Deafness cannot be cured

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-

unless the inflammation can be taken out

Although Not Announced, Ii

James McAleer will be offered the
management OF the Washington base
ball team for next season and prob
ably for a term of years.
Although the directors Of the Wash
ington club remained in session to-
day from 1 a. m. until long after the
double-header with Detroit had be-
gun. and no official announcement had
was the definite choice 10 succeed Joe
Cantinon, who is now on his third
year as Washington manager
McAleer IS at present manager OF the
St. Louis American League team, which
played here yesterday and left last night
for Philadelphia. lie did not accompany
his men TO Philadelphia, but remained
in Washington, and spent two hours
last night al the home of President
Moves in close conversation. McAleer
admitted this morning that he had been
approached on the subject of handling
the Nationals, but said nothing had
been done.
At a matter OF fact. nothing definite
has been done. McAleer Is the choice
Of the directors, and # Is now a ques-
ton OF settling such details as sa larry
and length Of contract. He has not yet
been released by the St Louis club, nor
has he resigned. bit HIS leaving St
Louis has been known TO be inevitable
for the last two months, and he is free
to accept the Washington proposition.
McAleer is a made Of wide experience
and has had much hard luck with his
teams. Last year II looked for awhile
Ike st. Louis might win the American
League pennant by the aid o. a number
Of stars such as Jimmy Williams. Hobe

boom collapsed when the finish drew
near. This season he has been elini-

Canullon had his friends on the board

him chance TO work out the Young
talent he has gathered, but the opposi-
ton was too strong, and McAIeeT was
the choice after a long list Of managers
