KIDS TO-DM
T HE Crackers will have a chance
to slip over a little of the old
revenge »tuff this afternoon
when they hook up with the Pepper
Kids for a couple of games, starting
at 2:15, unless the weather man has
made other arrangements
Smith’s men are sore at the double
defeat yesterday, and they will go
after their tormenters for all there
la in It. Needless to say, the tor
mentors will do their best to keep up
the carnage, and the resulting com
bats ought to be worth traveling
miles to see.
Tommy Long's doctor said last
night that Tommy might be able to
play to-day. The speedy outfielder
contracted a heavy cold from playing
In the rain Thursday, and was In bed
all day yesterday, a touch of indi
gestion adding to his troubles
Manager Smith was not certain this
morning who would pitch for his club
He fancied Carl Thompson would
work in the first game, and had more
than half a mind to shoot Gil Price
at tho enemy in the second.
Manager Elberfeld, as usual, was
not divulging his plans, but unless he
has received a fresh consignment of
hurlers he hasn’t much option. At
any rate, the pesky Pole won’t bother
us—so far as can be seen Just now.

TO MANAGE BROOKLYN
NEW YORK. Aug 1«.-Harry Smith,
manager of the Newark team of the
International league, which Is believed
to be a sure pennant winner this year,
may succeed William Dahlen as man
ager of the Brooklyns at the end of the
present season
At least this Is the story circulated
by Insiders who know what Is going on
behind closed doors at Ebbets Field.
The Brooklyn and Newark clubs are
owned outright by Charles H Ebbets,
Stephen W. McKeever. Edward J. Mc-
Keever. Henry W. ^Tedicus and other*
The failure of the Dodgers and the won
derful success of the Indians have
prompted deep thought among the own
ers of those teams.

There is probably no other remedy

And It Is remarkably effective in that
form of skin disease known as pruritis,
or Intense Itching. The action of S. S. S.
is rapid. It contains one ingredient, the
active purpose of which is to stimulate
the tissues to the healthy selection of
its own essential nutriment. And the
medical elements of this matchless
blood purifier are Just as essential to
well-balanced health as the nutritious
elements of the meats, grains, fats and
sugars of our daily food. These facts
are brought out in a highly Interesting
book on skin diseases, compiled by
the medical department of the Swift
Specific Co., 184 Swift Bldg . Atlanta,
Ga. It is mailed free, together with a
special letter of advice, to all who are
struggling with a blood disease.
Get a bottle of S. S. S. to-day of your
druggist. It will surprise you with its
wonderful action in the blood.
Don’t accept something offered you as
"Just as good." The only reason why
anyone should not try to sell you

something cheaper from crude drugs.
