FIE ON YOUR SLUGGING - PA
Inside Game is the Ball that is Win
ning Pennants.
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

regular nends at the Inside tame, so In their
calif a they combined all the best elements.
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

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.

Autrey made a splendid catch, and com

In the third inning lust today'a game for
Denver by a score of 4 to 3: Sioux City took
advantage of the ml ".plays and landed timely
hits, scoring four runs after the side should
have been out. C. Adams pitched a plucky
game and was entitled to a shutout. Cor
bett was hit hard in the second and third,
but after that he waa Invincible. Fisher
started the third with a triple, but Adams
struck out Corbett and Campbell rolled an
eatey ono to Lauterhorn. who fumbled. It
was so easy that Fisher did not attempt
to score from third, and . when Nance lilt
to Wheeler, the manager threw wide to the
plate, letting the score count. Weed singled
and Nobllt's double scored three more
enough to win. A doue by Doll and a
triple by Zalusky scored the first run for
Denver and Weed's error, a- sacrifice by
Wheeler and Cassady'a, hit gave the other.
Zaluskl split a thumb on a foul tip and

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.
Krlgh Collins will not play, as his eyes
are bothering him and the doctor ha. for
bidden him from playing on the clay
courts.

Star of Afternoon.
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. He is state champion of
Colorado and la a player of considerable
ability.
Followers of the game will miss one of
the prominent figures of the tournament

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. Book on Skin Diseases and any medical advice desired sent
