A False DIAGNOSIS.

La Grippe is COMPOUNDED by many persons
with severe attack of catarrh. which in some
respects resembles the former. These indi-
viduals suffer severely with pain about the
forehead, eyes and ears, with soreness in
throat and stoppage of the nasal passages and
in fact, are incapacitated for work of any
kind for days at time. These are catarrhal
sufferers. Ely's Cream Balm has been used
with the best results in such cases. The
remedy will give instant relief.

Cincinnati, July l5.-There was no ban
quet spread, no opening OF bottles, nor
exchange of greeting after to-day's game
between the Senators and Maysville, KY,
teams.
On the contrary, Manager Schmelz, Capt.
Jack Glasscock and the balance of the
Washington team sneaked like lot of cul
pTits for the train and, assisted by the
friendly police, made in safety.
tits sareto say thatwhenever Washington
has occasion to go by rail they win scratch
Kentucky for keeps.
Washington was defeated That is the
first chapter OF the story. or course, the
Senators say it was the umpire, but that is
always the case when a team is beaten.
The Maysvillians said the umpire was all
right, which makes up chapter second of the
little melodrama.
The sequel was knives, pistols and the
intervention OF police
JACK STARTED IT.
Jack Glasscock was the offender He
was at the bat and Umpire O'Donnell made
decision that aroused the ire OF Pebbly
Jack
The Senators had all along been getting
wrathy and the decision was the straw
IlaU broke J0e camel $ Ddtkr as IL were.
GlasSc0ck applied an oppTobrlous epithet
10 Uhat sacred function and started for
O'Donnell with the bat. He had no time to
slug or otherwise malreat the umpire
In moment the TWO men were surrounded
by members OF both teams and an Instant
later the field was alive with spectators.
Pistols and knives Were drawn, but cool
heads and the police interfered and blood,
shed was happily averted.
After matters had quieted the game
was finished. Maysville won by a ratio
OF to ! , and rightly, too.
The Washingtons played a very ragged
game. and no club, in or out of the league,
has license to play an Indifferent article OF
ball against Maysville without suffering
the consequences.
Cincinnati tried TO play horse against
the same team and was defeated. No mat
ter how bad the umpire might have acted
| the Senators could not have won at the
| game they were playing and have no cause
J for complaint.
RIEMAN A PUZZLE.
Failure to find Rieman's delivery when
hits were necessary caused the downfall
of the visitors.
When too late they awoke to the gravity
! OF the situation and discovered that Riemar
was a Chinese puzzle too hard to solve.
Boyd was easy for the Maysville boys
and they hammered him for thirteen hits
This, added TO Washington's errors, tell
the tale of the downfall of the Senators
