If Sage were to put in two pitcher.
IN each game, when the one in the
box is getting hit too hard, it might
prove one way of winning. 1t would
1ave done so yesterday.
The change in the intield was made
~ Sage in the hopes of lettering the
,lub. II the experiment does moi
prove advantageous the public should
not be too harsh on Sage. There has
been a clamor to do something, NO
matter what. Re did it. He says he
proposes to do some other things
May be they will pan out better. Let
US hope so.
Your attendance at the game does
not indicate sympathy for the article
of ball we have been having. 1t
shows that you want the game, aud
ire bound to have it at all hazards
Do not do what you have blamed
other towns for doing in the past.
Don't flank. Be game.
After the effort the friends of the
game have made to have the club
properly uniformed, there is no ex-
cuse that Sage can offer for having
any man on the field in the crazy
quilt costume that Hopkins has ap-
peared in for two games. Sage has
II complete new uniforms at his dis
posal, and he can certainly have the
team appear as the public wants it, if
ne can't make it play ball.
1t was another instance of ex-
tremely bad judgment on Sage's part
laauinpr hov in tho hoy
long. The manager should be suffi-
GENTLY familiar with Graham by this
time to detect the first sign of weak
ness and he ready to act promptly.
Graham was invincible up to the sew
enth inning. His pitching to that
stage was as nearly perfect as one
would desire to see, but like many
other left-handed pitchers and some
of the best right-handed ones, too
he has his limit. Sage should have
found this out and should have had
ready to step in on the first
break, without waiting for the end of
the inning. When a man pitches six
innings of the ball that Graham did
, yesterday, it ought not to have taken
a manager long to decide that the
of the cannonading
was the signal that he had delivered
his best goods. .
They are feeling somewhat out of
sorts in Davenport, too. Listen to
the wall of last evenings Democrat;
The temper Of the sudience IS no
cause for wonderment. The team
hat wears the red has been so con-
slant and steady q loser that tSe put
lie has drawn the conclusion that their
past interest and good patronage has
not been appreciated and that the men
Of the team have let small personal
matters work disharmony to the DIS
credit of the town that pays their sal
aries. Davenport likes baseball and
wants to pay for it. All the patrons
Of the game ask of the bows is to get
together and show the same Team
work that characterizes other teams
in the league. If the people that pay
INTO the Davenport grounds were sure
hat the present low percentage was
iue TO hard luck and that the individ-

it is the safest and most effectual pile

Very often two or three boxes have
made a complete cure of chronic cases
that had not yielded to other remedies
for years.
There is scarcely a disease more aSSra-
waiting and obstinate to cure than the
various forms of piles, and it is com
mon practice to use ointments, SalveS
and similar preparations containing dan
gerous poisons to remove the trouble
The Pyramid has superseded all of these
Intellectual remedies and no one suffer

mistake in giving the Pyramid a trial.
