What the BOYS Drink.

Smith, the pitcher of the Newarks,
was not hit much by our National boys
yesterday, it takes nerve to hit his
curves atthe right moment. Under the
circumstances the home team did pretty
well. 1t was hard contested game
throughout. Washington has the finest
nine in the country, the reason for it Is
the boys drink Lemp's extra pale beer,
which does not give them any headach @,
Itrefreshes after a hot game. To day the
Newarks will be knocked out In style,
as Bob Barr will pitch, and the public
can judge each for themselvey which
beer Is the best, Newark or Lemps' st.
Louis. Mr.. Dan O'Brien of the Emmett
House sells it. Step over when you are
dry and drink glass OF Lemp's.
Charles Dletz also knows how to cater
to the public. His trade demanded
Lemp's, and he has IL now.
