Fitzgerald VS.. T. S. Boys The Return
Game.

The largest crowd that was ever
upon the Training School grounds
at one time assembled there last
Friday evening to witness the re-
turn game between the T. S. boys
and Fitzgerald. Many of the prin-
cipal business men of the town were
out, and the seats which lined the
school grounds were packed to their
fullest extent. Even after the game
had begun people continued to flock
in at the gates, and the crowd al
ready inside gained in bulk. Every
body was enthusiastic. Some car
ried megaphones' for the purpose of
cheering on to victory their favored
side and others sported gorgeous
school colors which waved and float
ed IN the sunlight joyously.
About 4 o'clock the umpire called
out to 'Play ball" and after a time
the great game began. The first
few innings that the T. S. boys were
at the bat they ran in four or FIVE
scores, but when they had the field
they played bum. The fumbles that
each made seemed to be contagious.
and it wasn't long before the dis
ease had spread. The rest of their
playing was succession of errors.
Fitzgerald soon had the home
team outstrlpped and was running
in score after score. Their dexter
Gus playing won great applause
both in the field and at the bat.
The game came to an end to II in
favor of the boys from Trenton.
The T. S. boys have never before
given such an exhibition of bad
work as they gave Friday. Prac-
tice seems to have. grown foreign
to them. Indeed it can we'll be said
that the main feature of the whole
game that evening was the grand
lack of practice which the T. S. boys
showed. 1t is to be hoped that the
boys will realize the necessity in
the future of putting forth some
effort in order to win game at
anything.

The old fashioned way of dosing a

first pointed out this error. This is
why his prescription-Dr Shoop's Re-
storative is directed entirely to the
cause of these ailments-the weak in
side or controlling nerves. 1t isn't so
difficult, says DIR. Shoop, to strengthen
a weak stomach, heart, or kidneys, if
one goes at it correctly. Each inside
organ has its controlling or inside nerve
When these nerves fail, then those or

truths are leading druggists every
