Why Old People are Especially Liable
to Systemic Catarrh.

When old age comes on, catarrhal dis
eases come also. Systemic catarrh is
almost universal in old people,
This explains why Peruna has become
so indispensable to old people. Peruna
is their safeguard. Peruna is the only
remedy yet devised that meets these
cases exactly.
Such cases cannot be treated locally +;
nothing but an effective systemic rem
edy could cure them. This is exactly
what Peruna is.
II you do not receive prompt and sat
isfactory results from the use of Peruna.

full statement Of your case and he will

National League Clubs Standing.



CLEVELAND. Ohio, June 16-It was the
sensational work of Captain Lajoie's out
felders. rather than Donahue's pitching.
that enabled the Napoleons to beat the
senators by the score of to 0 yesterday.
The playing of Donovan's men was much
better than the score indicates. Bay, Flick
and Lush appeared to be engaged In a con-
test for record-breaking performances, and
drive after drive to the Outfield was gath
cred In by the Cleveland fielders in home
run killing style. Dunkle was hit freely.
and 1t was only the fine fielding Of Selbach
and Stahl that kept the score from being
even more One-s:ded than it was. Discour-
aged by the home teams recent disasters
hundreds of regular patrons stayed at
home and thus missed the best batting and
fielding exhibition on the home grounds this
season. The fireworks were touched off at
the start, when Lush pulled down Cassidy's
screeching liner with one hand. Flick made
a grand catch of Donovan's fly. Moran sin

single and an out gave Cleveland run in

scored twice in the fifth on a base on balls
and hits by Flick. Hickman and Bay. A
fine jumping catch of Schwartz's drive by
Mccormick prevented further trouble. Abb
bolts double and two outs added another
to Clevelands total in the sixth. The last
two runs scored in the eighth on two
bases balls and Lajoie's two-base hit
against the fence. Stahl doubled in the
seventh with two out, but a thrilling rum

made the star fielding play for Washington.
Hickman drove savage liner to center in
the seventh. Jake misjudged 1t three times,
judged it right twice and fell down once.
but finally gathered In the ball away out by
the fence.
The Senators made grand effort in the
eighth. and were only prevented from
breaking in to the run column by pyrotech-
mic fielding. Harry Bay ran all the way to
the fence for Drifts liner. Dunkle singled
over second and then Cassidy drove a liner
to left of which Lush made hair-lifting
catch. Moran singled to right. and great
throw home by Flick retired Dunkle two
feet from the plate. In the ninth Selbach
and Mccormick led off with clean hits, but
Stahl flied to Flick. Bay made another
running-in catch of Clarke'S liner, and
Drills line drive into Lush's hands ended
the game. Tho crowd rooted for the visitors
all through the game and every one Of their
good plays were raptuously applauded.

Fourth Presbyterians Snow Under the
Sixth Team

An errorless game and a streak of bat
ting that did credit to the team that leads
the list was the kind of base ball the
Fourth Presbyterans treated the spectators
to on the Mount Pleasant grounds yester-
day, when they played against the Sixth
Presbyterians, who had an off day and
were easily beaten by the leaders by the
score of 20 to 2.
For the first three innings it looked as
though there might be something doing in
the shape of a close game, but after that
and during the remainder of the game there
was nothing to it but the Fourths, who
landed the SiXth's pitchers all over the
field, some for long-distant and some for
short-dstant hits.
Several new faces were seen on the dia-
mond for the boys from the Sixth yester-
day, and with little team work, and some
of the bad holes that were so well demon
strated to be open yesterday stopped up it
is the hope of the management that they
will give some of the better-playlng teams
a hard rub before the season is over. They
have the material. and there is no reason
that they should not play better ball than
they do.

seems to be made on purpose for him-yes-

JEFF IN BAD SHAPE.
Knee Operated on and He Must Lay On
for q Week

A special from Hardin Springs. Cal. says
at noon yesterday. Jeffries will have to
remain in bed for five or six days At the
expiration of that time he may be able to
continue training.

ing of the battle is greatly worrying the
champion he feels that the impression
will go abroad that he is permanently out

Aside from the knee trouble Jeffries Is in
pretty fine shape. His forced rest put a
good deal of weight on him, but he figures
he can carry this additional beef without
serious interference with his fighting quail

Mrs. Jeffries not present during the
operation. She is greatly distressed over
her husbands condition. While the doctor
was at work she remained in her room
alone. Billy Delaney and big Joe Kennedy,
Jeffries' sparring partners, were present
during the operation.
When the leg of the champion was prop
erly bandaged, Delaney said: 1T is utterly
impossible to say definitely when Jeffries

WOMEN GOLFERS.
Majority of Matches Won Easily at
ApawamiS,

Most of the matches were won rather
easily in the continuation of the women's
metropolitan golf associa ton championship
at Apawamis, near Rye, N. Y, yesterday.
The title holder. Mrs. E. A. Manice of Bal
tusrol, defeated Mrs. E. F. Sanford, the
Essex county expert, by up and to play.
This match carried the gallery, and had 1t
not been for two stymies which Mrs. Manice
laid her opponent, one at the first and the
other al the tenth hole. the contest would
have .;one much further. Mrs. Manice's d.
rection was perfect. her ball rarely being off
the line, and toward the end her putting,
which had been bit ragged at first. greatly
improved. Mrs Sanford, being a trifie off
with her brassey. played with her irons
entirely through the green. and this handi-
capped her on the long holes.
The Eastern Parkway woman, Mrs. L.
H. Polhemus, won her match handily from
Mrs F. D. Lefferts of Englewood, by up
and to play. and incidentally made the
round under 100. Mrs. M. d. Paterson of
Englewood. another favorite in the tourna-
ment, Won handly. and had Mrs. Manice
layed out the bye holes she would have had
no trouble in getting under 100.
