Tommy's mother, with a twinkle in
her eye, said: "But, Tommy, what if
you shouldn't have any little boys;
what if your children are all girls?”
Such a possibility never entered
Tommy's head. The suggestion was
appalling. A look of blank dismay
passed over the child's face.
"Gee! that would be the dickens!"
he ejaculated.

that the object of their admiration Is
sewed up tight by some rival club for

of the scouts is of a scarcity of prom-

Can it be that the scouts combed

they themselves are responsible for

WAS MOST POPULAR PLAYER
Jiggs Donahue Was Developed as
First Baserr.an While Playing With
Duffy at Milwaukee.
When Jiggs Donahue passed away
at Columbus one of the most popular
players ever connected with a Dayton
jliajcin ------ - yi .
ball club expired, writes Jerry in the L=ajD
Dayton News. Donahue was a mem-
ber of the Old Soldiers in the days
of the Interstate league, helping Bill
Armour bring pennants to this city.
He was sold to Pittsburgh and after-
wards drifted to St. Louis, Minneapo-
lis and Milwaukee, being sold by the
last-named club to the Chicago White
Sox, where he gained his greatest
fame. In this city, in fact, until he
was sent to Milwaukee, Jiggs was a
catcher, but being a left-handed
throw'er, he was unable to make good
behind the bat in the big league and
it was Hughie Duffy at Milwaukee
who conceived the idea of making a
first-sacker out of the hustling ball
player. The former received made
good off the reel, and it was only a
matter of months until he was a star
at his new position. In 1906 his re-
markable fielding, daring work on the
bases, hitting in the pinches and win-
ning spirit were big factors in the
success of the Chicago White Sox in
landing the American league pen-
nant. In the series for the world's
championship which followed, Don-
ahue has always been given credit
for being the man that put the light
in the Sox and enabled them to win
four out of six games from the be-
lieved-to-be unbeatable Cubs. After
this series Charley Comiskey, himself
a first baseman of remarkable ability,
stated that Donahue was the “greatest
first baseman of all time.”
It was not only his sterling worth
as a ball player that gained Donahue
his great popularity with the fans in
every city in which he played. Dona-
hue was one of those fellows who
a look over the youngsters now ca- j
vorting on major league diamonds we j
find evidence in abundance to indi- j
cate that such is the state of affairs, j
Many youthful players have bobbed
up into the spotlight of stardom since |
the 1913 -season got under way, more j
than for a number of seasons back.
An even dozen youngsters have shot j
forth this year as real masters of j
the mound—seven in the American j
league and five in the national. Tw elve j
debutante twirlers who already rank
close to the best of the veterans. In
Ban Johnson's circuit Boehling and j
Engel of Washington, Russell of the
White Sox, Houck and Brown of the
Athletics, Keating of the Yankees and j
Leverenz of the Browns have made l
good right off the reel, while Tom
Lynch's organization boasts Demaree
of the Giants, Mayer of the Phillies,
Rudolph and James of the Braves and
Chief Johnson of the Reds.
Unless the expensive Larry Chap- j
pell fulfills expectations, the Ameri- j
can league will not be able to boast
a single star infielder, though the Na- |

of New York and Kommers of Pitts- J

more fortunate in developing star in- j

American Business Hustle.
Here is an Instance of the thorough-
ness with which England's commer-
cial rivals do business. A leading
municipality in the far east Is order-
ing a large quantity of electrical ma-
terial, and the head of the department
concerned was authorized to visit Ger-
§== many, Great Britain and the United
{p States to Inspect plants. He crossed
Up to America first nnd found that the
American agent from the city from
~ which he came had notified every
manufacturer of his visit and his mis-
sion, with the result that when he
landed he received a sheaf of letters
of invitation from manufacturers, and
of offers of hospitality. As a result,
he saw everything he wanted under
exceptionally favorable conditions,
and every courtesy was shown to him.
The German representative Is doing
precisely the same, but nothing what-
ever has been done by or on behalf
of the British manufacturer. If the
representative wants to see anything

ated on, but no operating was done.
All this cost me lots of money, and j
1 was no better off than before I
started.
Finally I began to take Cardui, the
woman s tonic. After taking six bot-
tles, the pains are all gone, and I feel
like a new woman entirely. 1 am now
able to do all the housework for my-
self, husband and five children, with
ease. Before taking Cardui, 1 was in
bed seven weeks at a time, not ublo
to do anything at all.
I cannot praise Cardui enough for
what it has done for me."
There are thousands of women who
have been benefited by taking Cardui,
the woman's tonic, and there are thou-
sands who are suffering from some
form of womanly trouble—-suffering
for the lack of Cardui.
Are you of this number? If so,
don’t delay, but begin taking Cardui
to-day. What it has done for so many
others, it should surely do for you.

It was St. Patrick's eve and in his

in delight, "how really sweet of ye.

"Hot City” Teama Can’t Win.
The teamB in “the two hot cities,"
as he calls them, have practically no
chance to win pennants in the big
leagues, said Connie Mack of the Ath-
letics.
"A ball team at Washington or St.
Louis will have to be 20 per cent,
stronger than any of its rivals to fin-
ish on top," he declared. "The heat
and humidity rob the players of their
vitality. I caught in Washington three
seasons and know. St. Louis is near-
ly as bad.
"Even when the Athletics play a
brief series in those towns they leave
with less life than when they entered
them.”

Nest on a Sheep's Back.
An extraordinary story of a star-
ling’s nest on a sheep’s back cones
from Bideford. England, and is told
by the Pall Mall Gazette. During
sheep rearing operations on Gourn-
wood farm one of the shearers cut
into a fleshy substance, and examina-
tion showed that he had cut in half
a young starling, which was in a nest
that had been built in the sheep’s
wool, and which contained two other
fledglings still alive. The nest was
composed of moss and twigs. For
some weeks previous to the shearing
the sheep, with the others, had the
run of three fields near the farm.

Little Faith was possessed of a
most friendly disposition, but had not
yet reached the age where she could
understand the silence that may wrap
itself around a wordless intimacy. In
fact, she demanded speech, frequent
and loving.
One night her brother was studying
most assiduously his arithmetic les-
Bon, and after calling to ldm several
times without receiving an answer,
she appealed to her father.
“George is busy," said father.
"1 know," replied Faith, "but he
might at least have said 'Shut up.'"
