ONE MILLION DOLLARS FOR A
GOOD STOMACH
This Offer Should Be Warning to
Every Man and Woman

The newspapers and medical jour
nails have had much to say relative
to a famous millionaires offer of a
million dollars for a new stomach.
This great multi-nillionaire was
too busy to worry about the condition
of his stomach, He allowed his dys-
pepsia to run from bad to worse un
til in the end it became incurable. His
misfortune should serve as a warning
to others. Every one who suffers
with dyspepsia for a few years will
give everything he OWNS for new
stomach
Dyspepsia is caused by an abnor-
NAL state of the gastric juices. There
is one element missing-Pepsin. The
absence of this destroys the function
of the gastric fluids. They lose their
power to digest food
We are now able to supply the pep
sin in a form almost Identical to that
naturally created by the system when
in normal health, so that it restores
to the gastric juices their digestive
power, and thus makes the stomach
strong and we'll

indigestion and dyspepsia to come 10

noon, and all showed up in good form,
so Captain Manter and Coach Eawson
hope for at least an even break with
the wearers of the green.
The Bowdoin nine, however, will be
weakened by the loss Of Harris from
short stop. for he will be unable to
make the trip with the team because
of his work in the Medical School.
Harris. however. will probably be able
to come to Hanover for one day in or
der to pitch one game, while John
Manter will pitch the other game.
Lawliss will probably play short in
place of Harris.
The following men will probably
make the trip: Wilson c, Manter p,
Clifford Id, Wandtke 2b, Bower 3b.
McDade If, Purngton CT. Pratt IF, Holt
D, and Brooks, substitute.
The Interfraternity Baseball League
is attracting much interest and atten-
ton as each fraternity is represented
by good nine and all the games thus
far have been we'll played A silver
cup will be presented to the fraternity
whose team captures the pennant.

Californian's request and told him he
could not play until. next Monday,

TIPS FOR FANS

Charlie Carr, the Indianapolis mag
nate who pedded "Rube" Marquard to
the Giants for $11 900, seems to have the
hunch in picking up Youngsters. He
uncorkcd a Southern kid named Law
renee Cheney. of Oklahoma the other
day who let down the Columbus team
with two hits. Besides Cheney struck
out dozen batsmcn.
Here is one Stallings pulled off while
in a rage in Newark last season One
of the players made few breaks in
running bases, and while the player
was being run up and down Stallings
said: well, that will cost him $25.
No, think will make it So No, any
player that pulls off anything like that
should be fined hundred. No. don't
think that will do. ! ought to be ar
rested. Now / have it, | will fine my
self 800 for signing him for my ball
club"
Stories printed in the New York pa
pers to the effect that Harry Wolver-
ton, manager of the Indians, would
be sold or ira led to the New York
Americans, have riled Joe McGinnity.
part owner Of the Newark Club, to the
point of madness. The Iron Man" is
hot under the collar and declares that
the stories were circulated to cause
dissension in the team. Says he: "Har-
ry Wolverton is the manager of the
Indians. and he will continue to be
throughout the season. Frank Farrell
hasn't enough money to buy him: he
hasn't a player on his team for whom
would trade Wolverton." Wolverton
was formerly National League star
with Boston and Philadelphia.
Harry McIntire, the tall pitcher of
the Superbas, who has gained an envi-
able reputation as fungo hitter and
an unenviable name as demon weak
ener, is hoping there will be another
field day this season. Handsome Harry
wants to get one more chance to hit
the ball further than Mike Mitchell,
who drove it 413 feet 81 inches in Gin
cinnati two years ago. McIntire was a
great fungo hitter even when he was
in the minor leagues. Outside Of the
Los Angeles grounds there is a thea
tire. Harry was always under the i'm
preston that he could put the ball on
the roof of that Thespian temple. His
fellow players and many fans said he
couldn't, and bet him to this effect.
Mac covered all the bets up to $3.50 and
then smacked the sphere on the roof
the first time.

OF winning the first bicycle Marathon
race held in this country was Frank
l.. Kramer's yesterday. when he cross
ed the finish line in that event about
three quarters of a length in front of
Joe Fogler after an exciting sprint

brought to light strike by a number
of the riders who refused to start in it
unless the management raised the prize
money or put on a consolation race.
j. M. Chapman, the manager of the
track, refused to do this, and as a re-
suit only II men lined the tape for the
big race.
