cesses which are almost exactly like the
churning OF butter. Is it not apparent

The evil of foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste in the mouth and the foul
breath caused by it, but the corruption of
the pure current OF blood and the dissem-
nation OF disease throughout the body.

makes the sour and foul stomach sweet.

ment. In this way 1t cures blotches,
pimples, eruptions, scrofulous swellings,

best righthanders in the league and
pitched a creditable game. For the
first five innings of the game he held
the locals helpless and whenever a
pinch occasion arrived Mr.. Wright
was right there with the stuff that

sneaked over three runs. Not all the
blame should be attached to him,
however, for some of the support

General Demand

of the Well Informed of the World has

which reach Topeka, and is probably as
high as any in the country, for there
is not a league today but what has a
thrilling race.
The sacrificing of Abbott yesterday
was great. Three times our first base
man was called upon to lay the ball
down and each time was able to turn
the trick. On one occasion an error
allowed him to reach first.
Davis never was much of hitter IN
the early months of the season, but al
ways manages to round to during the
last couple OF months. Red is follow
the way he is pounding the ball of late
is a pleasure to the local fans.
All that is left to the once terrible
Salt Packers is couple Of good infield-
ers. a couple of average outfielders,
fair pitching staff and pair of fair re-
ceivers The Packers will finish sixth
place at the present rate they are trav-
cling.
The Jobbers seem to be having bad
slump. After their brilliant record OF
fifteen straight the Miners took five
out of seven from the Champs and the
Midgets then followed with two out of
three. Should the Tripletts and some
of the other second division teams do
as we'll. the Jobbers would be elimi-
mated from the race.
Larry Milton has signed a brush
league catcher by the name of Tom
Martin who registers from Topeka.
He will be used to help out Harry
Cheek.
After next Sunday, the Oklahoma
City team leaves on a road trip during
which sixteen games will be played
before the Nets again carom around
the Melville ball lot.
The Oklahoma City fans helped out
the ill fated Tripletts with $3.50, $50 of
which was raised at the benefit game
in Oklahoma City Monday. The game
went seven innings and the score stood
to 4. The game in itself was farce.
Cooley has a team that sits on the
bench nearly every day. During the
present series he has had just about
enough men to replace every player
in the game, or to have new pinch
hitter in each inning
The pennant fund still continues to
grow but it needs little more boost
ing at the present time. The team is
now playing for the money and there
isn't q player that will entertain any
thoughts other than winning the PEN
nant. A little bonus at the end of
their seasons work looks good to the
players.
Joplin has secured Jack Bunton
who pitched for the Topeka team last
season. Bunton has been out of con-
dition, having a sore arm for the
greater part of the season and has
been recuperating at his home in
Chillicothe, Mo. Negotiations have
been pending between the Joplin
MANAGEMENT and Bunton for some
time and Jack will probably report to
the Miners within a week. He will

There is not much chance for Long

matter Of Frank Bankers guilt. Had
the writer been present during the

murderer was given as fair a hearing
as ever a mar had. There is just
enough of truth interviewer with Mr..
Warfield's alleged argument to make
his theory sound plausible to one not
conversant with all the facts in the
case. Mr.. Warfeld has evidently drawn
his conclusions in the matter from
Judge Hamer, Warden Beemer and the
guilty man himself. Some of the
statements contained in the article
are sc far from the truth that they
