Club. Score 10 to I2

he well known coach from Moutclair
visit Idaho Springs on Friday and Sat
urday of this week for the purpose OF
further instructiug them into the art of
playing scientifically.
The line up of the two teams was as
follows:
HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS.
Margaret Wi hanson. left center
Nav Krout, right center.
Bella Weinberger right forward.
Allie McClelland, left forward.
Maud Bennie, left guard
Rachael Mel Ieod, right guard.
A. B. C. CLUB.
Edmee Davis, right center.
Luella Weinberger, left center.
Honor Plummer, right forward.
Ella Weaver, left forward.
Opal Oxley. left guard.
Gertrude Chinn, right guard
H. N. Wheeler, of the science depart
ment of the high school oficiated as ref
cree, and he demonstrated that he was
thoroughly familiar with the game. His
decisions at all times were fair, and no
partiality was shown. Herman Vein
berger and Walt Moscript were the
judges. The best of feeling prevailed
and roughness was unknown.
The game was played in four ten min
ute quarters, with five minute rests.
The basketball team of the high school
has been invited to be represented at a
meeting of the various teams in the state
which is to be held at the Albany hotel
in Denver on Friday evening of this
week. 1t is the intention of the teams to
be represented to organize state league
at which time schedule will be arranged.
The above move is good one and it
is quite probable that eight or ten teams
will comprise the league.
H. N. Wheeler will be in Denver rep
reesenting the Idaho Springs schools.
This is the first time that such a move
has been made, and there is some talk at
the present time of organizing national
league which will probably be composed
of schools in the western and eastern
states.
The eighth grade team of Central school
has issued challenge to play the second
team of the high school. The challenge
has been accepted, but it is not known
on what date the game will be played

AWFULLY
EASY

1t certainly seems as though basket
ball was going to prove prize winner
when il comes down to pleasing the peo
pie In every portion of the state teams
have been organized and not to be found
tagging the young ladies of Idaho
Springs have demonstrated beyond any
reasonable doubt that there is material
here in a plenty for any number of
teams.
The game last Friday night at the
Trocadero brought forth large crowd.
numbering perhaps IT'S. The old and
young congregated and when the finals
had been played, each and every person
announced themselves as being more
than satisfied with the entertainment
True, the A. B. c. club, which is com-
posed of the young ladies of the city not
attending school, did not have look in,
but then it must be taken into consider
alton that their manager, Walt Moscript
had only had few days in which to in
struct and coach the players. The mem
beIs of the team showed very plainly
that with few days practice, they would
be fully able to cope with the high school
girls.
The high school team-each and every
member-played a fast and scientific
game, and those who had the privilege
of witnessing the contest between our
home girls and the Central City team
some three weeks ago were very much
surprised with the wonderful improve
ment made. The feature of the game
was the team work exhibited. 1t seems
as though the young ladies had been
playing together for years instead of
weeks, because when they secured pos
session of the ball. there was nothing
to it." 1t passed from the hands of one
player to another until Miss Bella Vein
berger would toss it into the basket
Applause greeted the players at every
turn, and to be said to the credit of both
sides, fouling was an almost unknown
feature.
Simply because the score stood I9 to
II in favor of the high school girls, is no
reason why the A. B. c. club should feel
discouraged. They fully realize that
coaching is the most essential thing in
basketball and they announce that they
will go to work with a vim in the hopes
of reclaiming their lost laurels. The
high school girls are brave and announce
that they are more than willing to once
again battle for supremacy. This last
named team will have Sam G. Tracy,

VICTIMS OF THE GRIP
THE DISEASE REPORTED TO BE
EPIDEMIC THIS SPRING.
It's Visitation the Cause Of Much Suffering.
Many Deaths and the Loss of Thousands
Of Dollars in Wages-Quest1ons
Answered

Health reports show that the present
epidemic of grip is the worst that this
country has experienced in many years.
Not only is the disease widely spread
but it is of unusual severity and has
been the cause of much suffering and
many deaths. There is scarcely 4 fac
tory or a workshop which has not been
running short handed on account of the
ravages of grip among its employees and
the loss of wages to workmen on ac-
count Of the disease already amounts to
thousands of dollars.
The questions are often asked wheth-
'er there is any method of home treat
ment for the grip and whether the
after-enects of the disease can be driven
from the system These are answered
by the following statement from Mrs.
Rosina Hart of Eby. Warrick county.
Ind She says: Il had an attack of the
grip three years ago and, when It had
run its course, my health was wrecked.
Ny right lung was almost filed up and
it was only with difficulty that I could
breathe. There was constant tingling
all over my body, my heart would f1ut-
ter and sometimes seemed to stop beat
ing for a moment or two There was
feeling of faintness that came over me
at times and I was so weak that I often
feared I would sink down. Nothing
helped me and continued to grow
worse.
Neuralgia and rheumatism set in
and for two years I suffered agonies.
No medicine gave me any relief until
friend advised me to take Dr.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. did so and
after one box found I was improving.
I continued taking them for a while and
soon was entirely well again. I don't
think I ever had better health than 1
have now and it is all due to DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People"
Mrs. Harris statement speaks for
itself. The medicine that cured her will
cure you. If you have had the grip lose
no time in procuring this wonderful
remedy and cleanse your system of the
germs the disease has left there. DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
are sold by all dealers. or will be sent

chronic complaints which embitter life
are due to stomach disorders which
could Just as we'll be avoided" vNow,
DIR. Smith," interrupted Miss Schuyler,
e know you're going to tell US all just
what to do and that when our stomach be-
gins to trouble US and we have dyspepsia
or what not, we are all to march in line,
one after the other, into your Office and
have our stomach pumped out. No
thank you, tried that when I had dys-
pepsia, heart palpitations and dizzy
spells SO bad 1 thought I'd go mad,
and then when I struck the pump treat
ment I thought I'd go madden! But
fortunately just about that time I saw
something in the paper which made me
stop and think I said, if hundreds of
others can be cured by such simple treat
nent as taking DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery three times day, think
I'll try. I did try, and in two months
was sound and well again-without those
horrid stomach pumps, and then best of
all I wrote to Dr. R Y. Pierce, at Buff
falo, n Y, and asked his advice in my
case, and he told me how to care for
myself how to exercise, diet, etc, and
that didn't cost me a cent. Then
bought his book, the Common Sense
Medical Adviser, and now I know just
exactly how to live to be a hundred in
the shade"
