BEAT A CRIPPLED TEAM
Imperials, Minus Their Pitcher,
Defeated by the San
Franciscos.
Almost Faultless Fielding Game
Played by the Successful
Ball-Tossers.

The Imperials had no more chance to
win Yesterdays game from the San Fran
ciscos than a one-armed man would have
to win wrestling match. With all their
players in position it was an almost dead
even proposition. but when they had to
substitute Eber to pitch in Kelly's place,
nothing but miracle would have accom-
plished victory for them. Kelly was in
iured in wagon accident and unable to
play.
Eber lasted just one inning in the box.
During that time ten OF the San Franciscos
came to the bat, five of whom hit safely
and six of whom scored. Monahan and
Beckett were eacn presented with base
on balls. In addition to his other troubles,
Eber made two wild pitches.
Smith relieved Eber in the second an d
the latter went to third, where his exhibit
ion was almost as bad as his battery
work. The little third baseman pitched
remarkable ball considering his lack of
practice, and until he grew tired in the
sixth the San Franciscos were practically
at his mercy. Lack of condition told.
however, and four hits punched In each
the sixth and seventh innings netted
Blake's men eight runs. They had also
made one in the second on hit,
Creamer's error and wild pitch.
1t looked like shutout for the I'M
perials up to the eighth, and the San Fran
cisco men played with might and main to
make it one. In the last inning but one
single by Tillson, followed by Creamer's
double, earned a run. Creamer also
scored on wo sacrifice hits.
The eighth inning was also marked by
the only error charged to the local play
ers. Murphy fumbled a slow. twisting
ground ball from Smiths bat. 1t was an
excusable msplay and an unfortunate
one, as it marred what would otherwise
have been a foultless fielding game.
Following is the official score:

Do you ever wake up in the night to
find yourself bathed in perspiration, which
stands IN beads on your forehead, feeling
as If every pore IN your skin was teeming
with weakening sweat? You feel hot
flush over your whole body. and for relief
you throw off the covers. Your hot flush
soon gives way to a clammy, sticky feel
ing, as you get chilled and your circula-
tion gets sluggish. Then you feel limp
and weak, as if these night sweats were
sapping the very lif- out of you. Perhaps
you allow yourself to ooze off to sleep and
forget to pull up the covers and you catch
cold. A few nights of this kind bring you
to realization that you are weakening in
nerve force and vitality. You take tonic
or stimulant in your effort to ward off the
symptoms that warn you of a toral col
lapse of your nerve and vital forces, and
soon fnd that such slim ulation leaves
reaction that kills your ambition and
ruins your stomach. Don't you see that
medicines won't cure your You need the
toning and invigorating effects of a mild

which you wake refreshed, with your fac
ulties alert and active and an appetite for
breakfast and ambition for work.

WHAT WILL HE DO WITH THEM.
Cubnn and Armenian Resolutions
Both on the Presidents Desk.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 9.-The
President has not yet given any intima-
tion as to what course he will take in
regard TO the Cuban resolutions, nor, in
deed, as to whether he will take any ac-
tion upon them at the present time.
Those whose opinions are entitled 10
weight assert that in a matter OF such
Importance the President Is not likely 10
act without grave deliberation.
The engrossed copy OF the Cuban reso-
lutions furnished the President remains
upon his desk, precisely as do the con-
current Armenian resolutions adopted by
Congress January 10Th last, requesting him
TO use his good offices with the European
Powers to put an end TO Turkish tyranny
in Armenia by the enforcement of the
provisions of the Berlin treaty. There is
no indication on the surface OF any Dur
pose on the part Of the President to send
in special message to Congress at any
early day on the Cuban question, nor has
the State Department thus far set its
clerical force to work compiling the ad-
ditlonal Cuban data asked for by the
House of Representatives. All the nu-
merous rumors on the subject appear 10
be chiefly based on imagination
