Otis Case was dangling from an invalid
carriage on its way to the scene.
where's the case?" asked the doctor
dashing down the stairs with his tool
chest under his arm
You're the only Case around here"
answered Policeman Monahan, a friend
of the doctors. "It looked like a job
a few minutes ago. but the lady is all
right now wand she's gone away"
What was the matter with her
asked the doctor, getting just a little
bit peevish over the frivolous manner
Of the crowd.
"she tainted Just as she stepped
from an express" said Monaghan
'sWhen I picked her up noticed that
she was drawn in at the waist like
half a bag of fine cut. After some
women helped her she didn't look like
the same party. She was straight up
and down like an olive bottle!"
And he handed the doctor a hall

St. Paul Park Incident.

AFTER drinking coffee for breakfast
I always felt languid and dull, having
no ambition to get to my morning duties.
Then in about an hour or so a weak
nervous arrangement Of the heart and
stonac would come over me with such
force 1 would frequently have to lie
down.
"At other times I had severe head
aches; stomach finally became affected
and digestion so impaired that 1 had
serious chronic dyspepsia and constipa-
ton. A lady, for many years State
President Of the w. G. T. u, told me
she had been greatly benefited by quit
ting coffee and using Postum Food Cot

asthma. She said it was no cross to
quit coffee when she found she could
have as delicious an article as Pos
tum.
Another lady, who had been troubled
with chronic dyspepsia for years. found
Immediate relief on ceasing coffee and
beginning Postum twice a day. She
was wholly cured Still another friend
told me that Postum Food Coffee was
a God-send to her, her heart trouble
having been relieved after leaving of
coffee and taking on Postum.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Oct. 6.-Hans
Wagner, perhaps the greatest ball play
er who ever stood on spikes, is abso-
lutely heartbroken over the failure of
his team to win the pennant by taking
the last game from Chicago Sunday
afternoon. On reaching his home ae
Carnegie yesterday morning the big
fellow, who now leads the league in
batting for the sixth time, was met by
some friends who sought to console
him.
well, you got something out of it
anyway this year. 1 see you made 202
hits and lead the league again." said
a friend.
"Bosh with those 202 hits and all that
stuff" snapped Wagner. what does
it all amount to when we didn't win
that game yesterday? I would gladly
nave given every worlds record I ever
had or ever hope to have If we could
only have pulled that game out Of the
fire yesterday. 1t would have been the
greatest finish to the greatest race in
the worlds history for us.
81 am awful sorry for Clarke. If
ever there was a man who deserved to
win, it was Fred" continued Wagner.
'That fellow had things awful hard at
times, but he never lost heart and he
kept us all going all the time. The
ground rule hurt at Chicago-hurt lis
more than it did Chicago. There were
four balls dropped in the crowd right
back of Fred Clarke, each going for
two bases when he would otherwise
have caught them all. It's awful. In
going to kill 10000 birds this winter to
try to forget It,"

Cleveland was put out of the run
ming yesterday by getting only an even
break in the double-header with st.
Louis The race is so close that a
double victory would have boosted the
Maps to first place, whereas he loss OF
that one gam forced them down to
third position.
Chicago easily defeated Detroit, 6 to
1. It was Ed Walsh, the former New
ark pitcher, who turned the trick for
the Sox. The victory not only adj
vanced the ~Chicagoans to second place,
but gave them a chance for the cham
pionship. 1t all depends now on the
last game of the season today at the

Ames pitched fine ball during the

allowing only one hit. Having a lead
of eight runs, McGraw deemed it wise
to save some of his regulars. Ames
and Bresnahan were retired and De-
Wore took the place of Donlin in right
field. McGinnity, who relieved Ames,
was bumped pretty hard, but ensa-
tional fielding prevented the wallops
from going as safe hits. The first ball

Newark High School gridiron war
riors are rounding into shape nicely for
their first tilt of the season this Fri
day at Morris Park with the Newton
High School. The Newton boys are a
husky crowd, but Coach Lee Warning
and Captain Walter Edsall expect to
give them a severe trouncing.
The locals have been coached princi-
pally in the rudiments of the game,
and the simpler formations and plays,
but the forward passes and trick plays
have been by no mean neglected, and
it will take a strong team to stop the
High Schools offense this year. The
blue and white are to play the new
game-the p game-this season, and
they will play it for all there Is in it.
The boys were agreably surprised
yesterday afternoon when it was heard
that Frank %Sehopfer, the 210-pound
a~ll-scholastic centre OF 1907, would
again be a candidate for the team.

ward Quinby or Heinrichs and Ia
briskie being his mates on the right
side of thu line, while Magnetic, a 1885,
pound beauty, and Budd, a feather
weight of 175-pounds, will play on the
other side. For right guard Quinby Is
a more aggressive ma han Heinrichs,
but the latter's great punting ability
makes it desirable to give him a berth
on the team.
With Z~abriskie's 1877 pounds of Drawn
