phillies hnd to play the Giants in the cloning days of the session put them In a position to decide whether or not the pennant should go to New York. After Corrldon and McQuillan had mysteriously fa!ed to show their uaual effectiveness agalnat New York Covaleskift was tried on a chance. He pitched amazing ball and beat the Giants three times In a serloa, thereby putting them out of the race. WEAK, ILL AND MISERABLE.

ODDITY IN BASEBALL SHIFTS Germany Schaefer and Jim Delehanty Traded Jobs as Second Base men Now Play First. Crsck first basemen are mighty scarce, so scarce In fart that two clubs played second basemen on the Initial sacks during the greater part of the season. Peculiarly, the two second basemen thus transferred figured la a deal two years ago, Jim Delehanty being traded by Washington to De troit for Germany Schaefer and Red Kllllfer. Now Germany Is playing the first cushion for the Nationals, while fi,r 3,i IS ( Germany Schaefer. Del took Gainer's place for the Tigers. Other men in the big leagues play ing first that started elsewhere are George Stovall of the Naps, Frank Chance of the Cubs, Fred Tenney of the Boston Rustlers, and Jake Daubcrt of the Brooklyns. Chance and Tenney were catchers. Stovall and Daubert pitchers. Pitchers Keep Ball Low. It la a noticeable fact that the most successful pitchers these days are those who seldom pitch a hl?h ball, and yet there was a time when the high ball had the batters guessing. Today, however, the pitcher with the high ones does not Inst long. The batsmen have mastered this delivery and the pitchers have been forced to change their stylo of pitching entire ly. There are decidedly few players these days who hit the low balls and very few who cannot hit a high one. Most of the long hits made during a season are on balls that are pitched above the waist Not only Is It eas ier to follow the course of a ball which Is pitched on about a level with tbe waist line, but the swing In most Instances Is more natural. She Religion Is a wonderful thing. He Yes; but some people only look on It In the light of fire Insurance. PHYSICIAN SAID ECZEMA CAME FROM TEETHING "When my little girl was about eight months old, she was taken with a very irritating breaking out, which came on her face, neck and back. When she first came down with It, It camo in little watery-like festers under her eyes, and n her chin, then after a few days It would dry down In scaly, White scabs. In the daytime she was quite worrysome and would dig and scratch her face nearly all the time. "I consulted our physician and found She was suffering from eczema, which he said came from her teething, used the ointment he gave me and without any relief at all. Then wrote for a book on Cutlcura and pur chased some Cutlcura Soap and Oint ment at the drug store. I did found directions In the Cutlcura Book let, and when she was one year old, she was entirely cured. Now she Is three years and four months, and she has never been troubled with eczema since she was cured by the Cutlcura Soap and Cutlcura Ointment."
