CANCER

Sufferers from this horrible malady
nearly always inherit it no necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor. for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deaaiy
poison may lay dormant in the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life. then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its APP
pearance -or a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part OF the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma-
uently all the poisonous virus must be
Animated from the blood-every vestage
If il driven out. This S. S. S. does, and
8 the only medicine that can reach deep
,eated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced out
Of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.
Cancer begins often in small way, as the
following letter from Mrs. Shirer shows

El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1901-03-16

Charles Irwin. the crack third base
man of last years champions, has re-
turned from Arizona. and announces
that he will remain here all season.
That gives Ell Paso the same infield
she had last year. and the one that was
such a terror to the opposing teams.
Red Sullivan will again hold down the
initial sack. and if Red improves in his
batting as he did last season. he will
be one of the stars of the team. His
arm is in the very best condition it
has ever been. and he is now practicing
catching. so to relieve Charley
Krause. in case of injury to the crack
catcher. Tom Beall will again be seen
at second base. and that insures his
part of the game to be played like a
professional.
Little Johnny Jacoby will hold down
shortstop, and he has improved so
much since last year that his old adj
mirers will hardly recognize the game
that he will put up this season. John
ny is stronger than ever before. and
has improved wonderfully in his bat
ting. to say nothing of the way he
handles the hot grounders that go into
his territory.
Charley Irwin has also improved and
again has his batting eye. which did
so much to land the pennant for Ell
Paso last year. Charley is one of the
fastest infielders ever seen in this part
of the country. and could play in faster
company if he so chose.
Krause will do the backstopping
again this year and there is not "a

led the G. II. team at bat last year. He
loves the game and studies it all the
time. ind by the way he has improved

star. He handles himself well at the

Harry Steinfeldt. the baseball player,
spent Thursday in Ell Paso, WIN old
friends Steinfeldt played in Ell Paso
in 1894 and in 1896 came out here and
went with the local team to Albuquer-
que to play in the tournament. Seven
game were to be played, and Ell fPaso
won the first three with perfect etase.
Albuquerque thought they had Sood
team and bet all kinds of money OH it,
so when FL Paso had won the FIRST
three games, they changed umpires, flor
they had to win and there was no get
ting around it. They won. But THERE
was no glory in winning the way they
did. Steinfeldt. in speaking of fhe
trip last night, said: Yes. Sport NC
Allister and l played with the Ell Paso
team and there was nothing in THIS
section of the woods that could beat BUS
with a square deal. We won the firtst
three games and they changed umpirfs

with a travelling man that we would
win the game. 1t looked like cinch,
but that umpire had the greatest NERVE
OF any man / ever saw. If you did
not make a safe hit yOu were out. That
is. he called everything that went up
strike. and the best thing to do was
to strike at everything that came your
way. Well. they won the game. or,
rather, the umpire won it for them.
and the man with whom l had bet my
money came up and wanted to give me
my money back. / told him no; that
we had lost the game, and the cash was
his. and to have good time on it. He
could not see it in that way. however.
and gave me the money back. The
next day he offered to bet any amount
of money that we could beat Albu-
querque every day in the week with
a fair umpire. The crowd made q
rush at him. thinking he would back
down. but he was game to the core and
told them just what he thought of
them.

FL Paso who would not gladly join a
first-class athletic club. which had a
well-equipped gymnasium in connec-
ton. short time ago several young
men talked about organizing club
and equipping the second floor of the
Natatorium up for a first-class gym
nasium. But it seems that several
older men have discouraged them by
stating that such thing could not be
done; that it has been tried once and
proved failure. What if it had?
That is all the more reason that the
boys should work this one up so that
it could not be failure. Make the
place of interest to the boys. There
are enough young men in Ell Paso who
should belong to the club. and who
would only be too glad to do so if they
had chance to employ an instructor.
Ii they once got started in the right
line, they would under no circum-
stances give the club up and it would
soon be on a sound footing.
The knockers say that the old club
was started under very bright pros
poets. but the thing soon got common
and the interest Jagged until the MEM
bership dropped off so much that it did
not pay to try to keep it up. A we'll
informed business man says it was just
poor management. in that the place
was not made interesting enough for
the members to attend regularly No
better place for the gymnasium could
be had than the Natatorium. and Mr..
Bailey offers to do all that he can to
help starting the thing. With the
plunge. pool and shower baths a man
could go in and after taking an hour
or two of good exercise, take a shower
bath. and then a plunge in the swim
ming pool and feel a thousand times
better. The matter should not be al
lowed to drop. young man who is

needs some recreation and the gym
nasium is the place to get it. Said
machinist employed at the G. H. shops:
Il have been a machinist for ten
years and this is the first place 1 have
ever worked where there was no GYM
nasium. In San Francisco almost all
of the shop boys belonged to some
gymnasium, and after supper they al
most every one went to the gymnasium
and took an hours exercise. ending up
with a shower bath 1t rested them
from their hard work of the day and
kept them in a healthy condition.

high kicking for the edification of the
crowd of admirers who watched him
outside. SHACK" is short and built
from the grouCd up. He is a Sprinter
of no mean ability and. as Red Sulli-
van says. is as quick as a flash.
There will be a game Sunday at 2:3O
in the afternoon to try out the new
players. Anyone wishing to try for
the team is requested to come out at
once and all will be given a chance to
show what they can do. If you can
play ball. don't be a bit backward in
letting the boys know it. for they have
the good of the team at heart and
there is not man but who would glad
ly give up his place to a better man.
There are almost enough candidates
now to make up two teams, and Sun
day they will choose up sides and play
the first game of the season. The
new rules will be used and an after
noon of good. clean sport is sure to be
had by all who attend. There will be
no admission charged, but the larger
the crowd the better the boys can play.
When they have a good crowd out to
see them practice it encourages them
to do their best at all times.
Rogers. who has been ill for some
time. will soon be able to go out and
will go to Corsicana about the first of
the month. where he will play the
coming year. Ahern will likely ac-
company him.
Interest in Bowling Increasing.
short time ago several young men
of the city were talking about organ
iZing a new bowling club. to play
against the two already in existence.
The Herald published an article about
the new club and urged bowlers and all
others interested in the sport to or
ganize a club at once. Nothing more
has been heard of the proposed new
club. but almost every day some one
stops the writer on the street and
asks: What about that new bowling
club?" Bowling is one of the leading
sports of the east and is undoubtedly
one of the greatest of all indoor
sports. 1t not only develops a mans
arms, but all the muscles in his body
are brought into action. and many an
athlete uses bowling as method of
training. The German Bowling club
owns Il couple of fine alleys which can
be rented almost any evening. and it
is to he hoped that the young men who
first talked about organizing the club
VIII again take the matter up. call
meeting and organize a club. The
other two clubs will be glad to have a
tournament at almost any time. and
it would only be question of a very
short time until bowling would be one
of the leading sports of Ell Paso. Don't

district court was instrumental in
forcing Will Sommercamp away
from his family and business at
Weiser long enough for Silver City
friends to say hello to him, if moth
ing more. Mr.. Sommercamp grew
to manhood in this mountain ham
let, commenced business here and
was married here. Ten years ago,
however, he scented the future great
ness of the STAT Weiser land,' and
removed with his family to that city.
The following summer he made us a
brief visit to fix up some business
matters, and hasn't been here since
until he was summoned as q witness

Sommercamp is one of the leading

later, according to Ktchener's report
at the time, after q long night march,

and Erasmus, heavily attacked Ben

fontein, but we're easily driven away.
Whether this WAS the attack which
resulted 90 disastrously or whether

took advantage OF the mist to retreat
is unexplained. Kitchener does not
