Hillary Swain was on the rubber in
the second game, and again demonstrated
1 that he can pitch. The Colts could not
| hit him consecutively, and the tail syca-
more won his sixth succ essive game.
| He had fair control, and. Ike al his other
victories, was steady with men ON bases.
He gave four Inen passes, but neither
one succeeded in getting across the home
plate.
Fox had nine chances, and he handled
all Of theIe in clean style. He is quick in
touching men, but lost Ryan in the fourth
while running TO second. He, however,
threw quickly to Tucker and caught Nc
Connick.
Ryan made very clever play in the
sixth DeMontrcviIle had walked to first,
and Farrell sent a fly TO right. Ryan
caught the hall and Iassed it to Iange.
Then Gene started for second without re-
turning to first. The big fielder then
threw the bah to Dahlen, who in turn sent
il to AnsOn and the runner was out
DeMontTeville was regular ball fiend,
not only did ne field well, but he made
home run and a double in the fourth
In this inning the Senators took Briggs
| measure in the fashion of d afirst-class tailor
The hits fell thick and fast, and the
twirler from the Windy City must have
thought he was caught in a Kansas cyclone.
Yet he tiid not give up, and thereafter the
Senators did little with the stick.
Senator Brown sent his men first TO the
bat, and for three Innings could not do
anything with the erratic Buttons In
the succeeding turn at the bat, however
Gettnan singled and was driven home by
terrific drive to left center. Farrell walk
ed, and scored on fuckers swipe into the
right field bleachers. Fox, Wrigley and Sell
bach followed with singles, and Brown
doubled Gettman, on bis second time at
the hat. flew out to Decker, Selbach scoT-
ing on the out a. did Brown the ball getting
away from Donohue, but Selbach interfered
with Briggs arter he had scored and Lynch
sent Thomas hack 10 third He was brought
home by DeMontreviIle's two-b -bagger along
the left foul line. BY this time eight runs
were scored
The Statesmen kept up the good work
in the fifth, wIigley, Swain and Selhach
singing. and Donohue's bad throw to
second aided in scoring two runs. The
Chicago catcher threw wild in an effort
to catch Swain going to the middle Rag
Wrigley tailed on this play, and when
Callahan threw Wild to Ansun after stop
ping Seibi.ch's bingle, the long twirler
went home.
The visitors scored in the first inning
on Wrig!ey's low throw after stopping
Decler's hard-h hit grounder, a wild pitch
and Dablen's single.
in the fifth inning the Colts made three
singles and one man walked, but failed
TO send = man across the home plate

Diagnosis of Grippe.

True grippe is germ disease. These
germs are in the circulation, and per-
wade every tissue and organ of the body.
This brings speedy collapse and often
death to the aged and debilitated. After
the acute stage people wonder that they
do not recover. They call it the after
effects of the grippe. The fact is the
germs are still alive, and if not DESTROYED,
will go on breaking down the constitu-
hon, and leave you physical wreck.
The only germicide known that searches
out and destroys every grippe germ in
the system is Brazilian Balm. A week
or ten days treatment effects CON-
plete cure.

this extra demand. The DEPART
ment of agriculture estimates
the total wheat crop of the Unit
ed States this year at460, 900, 900
bushels, or 80, 900, 900 bushels in
excess of last year. A big sur
plus wheat crop and an advanc-
ing price is the condition that is
now making glad the American
farmer. Throughout the grain
belt of the United States the crop
of wheat is not only the largest
since 1891, but it is now safe,
while the European crop, on the
contrary. is the smallest since
1891. Expert statistician5 esti-
mate that the exportable surplus
in the United States this year is
185, 900, 900 bushels, as compared
with 145, 900, 900 bushels last
year, a balance of 40, 900, 600
bushels over last year to aid in
bringing good times.

the rise in the price of wheat to
the tariff bill and the good

to an immense crop of wheat in
this country, coupled with short
crops in most of the other grain
producing countries of the
world, is a conjunction of circum-
stances that cannot fail to be adj
vantageous to American farmers.
While the shortage in Russia,
the Argetine Republic, Australia,
India and other countries is now
said to amount to one-tenth of
the worlds crop, the United
States wheat growers; who for.
tunately overplanted their prob
able market by about 75,000,0O
bushels, will profit greatly by
