Cubs Have Missed j. King.

Brown was the class" of the argu-
ment. and he won handily. The Cubs.
too, showed as d far superior allround
team to the Pirates. In the opinion of
yours truly, Chicago continues to be
the king of all teams. However. it
was bad business on c. Webb Muir
phys part not to have King on duty
again.
Clever Frank Chance had rounded
up such great machine that the
loss of a single man hurt its even
ness With King behind the bat and
with Brown or Overall or Reulbach
on the firing line. the Cubs, even
though far to the rear of the Pirates,
at this late date in the big grind,
would be given u chance in the spec
ulation in any town in the land re-
eardless of what foe it was bucking.
Clarke too, is directing a dead
swell team. The Pirates, remember
ing that King isn't with Chicago, are
lust as good. probably stronger. than
the cubs. Give Fred Clarke Frank

be the team of the year.

entire 1908 season. Wagner is high for
the Pirates.
Pittsburg and Detroit are well
matched. They are the two supreme
swatting teams of them ALL Pittsburg
stands third to Chicago and Philadel-
phia in fielding. Detroit ranks in
like position. Chicago and Philadelphia
are also the teams that excel the
Tigers.
Viewed from an advance dope
standpoint the Tigers and Pirates are
the proper teams to have it out. FL
nancially about Is per cent of the
money will be made in Pittsburg. De

BY the score Of 10 to 0 the Whit
man college football team defeated the
local high school bunch in the second
practice game Of the season, played
on Ankeny field yesterday afternoon
at 4 O'Clock. In the first half the
high school boys prevented the Mis-
sionaries from scoring, but in the last
hat Borleske was put in, and the
line was crossed twice before the
whistle blew Coach Blanchard tried
out two different teams for the ocl-
lege each being composed partly OF

material The high school team

the game played Monday, and held
the Whitman charges in excellent
manner.
AS for Whitman their work was not
as good as it might have been. This
may be caused by the division of the
teams as team work so essential IN
football was sadly lacking especially
in the first half. There was no scor-
ing in the first half. although at times
Whitman tore through the high school
for long gains. The Whitman backs
did good work in getting around the
ends but in the first half it seemed
that the Missionaries would lose the
ball On tumble at a critical moment,
when in easy scoring distance.
The second half opened with
change in the Missionary line up and
a more experienced backfield. As
result, the scoring machine of the
varsity was put in motion and 1t
seemed that the Missionaries could go

Schafer and Rossman were whirl-

year, though, both men slipped.
Jennings took them out in mid
season and gave them long rests.
When he put them back on duty and
they failed to show the desired and

by slipping them transfers.

Jones Giddy Old Veteran.

Twas the same in the Rossman-
Jones case. The squire played in st.
Louis six years. and he was around %
when he was plucked out of the mi
nors. Ed HanlOn was Managing a ma
tonal league team when he had Jones
working for him in Baltimore
Hanlon permitted jones to get away
for the mere draft price, whereas. he
could have taken him into the Ma
tional league or sold him outright.
But nobody bid for old Tom. For five
springs in a row McAleer tried hard
to get a man to fill Jones' shoes.
Rossman Considered Bettei' Player.

local fans thought that ROSsman

everything. The bugs around the

COMFORTING WORDS.
Many a MarshaIItown Household Will
Find Them So.


To have the pains and aches of a
bad back removed; to be entirely free
from annoying dangerous urinary dis
orders is enough to make any kidney
sufferer grateful. To tell how this
great change can be brought about
will prove comforting words to hun
dreds of Marshalltown readers.
Mrs. S. A. Thompson, sos East State
street, Marshalltown, Iowa, says: MY
husband had been troubled for some
time with backache and kidney weak
ness. He had a constant heavy pain
thru his back and shoulders down to
his hips, which bothered him particu-
1arly when at work. He was also
annoyed by the frequent desire to void
the kidney secretions Recently he saw
Doan's Kidney Pills advertised and he
procured a box at Mcbride & Will
Drug Company's store. The result of
the use OF the first box was so graft
flying that he continued taking them.
He is greatly relieved of the terrible
pains in his back and does not feel so
tired and worn out when he gets thru
work. His kidneys act much more
naturally, and he considers Doan's Kid
ney Pills fine remedy and gladly rec

DRUGGISTS KNOW
BEST COLD CURES
THEY USE THE MOST Sue
OESSFUL THEMSELVES.
Many Druggists Use Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy in Their
Own Families.

Everyone must realize the dangers attend
ing severe cold, and that it is always pru-
dent to remain in doors until the danger is
past. Many, however, do hot feel able to
lose the time and will be interested in know
ing the quickest way to break up a cold and
to avoid the dangerous consequences which
so often follow. Druggists who handle all
kinds of medicines and are familiar with
prescriptions of the best physicians, know
which medicines are the most successful, and
when in need of medicine for their own
use will of course choose the one which is
likely to be the most prompt and most eff
fectual. 1t has been observed that many
druggists use Chamberlain Cough Remed,
themselves and in their families, and take
pleasure in testifying to its good qualities.
