It seems that, the ownership of the Baltimore club which is mostly Mr. Jacques Dunn htut incurred the dis pleasure of certain big league rm.g nulcH because of his independent stand with reference to selling star ball players, etc., and It was made plain that In case a deal went over M.

Adams knows it and admits it. i In ISO!) twelve long years ago "riabe" Adams, In the world's series that year, was the hero. Then"nothlns more than a rookie, he won three games of the series. It was nip and tuck between Pittsburgh and Detroit, and Kid Adams separated the Tigers from the world's championship. He w.im the wonder pitcher of that time. Some years s:nce then the great "I'.abe" didn't play the greatest brand of baseball extant. Half a dozen years ago they said he was through, and it did at times look like it. Hut last year "Pabe" took a brace. He has been a popular idol hereabouts for a long time. Win or lost-, the gang was al wavs for him, and they boosted him when they were roasting other play- j er.

Realizinc that Pittsburgh wnuM come mighty near having a winning j team this year. "Pahe" Adams deter-j mined he would pitch in one more world's series.

Here's Adam's own story: j "T cannot explain my lasM"? much j Inneer thjtn m:inv other pitchers On J fmv other theory than this. I always Ho has the sunniest disposition and traveled around the circuit times that 1 am tired of it all, much as I like basehall. nothin please me better, when this season is over, than to retire to my Missouri farm and confine my connections with baseball henceforth to reading about big games in the sporting pages." What sort of a chap is "13a he" Adams? Well, briefly, he is the most lovable sort of a fellow yon ever met. Dishonest begems, seeking to excite public sympathy, have developed a shell-shock school" in Berlin. Grad uates have learned the technique of shaking as it suffering from chronic ague. They mimic men who really have been hurt and cheat them out of the sympathy which they deserve. take thinas easy, and I never worry. I discovered many years a so that when I exerted myself I was not so effective, for the mere effort of trying to be uncommonly sood distracted my mind from the simple task of. pitch ing. The new changes ill pitching rules have bothered many of the vet erans, but I do not mind them verv much. My only kick was the rule which prevented a pitcher from run ning the gloss oft a ball.

Now I am very well and can do my own housework. I can gladly recommend Lydia E. Pinkham's medicine to suffering women." Mrs. Bkktha Likbing, K. F. D., Havenswood.W.Va. The ordinary day of most housewives is a ceaseless treadmill of washing, cooking, cleaning, mending, sweeping, dusting and caring for little ones. How much harder the tasks when some de rangement of the system causes head aches, backaches, bearing-down pains and nervousness. Every such woman should profit by Mrs. Liering's experi ence. Ketnember this, for over forty fears, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound baa been restoring health. een temper that ever blessed a man. Ilis private life is clean, his habits ci rrect. and he is even a gentleman. Put, what is more, he is Pittsburgh's popular idol. The fans here hope he wins another world's championship flag. They would .probably give him the town, with the great Carnegie institute thrown in, if he does. When Adams goes to the mound in the coming world series he will have several of his old l!M9 teammates to whoop 'er up for him. First of all, there will be r.eorge Gibson, now manager of the Pirates, who then was a catcher with Adams. Then there will be HitniiH Wagner, bow-legs baby, roii-not. nod all. Likewise, there will be Deacon Phillipee, who pitched in that great world series, and Fred Clarke is coming all the way from his home in Kansas. The old-time Pirates will back Adams to the sky with their cheers and their rolls. A Blanket Order, as Twere V JOT, I "4 v r : v w . v.';''v-'V'..v fc. ' 1 b(S A -1 .'',riTii -vows, 'f V Y r j .
