UMPIRE HURsT's OUTBREAK
Will Probably End His Career as .
League Umpire.

League Umpire.
Whatever provocation ne may have had.
there Is no doubt that Umpire Hurst's out
break at Cincinnati Wednesday will ter
nitrate his career as a National League
umpire. according to the PHILADELPHIA
Press. President Young may not remove
him. but his reappointment next season is
quite out of the question. AS a matter of
fact. it Is said that Hurst's fate In this re-
spect was settled some time ago.
1t will be remembered that In 1895 Presi-
dent Young sprang a sensation by failing
to reappoint Tim on his stan of umpires
Hurst had always been q great fayorite
with Mr.. Young. and it developed that q
majority of the clubs had entered a yigor-
that time 1t was said that Hurst's Ian
guage ard actions toward the players were
behind the protest, as well as his prize ring
connections.
Since then Hurst has had a great deal of
trouble with ball players. Tim Is an az
gressive. square-jawed firebrand, with alb
solutely no control over his temper He
knows nothing of policy or dignity. Abso-
lutely fearless as far as personal courage
is concerned, he fights the roughs of The
ball field with their own ammunition. AS
q result OF this system the newspapers
have teemed from time to time with ac-
counts of personal alterations between the
umpire and pugnacious players, and Hurst
has gained quite an unenviable reputation.

Four races and three heats of fifth were

that the bettors were badly dumped.
In the 20S trotting William Penn broke
badly in the first heat and was beaten I'M

time as he came under the wire.

Rheumatism,
Oh the Pain!

The aches and pains of Rheumatism
become a constant companion to all who
are victims of this disabling disease.
Much suffering could be avoided if the
first warning pains of Rheumatism were
needed and the proper treatment at once
taken. But the people generally are
not acquainted with the cause of the
disease, though thousands know its tor
tures. Those who use liniments and
ointments cannot understand why they
grow worse each winter, and find them
selves gradually becoming unable to get
around as they once could; yet they
know that their trouble came on at first
as little aches and pains, which hardly
attracted their attention.
Everybody should know more about
rheumatism: they should know that it
is peculiar condition of the blood upon
which all the liniments in the world
can have no effect whatever. The
best blood remedy is needed-one which
is able to go to the very seat of the
disease, and force it out. Swift's Specific
(S.S.S.) is the right remedy for Rheu-
matism, because it is the only blood
remedy free from mercury, potash and
other minerals which intensity the dis
ease, causing stiffness of the joints and
aching of the bones.
