Uncertainty of National Paatlme la
Cauaa of Much of Ita Popularity
Boston a Cinch for Laifleld, of Pitta
burg Cleveland Likes Delivery of
"Rube" Waddell.
Hardly a day passes but what one
hears a fan say that so and so is going
to pitch to-day and that he will win
or lose, as the case may be. To one
who Is not acquainted with the facts,
the average set of baseball followers
would think that these prognosticates
know all about it. But in many cases
they are wrong.
Why are some pitchers successful
against one team and a rank failure
against anotner? Take the case of
Lefty Lelfleld, of the Pirates, against
Boston, since the left-hander haa be
come a leaguer. He has pitched ten
games against Tenny'a men and won
nine of them. Five gamea he won by
shutting them out He haa never lost
a game In Boston. Mathewson, a
couple of years ago, won ten straight
games, all he twirled against the Pi
rates. This year Lelfleld has defeated
St. Louis six times, and St. Louis is
his home.
"Three-Fingered" Brown has pitched
against every team In the National
league this year, and Pittsburg was
the only team he has found any
trouble to defeat he has pitched in
three full games against the Pirates
and has won but one of them. He had
no trouble to win four from New York
and the same number from Cincin
nati. Vic Willis has won both games
he has pitched against New York, but
has lost three to Chicago. He has
also beat Brooklyn three times, but
could not win from Philadelphia.
Phllllppe, who had not won a game
from Chicago for years, has won two
out of three from them this season.
Ames has won but one game from the
Pirates, his first game in the league,
when he defeated Scanlon, both start
ing the same day in the National
league. He was defeated last season
for the first time after his winning
streak, and received his only coat of
whitewash of the season from Pitts
burg. In the American league one can find
Just as complicated cases as In the
older league. Why Is it that Donovan
has not pitched against Chicago,
Walsh against Detroit, Killian against
Philadelphia, Dygert - against - Clever
land, Patten against Cleveland, etc.?
Donovan has won four times from
Philadelphia and three from New
York, while all he could do was to
split even with Cleveland. Jobs can
win from every team except Phila
delphia, while Clarkson has defeated
the team under Mack's management
twice. Walsh has won five games
from St Louis; still he could do no
better than break even with Boston,
a team below the Browns in the stand
ing. Plank, who has won two games
he has pitched against Detroit, has
lost the only pair he has been on the
rubber in against St Louis. Waddell,
who haa won both games from Chi
cago, he has pitched,' has won one
from Cleveland in three and one from
Detroit in four trials. Doc White, who
took Detroit into camp four times, has
been able to win but one from New
York out of four.
Why is It that Young could win all
his four games against New York but
could only win one out of three from
Philadelphia? Mullin has no trouble
to win from Cleveland, but finds all
other teams, even St Louis and Wash
ington, hard to beat Lelbhardt has
been able to break even in four games
with Chicago, but cannot win from
Philadelphia, who Is fourth In the
race. Case Patten won two and lost
two ' with Chicago, but lost all three
he has pitched against Detroit. This
rule can be found all through the
table and it is one of thp reasons that
baseball Is so popular it Is so uncer
tain. AMERICAN LEAGUE NOTES
,J The Detroit club is reported as
negotiating for Pitcher Victor
Schlltzer, of Utica.
It is almost certain that Outfielder
Bay, of Cleveland, will not play again
' this season.
Jack Knight is playing a fine third
base for Boston, after all, despite pre
dictions to the contrary.
It is reported that the St. Louis
club will turn Pitcher Ezra Morgan
over to the Columbus club.
Joe Kelley is still trying to land
Grlmshaw, as Toronto is anxious for
a hard-hitting first baseman.
The Detroit club has purchased a
right-handed Southern league pitcher
- but refuses to reveal his jjame.
The St. Louis club has loaned
Pitcher Stevenson and Catcher Bren
nan to the Springfield club, of the
Western association.
The Washington club has purchased
through Denny Long, Pitcher Ell
Catea, of the Oakland club, of the
Pacific coast league.
Joe Cantlllon says he fails to see
how any one in the country could have
done any better than Lajoie with the
Cleveland club.
' Manager Clark Griffith seldom gets
the worst of a trade but it looks as
though he grabbed the hot end when
he traded Walter Clarkson.
TEN YEARS OF PAIN.
Unable to Do Even Housework Be
cause of Kidney Troubles.
Mrs. Margaret Emmerich, of Clin
ton St., Napoleon, O., says: "For
fifteen years I was a great sufferer
from kidney , trou
bles. My back pained
me terribly. Every
turn or, move caused
itiBTii ihAnttnff
pains. My eyesight
was poor, dark spots
appeased before me,
and I had dizzy
spells. For ten years
I could not do housework, and for two
years did not get out of the house.
The kidney secretions were irregular,
and doctors were not helping ire.
Doan's Kidney Pills brought me quick
relief, and finally cured me. They
saved my life."

Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.
Used Ink for Bluing.
"One can never'be too careful about
apparently harmless articles setting
about the house," said a housewife the
other day. "Not long ago my husband
brought home one of those big tall bot
tles of ink from the office. It had got
to be such a nuisance buying one of
the small five-cent bottles every time
we ran out of ink, that he said he
would bring home a supply.
"About a week after that I got a
new maid, and when she did the. wash
ing she took the big bottle of ink for
bluing. Of course every stitch of our
white clothes in the washing was
ruined."
Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness. It is usually neces
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou
ble can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much mere thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.
Never Touched Him.
"I have brought back the lawn
mower I bought of you last week,"
said the man with the side whiskers.
"You said you would return my money
if it wasn't satisfactory."
"Yes, that's what I said," replied the
dealer, "but I assure you the money
was perfectly satisfactory in every
respect."
Pronounce These Rapidly.

FROM THE PENCIL'S POINT.
The larger the bluff the smaller it

Some people's troubles are enough
to make others laugh.
It is wonderful what a lot pf kiss

Some people derive a lot of satisfac

himself a man seldom overdoes it.

CAME PRETTY FAST FOR PAT.
At That- He Had Had Only What the
Doctor Ordered.
A Philadelphia physician says that
sot long ago he was called to see an
Irishman, and among other directions
told him to take am ounce of whisky
three times a day. A day or so later
he made another visit and found the
man, while not so sick, undeniably
drunk.
"How did this happen?" the physi
cian demanded of Pat's wife, who was
hovering about solicitously.
"Sure, dochter, an' 'tis just what
you ordered, an' no more, that he
had," she protested.
"I said one ounce of whisky three
times a day; that could not make him
drunk," the physician said. "He has
had much more than that."
"Divil a drop more, dochter, dear,"
she declared. "Sure an' oi didn't
know Just how much an ounce. was so
oi wint to the drug store an' asked,
an' the lad he's a broth of a boy,
too told me that an ounce was 16
drams and Pat has had thim regular,
an' no more!" Harper's Weekly.
BABY TORTURED BY ITCHING.
Rash Covered Face and Feet Would
Cry Until Tired Out Speedy
Cure by Cuticura.
"My baby was about nine months
old when she had rash on her face and
feet. Her feet seemed to irritate her
most, especially nights. They would
cause her to be broken in her rest, and
sometimes she would cry until she was
tired out. I had heard of so many
cures by the Cuticura Remedies that
I thought I would give them a trial.
The improvement was noticeable in a
few hours, and before I had used one
box of the Cuticura Ointment her feet
were well and have never troubled her
since. I also used it to remove what
is known as 'cradle cap' from her
head, and it worked like a charm, as it
cleansed and healed the scalp at the
same time. Mrs. Hattie Currier,
Thomaston, Me., June 9, 1906."
Rule of Cornish Chapels.
In Cornish Eng.) chapels the in
variable rule is for the men to sit
on one side of the building and the
women on the other.
A visitor and his fiancee, who are
staying in the district, went to chapel,
and just before the service began the
young man was greatly astonished
when the chapel steward, observing
that the ' couple were seated in the
same pew, came over to him and, in
an audible voice, said: "Come on out
of that, me son; we don't 'ave no
sweetheartin' 'ere."
With a smooth iron and Defiance
Starch, you can launder your Biiht
waist just as well at home as the
steam laundry can; it will have the
proper stiffness and flt-lsh, there will
be less wear and tear of the goods,
and it will be a positive pleasure to
use a Starch that does not stick to the
iron.
Left Army for Pork Trade.
Aladar Stolincki, an aristocratic
lieutenant of a Hungarian hussar reg
iment, has resigned his commission to
become an apprentice to a pork butch
er in Budapest. He says he can not
live on his pay $400 a year and that
he considers a man of intelligence and
energy can do well in the pork trade.
Not His Element.
"And if I give you money," said the
philanthropist, "will you promise to
go and take a bath?"
Redface Leary drew himself up to
his full height.
"A bath? And is it a mermaid you
take me for?" he cried bitterly.
Defiance Starch Is the latest inven
tion in that line and an improvement
on all other makes; it is more eco
nomical, does better work, takes less
time. Get it from any grocer.
Man does what he can, and bears
what he must, and the name by which
he calls the result is left to each to
decide; a clever man calls it happi
ness. Goethe.
Only love can keep out bitterness;

He Was Not to Blame.
Little Bartholomew's mother over
heard him swearing . like a mule
driver,. says the Cleveland Leader. He
displayed a fluency that overwhelmed
her. She took him to task, explaining
the wickedness of profanity as well
as its vulgarity. She asked him where
he had learned ail those dreadful
words. Bartholomew announced that
Cavert, one of his playmates, had
taught him. Cavert's mother was
straightway informed and Cavert was
brought to book. He vigorously de
nied having instructed Bartholomew,
and neither threats nor tears could
make his confess. At last he burst
out: "I didn't tell Bartholomew any
cuss words. Why should I know how
to cuss any better than he ' does?
Hasn't his father got an automobile,
too?" 1
The extraordinary popularity of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch a matter of great im
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as a stiff ener
makes half the usual quantity of Starch
necessary, with the result of perfect
finish, equal to that when the goods
were new.

Architects and Closets.
An architect, eays a writer, com
plains that women have a mania for
closets and that when a woman is al
lowed any liberty in the matter she
changes his whole architectural plan
in order to make room for them. This,
he says, makes him a laughing stock
among his fellow architects. This is
very interesting, but why do architects
make plans if not to make every effort
themselves to secure conveniences? A
house may be architecturally perfect
and yet not fit to live in, and it certain
ly is not if there is not closet room
enough.
