9.9.0. BLOOD POISON
When the blood becomes infected with the virus of Contagious Blood
(poison, the symptoms are soon manifested. The mouth and throat ulcerate,
'ropper-colored spots appear, a red rash breaks out, the hair begins to come
feut, and usually sores and ulcers show themselves on different parts of the
btody. At the first sign of the disease 8.8. 8. should be taken, for the
trouble is too powerful and dangerous to trifle with. If allowed to run on
the tendency is to work down and attack the bones and nerves, and some
times it makes a complete physical wreck of the sufferer. The disease can
make no such headway if S. 8. 8. is commenced and used according to direc
tions; its progress can be stopped, the poison removed, and health
preserved. S. 8. S. goes into the blood and removes the insidious, virus,
cleanses the circulation and makes a complete and permanent cure by
driving out the cause. 8. 8. S. quickly takes effect on the blood, and grad
ually the symptoms disappear, the health is improved, the skin cleared of
all spots sores and blemishes, and when 8. 8. S. has thoroughly purified the
circulation no trace of the disease is left. S. S. 8., a purely vegetable remedy,

Quick Thinkers Make Baseball as Lively as Poker
+•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+
Bluffs and Stalls Cut Big Figure in Popular Game
By Percy H. Whiting.
AM ER I C A'S two national
(fames, baseball and draw
poker, are a lot alike In a lot
of ways, as might be expected.
There Is much blurting and much
saying one thing and meaning an
other in both of them.
A smart player is likely to pull
anything at any time, and much
of this fine stuff is wasted on the
fans.
A remark may change the whole
trend of the game.
Jack Barry pulled such a re
mark for the Athletics last year.
It was the ninth inning of an im
portant game, and the score was 2
to 1 in favor of the Mackmen. A
fast runner reached first, and as
the case was desperate, he lit out
for second. The throw to Barry
was wretched, and as the runner
slid into second the ball sped over
Barry's head. If the runner found
out that the ball was rolling to the
outfield, which he had not, because
of his slide, he could scramble to
his feet and make third. So Bar
ry turned calmly to the umpire and
said, unconcernedly, ‘Td 'av' had
him, Bill, if I'd held the ball."
The runner judged from this off
hand utterance that the ball was
right at Barry's feet. Before the
coachers could wake him up to the
real situation, the ball had been re
gained by the center fielder. The
next batter hit a long fly. on which
the runner could have scored if he
had reached third. The next one
flied out. and the game was over.
Barry, by saying one thing and
meaning another, had stalled off a
tie.

rIM FOX tried a piece of client
J strategy one day in the red
hottest game that Ponce DeLeon
ball park ever ss,w It was the
year Memphis and Atlanta battled
so brilliantly for a pennant. With
the Crackers one game to the good,
the Turtle team arrived in Atlanta.
The locale won the first game. The
second day it rained. Memphis
wanted a doubleheader the third
day, but BUI Smith ruled against
it, despite a lot of talk about pro
tests and such. George Suggs and
Tom Hughes were the opposing
pitchers, and nothing happened un
til the eighth. Then Jim Fox man
aged to get to second. The next
man up hit a stinger to Charley
Babb, which the Memphis manager
juggled. Under orders from the
coacher at third, Fox rounded that
bag and started for home. Babb
recovered the ball, snapped It home,
and Fox was trapped. He turned
toward third, but Babb was waiting
for him. Owing to his uncanny
length. Jtm was no agile runner.
But he was a quick thinker. He
figured that if he could interfere
with the ball the umpire, Dan
Pfenninger, wouldn’t dare to face
that crowd of ten thousand yell
ing Atlantans and call him out for
interference.
So Jim stuck his arm In front of
the ball as It was thrown to Babb
and deflected it so greatly that he
was able to score unmolested.
Only a few of the ten thousand
fans knew what had happened.
Dan Pfenninger. after summing up
his whole career, admitted that it
was the toughest decision he ever
made. He called Fox out, and the
quick thinking was wasted. The
game went into an extra inning tie,
and you know the rest. But Fox
had been there with snappy
brain work.
• • •
a NOTHER historic case is that
x * of Newt Fisher and Pitcher
Nickens. Nickens was an awful
gump, but invincible when he was
going right. He was working
against Nashville and had the then
Fishermen on his hip. Fisher was
worried, but not quite at his wit's
end. He waited until an inning
when there -were two errors be
hind Nickens. Then, when the
pitcher left the field, Fisher moved
alongside and began to commiser
ate with him.
"It’s mighty tough, old man,” he
began, "to have a lot of dubs throw
ing the game away behind you.
It looks to me as though they were
doing It on purpose. It’s a shame
to see a. fine young pitcher like
you working his head off to let a
lot of dubs throw the game. If I
were you, I'd see ’em dead before
I’d work myself to death for ’em.”
"Durned if you ain’t right,” quoth
Nickens, intelligently.
And irt the next Inning he went
back in the box. grooved every
ball, and Fisher's team won by
about sixteen runs. A few words
that sounded one way and listened
another turned the trick.

KID ELBERFELD was ever a
quick thinker and a great strat
egist. Once last year, while he
was with Washington, the Senator
pitcher was hurt making the third
out in an early inning. The Wash
ington club was in the lead. It was
a cinch If there was time to get a
pitcher ready. McAleer sent out a
man to warm up, but his chances
looked bad, for the flrsh Wash
ington batter hit the first ball and
was out, while the second fouled
out on the third ball pitched. El
berfeld was at bat next. It was
up to him to prolong the game.
“For heaven’s sake, take as much
time as you can," said McAleer.
Elberfeld nodded and walked to the
plate. He fouled the first ball
pitched, then he waited oilt two
balls, 'then he fouled off another,
then he wafted for another ball.
Then, by actual count, he fouled
off fifteen balls. Naturally this
killed time, and before they finally
managed to get him out. the relief
pitcher had warmed up and was
able t*o hold the opposition safe
and cinch the game. Elberfeld’s
quick thinking and accurate stick
work had saved the dav.

were out. That is a favorite trick
