reached that stage where it was actual

to take a thorough course of Peruna.

"Having procured some Peruna, I de

were second to none in the world.
About the same time, and also at

BEST BATTER IN
NATIONAL LEAGUE
CLOSE RACE BETWEEN DONLIN
AND WAGNER FOR TITLE
OF CHAMPION.
"HANS" SLIGHTLY IN THE LEAD
Record of the Two Men Since Their
Entry Into Fast Company Won
derful Performance of Pittsburg
Man Since Joining ' Club New
York Captain in Game 12 Years.
The contest for the batting suprem
acy of the year in the National league
between John Henry. Wagner, or
"Hans," or "Hor.us" Wagner, as the
great shortstop of the Pittsburg club
is familiarly called, and Michael Don
lin. captain and right fielder of the
New York team, equals in intensity
the interest that is being taken in the
outcome of the battle that is being
waged for the championships of the
National and American leagues. Thus
far Wagner leads the left-handed cap
tain of the Giants by about 14 points,
the percentages a couple of days ago
being: Wagner, .335; Donlin, 321.
The latter, however, has been batting
quite consistently, and there are many
experts who believe he will land
ahead of the formidable Pittsburger
at the close of the season.
Wagner has made a . wonderful
record since he joined the Pittsburg
club in 1900. In that year he led the
National league, and was also the first
batsman in 1903, 1904, 1906 and 1907.
From the time he played his first pro
fessional engagement with the
Stuebenville (O.) club in 1895 he was
regarded as a formidable batsman.
The following year he joined the
Paterson (N. J.) club of the Atlantic
league and remained there until July
of. 1897, when the Louisville manage
ment outbid that of Pittsburg and se
cured the boy from Carnegie, Pa.
Wagner remained with the Louisville
club until the close of the season of
1S99. when, he became a member of
the Pittsburgs along with other Louis
ville stars when the National league
was reduced to eight clubs. In his
two years and a half with the Ken
tucky team Wagner never failed to get
behind the .300 mark in batting, nor
has he fallen below those figures in
his eight and a half years connection
with the Pittsburg team. On July 23
last Wagner made his hundredth hit
of the season, Donlin being the first to
score that record on July 13, and Cobb
of the Detroit team of the American
league the second on July 15
Mike Donlin's reputation as a bats
man since he joined the National
league as a member of the St. Louis
team in 1899 has been of a high ordSr.
While being somewhat fractious and
not amenable to discipline during his
career with the Cincinnati club, .and
at times while with the Giants, his
deportment and playing ability have
been vastly improved since Manager
McGraw placed him as field com
mander of the Polo Grounds team at
the beginning of the present season.
Donlin began hi professional career
as a pitcher of the team at Los An
geles, Cal., in 1S96. He had officiated
in 19 games and lost only two. As a
batsman he was pre-eminent, leadin
the California league that year with
an average of .421. Three years later
he started his career in major league
company with the St. Louis team, and
remained with that team for two sea
sons, the first year finishing with
batting average of .327 and the second
year he batted for .320. In 1901 John
McGraw signed Donlin to play with
his Baltimore team of the American
league, Mike's batting being one of
the features of the season, his average
reaching the splendid mark of .340.
The following year Joe Kelley took
Donlin to the Cincinnati team, but it
was not until 1903 that Mike resumed
his great skill as a batsman, the
records of the season giving him
mark of .351, the second best in the
National league. He was also second
In the league in 1904, and the follow
ing years he was transferred to the
ranks of the New York club.

Say Cubs Have Good Chance.
"I believe the Chicago Cubs have at
least as good a chance as any other
National league team for winning the
pennant this year,'' says Manager
Murray of the Phillies in Cincinnati.
"Chance's men have about the most
evenly balanced aggregation in the
league, and they're just beginning to
get together properly after months of
misfortune that would have put an
ordinary team out of the running long
ere this."

EYESIGHT WAS IN DANGER
From Terrible Eczema Baby's Head
a Mass of Itching Rash and Sores
Disease Cured by Cuticura.
"Our little girl was two months old
when she got a rash on her face and
within five days her face and head
were all one sore. We used different
remedies but it got worse instead of
better and we thought she would turn
blind and that her ears would fall off.
She suffered terribly, and would
scratch until the blood came. This
went on until she was five months old,
then I had her under our family doc
tor's care, but she continued to grow
worse. He said it was eczema. When
she was seven months old .1 started
to use the Cuticura Remedies and in
two months our baby was a different
girl. You could not see a sign of a
sore and she was as fair as a new
born baby. She has not had a sign of
the eczema since. Mrs. H. F. Budke,
LeSueur, Mian., Apr. 15 and May 2, '07."

A Timely Air.
During one of the political tours of
Mr. Cleveland, In which he was ac
companied by Secretary Olney, he ar
rived during a severe storm at a town
In which he was to speak. As he en
tered the carriage with his friends
and was driven from the station the
rain changed to hail, and immense
stones battered and rattled against
the vehicle. A brass band, rather de
moralized by the storm, stnek bravely
to its post and played.
"That is the most realistic music I
have ever heard," remarked the presi
dent. . "What are they playing?" asked tbs)
secretary of state.
' " -Hail to the Chief with real bail!"
rejoined Mr. Cleveland.
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 more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.
The Real Test.
"Poor fellow, he died in poverty."
said a i.ian of a person lately de
