BAD CHARGES AGAINST COBB.
Detroit Outfielder to Be Arrested
Assault With Intent to Kill.

Cleveland. Sept. 8.-A warrant
charging Ty Cobb, right fielder of the
Detroit Americans, with assault with
intent to kill, was sworn out last night
by an attorney for George Stanfield,
night Waterman at the Euclid hotel,
who, it is said, was assaulted by the
ball player in the hotel Saturday.
Stanfield signed the affidavit in his
room at the hotel as it was said he was
too weak to leave his bed. A detec-
tive has gone to Detroit, where Cobb
is now playing, to serve the warrant.
Ty Cobb, the star batsman of the
Detroit American league baseball club.
for whose arrest a warrant was issued
in Cleveland, said that his trouble with
the night Waterman at the Euclid
hotel grew out of an alteration with
the elevator operator. The Waterman
interefered, said Cobb, and the two
grappled. The Waterman, he said,
gouged the ball players eyelid with
his finger nails. When he refused to
take his fingers from Cobb's eyes, the
latter. according to his story, drew a
pocket knife and slashed the back OF
the offending hand. Afterwards, he
said, the Waterman covered him with
a revolver and struck him several
times with billy.

COMING TO AMERICA.
A. w. Gore, English Tennis Champion
to Compete in Philadelphia.

By sending her champion, A. w.
Gore, to play in the preliminary trials
for the Davis cup team at Philadelphia
September IL, England has paid the
United States a compliment, but the
other two members of the team, L. H.
Escombe and A. E. Crawley, are not
as representative of the game of lawn
tennis across the water as followers of
the sport here would have liked. New
ertheless, EScombe may turn out to be
much stronger on the Germantown
courts than expected, just as Parke
did at Longwood last year. ]. G..
Ritchie, who was here last year. went
through the tournament at Wimble-
don, but was defeated by the holder
of the Au-England title, A. w. Gore.
To defend and win the title of ALL
England championship naturally
places Gore as a player of the very
first rank, though he has never been
over brilliancy. He has a very hard
and fine drive which overwhelms his
opponents. He can send them buzzing
down the side lines with extraordinary
force and accuracy. Nothing out of
the ordinary marks his service, but he
can be depended upon to return the
service of his opponent. When he vol
leys there is nothing snowy about his
stroke, but anything shoulder high he
smothers with a round arm sweep be-
hind which there is tremendous force.
But he belongs also to the back court
school. So that the Davis cup matches
at Philadelphia promises to be certain
ly of as great interest as they were last
wear at Longwood and the committee
can be depended upon to pick the
strongest team to send to Australia.

Wichita 4. Sioux City 8.

Sioux City, Ia, Sept. S.-By losing
an eleven inning struggle to the
Wichita team yesterday afternoon the
Packers dropped back into second
place by two points. Sioux City
couldn't bunch hits on Shackleford,
the Wichita busher. and lost. The
score stood 2 to at the end of the
ninth. In the eleventh a hit batter
and three singles gave the visitors
two runs, while the best Sioux City
could do was one run. The batting of
Hughes, Middleton and Pettigrew of
the Wichita team was the feature of
the game. Neither Chabek nor AL
derman could stop the smuggling of
the Witches.

BAD SORE FROM OLD
WOUND.

I want to recommend S. S. s.
to any who are in need of a
blood purifier, and especially as
a medyIfor sores and obstinate
ulcers. In 1887 I had my leg
badly cut on the sharp edge of
barrel, and having on a blue
wooden stocking, the place was
badly poisoned from the dye.
A great sore formed and for
years no one knows what I suf-
fered with the place. I tried,
it seemed to me, everything
had ever heard of but I got no
relief, and I thought I would
have to go through life with an
angry, disoharging sore on my
leg. At last I began the use of
s. s. s., and it was but a short
time until I saw that the place
was improving. I continued 1t
until it removed all the poison
from my blood and made q COM
plete and permanent cure of the
sore. JNO. ELLIS.

OlSCdSC SCTi1S III the system, IS q
common source. These morbid
impurities get into the circulation, and
the blood becomes a polluted, infec-
tious fluid, which instead of noGrish-
ing the fibreS and tissues of the flesh,
irritates and ulcerateS them by con-
tinually discharging its impurities
into the place. Another cause for
bad blood is the retention in the
system Of the refuse and waste
matters of the body. Those mem
bers of the body whose duty it is to
carry off the useless accumulations
become dull and sluggish in their
action and leave their work imper-
fectly done, and this fermenting
matter is absorbed into the circula-
ton. The weakening or polIuting
of this vital fluid may also come as
the results Of some constitutional
disease, especially where mineral
medicines are used for protracted
time, while persons who are born
with any hereditary blood faint are
very apt to be afflicted with old sores.
