BY SCORE OF 3 TO OTHE
AMERICANS WIN GAME
A Battle ROYAL Between Pitchers Walsh and Pfe,iste--
Again Responsible for the Vctory-Nationals Out
played Throughout the Entire Game.

Chicago, October 11.-Today's game
between the Chicago teams Of the Ma
tional and American leagues was a
battle royal between pitchers, and the
American league team won. 3 TO 0.
Twenty one batsmen struck ont.
For twelve of these the credit goes to
Walsh. In addition he gave only n
pass, and allowed but two hits, both
in the first inning. Thereafter the
Nationals, until the ninth Inning.
never had any sort or a chance to
score.
According to the official count IS, $50
enthusiasts, encouraged by slightly
warmer weather, were present when
the game began. Pfeister. the left
hand pitcher, went into the box for the
Nationals. His control at first was
good, but by no means perfect. He
quickly %steadied, however, and pitch
ed supcrbly until the sixth inning. It
was here he went to pieces and the
game Was lost. Tannehili. reputed to
be a veal batter, singled down the
third base line. Somewhat discon-
certed Pfrister allowed Walsh to walk
and a moment later hit Hahn in the
nose breaking it. A doctor was called
and O'Neill went to first ror Hahn, and
finished the game for him.
The bases were now full with ma
body out. 4 pandemonium Cf cheers
from American league sylnpathiZerS
broke loose. Pfeister pulled himself
together and there was a sigh Of re-
lief from National league supporters
when Captain Jones fouled out to
King. Isbell, one Of the teams best
batsmen ordinarily, struck out for the
third time. Then came Roha, a sub
s~titute, to bat. It was this light
haired young man whose accidental
presence, by reason Of Davis illness
in Tuesdays game, brought victory to
the Americans. Again today the fate
of the game depended on him, and
again he did not fail. He waited pa
Il ntly for a ball that suited him,
and then swung with all his strength.
The ball bounded like a jack rabbit
down the third base line and under the
benches in left field. Tannehill, Walsh
and O'Neill. crossed the plate, amid
wild cheers and the noise of many
megaphones, while the author Of the
scores stood on third base, receiving
the congratulations of his team mates.
Donohue sent a weak fly 70 Evers, ana
the agony vas over
On their part the Nationals started
out like winners. In the first, Hoff-
man sent a clean single to center.
Sheckard struck out, and then Hoff-
man killed all chances to score by
trying to steal second, where he was
thrown out. The next moment Schultz
doubled to left, but it did no good, for
Chance went out, Isbell to Donohue.

Thereafter till the ninth, the Nation
ais never gave a hint of designs on the
home plate. Walsh held them COM
pletely at his mercy, apparently grow
ing stronger and steadier every inning.
When the game began the Nationals
swung viciously at his offerings, but
before the contest was half over, they
were fishing for the ball, seemingly
trying merely to touch. ANY kind OF
a hit would have looFad good, but
mostly when they did ~ot strike out
they rolled puny grour ,ers to second
or short or were put o. easily.

It took a large force Of policemen
to protect Walsh and Robe from their

FACTS GUARANTEED
Neuralgia and Ansemla are Cured by
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills.

For nearly a generation the people of this country have known Dr. Williams Pink Pills, during which time proof of thousands of cures by this remedy has been published and confirmed and not one person has been harmed i'll the slight est degree by their use. The pills con- tain no opiate, narcotic or stimulant, nor any drug which could injure the most delicate constitution.
 ''For over a year, says Miss Charlotte Van Salisbury, of Castleton, NY, "I suffered from neuralgia and palpitation of the heart. My skin was pale and sal low and I was troubled with dizziness, fainting spells and fits of indigestion. was very nervous and would start at the slightest sound. At times great weak ness would come over me and on one oc- casion my limbs gave way under me and I fell to the sidewalk.
 "Of course was treated by our local physicians and also consulted a noted doctor at Albany, but nothing they gave me seemed to benefit me. One day 1 read ill a newspaper about Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People and l imme- diately gave them 8 trial. l soon felt much better and my color had begun to return. I continued using the pills and by the time I had taken eight boxes I was entirely cured.
 "My sister, Sarah Van Salisbury, suf- fered terribly from anemia. She was pale and thin and we feared that she would become victim of consumption. She tried Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People and ill short time she be- gan to gain in strength and weight. She is now strong and well and we both heartily recommend Dr. Williams Pink Pills to all who are in i'll health"

WANTED MORE SNAKES.
As Means of Bringing Sinners to Re pentance, Minister Saw They
 Were What He Needed.

In rural town in Michigan lived a family named Beaver, noted for their hardihood in all manner of naughti- ness. They were the great torment of the minister's life. Finally one of the boys was bit by a rattlesnake and sent for him. He found the lad greatly scared and very penitent. After some conversation, the reverend gentleman closed the interview by prayer.
 70, Lord," he began, i've thank thee for rattlesnakes. We thank thee that a rattlesnake has bit Jim. Send an other, we pray thee, to bite Tom, and one to bite Joe And, O Lord, send the biggest kind of rattlesnake to bite the old man; for nothing less than rattlesnakes will bring this Beaver family to repentance.
