Smith’s men are sore at the double defeat yesterday, and they will go after their tormentors 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 the enemy 1n 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—eo far as can be seen Just now.

S. for the blood. And it is remarkably effective in that form of skin disease known as pruritis, or intense itchlrg. The action of S. 8. 8. 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 S« S. S. is the large profit made on something cheaper from crude drugs. Beware of any attempt to persuade you 'to buy something in place of S. 8. S. EMPIRE STATE LEAGUE. Games Saturday.
