TIGERS DIDN'T PLAY.
Weather Was Too Cold for Hugh Jen-
nings Cohorts to Take Chances.

The Detroit Tigers sprung a sur
prise on number of the Topeka fans
yesterday by failing to appear at the
diamond and ultimately calling off the
local game. The weather was pretty
cold in the afternoon. Jennings men
were all in good condition, ready to
start the American league champion
snip race next week, and Hughey did
mt want to take any chances of hurt
ing his men. And Cooley was willing,
for he has enough men now laid up
with sore arms.
Instead the Tigers remained in
their rooms at the Hotel Throop and
held tanning bees with the different
admirers and Topeka friends
There would have been some disap-
team player for Tyrus Raymond Cobb,
was not present. Cobb is in good
shape, and secured a few days vaca-
ton in order to go to indianapolis to
meet his wife who is coming from her
Georgia home to meet him in In
dianapolis.
There were, however a number of
well known favorites here including
Beckendorf, Suggs, Works, Jones,
(Elijah) Willitt, Rossman, Schafer,
Bush. Moriarty. Crawford, Mcintyre,
Jennings, Tuthill, Spear and Jackson
Manager Jennings talked pretty
freely of the Tigers and their chances
at the American league bunting. He
has it all doped out that the Detroit
team will prove able to repeat this
year, although he fears Cleveland and
Detroit, his rivals of last season. In
the National league he thinks the Cubs
will have hard fight with the Giants
and would not be surprised to see
McGraw's team cop the flag.
The crafty manager of the Tigers
has promised to come west again next
season. This is his first experience in
the west, having always gone south
heretofore for spring workout. The
men have all rounded into good con-
dition however, and not a sore arm or
sore muscle is reported in the entire
team.
The Yannigans of the Detroit bunch
played in Springfield yesterday and
will go to st. Louis today. The Jen-
nings bunch plays with the Kansas
City team today.

WICHITA WON FROM X. c.
Isbelfs Western Leaguers Hit Oppor-
tunely-Score Z to 5.


Kansas City, April 7.-Accompanied
IDENTIFY from the snowstorm of the
Rocky mountains, the Wichita team of
the Western league drifted into Kan
saS City yesterday and when Umpire
Owens yelled game is called at the
close of the seventh inning of their
battle with the Blues at Association
park in the afternoon the score board
figure of Z to 5. The Blues played
ragged ball in the field, which was the
cause of defeat.
No fair minded individual could
blame anyone for losing that game on
account of the cold weather. At noon
they could play without the aid of a
sweater, but in the afternoon the bulb
in the thermometer at the ball farm
dropped suddenly At the close of ev-
than the preceding round and by the
close of the game every player was
ready to beat it for the stove in the
club house. Their arms were sore,
their fingers numb and when the ball
was not thrown wild someone was in
luck. Several times the pill was jug
gled because of numb fingers.
Wichita used three fingers, of
which Westcott proved to be the most
effective. He pitched three sessions
and allowed three bingles. Bailey was
next and allowed the same number of
hits but had little control and gave
several passes. Shaner pitched the
final inning and was easy pickings.
The score by innings: Z. II +.

Fort Scott, Kan, April AFTER a
layoff of two weeks twenty men have
returned to work in the car depart
ment at the Frisco, and an increase IS
to be made in the working force in the
mechanical department.
A general reduction in the forces was
made about two weeks ago, and the pre-
vailing opinion among the men was
that no additions would be made until
the beginning of the fiscal year, but in
this they were in error. The men who
have returned to work will work eight
hours six days a week

mechanical department was laid off

ment order was received, and little or

since. Much work is on hand for COM

sore on the body will remain
open. No amount Of dressing,
cleansing or disinfecting the ulcer
with salves, lotions, plasters, ETC.,
will ever produce a cure, because
they do not reach the blood.
The proper way, and the
only way, to cure an old sore or
ulcer, is to remove the source
on which it feeds; in other words
cleanse the blood and the place
MUST heal.
The combination of health
full, vegetable ingredients Of
which S. S. S. is composed make
it an especially desirable and
effective remedy. 1t cures sores
and ulcers of every kind by
removing impurities from the
circulation. 1t goes to the very
bottom of the trouble, and so
completely cleanses the blood
that there is no longer any i'm
purity to drain through the place.
Then nature rebuildS all broken
down tissue and causes the place
to fill in with firm, healthy flesh.
S. S. S. removes inherited taints
from the blood also, and prevents
the formation of old sores or an
noying scabs on the face or
other part Of the body, which
frequently come after middle
life is reached. S. S. S. will like
wise remove fever germs and
other malignant impurities so
often left in the system after
spell of sickness, and which are
sometimes the cause ofsores and
ulcers. S. S. S. is perfect
blood-pulifier, and for this reason
is certain cure. Being made
