HARD HITS DROVE IN MANY RUNS ' - **• moripso* f*vor~o Jack Murray, Slugging Outfielder of Giants. The hundreds of New York fans who saw Jack Murray go through the world's series without getting a hit sac -bea wondered if McGraw would drrp him from the team in 1912 may 1* surprised to know that this red healed young Irishman is the White Hope of the Giants. if ter looking over the bright galaxy <f fence busters for the spring we End that the name of Jack Murray lends them all. He is the toast of the team and the pride of McGraw. Never la bis life has Bed played such havoc • «h spring pitchers Several of the players were dis cussing Marray's failure to hit in the tig series, and lor the Erst time Mc Graw discussed that much mooted vubject. "W hile be didn't get a hit." said McGraw. “| was quite well satisfied with Ms work, for he hit them all hard and on the nose, lie was un tatky ia haring his drives thoot s’raighT at some fielder. I never had any Me* at letting him go. In criti i cizing Murray for his lack of batting. •he fans probably overlooked the fact j that during the season he drove in i many a winning run with his long smashes.” Hal Chase May Retire. Hal Chase, it is predicted by many I followers of the game. Is about to the end of his string as a ball player. Not because Hal has not the ability to continue, for the wonder of the initial sack still has several top-notch years sewed up in his career if he cares to take advantage of them, but Chase is becoming weary of baseball. His pres ent illness, it is stated, has made him turn his thoughts to other things, and if he does go back on the diamond 'his year it will in all probability be his last. The loss of Chase would be a hard blew for the national sport, as his name has been written in history with Honus Wagner. Nap Lajoie. Ty Cobb and the other great diamond heroes. “INSIDE BALL” PUZZLE Explanation of Term That Both* ers Many Enthusiasts. In the Long Run Team Which Plays Game as It Should From Start of Season to End Will Finish Better Than Its Rival. “Inside ball’ is a term which puz zles many enthusiasts. The expres sion immediately brings to mind se cret manipulations on the diamond and is general!? passed up as being too deep. In reality inEide ball is nothing more or less than playing the game. There is no mystery about it. Of course, every major league and minor league squad has its “signs.” or signals as they are called by the fans, writes Malcolm McLean in the Chi cago Evening Post. But so have foot ball teams and basketball squads. Take the average ball game. The home team is at bat. nobody is down and there’s a runner on first. The , batter tries to lay down a sacrifice bunt, and misses the ball. "Aw, hit ’er out,” yells a bleacherite in disgust. Then he turns to his neighbor and growls. “Gee. I can't stand for that kind of a game. What’s that guy try ing to bunt for? Why don’t he hit ’em to the fence?” This instance is one of the many "mysteries" of inside ball. It's play ing the game to sacrifice that man around to second, from which point he can easily score on a single. If the batter tries to hit safely right from the jump there's the immediate danger of a double play, and two men out. Tjftce another case. There's a man on first and a left-hander at bat Such a hitter generally slaps one to right field or between first and second. So. : naturally, as soon as the ball is bit j the shortstop runs to cover second in the hopes of negotiating a double play If the batter hits right-handed the sec ond baseman usually covers second Yet this is the so-called inside ball which has so many fans wondering w!i-»t’s it all about. The Cubs in the past were called masters of inside ball The reason was they had played together so long that every man knew the instant the ball was hit just what to do under the circumstances. In other words, it was second sense or "inside ball” if you prefer. Yet this style of play doesn't af i ways win—far to the contrary. Fre quently the Boston Red Sox have thrown inside ball to the winds and played the hit-and-run game instead of sacrificing They broke up the defense of the rival teams by pulling stuff when not expected. It’s far more spec ; tacutar if they get away with it For instance, with first and second occu pies and none out. to have the batter ; knock the ball over the fence at the first pitch warms the cockles of the heart more than a dinky little bunt and an out at first But you'll find that in the long run the team which plays the game as it should from the start of the season to the end will finish better than its rival, if both squads are about equal [ in strength. Changes at Toledo. Manager Hansel or the Hens is said to have come to the conclusion he tad better stay out of the game and play Art Griggs in the outfield. It looks as if he was going to let Fred Uernck stay at first base. Speed of Cincinnati Reds. The Cincinnati Reds have snown a big improvement in base running ana tbis Is in a great measure responsible for their sensational work. They nave i much natural speed and Manager Hank O'Day is making the most ot 1 this. OVER 61 FEET OF PITCHERS Smallest of St. Louis Twirlers is 5 Feet 11 Inches. While Tallest Is 6 Feet 4 in HeighL What do you think of a fellow stand ing 5 feet XI inches being the baby of the pitching staff? That's the distinc tion that belongs to Geyer, of the St. Louis Nationals. He is one of ten twirlers and he is the smallest That I is in the matter of height. When it ■ comes to slimness he isn't in a class with Slim Sallee. The southpaw has them all beat when it comes to cir- I cumference. It’s doubtful whether there is a pitching staff in the country that com pares with the Cardinai's—in height Of the ten men. nine stand six feet or , better. Deill. a youngster, is the giant of the giants. He is six feet j four inches tall. When he gets on the i Robert Harmon. high mound and begins to shoot his overhand fast one at the batters they get the impression that he's standing on a housetop. I Willis is next in line. Kis hair is six feet and three inches above the earth when he is in his stocking feet. Dale, another youngster, and Golden, the lad with all the speed, along with Steele, the lad who lacks control, are tied for third honors. They are en titled to membership in the six-foot two club. Harmon, the iron man. an 1 Slim Sallee, are just an inch shorter— not their combined height', for if the slim fellow was not afraid of bending and would allow Harmon to stand on i his head, they would tower 12 feet | and two inches above the earth. Woodburn is the six-footer of the ag 1 gregation. His companion in that i class is Louis Tjoudermilk. This staff of ten men has a total 1 height of 61 feet and 8 incfces. — One Great Hitter Retires. A one time great hitter slid grace i fully into oblivion when the Milwau | kee American Association uncondi ; tionallv released George Stone, the reigning sensation in the American I league during 1906. Daring that year ! Stone, who was with St. Louis, : smashed every American league pitch er without fear or favor, finishing the season with the percentage of .258 ; Stone had a peculiar crouch at the plate and. being a left-hand hitter, he chopped and swung many of his hits down the left field foul line and to left center. George, however, was no ; startling fielder, being particularly weak on ground balls and using poor judgment of fiv balls, especially those which went over his head. His won derful hitting, however, covered these smaller sins until the American hurl ers found his weak spot. FEW CURVE BALLS ARE USED Kan* Lcbert ef Philadelphia National Tram Te l* of Methods of Modem Pitcher*. -If you ask a big league ball player about the eot« ud benders thrown t< the nrioiu pitcher* he won't give forth a mine of information. In fact, he Is lifceiy to tell you that they don't reel!} m cgsixe such things as curves any more.' said Hans Lobert the other day “We only figure on what we call a straight hall and a ball with a hop on it. All the so-called curves are included in the category of 'balls with n hop on them' Most of the apparent ly wonderful curves are Just balls stunted at the plate from a different angle The lade-away is g slow ball that is dropping of Ks own weight. The in or one curve* are simply ‘fast ban* with w hop.' and outsiders call them in or on carve*, mainly as they see a left or right handed batter fac ing them. “Here and there as occasional pitch er trie* all sorts of grating shoots. _ usually to the detriment of the base on-balls record. The veterans and even the wise youngsters, however, just rely on the fast straight ball, thrown from different angles and hence seeming to curve, or on the fast ball with a hop—a ball that takes a little jimp as it nears the plate— that's the so-called breaking of the I < urve. or on slow ones chucked, like the fast straight balls front different angles. The big. wide curves that they used to throw don't happen any more. “Drop curves, so-called, used to be thrown with a jerk that wore a man's arm all to pieces. Beyond doubt Buf fington and Ramsey threw actual drop curves that had speed on them, but : the modern pitcher simply fires a slanting ball from overhead. Joe Mc , Ginnity was the last man to throw a • genuine curving raise ball. Take it i from me. there are very few curves i now used—a tiny jump of the rotating ; ball has supplanted them, with the ! trick of throwing from and to the dif j recent angles. Just a straight ball and a ball with a hop on it—that's ^the pitching of today.” St. Joseph sold Pitcher McDonald to the Hiawatha club of the Mint | league. He was the only southpaw on ; the Drummer team. Ralph Capron is doing Ty Cobb stunts with the Brewers and the old ; timers in the Association are com i plaining that such speed will break up | the league. Manager Clarke says he certainly intends to recall Ralph Capron fr>m Milwaukee in August. He was sent to the Brewers only that he mi»’ht have a chance to play regularly. When Newark of the International league desired to cast Bill Bergen adrift it was disclosed that Brooklyn still had an option on him. The Dodg er management refused to exercise it, however, and Billy was declared a free agent. Chattanooga has purchased Pitcher Boehler from Wcshington. He was with Springfield, O.. last season. Rip Yowinkle has been released. Block, the catcher St. Bau! secured from the St. Louis Cardinals, is lead ing the American Association matters according to recent averages. Manager Mike' Kelley of the St. Paul team, is arranging a Hank Gehr li.g day for the benefit of the widow of Hank and his orphaned daughter. It is the turn of the White Sex to know what injuries mean to a team, though Callahan can point with some satisfaction to his substitute brigade. Frank Killen. star left hander with the Pirates a good many years ago. has the fever, and thinks he would like a job in the United States League. Larry Doyle has stolen more bases than any other player In the National league. Sam Crawford holds this dis tinction in the American.. Ty Cobb has not broken into the stolen base col umn to any extent as yet. but may be depended upon to do considerable pur loining of the sacks before the season ends. > Physicians Recommend Castoria ASTORIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharma ^ ceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the result of three facts: fint—'The indisputable evidence that it is harmless; Second- That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimi lates the food: nw-It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor OiL It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman’s Drops, Godfrey’s Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, how ever, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to. the information.—Hall’s Journal of Health. Letters from Prominent Physicians addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher. Dr. B. Halstead Scott, of Chicago, Ills., says: “I have prescribed yens Castoria often for infants during my practice, and find it very satisfactory.”1 Dr. William Belmont, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "Your Castoria stands first In its class. In my thirty years of practice I o»n say I never have found anything that so filled the place.” Dr. J. H. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "1 have used yonr Castoria and found it an excellent remedy in my household and private practice for many years. The formula is excellent.” Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says: “I prescribe your Castoria extensively, as I have never found anything to equal it for children’s troubles. I am aware that there are imitations in the field, but I always see that my patients get Fletcher’s.” Dr.Wm. J KcCrann, of Omaha, Neb., says: "As the father of thirteen children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside from my own family experience I have in my years of practice found Caa toria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home.” Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "The name that yonr Cas toria has made for itself In the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorse ment of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and believe it an excellent remedy.” Dr. R. U. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Physicians generally do not prescribe proprietary preparations, but in the case of Castoria my experi ence, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an ex ception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice because I have found it to he a thoroughly reliable remedy for children's complaints. Any physi cian who has raised a family, as I have, will join me in heartiest recom mendation of Castoria.” GENUINE CASTORIA ALWAYS Bears the Signature of t I The Kind Yon Have Always Bought Exact copy of wr^per.

MEW YOB* CITY HEART NEEDS ESPECIAL CARE Strain on the Vital Organ Must Be Avoided When Middle Life Has Been Passed. “The death by heart failure of Gen Frederick D. Grant,” says the Medical Record, “emphasizes the repeated warnings of the medical profession that we should treat a senile heart with respect. As far as we know there is not the slightest disagreement on this one point—every human heart over fifty, and perhaps over forty-five, cannot stand much internal pressure without being ruined or at least dam aged. A very slight man may go through severe muscular exertion with but little damage, but a heavy man. like the general, places on the heart and arteries a hydrostatic pressure be yond the safety point, and it never re covers. “The pitiful feature of this deplor able death is the fact that Gen. Grant in his last annual report had called attention to the opinion of life insurance examiners that army offi cers were becoming poor risks on ac count of the increasing strain on their profession. It Is safe to predict more deaths like Gen. Grant's, unless we treat the heart of a man over forty five with more gentleness. To Preserve Historic Building. A movement has been started in Frankfort.
