Scores of successful contestants

delighted to find that their H. p.
Nelson checks will be honored at
the Old Reliable House of Eilers.
Many OF them who have known us
for years and have heard from
many sources of the satisfaction
our instruments give and who have
always planned on buying of Eilers
would hesitate long time before
trusting SO important a purchase
to any house less popular than
Eilers. So naturally we have
taken in a good many H. p. Mel
son Prize Checks as part payment
ON such magnificent pianos as
Chickering, Kimball, Haddorff, Les.
ter, Decker. Hobart M. Cable,
Schumann, Smith & Barnes and
even the genuine Pianola Pianos.
The acceptance of these prize
checks" is made possible by this
house only through the cooperation
OF the manufacturers with whom
we deal, and represents in every
case a bona-fide reduction from our
regular established price, and any
one who knows anything about
Eilers knows that our prices are
the lowest in the trade, consistent
with good quality. Our patrons
will find our pianos marked iden-
tcally the same whether it be
Yesterday, today or tomorrow.

IN CITY LEAGUE

The Dodd Clothiers got out Of
the cellar in the race Of the City
league pennant yesterday at Nata-
torium park, winning holly con-
tested game from the Hazelwoods,
s to A. Ray Morrell was there with
the curves, and only allowed the
milkmen two hits. If Dodds men
had not made so many errors, it is
probable the Hazelwoods would
have been shut out.
In the second game, Hillyard, the
top notchers in the City league,
were stung by Vaarney, to 8. By
punching their hits in the fourth
and fifth innings the shirtmakers
scored five runs, cinching the con-
test. The City league season closes
next Sunday. Hillyard won the pen
ant this year. Batteries-First
game, Dodds, Morrell and McCar-
ter; Hazelwoods, Dyer and Marks.
Second game-Varney, Foster and

Brinker landed on the sphere, scor
run in the seventh, saving a shut
out.
In the second game the Indians
knocked holes in the atmosphere
trying to land on a few of Pete
Standridge's curves. The tribe
only secured four hits in this
game, and only got one peek at the
home plate in the first inning,
when Standridge filled the bases
with two walks. Gregg and Bon
ner were doing the slab work for
the tribe in the second spasm, and
although they pitched good ball the
Beavers managed to place their
hits in a safe spot.
