PLAY NO MORE

Harry Hawke, patrolman and the crack
pitcher OF the West Side police baseball
team. will retire from the game and do
elares hic intention OF playing ball no
more.
j am done with the game" said Harry
to-day although I am just as much in
terested in II as 1 was when a boy. Lut
you know that when a fellow gets no in
years he is not as spry as he was when
a youngster. Besides I made up my mind
10 quit while 1 have a record. and when
the West Side threw it into the East Side
team last season I thought would rest
on my laurels and play no more"
Harry first became prominent in Local
baseball circles when he developed re-
mad bic pitching ability while playing
on ;ic lots in Browntown with the kids ,
Az. he became a member OF the police

THEY WEAR OUT
WITH AGE
Few Persons Know What to do
When the Kidneys Are
Weak and Sick

The great majority Of men and wom-
en- at the age Of so years begin to feel
the first signs Of advancing age in
some form of kidney trouble and blad-
der weakness. Few are entirely free
from that torturous disease. rheuma-
tism, which is not a disease in itself,
but a symptom of deranged function
of the kidneys which have become
clogged and sluggish, failing in their
duty of sitting and straining the poi
sonous waste matter, uric acid, etc,
from the blood, permitting it to re-
main and decompose, settling about
the joints and muscles, causing in
tense pain and suffering.
The bladder, however, causes the
old folks the most annoyance, especial
ly at night and early morning.
A noted authority in a recent article
stated that he has wonderful success
with the old vegetable treat
ment He states: "Of sixteen cases
Of bladder troubles and rheumatism
which have been treated with this
treatment only one very complicated
case failed to fully yield to it's remark
able influence. It is the most harm
less treatment 1 have ever found to
clean the system of rheumatic poi
sons; remove irritation of the bladder
and relieve urinary difficulties of the
old people 1t is a true vitalizing tonic
to the entire kidney and urinary struc-
ture, reinvigorating the entire system"
What he terms odd vegetable treat
ment" consists of the following
simple prescription, the ingredi-
ents which can be obtained from
any good pharmacy at small cost;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce.
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake well in a bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and upon going to bed, also drink
plenty of water.
This prescription, though simple, is
always effective in the diseases and
Affections Of the kidneys and bladder.

pops" PETS TIE
WITH SID'S STARS

Pop" Coward was right when he
observed that there are three first
class polo teams hereabouts. More
than six hundred spectators saw some
polo at Eleventh street rink last night.
Wilmington and the Springs Lea
que teams played to a standstill. with
score Of two goals each. 1t was a
peppery game from beginning to end.
The tobasco bottle was opened from
the very start. In the first rush for
the ball Chandler was cracked on his
lame foot accidentally and Mahaffy
also received a gentle tap ia the face
with the handle of a stick.
There was plenty of rough play,
and frequently the players were spilled
on the floor, so vehement were the
clashes between them in pursuing the
ball. Beatty and Dreamer did several
acrobatic stunts about the centre Of
the floor, as they came together with
no uncertain speed several times.
The game was one of the speediest
ever seen on the floor. At times team
work by both fives shone out bril-
liantly, and at other times there was
a general scramble for the ball, which
surged up and down between one cage
and the other. Beatty shot the first
goal for the Country Rink five, ii
being a drive from the side and half
way down the floor, and really fine
shot. The first goal for Wilmington
was driven in by Chandler and was
also pretty drive. although not for
such distance as was Beattys. The
first half ended with a score of each.
in the second half Dreamer carried
the ball down to the Springs cage and
In A..
first attempt at goal Dreamer had
made during the game, as Captain
Henry kept him playing a center po-
sition entirely.
Beatty shot the second goal for
Country Rink that tied the score
edward captured the ball back of his
own cage, and breaking through the
opposing players he carried 1t clear
down to Wilmington's cage AS
Whitley" Roberts swung around to in
terceDt a supposed shot from edward,
the latter shunted the ball across to
Beatty, who was in front of the cage,
and he drove it in.
Dreamer played a great game at cen
ter for Wilmington, not only sticking
to his position, but handling the ball
we'll in conjunction with Chandler and
Mahaffy. Coward and Beatty were
the stars for the Springs team. But
all the players Of both teams put up
a hard game. Lenderman went in as
sub ror Wilmington several times when
Mahaffy's skate broke. The lineup:
