AMERICANS EASY TO IDENTIFY
Marks Caused by Collisions With the
Deadly Rocker Put Nationality
Beyond Dispute.
“Scars on the ankles identfy as
American those found dead abroad.”
said a coroner’s physician. “Yes, our
ankle scars identify us over there as
infallibly as our gold teedh.
“You see, we are the only people
whose ankles get scarred by banging
into the sharp points of rockers in
the dark.
“Four-legged chairs don't hurt in the
dark in this way. Bang into them a
dozen times a night, and they merely
impart a slightly bruise to the knee.
“But a bedroom rocker, when you
go prowling in your bare feet about a
coal black bedroom, is more danger
ous than a man-trap. How many times,
in the dead blackness of the night,
have you been impaled by the ankles
—or nearly impaled by the ankles—
on the sharp, upstanding points of a
bedroom rocker? Just look at your
anklejs. when you undress this evening.
You may not be aware of it, but I'll
guarantee you'll find on each ankle
five or six scars, the marks of ter
rible, midnight collisions with the
deadly rocker.
“And that's how it is that they iden
tify Americans abroad by the rocking
chair scars which criss-cross the bony,
stiff ankles of the male and the round
and supple ankles of the female Amer
ican.”
HANDS CRACKED AND BLED
St. Clair, Mo—"My trouble began
about fifteen years ago. It was what
some claimed eczema. The form the
disease worked under was a breaking
out with watery blisters on my hands
which would then dry and scale, and
then would follow the trouble of
cracking and bleeding, also itching
and hurting. My hands were disfig
ured at the time, and sore. The trou
ble was very annoying, and disturbed
my sleep. This last February it was
ever so much worse than before. I
did not do all my work on account of
the condition of my hands. I could
not put them in water without mak
ing them worse. I tried a lot of home
remedies, also salves and liniments
that claimed to be a cure for the
trouble, but I did not obtain a cure.
“At last I saw the advertisement for
Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I sent
for a sample. I thought they would
cure, so I sent for a fifty-cent box of
Cuticura Ointment and some Cuti
cura Soap. A doctor advised me to
keep ahead with the Cuticura Soap
and Ointment and they cured me com
pletely. No trace of the trouble re
mains.” (Signed) Mrs. Mary Taylor,
Mar. 29, 1912.

When the Sun Will Die.
It may be said unqualifiedly that
the sun, like every other thing con
nected with the present order, will
finally cease to be what it is today.
The time will most surely come when
the sun will have ceased to throw oft
light and heat. Long before that hap
pens, however, the earth and other
planets will have become “dead
worlds.” like the moon—no life of any
sort upon them. It has been calcu
lated that the sun will cease to throw
out its heat somewhere about seven
million of years from now.

BALK RULE A MYSTERY
Pitchers Must Be on Jobs to
Work Any Bluff.
Rule Has Long Bothered Umpires.
Players and Spectators and Contin
ues to Do So—Figures Greatly
in Base Stealing.
Despite the frequency of its appear
ance in the box score, the balk is one
of the unsolved mysteries to the aver
age fan. It is just about as mystify
ing as the mumbled confab between
referee and boxers just before the
opening gong in all well regulated
bouts.
Spectators are not the only ones in
dreadful darkness as to what consti
tutes a balk, and why. Umpires, play
ers and rulemakers themselves are
more or less at sea regarding its exact
limitations and demarcations, what
ever they are. If a pitcher has no
‘motion” or wind-up, he can hardly
hope to succeed in "big league time.”
The movements of his delivery are
supposed to keep the base runner
guessing, and at the same time must
still be within the limits imposed on
balking.
Unless a pitcher can violate the
spirit of the balk rules without trans
gressing the common interpretation of
their wording he has a lot to learn.
Let any team figure out a pitcher's
"motion” so that its players can guess
with any degree of certainty when he
is going to pitch and when he intends
to throw to a base, and the men on
that team will steal bases with com
parative impunity.
Sidestepping all the delicate points
and shades of points on which good
authorities differ, there is a great deal
of prevalent mystery regarding the
balk which can be dispelled. To be
gin with, there are nine kinds of
balks. Probably you thought a balk
was simply a bluff to pitch or to
throw to a base without going through
with it.
Sometimes a bluff to throw to a
base is a balk and sometimes it is
not; sometimes a bluff to pitch is a
balk and sometimes it is not. Some
times to throw tofa base is a balk
and sometimes a ball pitched square
ly over the plate without any pause
in tne motion is both a balk and a
ball for the batsman. A balk is not a
balk unless there is a base runner,
but some balks are called balks if
the bases are empty. Here are the
nine ways of making a balk:
1. The pitcher starts to deliver the
ball to the batsman or to throw to
first base when there is a runner on
first base, and does not complete the
pitch or throw unhesitatingly.
2. If the pitcher throws the ball to
any base occupied by a runner and
does not step directly toward that
base making the throw.
3. If the pitcher delivers the ball
o the batsman while either foot is
back of his slab.
4. If he pitches the ball without
facing the batsman.
5. If he pitches the ball without
keeping one foot on the slab.
6. If the pitcher holds the ball so
long that, in the umpire’s opinion, he
is doing it to delay the game.
7. If the pitcher gets into posi
(ion to pitch without having the ball
in his possession.
8. If the pitcher makes any of the
motions habitually used in pitching
to the batsman and does not go
ihrough with the delivery to the plate.
9. If the catcher steps outside the
lines of his position preparatory to re
ceiving a pitched ball
Bill Dineen won the world’s base
ball series for Boston in 1903. In
1912 he "came back” and took the
championship of the sun, moon and
stars for speeding up games.
GOTCH’S FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH JENKINS
Jenkins, Former Champion of America, Applying Strangle Hold.
TOM JE.NKIXS, now an instructor
at the West Point Military acad
emy and former American cham
pion, was, according to Gotch,
the strongest American wrestler he
ever met. He defeated Gotch in what
the latter terms the second hardest
match of his career, February 22, 1903,
at Cleveland, O.
In justice to Gotch it must be said
that he went into this match with the
idea of trying out Jenkins. He had
heard of Jenkins' wonderful strength
and rough tactics and was eager to
match his skill with that of the Cleve
lander, but was afraid to take chances.
That probably lost him the match
Gotch, too, had not yet reached the
heights of practical perfection at the
| catch-as-cateh-can style.
As it was, Gotch might have been
givei* this match on a foul, as Jenkins
was twice cautioned for employing the
strangle hold in the first bout and
once in the second Jenkins won on a
jaw lock, the nest door neighbor to the
strangle grip.
This match, like the later meeting
of this pair at Bellingham, Wash., was
among the roughest mat battles in
American history. Jenkins, strong and
sinewy as he was. got one of the se
verest gruelings of his stormy career
as a topnotch grappler. Gotch was a
sorry sight as he returned to his
home folks at Humboldt, bruised and
bandaged, his nose twisted and his
body decorated with plasters and
other reminders of the battle, but
eager for a return encounter. Referee
Edwards at one point threatened to
stop the match. He told the wrestlers
he was there supposed to referee a
mat battle, not a prize fight or a cock
fight.
Farmer Burns had instructed Gotch
how to meet Jenkins' attack and the
Humboldt boy refused to change his
tactics. He simply tried to hold Jen
kins off. He played the same game
against Jenkins to which he resorted
in his match with Hackenschmidt, but
in this instance it failed because Gotch
didn't know much about wrestling
The wrestlers were on their feet
roughing it for nearly an hour and a
half. Edwards warned them to mix it,
but Gotch refused. Jenkins rushed
Gotch to the ropes. Gotch slid to the
floor and Jenkins worked over him
like a beaver. Edwards warned Jen
kins against the strangle hold. Got’h
was up in a flash and tripped Jenkins
to the floor Gotch was cautious and
held his opponent to the mat for some
time. Jenkins with a supreme effort
broke away. Then they roughed it un
til cautioned again by the referee.
Jenkins made a lunge and landed be- ,
hind Gotch. He secured a hammerlock,
which the Humboldt lad broke after a
struggle. Jenkins shifted to a bar
nelson and crotch and Gotch's shoul
ders finally were pinned to the mat for
the first fall in 1:55:00.
Gotch had suffered terribly from the
strangle holds and Jenkins' old trick
of stabbing across the face for a fur
ther arm hold and hitting the nose
When he came up for the second fall
he was wobbly, while Jenkins, in his
prime, well trained and experienced,
was confident. After twelve minutes
of rough wrestling, Jenkins caught
Gotch with a punishing jaw lock,
which many thought was a strangle
hold, and drew Gotch to the mat for
the second and deciding fall.
Jenkins' victory was decisive, but
the tables were turned less than a year
later when Gotch wrested the cham
pionship from Jenkins in a desperate
battle at Rellingham, Washington.

WARM UP PITCHER SECRETLY
Manager Evers to Have Rescue
Twirlers Prepare Out of Sight of
Crowd—Changes Old Method.
Pitchers warming up in the view
of the spectators is to be abolished
at the Cub baseball park this sum
mer. Heretofore the men were sent
lo the clubhouse to get their arms in
?hape and it was the result of much
ridicule hping heaped upon the twtrl
?r in the box This is to be eliminat
ed by having the rescue dingers lim
ber up back of the grandstand in the
right field where they cannot be seen.
When a pitcher is going badly on
(he rubber and a man is sent out to
warm up it will be done without the
knowledge of the fans or the man in
the box. Generally when a pitcher is
unsteady and another man is prepar
ing to take his place many discourag
ing remarks are made which only
have a tendency to cause more un
steadiness. By having the men pre
pare back of the stand, Manager
Evers can give a signal for a man to
warm up without the knowledge of
the pitcher, spectators or umpire.
Then if Evers desires to stall to give
the other man a chance to get his arm
in shape he can do so without the
umpire, pitcher or fans knowing his
object.
The suggestion was made to Man
ager Evers in New York at the Na
tional league meeting "1 have
thought about, it since the meeting
and decided it would be a clever
scheme," said Evers "Often a pitch
er starts to blow up and the first
thing the manager does is send a
man out to loosen his muscles. I
think it is a mistake to let the man
in the box see this, for it discourages
him and takes away his nerve. If you
jolly him and keep your rescue men
out of sight there is a chance of his
coming back to earth again and a
change won't be necessary Besides
it will keep the pitcher in better
mood, for he does not like to have
the fans get after him when they see
another man going out to warm up."

paying teller.
“It is very, very terrible," murmured
the receiving teller.
“I shall think about it all night,”
remarked the bookkeeper.
“It's awful—awful!” said the clerks.
There was a moment's silence, then^
the errand boy spoke.
“I wonder who'll get the job?” he

They are a happy couple. They
haven’t been married very long. In
fact, the honeymoon has barely waned,
says the Pittsburgh Post. An elderly
friend met the bridegroom downtown
yesterday and slapped him on the
back.
“Well happy as a lark. 1 suppose?”
“Oh. yes."
“How’s the cooking?”
“1 have one trouble. It’s just this—
my wife has been preparing angel
food every day for dinner."
"You must be getting tired of it."
“I ain. Yet I feel a hesitancy about
saying anything. How soon after the
honeymoon would it be proper to ask
for beefstead and onions?"
Figuratively speaking, a man and
his wife are one, but the figures on
the grocery bill are apt to disprove it.
GOOD NATURED AGAIN
Good Humor Returns With Change to
Proper Food.
“For many years I was a constant :
sufferer from indigestion and nervous
ness, amounting almost to prostra- J
tion," writes a Montana man.
“My blood was impoverished, the j
vision was blurred and weak, with
moving spots before my eyes. This was
a steady daily condition. I grew ill- j
tempered, and eventually got so nerv
ous I could not keep my books post
ed, nor handle accounts satisfactorily.
I can’t describe my sufferings.
“Nothing 1 ate agreed with me, till
one day I happened to notice Grape
Nuts in a grocery store, and bought
a package out of curiosity to know
what it was.
“I liked the food from the very ,
first, eating it with cream, and now I
buy it by the case and use it daily.
I soon found that Grape-Nuts food was
supplying brain and nerve force as
nothing in the drug line ever had
done or could do.
“It wasn’t long before I was re
stored to health, comfort and happi
ness.
“Through the use of Grape-Nuts food
mv digestion has been restored, my
nerves are steady once more, my eye
sight is good again, my mental faculties
are clear and acute, and I have become
so good-natured that, my friends are !
truly astonished at the change. I feel
younger and better than I have for 20
years. No amount of money would ,
induce me to surrender what I have
gained through the use of Grape-Nuts
food.” Name given by Postum Co.,

son." Read the little book, “The Road
to Wellville,’’ in pkgs.”
