BALL DOPE
Sunday the Fast Eveleth
Team Here
WintOn VS.. Eveleth on the
Ely Grounds

Sunday next the Eveleth team
which has been trimming up some
of the teams on the Mesaba will
be here and try conclusions on the
Ely grounds. By all odds this will
be game worth seeing and prob
ably will be the last one of the sea
son. The Winton boys have won
the majority of games played and
have gone up against some good
ones.
The lineup for Winton will be
as follows and it is expected that
this is the strongest team ever got
ten together on the Vermilion
range:
Martin, IS; Gianotti, Sd; LaBeau,
1st; Burns, End; Seraphine, IF. & p;
P. Byers, If; Welshons, CT; Tolen,
c; Brownlee, p. & IF.
Cook will do the twirling for Ev-
eleth. Cook has a reputation as
some pitcher but it is confidently
expected that the above team will
do just little hitting.
Last Sunday morning the Fire
Department boys went to Winton
for a game. Things run along
quite smoothly, both sides putting
up fair game until the eighth in
ming when a decision by Umpire
jerks on questionable hit near
the foul line precipitated a wrangle
and the Ely boys walked off the
field on score of 7 to 5 in favor of
Winton. Matt Martin did the
pitching for Ely and West for Win
ton. Both pitchers did good work
At 2:3O in the afternoon the two
teams lined up on the Ely grounds
and by all who witnessed the game
was pronounced one of the best of
the season. Seraphine was on the
mound for Ely and his work was
gilt edged. Brownlee of Gilbert
occupied the box for Winton and
as usual, pitched good ball, al
though the Ely boys got to him on
several ticklish occasions.
Both pitchers had most excellent
support and while quite a number
of errors were recorded, none of
them were expensive. Gianotti
was injured in the third inning and
his place was taken by Harrio on
third while Cox went to short.
West who played on the bench for
Winton relieved Wilcox in right
garden in the fifth inning. The
features of Sunday afternoon S
game was the long hit over the
fence by H. Byers, the umpiring
of Guy Woodland, the pitching of
Seraphine and the playing of Har-
rio.
The score by innings was as fol-
lows:
Ely 90 2 0 90 2 x-4
Winton - 0 0 2 0 90 l O-3
The score by innings in the
morning game at Winton was:
Winton --- 2 0OO 3 0 Is
Ely--- 90 0 3 90 2 O-5
The season now closing has been
good one insofar as all games
were concerned and base ball en-
thusiasm has received an impetus
that BODIES good for coming seasons.
The larger part of the games were
clean exhibitions and enjoyed by
those who attended. The Ely
team is composed of all home
boys and their playing goes far to
show that high priced outsiders

ANOTHER IMPORTANT VICTORY
FOR THE CARTER MEDICINE
COMPANY IN THE UNITED
STATES COURT.

The United States Circuit Court for
the Southern District of New York
sitting in New York City-has just
awarded to the Carter Medicine Com
pany decree which again sustains
the company's exclusive right to use
the red package for liver pills.
By the terms of the decree, It is,
among other things:
Adjudged that the Carter Medicine
Company is the owner of the sole and
exclusive right to the use of red col
ored wrappers and labels upon said
small, round packages of liver pills Of
the style described in the bill of COM
plant; said right having been ac-
quired by the prior adoption of said
style and color of package for liver
pills by the complainant predecessors
more than thirty years ago, and es-
tablished by the continuous and ex-
elusive use of the same in constantly
increasing quantities by said prede-
cessors and by the complainant the
Carter Medicine Company, itself, from
the time of their said adoption until
the present day.
The decision Just announced Is per.
haps the most important and far-reach-
ing of all, by reason of the character
OF the tribunal which rendered it. No
Court in the country stands higher.

The injurious action of Coffee on the

of the trouble. She writes:
my heart was so weak it could not

I would never breathe again.
