Sckaefer Deserves Most Credit FOR
Improving the Game.
The fact that very few first class BIZ
llardists have ever been developed Is
one of the strange features OF the
game. VIgnaux, Schaefer and SlossOn
have been champions more than thirty
years, the only others developed dur
ing all this time being Ives, Hoppe and
Sutton, a most remarkable showing, not
to be paralleled In any other branch OF
sport.
or all the experts Schaefer deserves
most credit for the development Of the
game to its present high standard. He
always has been anxious and willing
TO aid In the development OF young
sters, and Ives, Hoppe, Morningstar
and Sutton all were his pupils. The
sponsible for all high runs, however, Is
the invention Of Sutton, and when as a
shortstop he first sprung 1t he Occa-
stoned great surprise.
Schaefer Is the father OF all the rules
under which billiards are played. At
various times he has surmounted by
his inventive genius the many barriers
imposed on experts to decrease their
speed and necessitated the making OF
new restrictions. for the other experts
could all take advantage Of the new
discoveries as soon as they came to
know them, and almost unending runs
were the result.
In a championship contest between
Jake and Ives the latter sat down with
IA to 60, and Schaefer came to bat
with 566 to go. The largest run ever
made up TO that time had been 2SS,
and the Wizard seemed to have but
little show to win. His great inventive
genius came to the rescue. however.
the anchor nurse was discovered, and
Schaefer ran the game out. This was
the only time the anchor nurse was
allowed IN a match game. for Ives aft
er It was discovered could play 1t as
we'll as Schaefer, and as it made the
game too easy it was Immediately
barred.
Incidental to the above game, Frank
White, a we'll known Chicago sport
won a most remarkable bet from Leo
Mayer, the well known bOokmaker. As
Schaefer walked up to the table in the
final inning White turned around to
Mayer, who was making books on the
contest, and said, What are the odds
now, LeoY' Zone hundred to l." said
Mayer. III bet you So" said White.
Done" said Leo. And when the game
was over Leo had to settle with the
wise Mr.. White, who, billiard player
himself. knew that a game was never
over until the last point was made

DOCTOR the mcn WHERE Tine ncm IS.
Don't Dose the Stomach TO Cure fczema and
Other Ska Diseases.

Those afflicted with Eczema, psoria- |
sis. salt rheum, or other skin disease
of similar nature, should never dose
the stomach to rid themselves OF the
terrible itch. They should doctor the
itch where the itch is-cure the skin
through the skin, not through the
stomach.
Eczema and other diseases Of q kin.
bred kind are skin diseases-not blood
diseases. Science has shown that &c
zema Is caused by germs 10 the skin,
and that the disease can be eradicated
only by killing the germs.
DR.. Decatur d. Dennis was one OF
the first physicians to follow the germ
theory In skin diseases. Then he dis
covered that by mixing oil Of winter
green with other soothing agents he
had a liquid prescription which killed
the germs and cured the awful itch,
leaving the skin white and smooth.
Since that time this d. d. d. Pre-
scription has been the standard reme-
dy for skin diseases, just as d. d. D..
soap is the standard high grade skin
soap.
The first few drops Of d. d. D. give
instant relief from the terrible Itch
and from the frightful burning Of the
diseased skin. So reliable Is this d.
d. D. remedy that hundreds Of physi-
clans prescribe 1t. 1t is wash a. thin
as water and as mild and as pure,
which is applied to the diseased por.
ton Of the skin.

Trimble county, Kentucky, writes:

ing 1t to our neighbors and patrons
and after long experience we are
more than ever convinced Of Its won
derfrl merits, Ritter Bros.
i You needn't decide now, but call al
our store and we will show you how
this d. d. D. Prescription gives In
