Tor the Senators resulted in a. to 6
draw with Philadelphia. Washington's
| first victory on that occasion was over
New York, May. 3, 9 to 4. Cleveland's
ride down the toboggan slide began
when these same Senators were their
guests in Cleveland. On July 25 the
Maps were beaten. The following day
a doubfe-headerH was played, the cur
tain raiser being to against. and
the second one to 1 in favor of Lar

won game until the Sth. Here is the

Nine of these ten were played on for

the Senators on July 81 being the only
one on the home grounds of the Maps.
A single encounter with Boston on July
28 was lost and then four straight to
New York. Cleveland then returned to
Boston for four more wallopings, the
first break coming in the initial strug
gle of the series with the Athletics,
leaders of the league.

DIDIT

Nevada, Mo-, Aug. 11.-"Double-
headers usually break even" is an old
baseball adage, but it didn't apply here
on Thursday when the Highlanders
put the White Sox under the pump
twice in succession. once in the morn
ing and another time in the afternoon.
Both games were fast, however, and
well played. The first one had a
score of 1 to 0, while to were the
marks on the board for the second
engagement. Olmstead and Hughes
were pitted against each other in the
first game and it was a battle royal
between them. The White Sox got six
hits off the Springfield player pitcher.
while Long Tom allowed a total of
eight. But the Topeka twirler got the
better on strike-outs, laying five
against the ozone against Olmstead's
two. One error was made by each
team. Otherwise the support was gilt
edged.
In the second game the Highlanders
again out hit Topeka. Carter gave
them eleven safe ones, while Sheard's
hopes could garner but eight off Ellis.
Springfield played an errorless game,
while both Abbott and Henry were Of
tenders in the error column. In the
second game Blackburn played first
base and Abbott went to right field.
Lazotte is still out of the game be-
cause of being hit in the head by a
pitched ball.

HEARD AT THE THROOP
Travelling Men Speak in High Praise
OF Topeka.

a group of travelling men at the
Throop last night agreed that Topeka
was one of the most up-to-date cities
in the country. One of them said, 81
can generally tell whether town is
up with the times by noticing the
brand of cigars that is the most pop
ular. If the leading store sells more
Wadsworth Bros Chicos than they do
of any other cigar I put down the resi-
dents of that city as progressive and
up-to-date and DESTROYS of the good
things of life.
''Wadsworth Bros Chicos are sold
in Topeka by Geo. W. Stansfeld. drug
gist, $50 Kansas avenue, and the man
at the cigar case told me that he was
selling twice as many Chicos as of any
other two kinds. This shows that To-
peka smokers want a good Havana
filed cigar that burns freely, is mild
and pleasant and makes an enjoyable
smoke.
Wadsworth Bros Chico is the only
cigar I know of costing less than TWEEN
ty cents that fills the bill. Just see
how fragrant it is he said as he
puffed a lot of smoke over the group.
Chicos sell for but five cents, even
though, as our friend the travelling
man said. sit is the favorite with those
who want the best cigar they can get
for their money"

he has the privilege of renewing it,
and as his team is going to finish high
the chances are that he will hang on
to his job in the Quaker City.
In two months the last game will
be played in the American league.
Chicago is scheduled to play st. Louis
on October 8.
JOSS is likely to lose his supremacy
as pitcher in the American league.
He is sick, and Jesse Tannehill is clos
ing fast on him.
The Washington players say they
are going to get a slice of that bonus
the owners have hung up, which is
theirs if they land out of last place.
Charley Farrell is scouting for the
Boston Americans. Last week he was
at Holyoke, and recommended Third
Baseman Hummel and Pitcher Hart

Cincinnati has tired of Third Base
man Steinfeldt and his careless habits.
The signing of Moriarity, of Toledo,
probably means a change of scenery
and brand of beer for Steiny.
When the Giants forfeited their
game to the Pirates on Saturday they
subjected themselves to a 1000. fine,

Donovan is going to the bad. Bill this
season has not displayed that wonder
full speed which caused him to be
reekoned one of the three best pitch
ers in the country. Instead of dealing
in that terrific inshoot, which made
him feared by all batters, he is de-
pending considerably upon a change
of pace, using a slow ball quite often.
AS a result he is not as effective as
he was and has been pounded severely
upon more than one occasion.
Young Storse of the st. Louis
Browns tapped the ball at a lively rate
in the series between the Browns and
the Highlanders. He came to bat 81
times and made II hits, including
home runs off Chesbro and Powell
and three-baggers off Newton and
Powell Stone is now second to Willie
KeeIer among the American league
batsmen.

number of letters I get from young
PLAYERS, asking me the secret of my
ability to hit the ball." said Lajoie
with a smile. but they come by the
hundred every season. OF course, I
can't pretend to answer them. 1t is
foolish to try to tell a man how to hit
the ball, for the simple reason that
every man has his own style and no
other mans will fit him.

AT THE BUFFALO RACES.
Tverton Won the Free for All TrOt
Over Sweet Marie.

Buffalo, Aug. 11.-Sweet Marie,
2:O4 r., the Mckinney mare, which
took the measure of Tiverton in their
match race in Reading last week, had
the tables turned here effectually in
the free for all trot, the feature event
of the Grand circuit at Kenilworth
park. The Calico Rex stallion took
down first money in two first heats in
ZOOS " and 2:06, the mare getting the
third in 2:06 u, but after the result of
the race had been settled, according to
the three heat plan in operation here.
George G. and Mckinley completed
the quartette which faced the starter
for the event, and in the evening pools
Sweet Marie sold at 5000 with $50 on
Tiverton and $21 on the field. The
mare got away poorly, but was catch
ing Tiverton in the stretch in the first
heat when she broke and finished last
Still Sweet Marie sold favorite, $50 to
$27 on the field, but third to Tiverton
was the best she could do. In the last
heat Mcdonald got her stepping
through the stretch and she over
in whipping finish. This blow was
one of the worst the talent has suf-
fered at the meeting, although liver
ton was supported handsomely.
In the first race, the 2:14 pace
Kruger was a $50 favorite IN pools of
S110 and he won three straight heats
handily. There was little pooling in

was the 2:15 trot and Thorne Boy, a
white gelding by Strong Boy, sold at
S12 in the field in pools of over 800,
stepped right out and took three
straight heats easily. Directum lass,
the favorite at $50 in the pools named,
was on her bad behavior and after
narrowly escaping the distance flag in
the first heat had it swished in her
face after a disastrous break in the
second.
Another large crowd enjoyed the
sport The meeting will be concluded

sacrifice hits turned the scale in their
favor in the earlier contest. Most of
Boston's hits were made with two out,
and Killian's faulty control was hardly
a factor. Kitson's inability to put the ball
over the plate was the most important
factor in the second game. Three of his
bases on balls were converted into runs
and his wild pitch also damaged Detroit S

CATARRH
A UNIVERSAL DISEASE

Catarrh usually begins with cold In
the head, but does not stop there. The
mucous membranes all become infarned
and secrete filthy, unhealthy matter
which is absorbed by the blood and dis
tributed to all parts of the body. The
patient is then continually hawking
and splitting, the nose is stopped up,
the ears have ringing or buzzing noise,
the throat becomes sore, and as the I'M
