my neighbors about my trouble and
told her I believed coffee hurt me.
Neighbor said she knew lots of people
to whom coffee was poison and she
pleaded with me to quit 1t and give
Postum a trial. I did not take her
advice right away but tried a change
of climate, which did not do me any
good. Then I dropped coffee and took
up Postum.

the crowd.
rounds, did not show much in the way of
tirst-class fistic sport. Jeanette, while
willing at all times, was painfully wild,
and If he lad been a trife ..iore clever
could have finished Ferguson In the first
few rounds.
Ferguson lowered far above the negro
as they confronted each other during the
preliminary powwow with the referee
before the hostilities began. He was
somewhat heavier. too.
It looked at the beginning as though
the fight would create some thrills, FOR
Ferguson kept rather cool in lhe face
of Jeannette's forcing and stood off his
more than willing opponent rather ef-
fectively, but few hard punches took
all the fight out of him and he showed
the white feather so completely that the
crowd showed its contempt for him In
various ways.
Probably never before has Fairmont
crowd seen a fighter signal to his Sec
onds TO give up for him. But this hap
pened last night, and finally when Fersu-
son went down in the eighth round be-
fore it had gone half its length the
handlers took the hint and threw the
towels into the ring. Ferguson. however,
was taking no chances. by the way, and
stayed down until the official count de-
clared him out.

| GALLAGHER IS TOO
STRONGFOR BANKERS
Not a Hit Off Bernie's Delivery
and ParkvieW Wins
Easily.

Before one of the largest crowds of the
series. the Parkview team of the Sub.
urban League forged to the front Of
Glass B, at the Capital City grounds
yesterday, when they decisiyely defeated
the American Security and Trust Com
pany, champions OF the Bankers League
by the score of Q to o.
The honors of the day go to Bernie
Gallagher, the Suburban.tes' crack twirler
who had such weird assortment OF
curves and speed that the Bankers could
not touch him and were let down without
the semblance of a hit. He pitched a
beautiful game and too much credit can
not be given him. Only two men got as
far as third base during the game and
he retired seven on strikes.
When it was announced that "Shag'
Rawlings and Gallagher were to be the
opposing slab artists the crowd looked
for battle royal between them, as their
last game was a . tC , tie. Their ex-
pectations were realized up until the
fourth inning, when "Shag' seemed to
lose his steam, and after that time he
was not very effective.
In the fourth inning ten men faced the
Bankers and hits by three of them, addeo
to two bases on balls and an error, netted
the Suburbanites four tallies. In the
Bankers half Rawlings, the first man up
walked, and then by daring work on the
bases stole second and third He took
too big lead off third, however, and
was nailed by a beautiful throw by Salb.
This was as near as the Trust Company
boys ever got to the plate.
Parkview landed on Rawlings again in
the sixth and got three more, a beautiful
two-bagger by kohler being chiefly re-
sponsible. At the close of this inning.
Howard was sent in to try to stem the
tide, but was not equal to the emergency
and was landed on for three hits one OF
which was B. Gallagher's two-bagger
and three more runs were chased over the
pan.
Gallagher struck out the first two men,
Rawlings and Johnson, who faced him in
the seventh inning, and alter Finney

When Agriculture won from Bethany
yesterday at American League Park the
latter team lost any chance il had to
annex the local amateur championship,
and incidentally Agriculture made 1t
possible for tie with Brentwood as the
latter team plays the Aggies today, and
victory by the farmers will bring the
Suburban Leaguers back on even terms
With them. Then, perhaps. the depart
mental boys will turn the tables on
them last year. In the games last fall
the Agrtcultures needed but one more
game to capture the top honors, and until
the eighth inning were four runs to the
good. Columbi Athletic Club drove over
six runs in the last half of the inning. and
eventually won the post-season cup
Yesterdays contest was a close one, but
Indifferent playing on Agriculture's part
made 1t rather slow. Seven errors of
the players claim they were cleansing
themselves of all error microbes pre-
paratory to taking a fall out of Brent
wood today.
The Aggies got six-run start in the first
two innings. Taylor opened the first by
coaxing pass from Wooden. Bryan beat
out bunt. Doyle sacrificed, Wooden to
Woodward. Priest tripled to left, scoring
Taylor and Bryan. and he scored on a
squeeze play. Murphy bunting along the
f1rst-base line Venneman started the
second with single. Sanders sacrificed
on Taylor's hit to Spaulding. venneman
was caught at third. Shaefrer's error
gave Bryan life. Taylor scoring. Doyle
singled and stole second. Priest again
laid against the ball for triple. scoring
two runners ahead of him. This was
all the Aggies could do until the seventh
when with one down Priest singled and
stole. Newberry's hit sent him over the
plate with the seventh and last run OF
the game.
Bethany's six runs were strung out over
the whole game, but whenever they
threatened to become dangerous. New
berry frightened up and averted trouble.
Priest and Menefee each secured three
hits and the latter twice pilfered second.
Shaeffer reached first every time he faced
Newberry and three times he tailed. One
Of his drives was double.
