Thursday, September 18th, quotes an in
terview with Hammond wherein he
says the Tuft-Lyons boys are men and
professional ball players. All the play
ers are the sons of well known and re-
spectacle business men of this city, and
1t Is almost safe to say that their COM
bined weight would be much less than
the Alerts. Several San Francisco par
ties who witnessed the game declare
that at least three of the Alert players
are over age. Whereas the members of
the Tuft-Lyons club can produce proof

TIPS FROM THE BAT.
Two games at Athletic park today.
The Francis Wilson's play the Trilbys
the first game.
The Admirals and Francis Wilson's
game will be called as soon as first game
is concluded.
The Admirals have secured a new
catcher, who will catch his first game for
them today. He Is an old favorite.
Phil Knell returned from the east last
week and will play with the Admirals
in today's game. He will probably play
third base.
Bill Tyler asked for and obtained his
release from the Wilson's, and will pitch
for the Admirals hereafter. Tyler is one
of the hardest workers on the diamond.
Billie Kaymer was selected by the
managers at their last meeting to act as
league umpire. 1t Is said that now the
players of the Trilby team will not play
with him as umpire.
The park managers have made ar
rangements to have an officer on the
ground today. to keep order, and any
gentleman not accomanied by lady
will not be allowed in the grand stand,
This should have been done long ago.

WHY WE
SUCCEED!
Our Success in Curing
Chronic Diseases Is Not
the Result of Accident,
Nor Does 1t Come From
ANY Wonderful Secrets
Unknown to the rlediCal
Profession

We are not roaming the fields in
search of magical roots or herbs; we
are working along the lines of legiti-
mate medicine. The public is ever
ready to grasp at any so-called dis
covery, and this public indulgence has
given life to score of clamorous
pretenders, whose claims are as myth
zeal as their discoveries.
Our success has been achieved by
sheer force Of intelligence and special
ability. Each of our specialists has
been trained and educated for his
special work. 1t is not case of a
physician electing to be a specialist
and "presto," he is one. Each mem.
Der of our staff has been a student
under the worId-famous men in that
particular speciality, and to this alone.
we attribute our wonderful success.
The combination Of five specialists
is the latest improvement in medical
progress. 1t means that each patient
shall have the advice and care of as
many specialists as his or her disease
requires.
This is the perfection of medical
practice, and during the past year ii
has been proven to be superior to
all other methods. We have cured
hundreds of cases that resisted one.
man institutes and one-man methods,
and it was due solely to the fact that
our staff combination is the strongest
force you can bring to bear on chronic
disease. Try it once, and you will
soon be believer.
