MAY Start New League.


There is a good deal of talk con-
corning the starting of Lake and
Porter county baseball league next
year and from the interest which has
been aroused in the national game
there is no doubt but what the project
would prove a huge success. Several
towns in Lake and Porter counties al
ready have good teams and with mater
ial far better and with the interest of
the people conferred on their home team
in winning the supremacy and pennant,
the national game would be given a
good boost in the two counties. Crown
Point. Hammond. East Chicago, Gary,
Hobart, Lowell, Hebron and Valparaiso
are eight towns and cities with good
material for good clubs and capable
of drawing paying crowds, and would
be an ideal combination for the form
ing of a league, and 1t is the present
intention of those having the proposed
project in view. TO sound the baseball
interests in these cities relative to
their club joining the league. Crown
Point fans. for instance. are very en-
thusiastic over the prospect. and had a
league been in existence this year they
would have seen their pets at the TOP
of the ladder and the pennant flying
over the local field. Crown Point has
already signed some players for next
year and from the enthusiasm which
has been displayed by the fans In
swelling the gate receipts a good team
Is assured for the county seat next
year.

Ten Doctors
Said He Would Die

In 1903 we wrote you regard
ing my husband, who was suf-
fering from heart trouble. He
was superanuated by the North
Georgian Conference. Ten doc
tors at different times said he
would die. You advised DR..
Miles Heart Remedy and Re-
storative Nervine; we did as
advised, and improvement was
apparent from the very first. He
recovered and the Conference in
1904 gave him a charge. He
never felt better, although he
has very heavy work and does
a great deal of camp meeting
work. | am so glad we took
your advice and gave him the
medicine, and feel that l ought
to let you know of the wonder
full good results from its use"
MRS. T. S. EDWARDS,
Miner, Ga.
This proves what DR.. Miles
Heart Remedy will do. Get a
bottle from your druggist and
take it according to directions.
1t does not matter whether your
heart is merely weak, or you
have organic trouble, if it does
not benefit you take the empty
bottle to your druggist and get
your money back.
