THE FREE CHURCH.
Cardinal Gibbons Attributes Progress
 of Roman Catholicism in America.

Rome, Aug 17.-In an interview Saturday on the progress of Catholi- cism in America Cardinal Gibbons said it was mainly due to the separa- tion of state and church.
 "The clergy" he added, Ifs in spired by sincere devotion and piety. The government leaves us free, and even watches with satisfaction our work, knowing that our efforts are always inspired by a desire to pre- serve order and respect the laws. The government thus interprets the sentiments of the people, who con- sider religion the basis of social morality and prosperity"
 When questioned as to whether he had ever alluded in the presence of the pope and others to the reported engagement of the Duke of the Abruzzi and Miss Katherine Elkins, the cardinal said he had not done so.
 Cardinal Gibbons left Rome for Brunnen, Switzerland, at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, accompanied by Mgr O'Connell.

He got the ball on a throw from the
catcher, tagged the man going for third
and In a twinkling had the man who
had been on second within a few feet
of the base. HIS other double happened
when there were three on base and
none out. The manner in which he
evaded the nan running from first to
second who was trying to block his
throw, was worthy Of a professional
player.
Flick Luyster let down for q while in

STRONGEST
LINE Up WILL
FACE NEW YORK
All Ex-Giants Anxious to Put
Old Leader Out of
Race.

The Giants are not out Of the woods
as yet by a long way. Boston will be
every whit as relentless as was Billy
Murray's horde in the recon series
with the Quakers. There Is an added
incentive to stir the Doves or to re-
newed effort in mocking the Giants at
the eleventh hour. Bad blood between
the two teams has been in evidence
all year.
The Boston team will today line up
stronger than 1t has In the past fort
night. All the former Giants will be
out to fight to the death against their
former leader and team mates. Browne
will be again In the outfield, Bower
man behind the bat and Dahlen at
short. Mccain will play at first base
and Hanifan at second. Moreover, Fer
guson has requested and has been given
permission to work in one game against
his once friends, now hated rivals.
Tuckey, Kelly's phenomenal left-hand-
er, will be sent in against the Giants
in all probability this afternoon.

Tigers, of Vailsburg, Hold City
League Club to a
Tie.
BY EDWARD P. DUFFY.

There were several good games OF
baseball played on the local lots yes

est game of them all was the Tiger
Lincoln struggle. These little fellows
from the suburbs certainly played a
great game Kid Kurfess was the king
of the game. He pitched a mastery
game and, all things considered, should
have won it. Poor headwork and bad
playing Oh the part of Van Zant In
right field were responsible for W OF
the runs that the Older players got.
The score of So showed the. kind OF
game it was. In the last half of the
ninth, the Lincolns had two men on
base with only one out. This made
the situation look mighty bal for Kid
Kurfess but like a little major he got
to work and prevented his opponents
from scoring. In the previous innins
his two-sacker to right field put him
on second and Van Zant as II to atone
for his errors stung one past McHugh
on first which won the game.
A nice piece of headwork on the part
of Speary on two occasions saved the
day for the Lincolns. When a man
was run up between home and third he

PITCHER FROM MINES
TIES UP LEAGUE RACE,

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 6.-Harry
C~ovaleski, the giant left-hand pitcher
Of the Phillies, who got into baseball
limelight by his victories over the
Giants in the closing games, was orig
inally a coal miner 1t Shamokin.
Strong and rugged, he gained consider
abel fame among the miners In Schuyl-
kill county for his skill with the ball,
and finally attracted the attention of
the hackers of the team at Wildwood,
Pa, who secured him.
Covaleski pitched for Wildwood for
two seasons, when he was secured by
the Phillies in September, 1907. In the
closing games last year Covaleski,
while demonstrating that he had speed,
seemed unable to control 1t, and was
so raw and amateurish in his fielding,
that Manager Murray sent him this
year to Lancaster Tri-State League
team to have some of the rough edges
worn off by experience. Covaleski
pitched good ball for Lancaster and
was mainly responsible for the teams

lungs are entirely filled; now with your
closed hand tap vigorously at the ex-
IRENE ends of your lungs. Tap for
thirty seconds, holding the breath and
completing the circuit around your

this: The tapping, stirred up the bad

had been there heaven knows how long,
your respiration being superficial. The
lungs need frequent cleansing. and only
exercise can expel the foul air and
bring pure, clean air in it's place.
