glad to note that 1 was getting such j potential safeties, was worried for fear
that the other fellows would begin driving the ball over my head. But I pointed out that it was the general custom to give ordinary batsmen credit for driving the ball farther than they really could drive it. I showed that for every bajl hit near to the fences, a dozen balls would drop into the "Texas League" territory on the diamond. That convinced him that by playing in close, I was of greater value on defense than if I played far out. So my advice is play close to the bag in your earliest practice. Have a
teammate bat fungces far over your head. Chase after them. That gives'

RHEUMATISM
Torturing Pains and Swollen Joints Vanish When Rheuma Is Used or Money Refunded.
If there are any rheumatic sufferers who have not availed themselves of this generous offer they should do so at once. If Rheuma, the guaranteed prescription for rheumatism in any form, does not give quick and joyful relief the cost, small as it is, will be gladly returned without any quibbling or red tape. Rheumatism is a dangerous disease, and anyone who has the slightest sign of it should drive it from the system as quickly as possible. This is what Rheuma did for many. It should do as much for you. "1 have been laid up for one year with chronic arthritis," says one sufferer. "I had doctors galore, also spent four months in a sanitarium, but had practically no relief. Then I started taking Rheuma. Now 1 can go without crutches or other aid, which I could not do for the last nine months. I highly recommend it, and would gladly answer any questions asked on receipt of stamp for post- , age." Thomas H. Eddy, Schuylerville, N. Y. Rheuma is absolutely harmless and thoroughy reliable because it is one discovery that has forced rheumatism to yield and disappear. It is recommended and sold on the no-cure-no-pay plan by Quigey's Drug Stores and good druggists everywhere. Advertisement.
