DETERMINATION
WON FOR KING KAY
The Big Washington Outfieldel
Struck Hard for Job and
Got It.

LYNCHBuRG, VA, February &c.
King ELL" Kay, the tai Washington
outflelder. who startled the baseball
world last fall by his remarkable stick
ing qualities, could tell some interest
ing stories anent his advent into base
ball # he could be pumped by a news
paper man. 1t will be recalled that
Kay was given a brief trial by the
local team IN the exhibition series in
the spring of 1906. but that he was
allowed to go without good look over
on account of more than twenty men
being on the teams roster then.
1t was Kay who went to the Hotel
Carroll at o'clock in the morning,
reused Manager Grim from his dreams,
and struck him forthwith for a job.
The reason Kay did this was because
he came to the city on midnight
train in postal car and 1t is pre-
sumed that he did not have the price
of nights lodging handy. Certainly,
If he did, just out CT the mountains,
Bill did not know how to locate him
self even In small city of $4,000.
This trip of kay's is vouched for by
former railway mail clerk, who in
terested him In endeavorinS to reach
up in baseball, and he offered to bring
him here IL he would try for berth.
This POSTAL clerk had seen Kay play
Ing ball around WEIGH. w. Va, where
the tall one was engaged In stringing
telephone wires for the Bell Company,
and he believed there was something
more than ordinary in the country boy;
hence his interest
1t was this trip--probably his home
run in the LynchburgNew York Amer
lean game off AL orth--that gave him
the discrimination to go on. and 1t is
certain that his brief career here has
caused the local fans to watch his
work with great :nterest-somethinr
they viii continue to do throughout
the coming season.

Richmond College is at last to have
a diamond of its own. 1t has been the
custom to use the Broad street Park,
but this diamond will be taken up so
much of the time by the league and
visiting teams that the Spiders will
have but infrequent chance to make
use of it. This forced upon the minds

GREAT RESULTS AND

Many people here as else

are simply amazed at the results OBJ
tanned from Root Juice. When the
remedy was first introduced TO this
community and so many were being
benefited by a few doses. it was gen.
orally thought that the medicine would
only give temporary relief. but as time
passes and many that were ailing are
no longer complaining but are advis-
ing their sick friends to try Root Juice,
confidence in the great medicine is be-
coming positive. Root Juice makes
so many remarkable cures by removing
a few causes and giving nature a
chance. 1t tones and heals the stom-
ach, bowels. liver and kidneys: 1t Gre
ates a healthy appetite. and by its ton

EVELYN LOOKS

She Has Withdrawn Her Suit
For AnnuIment of Mar
rage.
WANTS A SETTLEMENT.
ATTORNEY O'REllLY SAYS THAT
NO ACTION LOOKING TOWARD
THIS HAS BEEN TAKEN BUT
PROBABLY WILL BE.

New York, May 27.-Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw, through her counsel yesterday
withdrew the suit she had instituted
for the annulment of her marriage to
Harry K. Thaw. The motion for with
drawal was sanctioned by Referee De
yo who had been appointed by the
court to take testimony and the case
was declared discontinued without
costs to either party to the suit. I'M
mediately following the dismissal of
the action, Daniel O'Reilly, personal
counsel for Mrs Thaw, issued a state
ment in which he declared that Mrs.
Thaw had been an unwilling party to
the proceedings from the first. 1t
was only because of pressure on the
rart of her husbands relatives that
she had any part in such proceedings,
said Mr.. O'Reilly, and that she with
her husbands present position de-
mands her loyalty.
Mr.. O'Reilly was quoted as saying
there had been no reconciliation be
tween Harry Thaw and his wife, and
that Mrs. Evelyn Thaw wanted none.
He added that Evelyn thought she had
a right to some financial reCOmpense
for the sacrifice she had made in
Thaw's behalf. Mr. O'Reilly said
some step of that kind might be taken
but he would not indicate what form
the movement would take.
Franklin Bartlett, counsel for Mrs.
William Thaw, made denial tonight
to Lawyer O'Reillys statements that
Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw had made
application for any annulment of
marriage in response to pressure
brought by relatives.

Don't try to make the stomach do what it can't

In indigestion the stomach lining is inflamed
And the undigested food, by becoming hard, irr

So long that irritation is allowed to continue
there is no hope of curing the stomach.
Some find that they can't digest all food. So
they limit themselves to the food that they can
digest.
That means partial starvation. The needs OF
the body call for variety in food. One cannot
diet without starving some part, without losing
some needed nourishment.
Nourishment will do more than anything else
to correct the weakness. 1t is vital that you sup

You may have tried pepsn but pepsin digests

numerous digesters which depend almost solely
on pepsin. They digest but part of the food
