IROVES IT BY THE RECORD Tartarean eaterday It Wrr True that Battloai A Ion III Not Bring; lh Bunting to Town. 'Don't talk to me about your .Ji.O-hlt-tlng team," quoth Fa Rourke as he drew In on one of his Justly celebrated stogies ' down at lha Binoka House. "Oh, of course, I am not out saying teams oughtn't hat, on an average of .900 If they can without losing sight of other departments of the game. But what I am contending Is that too many teams are trying In vain to win . pennants on .300 averages alone. '"Man cannot live by bread alone.'"' When your Pa let out that one he turned ' and gased In a diagonal direction at the calling. "Oh, no, I'm not a post-graduate In the Bible, but I guess I know my nlmre of the acrlptures," said the president of the com ing Western league champions, peeking In that shy way all modest ' folk have to eschew the flattering unction which other less refined persons were about to lay to his wisdom. This sort of coarseness Is a bore ' to Pa, ao he turned his head and looked Innocent-like to make believe he didn't hear It. Where la the Which. "Well," he resumed, "speaking of .S0O httters and their Influence on pennant wln , tilng, can you point to any of these slugger teams that are walking away with cham pionships; Don't understand me to be arguing that a team must not bat In order to win games and pennants' Here la what I "am saying: Hint team that plays tho In side gnme and hats along, say about .250, Is the team that will win and la far and away ahead of the team that goea In simply t to knock the cover off the-ball. And what 1 aay about teams applies with equal flt- . ncss to Individuals. , ' "Msl you ever stop to think what dlffer eeee there la between a .309 and a hit- ,' ter? Well, If you never did and I don't ' believe many men have It will be Interest- lug for you to realise that after all a .800 hitter only makes five more hits In twenty-live games than a .260 hitter. How do I reckon this? Well, I take for an average four times at bat for each man In each ' game that's about the way it will run and I find the .300 hitter makes thirty hits ' in twenty-five games, or a fraction over one hit a game, while the .250 hitter makes twenty-five hits in as many games, or ex- .' ectly one hit a game. "Again I say give me the man who plays ' the Inside game both at the bat and In the j field, as well as running hexes, and who hits at a ."j0 clip, or even a little under, and you may have your .800 sluggers who depend chiefly on their, ability to hit the ' ball. I a si fie Game la Winning. "These short batters and Inside men and teams are the ones that are getting away with the games In this and every other league In the country. It Is true today and has been true since the advent of sclent 1 tic base ball, Go on back through the his tory of the game, pick your pennant teania and see If, In the main, I am not right. Tes, I know you will find the old New York Cllants, under Johnny Ward, and the old Detrolts winning league pennants and world's champlonshlpa with slugging teams the like of which-we don't haver today, but neither case furnishes a refutation of my argument. Each team waa made up of men who could not only bat, but who were It delights the taste and affo is exquisite pleasure, it cx tta but half the price of foreign Champagnes, as there it no duty or ship freight to pay on Cook's Imperial Extra Dry. .

Of New York, there were Ward, regarded then as the brainiest of ball players, at short; Handsome Jim O'Rourke. Buck Sw ing, Tim O'Keefe and others whose heads were working all the time, "And Detroit; why, Detroit had that fa mous 'stone wall," Dan Brouthers, Hardy RIchardHoh. 'Deacon' White and Rowe, an Infield that never was excelled and yet that batted the ball as well as It fielded it. And, like New York, It was strong in the outfield and In the batteries. But these two teams were combinations such aa sel dom were known In any age of base ball. It Is rare, Indeed, that you find such great fielders and batters collected on the same team. The llltleaa Wonders. "But, while we may pause long enough to mention the old Bt. Louie Browns, the 'Four-Time Winners' under Comiskey, and the White Sox under Anson, as shining examples of my original proposition, It is not necessary for us to go Into history. The most startling case on .record Is that of the present-day White Sox, such weak batters as to be entitled the 'Hitless Wonders.' Yet they won the champion ship of the world, and that from what 1 consider, as do many thousands of others, a better team than themselves. The White Box and even the Cubs, while they may be a few points ahead In batting of the Romans, are winning their games today on the. theory I am advancing. Philadelphia IS playing It strong, and Cleveland Is now, and would be further up, perhaps, barring Its 111 luck, had It clone so song ago. In Detroit again we have something of an exception, but not so much as of old, for the present Tigers are not auch awful sluggera. "In the prescpt Omaha team we have a good example. This team Is playing the Inside gnme as we have never seen It before. All the men are fast, scientific and working their heads every minute, and If we win the pennant, as I believe we shall. It -will be due to, that system; certainly not . to our slugging. "In the present St Douls Browns you have an illustration of the futility of trying to win games by batting alone. There Is a magnificent aggregation of ball players, particularly as to their batting abilities, but they are among the tall enders of the American league."

Twelve innings, a fist fight, provoked by a cowardly blackguard, ten wooden signs at bat for the home team, a fluke pitcher for the same were Imposed on 1,100 patrona at Vinton street park Monday afternoon for the one price of admission and the fans went away as though they had had their money's worth, although Lincoln won by the score of 3 to 0 by a hatting rally In the twelfth inning, making four hits off Thompson. The lirst fist fight seen on the grounds for some time was pulled off In the eighth Inning when Rxgan claimed he could no longer stand for the vile names which Sullivan, the catcher of the Holmes tribe, was hurling at him In a cowardly fashion. Ragan was at bat, the last man up in tho eighth inning, and Sullivan was trying to rattle hint by calling him names, not loud enough for the crowd to hear, but loud enough for Ragan and the umpire to under stand. Wny the fishbone umpire did not stop such language Is unexplainable. At any rate, when Ragan had stood It aa long as he could, he dropped hla .bat and swung with hla fist at Sullivan, landing squarely. They then mixed with no damage to either until the umpire and several police officers pulled them apart. Both were ordered from the game by Conahan, the person acting as umpire.

MID-WEST TENNIS STARTS Seventh Annual Tournament Brings Sixty-Two Leading Cracks. F. J. HILL HEBE AS REFEREE Field link la Alive with the Very Beet Racanet Men to Be Koaad la the Whole Weatera t'oantry. Sixty-two of the leading experts of the middle west etates and from other parts of the country as well gathered at the Omaha Meld ulub Monday to start the seventh annual Middle West tennis tour nament. The attendance Is just one man short of last year, but this Is due to a lack of local entries, many entering last year to boost the game. The atteiiiisr.ee tnts year la most gratifying to thu Unnis commit lee of the Field club which has supervision over the tournament. - A light drizzling rain interfered with the matches In the forenoon so very few of the contests In the qualifying- round were j played on. Other matches were delayed until the arrival of some of the cracks on the afternoon trains. From present In dlcationa none of the expected cracks will disappoint the committee and there la now every promise of some fast and interesting tennis Mefore the week la over. The visitors will be regularly Introduced at the Field club and will be accorded every courtesy of the club. The general public, la Invited by the tennis committee and the Omaha Field club to attend the matches and view the tournament from the lawna and porches of the club. No ad mission Is charged to the contests and the public will be welcome, as long as there la room to surround the courts of play. Kent ore of Morning. Hiles of Sioux City and L. McConuell of Omaha furnished the most interesting match of the morning play, McCunnU played a good match and put up a good fight but' waa erratic at times and the steady play and mora experience of the Sioux City crack told In the long run. Cedrlck Potter beat John Culdwoll of Andover, Mais., 6-2 and 6-3, in some in teresting tenuis. Caldwell waa handicapped With the breaking of his racquet, so he had to borrow on which was not to his liking. F. J. Hill arrived from Minneapolis and Immediately took his position as official referee, which he has so acceptably filled In past tourneys. He has a knack of getting the matches run off on schedule time, whloh Is a big thing In a large tournament. Walter T. Hayes, the present champion, returned to his home at Toledo, la., after the Sioux City tournament last week, -but Is expected to arrive Tuesday night, when he will bring the large championship cup, which he has now won twice, and which will become his personal property if he uc ceedB.ln winning it a third time. Peters, Blatherwlck and Hlllls and other cracka trl?d out the courts and pronounced them up to the usual high standard of ex cellence at which they have been main tained for the last two or three ytars.

The feature of the afternoon's playing was the match game between Con Young of Omaha and C. .a Peters of Chicago Young was before this summer'a city tour nament considered the best man In the city and Peters Is the outsider picked to win the cup. The match went 6-4. 6-1, and even at that 2ters was not forced to work for many points. Young played a game much below hla usual standard In steadiness, ss he frequently smashed Into the net or over the side lines. Nervousness seemed to Impair his playing. It is something, however, to keep Peters from taking two love sets and Mr. Young accomplished that. At times he won ap plauae with brilliant returns, but Peters did not need rallies, and played better consiatently than his opponent. Peters waa first victor In the second round, beating H. Readinger, the Diets athletic crack, In two love sets Dr. Whitney of Denver Is expected In Tuesday and he will probably go high unless he meets a hard match In, hla first two or three.

Veteran s s s There is an evaporation from the body going on continually, day and night, through the pores and glands of the skin. This is nature's way of maintaining the proper temperature of our bodies and of preserving the softness and flexibility of the skin, and so long as the blood is free from im purities no trouble will result. When however, the blood, from any cause, becomes infected with humors and impurities these, too, must be expelled, and coming in contact with the delicate tissues and fibres with which the skin is so abundantly supplied they produce irritation and inflammation, and the effect is shown by Eczema, Acne, Tetter, pimples, rashes and skin troubles of various kinds. To effect a cure the blood must be cleansed and purified. This cannot be done with external applications, but requires con stitutional treatment. S. S. S. is the best treatment for all skin diseases. It goes down into the circulation, neutralizes and removes the humors and acids and thoroughly cures skin affections of every kind. S. S. S. supplies the blood with the proper nutritive qualities so that the skin instead of being irritated and diseased by unhealthy humors, is fed and sustained by cooling, healthy blood.
