CUBS COWEN!
TODAY, US EVEHS
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 nningt Tht n Reulbach was
sent in. but gave way to 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 niijth.
I esreau 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.

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 pennant.
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 victory Mike Finn an
nounced that Cavet* w ould 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 limes during
that same space of time, two of the
seven being doubles.
The Crackers took kindly to
Campbell’s assortment and hani
m-red 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
larg r had it not been for the phe
nomenal fielding of Maloney, who
eapturejj at least two seeming
triples running with the ball.
Lyons' left-handed stab of Pau
let’s drive to the right-field fence
in the seventh was 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.

SCROFULOUS TROUBi'ES
No truth is more forcibly manifested in physical life than the old
saying "like begets like; for just as the offspring of healthy ancestry are
blessed with pure, rich blood insuring 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
causeandcuresthedisea.se. Then it supplies the
weak, blood with healthful properties. S. S. S. is
, , , made entirely of roots, herbs and barks, and is an
absolutely sate remedy for young or old. Book on the blood and medical
advice free. THE SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA.
