STANDING OF THE CLUBS.

SkOp0c was WHO as a F1Jl islander
yesterday, but when he cut the plate
with the sphere the Yannegans were
unable to pound it out into safe ter
tory. Skopec can't pitch winning ball
IL he is worked three times week.
That is settled fact. If the right
honorable ''Bumpus" Jones shows up
in his expected form, Johnnys turn
won't come oftener than twice a
week, and in that event he will show
that there is National League material
IN him.
Skopec whitewashed New Castle
Monday, and yesterday he held them
down to two safe hits and no scores
for eight innings, making seventeen
consecutive innings that New Castle
failed to secure a run off his delivery
He found it hard to control the ball,
and at the beginning of the ninth he
was virtually all in. His bad inning
came when it was too late for the
visitors to change a defeat into vic
tory. In the ninth Skopec allowed a
single and double to be made, gave
four bases on balls, and made three
wild pitches. All this resulted in four
runs. The 'Yannegans'' began to hope
for victory, and put Latimer in to bat
for Camp, but "Tacks" was an easy
out. retiring the side.
Tom Turner was On deck with his
heavy stick again, and batted in the
first three runs. 1t was in the third
inning. Meaney and Lyons were pass
ed to first, and Tom Turner lifted the
ball over the ,right-field fence for a
homer. In the next inning Cockman
led off with beautiful drive to centre
that was good for two bases, and
scored on it because Mattress allowed
the ball to get beyond him when it was
fielded in. Rothermel singled, and Rit-
ter sacrificed. Rothermel scored on
Skopec's single, and Skopec scored on
Meaney's out at first and Cargo's error
in handling Lyons infield hit. In the
ninth Skopec scratched, went to sec
ond on Meaney's out at first, and scor-
ed on Lyons two-bagger.
While Skopec was hit safely but four
times. thirteen opposing batsmen went
to first on pure gifts, two hit by the
ball, and eleven bases on balls. When
men were on bases, he was very effec-
tive, however, except in the ninth in
ming. The score:

May be Two Appointed.

Washington, y. c.. Feb. 2O-(Spc-
cial,--Senator pritchard has again seen
the president in behalf of Hon. Frank
Osborne whom he has recommended
for appointment on the Philippine Com
mission. The President is said 10 be
much impressed with Mr. Osborne, and
his appointment is not unlikely. One
thing that complexities matters, however,
is the fact that Judge Taft has recon-
mended Hon. Luke Wright, of Ten
nessee, for a place on the Commission.
1t was reported tonight that the
President will appoint two Southern
Democrats on the Philippine Commits
sion and should this prove correct. Mr..
Osborne will unquestionably be one of
them.

VERY FEW PEOPLE
Are Free From Some Form of Indiges-
ton.

ton.
Very few people are free from some
form of indigestion but scarcely two
will have the same symptoms.
Some suffer most directly after eating
boating from gas in stomach and bow
els, others have heart burn or sour
rsings. still others have palpitation of
heart, headaches sleeplessness, pains in
chest and under shoulder blades, some
have extreme nervousness as in nervous
dyspepsia.
But whatever the symptoms may be,
the cause in all cases of indigestion is
the same, that is, the stomach for some
reason fails TO properly and promptly
digest what is eaten.
This is the whole story OF stomach
troubles in nut shell. The stomach
must have rest and assistance and
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give it both
by supplying those natural digestives
which every weak stomach lacks, owing
to the failure of the peptic glands in
the stomach TO secrete sufficient acid
and pepsin to thoroughly digest and as
simulate the food eaten.
One grain Of the active principle in
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
3 600 grains of meat, eggs or other
wholesome food, and this claim has been
proven by actual experiment which any
one can perform for himself in the fol-
lowing manner: Cut hard boiled egg into
very small pieces, as it would be if
mastioated. place the egg and two or
three of the tablets in a bottle or jar
containing warm water heated to 0S de-
no tar, s,f ha Ix-l ma
keep it at this temperature for three
and one-half hours, at the end of which
time the egg will be AS completely di-
gested as it would have been in the
healthy stomach of hungry boy.
The point of this experiment is that
what Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
do TO the eggs in the bottle it will do TO
the egg or meat in the stomach and
nothing else will rest and invigorate the
stomach so safely and effectually. Even
n little child can take Stuart's Tablets
with safety and benefit If its digestion
is weak and the thousands of cures ac-
complished by their regular daily use
are easily explained when il is under
stood that they are composed of vegeta
bic essences, aseptic pepsin, biastase
and Golden Seal. which mingle with the
food and digest it thoroughly, giving the
over-w orked stomach q chance to recup-
crate.
Dieting never cures dyspepsia, neither
do pills and cathartic medicines, which
simply irritate and inhame the intes-
tines.
When enough food is eaten and
promptly digested there will be no con-
Stipation nor in fact will there be dis
ease of any kind because good digestion
means good health in every organ.
The merit and success of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets are world wide and
they are sold at the moderate price Of
30 cents for fun sized packages in every
drug store in the United States and
Canada as well as in Europe.
For the information Of those interest
ed a little book will be mailed free by
