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.

NUN MIL TBV TO HOLD GDI OULLSTODW 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. i [SANTAL-MIDY Relieves in 24 Hours Catarrh of the Bladder I All Druggists Bezuare of Counterfeits II SANTAL-MIDY Thursday the Grand Parade, the most brilliant and spectacular feature of the great Congress, will be pulled off. 10.000 Odd Fellows will line the streets from Capitol to Ponce DeLeon park.

MARTIN MAY xf 19i/ 2 PEACHTREE STREET UPSTAIRS STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL UNREDEEMED PLEDGES y 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.
