"GOAT GETTERS" IN NATIONAL LEAGUE EXCITING FUG RACE
None More Promising Than Pres-
ent in American League.
QUESTION OF FINANCE
MORE WAYS THAN ONE OF GET-
TING A CHECK CASHED.
CSWZU& zxxiar*
One of the Dig factors of a baseball
team is to have some member who can
get on the nerves of an opposing pitch-
er or player and cause that particular
star to forget he ia in a baseball game.
Charley Dooin is one of the most suc-
cessful "goat getters" in the National
league. Not only does he keep after
opposing hurlers, but when he is catch-
ing he has had the swatter so en-
grossed on framing a reply to some
caustic remark that the third perfect
strike slid by without being molested.
One of the reasons for the downfall
of Chief Meyers was because he was
so susceptible to being "kidded " Doo-
in used to have the Indian riled all
the time. When Joe Tinker was in
the National league with the Reds, he
had Meyers continually fighting and
"So they call you 'chief,' do they?
Well, I think it should be changed to
'Cheese' Meyers," barked Tinker from
the bench one afternoon.
Meyers dropped his bat and started
for Tinker. McGraw started for Mey-
ers.
"Doggone that Tinker. Remarks like
that would make any man flght that
had red blood in his vein3," shrieked
Meyers.
"Red blood! Get out! You're yel-
low. not red." taunted back Tinker.
With a whizz the bat flew from Mey-
ers' hard and he followed it toward
Tinker. Joe only started to laugh, as
players and umpires rushed between
him and the angry redskin. Meyers
had made two singles that day that
scored runs, but he was banished from
Six Almost Certain Contenders for
Championship In Opinion of Pres-
ident Ban Johnson—Cleveland
Is Doubtful.
(By BAN B. JOHNSON. President of the
American league.)
With the baseball season of 1916 In
full bloom, enthusiasm in Uncle Sam's
great national game is everywhere ap-
parent. This enthusiasm furnishes a
striking contrast to the period imme-
diately preceding the campaigns of
1914 and 1915.
It is needless for me to refer to the
distressing conditions under which the
Bame labored in the last two years,
for these are still fresh in the minds
of every fan. Suffice it to say. that
the situation having been clarified
during the winter months, baseball is
apain duo for a period of prosperity
which 1 hope will equal, if not sur-
pass. those wonderfully prosperous
ceasons of 1912 ai d 1913
Believing in the doctrine of pre-
paredness. the Ameilcan league club
owners have their teams on edge and
eager for the fray, as tlio result of
long training seasons under southern
skies. We have had many eiciting
races for our pennants, but I cannot
recall one which was more promising
than that which is now upon us
Boston, Chicago. Detroit. New York.
Washington and St. Louis are. from
my point of view, almost certain con-
tenders for the right to get into the
world series next October. Cleveland,
an unknown quantity at present, may
develop enough speed and stamina to
make matters decidedly lively and in-
teresting for the others.
The Cleveland club is In the hands

VIOLIN REMEDIES SORE ARM
Dickinson College Player Regains Use
of Wing by Constant Practice on
Musical Instrument.
Attributing his "come-back" as a
pitcher to playing a violin, Fred Good-
hart of Dickinson college baseball nine,
is for the first time since the summer
of 1910 in good physical shape. His
arm is without any trace of the sore-
ness which handicapped him for six
seasons.
Goodhart, until 1910, bad been mak-
ing a record when his right arm de-
veloped a lameness which massaging
and the usual remedies could not re-
lieve. He quit baseball and entered
Dickinson college. In 1915 Goodhart
was able to twirl one game—that
against Bucknell—which he won. His
nrm was so lame afterward that he
was dropped from the squad.
During the past winter Goodhart, in
his spare time, has been playing a
violin with a local orchestra, which
required much practicing. He fully
believes that In the extended arm mo-
tion required In playing lies the secret
of his recovery.

brains and push and money. The
question of expense will not enter
into their calculations If they can
strengthen their team and make it a
factor in the championship race.
Another one of our clubs also
changed hands during the winter—St
Louis. The manager of this club is
none other than Fielder Jones, who
led the White Sox to tan World's cham-
pionship In 1906. Jones, when in the
American league, always showed re>
markable ability in handling a team,
and he knew how to get the best re-
sults out of his men. That's why I
think the St. Louis team, with Jones
as its pilot, Bhould be rated as a pos-
sible pennant contender.
As for Connie Mack, he Is still en-
gaged in the arduous task of rebuild-
ing his Athletics, but Connie, wizard
that he is, can hardly hope to figure
seriously in the race of 1916. But, at
that, he may surprise us.
In conclusion. I wish to say that
with normal conditions in the base-
ball world restored, major and minor
league club owners, the country over,
face the future with a feeliug of con-
fidence—a feeling that the grand old
game has come back, and that the
fans are now ready and anxious to
support It as enthusiastically as they
did in tbe days of its greatest pros-
perity.
DEL DRAKE IS UNFORTUNATE
He was in high spirits as he strolled
whistling down Central Park West
It was spring; his health was good,
the sun was shining brightly, the
birds In the park were twittering mer-
rily, and in a poker session the night
before he had won $276, of which $76
was in cash. In an inside pocket a
check for $200, the balance of his win-
nings, nestled against his heart.
It was great to be alive anyway, and
wasn't it fine that he had yielded to
his wife's pleas to be allowed to buy
those spring clothes! The bills for
the clothes had been coming in for a
week now and had worried him some-
what. but now, with $276 he had not
expected to get and the money he al-
ready had. he would be able to pay
them without difficulty. His wife de-
served all the spring clothes he could
buy her. But wasn't it lucky that he
had drawn that fourth Jack against
that ace full the night before?
He reached the bank on which the
$200 check had been drawn and
blithely swung through the doors, in-
dorsed the paper and presented it at
the paying teller's window.
There was a pause while the teller
got busy with his books. In a moment
he was bark at the window:
"Insufficient funds," he said.
The sun was obscured behind black
clouds, the birds in the park were
squawking horribly, forgotten pains
began to remind our hero of their
existence.
If the maker of the check was the
kind of man who would give an N. G.
check to pay a poker loss, he was
surely not the kind of man who would
make good later, thought the holder of
the worthless paper. Then he had an
idea. He asked the teller how much
the check's maker had on deposit, but
the teller refused to inform him; say-
ing it was against the rules.
Over on a park bench our hero pon-
dered his problem. At length he reach-
ed a solution.
The check's maker waB in the the-
atrical business. Our hero visited a
pVess agent of his acquaintance and
got a couple of complimentary tickets.
Then he viBited the bank again From
the special guard he learned the pay-
ing teller's name.
Then ho wrote a note to the paying
teller, enclosing the theater tickets,
and to it he signed the name of the
maker of the check. He sent the note
and tickets by special messenger to
the teller.
Then after waiting half an hour he
called up the bank and asked to talk
to the teller. When he was connected
he gave the name of the maker of
the check, talked pleasantly for a mo-
ment about the theater tlcketB he had
Just sent, and then asked how large
bis balance was.
The teller, glad to do the favor to
one who had Just sent blm two theater
tickets, answered.
"One hundred and forty-three dol-
lars," he said.
Our hero after a comment or two
hung up the receiver and walked
straight around to the bank.
Here he questioned the receiving
teller to make sure there would be
no slip in his plan.
"Can I deposit money to another
man's account?" he asked.
"Certainly." Bald the receiving tell-
er. "We're always glad to get money
from everybody."
Our hero then made out a deposit
slip for $60. under the name of the
maker of the check, and shoved the
slip and $60 through the receiving
teller's window.
Then he walked to the paying teller
with his $200 check.
"I'd like cash for this," he said.
The paying teller looked at the
check and repeated his "insufficient
funds," but our hero said loftily:
"Pardon, but a deposit which makes
the check good was Just received."
The paying teller looked it up and
found this to be correct, so there was
nothing left for him to do but pay out
the money. At a cost of $60 our hero
had made a bad check for $200 good.

were the birds twittering —New York

If you Suffer from Backache, Lum-
bago, Kidneys or Rheumatism,
Take Hot Water and "AIMURIC"
The only way to boat a man at his
own game is to let him think he's
fooling you.
American men and women must guard
constantly against kidney trouble, l>e-
cause we eat too much and all our food
ia rich. Our blood is filled with uric
acid which the kidneys strive to filter
out, they weaker from overwork, be-
come vluggish; the eliininative tissues
dog and the result ia kidney trouble,
bladder weakness and a general decline
in health.
When your kidneys feel like lumps of
lead, when your back hurts or the urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night, when you suffer with
sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells,
acid stomach, or you have rMrumatism
when the weather is bad, get from your
druggist—"ANURIC." Because of urio
acid in overabundance in the system,
backache, pains here and there, rheuma-
tism, gout, gravel, neuralgia and sciatica
result. It was Dr. I'ierce who discovered
a new agent, called "Anuric," which will
throw out and eradicate this uric acid
from the system. Dr. Pierce believes
"Anuric" to lie 37 times more potent
than lithiii, and consequently you need no
longer fear muscular or articular rheuma-
tism or gout, or many other diseases which
are dependent on an accumulation of urio
acid within the body. Send Dr. Pierce,

Formsr Detroit Tiger, Sent Back Be-

About the most unfortunate mortal
in baseball Is Del Drake, who had two
or three trials with the Tigers, and
who was handed the pleasant task
of trying to pry Cobb, Crawford. Mcln-
tyre or Jones out of his Job. Del never
seems to be the right age. Detroit
kept sending him back because h<
didn't have enough experience, which
Is one way of saying that he was too
young. Now it is reported that Mem-
phis, which took blm when tbe St.

go because he's too old.
