BASEBALL Diamond News and Gossip Metz, of San Antonio, leads the Texas league batters, with an average of .326. Cy Forsythe, the man the Crackers nearlx bought, is right near the top with .309. The leading pitcher of the league is E. Moore, of Galveston, who has won 19 and 'ost six. Ens is the leading run getter, vith 74. • • » "I don’t care how many .300 hitters you have, it takes pitchers to win," says Con nie Mack. He’s probably known that a ong time, but it’s being borne in on him •nighty strong this season. ♦ • * Chief Meyers swings the biggest bat used by a baseball player It weighs 60 ounces. Hans Wagner wants a lot of wood in his bat, but doesn't care especial y what it weighs Harry Lord uses the smallest bat of any big league player. Erank Schulte uses a medium-sized bat. but the weight must all be in the hitting end. ♦ * • Eugene Packard, the great American association pitcher, can swat as well as hurl. In one game the other day he made three singles and a home run. • • • N. A. Cullop, the new pitcher bought trom the Bristol club of the Appalachian league by the Pelicans, will report to Charley Erank August 10 for a try-out. • ♦ • W hen the Yazoo City club expired by request of the Cotton States league there were sighs of relief at New Orleans. The clul» didn’t prove a great money-maker. • • • Mike Finn has sold Catcher Vance to Roanoke. • * « Al Moulton, of the Memphis club, has a torn ligament in his knee that may keep him from playing much more base ball this season. More hard luck for the Turtles. * • • Mighty few bona fide sales of players, by the Southern to big league clubs have been recorded this season. Demaree. W alsh and Moran are among the few men who were readily bought for delivery in the big ring. * * ♦ W eiser, the Charlotte player, bought by the Crackers, has just made his 100th hit. * * * A club in Wilmington, Del., uses a leg loss pitcher. His name is William Sailer, lie lost both legs in a railroad accident and uses artificial ones. King Cole has quit. He is now camping near Bay City, Mich., and he has admit ted to friends that he has only slight hope of ever regaining his old form. Hou Castro has a new third baseman named Brothers. With the season near ing its end The Count is still strengthen ing. Charley Murphy says that if he can dig up just one more Lavender, he’ll make the Giants hustle yet for that pennant. Clyde Milan, the Tennessee player with the Senators, has stolen over a half again more bases than Cobb. A youth took a maiden out to a recent White Sox game. It was early and a couple of dozen White Sox players were engaged in batting practice, whereupon, said the maiden. “Why, Ered, I thought a team had only nine men.” ♦ ♦ ♦ The Cubs’ only chance in the National league race- if they have a chance —is that their equipment of pitchers numbers Lavender, Richie, Liefield. Reulbach, Cheney and Brown; while the Giants have only Marquard, Mathewson and Tesreau. The Giants will play a shade more than 50 more games this season if weather condi tions are normal. » » • Thirty-five extra inning games have been played in the National league this season, twentv-six in the American. • ♦ • Here is exactly what Mike Finn got for Al Demaree: $7,000 in money. Gene Pau let, money back on Gardella and first call on Jacobsen next year. The Mobile club has surely been lucky about sendAig up stars. It has Zack Wheat. Bill Lelivelt. Frank Allen, Dee Walsh and Al Demaree to its credit. * ♦ . Temperance pays in baseball. Yet there is said to be one major league man ager who often says to his men before a game, 'Two kegs if we win. only one if we lose" and buys accordingly. No, his team isn't leading the league. * » » Baseball players say that the major league infields are rolled so hard that a double-header jars them like falling out < f a tenth story window. ♦ * * There are no great third basemen in the big leagues now men like Jimmy Collins and Bill Bradley. Harry Lord is rated about the best of the lot. * * « ,li c Jackson is said to get but $3,000 a i. o.ir. It is just barely possible that low salaue: may explain the Naps' continued low standing. ♦ * xjt Cincinnati papers say that Rube Ben ton could lie as good a man as Rube Marquard if he would only wake up and get a little ambition. John lames, a Philadelphia amateur pla-.or. was recently killed in a ball game, lie was stealing second when a thrown ball bit him in the head. He died at the hospital the night after the accident hap pened. . Manager Jess Tannehill has released Shortstop Bierman and signed al Newn ham for the Chiliocothe team. M • « If the ('rackets finish in last place again next tear we favor abolishing the South ern league. • • • Somers spent .$48,000 for players for the Naps las’ year ami worked four scouts. 'Phis year he will spend $50,000 and has worked five scouts. * * ♦ The Washington team has maintained a scouting force of one and lias spent ;"10 ionor so for players. \nd now look at them.

B.—Second Baseman James Delehanty, of the Detroit Amer ican league baseball club, was given notice of his unconditional release to day.

This is Ty Cobb's last year under the $27,(100 contract which he signed three years ago with the Detroit club. Before the great play ei dons a uniform next spring lie will have to be signed to a new agreement, and it is needless to say that Ulis will call for decidedly more salary than he is at present drawing. Cobb is mum on the subject; only to say that if he plays next year he will be well paid. While there is nothing authentic about It, it is asserted that he proposes to demand a three-year contract which calls for $45,000. a figl ure by no means exorbitant when his ability as a player and his drawing pro clivities are taken into consideration.

The disease has come down through all the ages and is to-day, as it has ever been, a scourge and blight upon hu manity. The symptoms of Contagious Blood Poison are the same as in its ; earliest history, but its cure has now become an accomplished fact, where- I as, it was once considered an incurable infection. S. S. S. is an antidote efor the virus of Contagious Blood Poison, and cures it in all its forms and stages. S. S. S. possessing both purifying and tonic properties routs out all the poison, and at the same time builds up the general health. A person who has been cured of Conta gious Blood Poison by the use of S. S. S. need not fear a return of its symptoms at any future time. This great medicine checks the progress of the poison and gradually but surely all sores and erup tions heal, ulcerated mouth and throat pass away, the hair stops falling out, copper-colored splotches ’ fade away, and when the blood is thoroughly purified no sign of the disease :is left.
