VETERANS WERE BEST
Old-Timcrs Were More Rugged,
Says Rhody Wallace.
Nothing Less Than Splintered NecK
or Fractured Spine Would Keep
Regular Players Out of Games
of Few Years Ago.
"I often wonder Just why It la,"
'anys Rhody Wallace of the St. Louis
'Browns, "why ball teams of today aro
forced to carry more than twenty
flayers to mako a light for the flag,
and even then aro somctlmos com
.polled to use pitchers In tho outflold
and outfielders around lite InHuM.
"Now, take the old days. When I
-was working under Pat Tobcnu In a
Cleveland uniform In tho early '90s,
wo went through tho Bcaison with ex.
actly eleven men and wo made a
fight for It all tho way. Wo had ono
catcher, Chlof Zlmmer; two pitchers
In Cuppy and Cy Young; four Infield
ors, three outfielders and an extra
guy, who was supposed to fill any va
cant spot, only ho had little tb do, as
tho other ten of us wero usually on
tho Job, where nothing but a frac
tured spine or a badly splintered neck
could crowd us away from tho works.
"Young and Cuppy pitched prac
tically every game. Young had ns
much or more Btuff to use than ho has
now. Uoth he and Cuppy worked as
hard and cracked them over with as
much on the ball as they do today.
"Why Is It, then, that If eleven
men wero enough then, twenty or
moro nro not enough now? Why Is
it that If two pltcherB could work
through a schodulc, six or seven can't
turn the trick without soro arms,
breakdowns, lame backs or something
olso to crowd them away from tho
field?
"Why, I've seen Zlmmer work with
broken fingers, have seen him bind
tbom up with tapo and still catch
great ball. I've scon InfieldcrB badly
spiked, and they no moro thought of
asking for a rest than they thought of
asking John D. Rockefeller for his
shore of tho oil business. They wero
out there to play ball and these things
were part of tho gamo. And when n
ball player was relieved ho had to
come pretty near showing a coroner's
certificate with a signed autopsy to
get away with It.
"It Isn't tbul players of this lattor
age are nny less gamo, perhaps, but
rather that the times liavo changed.
We were ball players then. Today
they aro athletos. We wero not so
particular, maybe, about our condition
through tho off hours, but wo were al
ways on the field, drunk or sober.
"Today the athletes toko beftor caro
or themselves aro more particular
nbout their condition, but tho mana-
Rhody Wallace,
ger Is lucky who can put his regular
Jlne-up Into play for a week's stretch.
"And that's why I was wondering
wondering why twenty-five ball play
ers today, who have tho advantage of
thorough training, who are handled
with the greatest care, who take tho
best posslblo caro of their own condi
tion, In general, are not ablo to keep
going. Whllo twenty years ago eloven
diamond men with no spring training
who took llttlo or no caro of them
selves off the field could Jump In nnd
tight through a Benson without over
knowing what a hospital looked like,
and two pltchors could work n
echedulo out thon and keep In shapo,
while eight can't do It now without
caving under nil along tho routo,
seems hard to understand."
Latest Fad In Baseball.
It Is getting to be a common thing
nowadays for tho managers of major
league baseball clubs to have an as
sistant manager, who does a llttlo
scouting work on tho side. McGraw
,liap Robinson, Griffith has Schaefor,
Jllarry Davis has Paddy Livingston,
iDahlen has Willie Keolor, Jennings
lias Jim McQulro nnd Joe Sugden, nnd
.Callahan of the White Sox has "Kid"
Gleason. Gleason Is an old-time play
er and a great favorite with tho fans
all over the circuit. His playing days
re over, but ho Is very useful to Cal
lahan by assisting him to run the
team.
The Nall-Bltng Habit.
There U small need of calling to
your attention the evil effects of tho
nail biting habit. lilting tho nails la
vldenco of a woak will and a lack of
imontal nnd self-control. To overcome)
the reprehenslblo habit, cut tho nails
Tery close and dip the ends In a solu
tion of quinine or extract of quassia.
This will quickly correct any desire
to bold the hands In the month.

WORKED NEW VACATION IDEA
Western Woman "Hired Out" to Her
Husband, and Is Enthuslastlo
Over the Result.
The following letter wan written by
a woman who lives on a farm In Wyo
ming: "To begin with, then, I'm n ranch
er's wife, and was a farmer's daughtef ,
so I know what lt means to get up
early nnd work till late. I'vo read a
great deal about vacations, but not
much aLout vacations for the woman
on the rui.2h.
"Most wo len who livo on n ranch
know somct .mg about horses, and can
harness aiu drlvo a team. Now every
one kr iws that to peoplo who have
nlwayb worked with their hands Idle
ness is not rcit, and that recreation
come3 quicker and surer from a change
of work; so I 'hired out' to my hus
band. "We have 75 acres of alfalfa, and
hero in tho west men are scarco and
wages are high, so I hired a girl to do
tho housework and take care of the
children, while I donned n pair of
overalls, a Jumper, a broad-brimmed
hat and a pair of stout gloves, and
went forth to take my vacation.
"Tho first day I mowed, and th3
first night I kicked levers and drove
horses all night. I wasn't so enthusi
astic tho second morning, but I mowed
somo more, and raked some, and that
night I slept; nnd I slept every night
that followed during tho hnrvest, for I
'stayed with it' till tho hay was In tho
stack, doing team work altogether, and
when wo were through my husband
said I was 'the best wan on tho job.'
"I was decidedly a better woman,
for I had gained five pounds of flesh,
stronger nerves, harder muscles, and a
coat of tan that hasn't all worn off
yet.
"I told the girl that I was not to be
consulted about anything, so I shifted
tho whole responsibility of the house
hold and did just as the men did;
washed, ato my meals, and then rest
ed till time to start to work again.
"My girl cost me four dollars per
week and I mado $12, which left me a
clear gain of eight dollars per week
In cash, besides tho other good things.
I felt so rested when I took up tho
reins of, the household again that
what had before been a task was now
a pleasure. Really, It did seem good
to cook a meal once more, and I had
not thought lt posslblo." Woman's
Home Companion.
Had Given Him Wrong Banner.
Charles R. Holden told tho following
Btory at a banquet given to some law
yers and their wives at Chicago:
"A prominent educator of a co-edu-catlonal
institution recently told with
evident appreciation tho following
experience of a prominent professor
of a celebrated university in New York
city:
"Tho professor Is blessed with a par
ticularly energetic and progressive
wife, who Is a leader In the suffra
gette movement. When tho recent
demonstrative procession was organ
ized In New York sho Insisted upon
tho professor adding his influence to
tho movement by participating in tho
procession. He yielded and set out.
Tho wife's prominence In the move
ment gavo her a place In the review
ing stand and she was mortally chag
rined to see tho professor, shame
faced, straggling along, carrying his
hanner in such a drooping and care
less way that Bho could not even seo
what was upon lt.
"At the first opportunity her re
proaches fell flerco and fast on tho
professor, who finally managed to
break in with, 'But, my dear, my dear,
you really must not blame mo; I had
an awful time. What do you think
that banner was? Imagine! It was
a most horrible cartoon of a whisky
soaked and bedraggled bum with tho
motto, "This man can vote, why can't
I?""'
Tho Weak Spot.
All the day's piuvlslons except tho
butter ero ordered by telephone. Tho
housckcepor came to tho store to pick
that out herself.
"That Is a peculiarity of many
women," said the grocer. "No matter
how long they have been trading with
a grocer or a butcher, no matter how
reliable they may know him to be,
they mako n hobby of one certain com
modity on which they distrust his
judgment. Everything olso may bo
ordered by telephono or through tho
clerks, but they insist upon coming
to the store and picking out that par
ticular article. Somo women want to
sort out tho eggs, others must taste
and smell tho butter, or maybe lt Is
tho tea or tho coffee or the cheese
they are suspicious about. It's a
queer notion. If they can trust us In
other things lt stands to reason that
we'd give a square deal all tho way
through, but theso doubting ThomaseB
will take no chances."
