GUBS CONFIDENT
TODAY. S 3 EVERS
WILL BE BACK
CHICAGO. Aug. 17.—Whether
the Cubs can reduce the
Giants’ lead in the National
league pennant race to five games,
or whether the Giants can in
crease it to seven, was the one top
ic that was discussed at every
breakfast table in Chicago today.
The city has gone baseball mad
and no world’s series contests ever
awakened more discussion or more
partisan feeling than the present
series between the ancient enemies
of the big league.
That Johnny Evers will be back
in the game today was a delight to
the Chicago fans. They are count
ing on the little second baseman to
do wonders in the contest. That
"Lurid Lew” Richie, who won the
first game of the series for the
Cubs, would be on the mound for
Chance’s men with Christy Math
ewson doing the heavy work for
the Giants was the program of the
leaders early in the morning. An
other enormous crowd was expect
ed at the contest.
With Tesreau pitching in fine
form, New York defeated Chicago,
7 to 4, yesterday and evened up
the series. The big right-handed
pitcher held Chicago to three hits
until the ninth inning, while New
York drove two pitchers out of the
box early in the game.
New York'forced Jimmy Laven
der, who started the game for Chi
cago, to retire before he had pitched
two innings; Then Reulbach was
sent in, but gave way tri Cheney
in the seventh after New York had
made four hits off him. New York
got a run off Cheney in the eighth
and he was relieved by Toney in
the ninth.
Tesreau was given brilliant sup
port. Murray made two sensation
al catches, running back into the
crowd and pulling down drives that
otherwise would have gone for two
base hits. New York ran wild on
the bases, stealing six off Archer
and one off Cotter.
Do you want to change jobs? Perhaps
the one you have doesn’t suit your taste.
Or surroundings are disagreeable. Or
salary isn’t large enough. Or there’s no

chance to change is offered today in The

Mobile, ala., Aug. 17.—De-,
termined to get square for
the defeat of yesterday, the
Gulls will go after the Crackers
with vengeance this afternoon. Just
when the local team looked to be
still in the race for the penTiant,
Whitey Alperman’s Atlanta crew
took a fine, young tumble out of
’em. Hence this afternoon plenty
of warm doings at the local pas
ture.
Brady will probably do the hurl
ing for the Crackers today. The
big fellow is going good right now.
and he may pull his team through
to another vietpry, Mike Finn an
nounced that Cavet would be on
the mound for his jolly ball tossers.
The Crackers made .Campbell
look like a selling plater yester
day when he hooked up with Ved
der Sitton in the first game of the
series, which Atlanta won. 7 to 2.
It did not take long to discover
that Sitton had Mobile's goat, as
was exemplified in the fact that the
locals got only one scratch and one
clean single in the first six innings,
while the Crackers had slammed
Campbell safely seven times dining
that same space of time, two of tiie
seven being doubles.
The Crackers took kindly to
Campbell's assortment and ham
mered the ball through the infield
like rifle shots, and then over their
heads to all parts of the pasture
where the fielders were not; and
the score would have been much
larger had it not been for the phe
nomenal fielding of Maloney, who
captured at. least two seeming
triples running with the ball.
Lyons' left-handed stab of Pau
let's drive to the right-field feme
in the seventh wa= easily the fea
ture, and beat Mobile out of a cou
ple of runs, men being on second
and third at the time. Alperman’s
fielding and hitting was another
feature.

BROWN KEENE RECALLED
BY INDIANAPOLIS CLUB
INDIANAPOLIS. Aug. 17—Buster
Keene has been brought back from the
Springfield team. Manager O'Day de
cided to recall the young first sacker in
order to make sure that he may escape
the draft.
O Day brought Koene along with him
from Springfield when he took the
managerial job hero and sent him back
again after a trial of three or four
days. He now believes that he was a
little hasty.
No truth is more forcibly manifested in physical life than the old
saying ‘like begets like; for just as the offspring of healthy ancestrv are
blessed with pure, rich blood in.-uring good health, so the children of blood
tainted parentage inherit a polluted circulation which fosters a chain of
scrofulous troubles. The usual sign of a scrofulous inheritance are swollen
glands about the neck, weak eyes, pale, waxy complexions, sores and ulcers
and general poor health. These symptoms are most often manifested in
e early life, though sometimes maturity is reached
before the trouble breaks out. Treatment should
be commenced at the first indication of Scrofula for
it may get beyond control if allowed to run un
checked. S. S. S. is the very best treatment for
Scrofula. It renovates the circulation and drives
out all scrofulous matter and deposits. S. S. S.
goes to the bottom of the trouble and removes the
cause and cures the disease. Then it supplies the
weak, blood with healthful properties. S. S. S, is
made entirely of roots, herbs and barks, and is an
absolute!), safe remedy for young or old. Rook on the blood and medical
advice free. fflE Sl y /fT S p Eanc qq ATLA^TAf GA

MONTGOMERY, ALA.. Aug. 17.
Manager John Dobbs is making prep
arations now for next year’s baseball
season. He is trimming up the Billiken
i squad, getting new material and letting
, go the mon whom he can do without.
This has been made evident by his re
lease of Hallman, who played left field
for Montgomery about two months.
Walker, the heavy swatting recruit
from the Selma (Ala.) team, has taken
. Hallman’s place.
"Hallman is a splendid ball player
and a good man.” said Manager Dobbs,

year and had to let him go."
