An immense crowd-29.265 paid adj

Leach's sensational catch Of ter

seventh inning. saved the game. Leach
was playing deep for Cobb, but this
drive went almost to the centerfield
stand. and It was only after hard
backward run the diminutiye star was
able to make the thrilling catch.
Both George Mullin and Charles
Adams pitched admirably, and Mullin
allowed only FIVE hits, while the Pitts
burg youngster was hit safely SIX
times. Adams was unsteady In the
opening round when he gave two bases
on balls and allowed two hits. After
that he steadied and Detroit was not
able TO get more than one hit In an
inning.
Great Interest In Cobb and Wagner.
The presence OF the leading batter

OF both men was closely watched. as
many bets have been made as to which

How to Cure Constipation Permanently.
Constipated men. women and children
who go around troubled for two or

Such people are rare.

Cerena is a remarkable food remedy
that contains no drugs. and yet that
cures permanently constipation, indiges-
tion. fermentation, dyspepsia and bill
knock. Why?
Because Cerena consists of selected
cereals, combined by a remarkable
scientific process, with the essences of
juicy fruits and vegetables, combina-
ton which no case of constipation or
stomach trouble can withstand.
Cerena is. besides, an intense nutri-
ment, a delicious food, and is liked by
old and young.
Quit your pills and cathartics. Forget
you ever had tight bowels.
Serve Cerena to the whole family.
They'll relish il. You'll notice the diff

will grow sharper and indigestion will
