At 4 o'clock the Washburn-Baker
football game will be called on Wash
burn field. The late hour was decided
upon to accommodate the business men
anxious to see the contest and who can
hardly leave business to see Saturday
games. In fact this is the business
mans game of the season. The time
set also will place the battle in the
cool of the evening and assure a good
one.
Already the teams are ready in the
gymnasium to go out to the field ana

Coach Stewart and Coach Shearer are
confident of victory but the crowd IS
nervous and uncertain. Baker brought

PURELY VEGETABLE
THE ONE SAFE BLOOD REMEDY

1t is a generally recognized fact
that medicines taken from the botan-
ica1 kingdom are better adapted to
the delicate human system, and safer
in every way than those composed of
strong mineral mixtures. Among
the very best and safest of vegetable
preparations is S. S. S., blood med
cine made entirely of roots, herbs and
barks, in such combination as to
make it the greatest of all blood puri-
fers and the finest of all tonics.
S. S. S. does not contain the least
particle of mineral in any form, and
is an absolutely safe medicine for any
one to use. While purifying the
blood, this great vegetable remedy
builds up every portion of the system
S. S. S. cures Rheumatism, Catarrh,
Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases,
Scrofu1a, Constitutional Blood Dis
eases, and all impurities and morbid
conditions of the circulation. 1t is
perfectly reliable and safe for children;
and little ones who have been weak
ened with scrofulous affections or
other inherited blood troubles, can
take this mild vegetable remedy with
good results and without the slightest
danger. S. S. S. is unequal1ed as a
tonic it invigorates every portion of
the system, and the healthy blood it
creates largely assists in overcoming
any arrangement of the stomach
and digestive system. If you need a
blood medicine you could do no better
than to take S. S. S. It has been IN
use for more than forty years and is
still recognized as the best. Book on
the blood free to all who write.

EvERs MAY NEVER PLAY AGAIN
His Broken Foot Worst Surgeons Have
Ever Seen.

Chicago, Oct. Johnny Evers, the
Chicago Nationals crack second base
man, had his leg reset yesterday at
the West Side hospital.
A number of his teammates were To-
Gated in the gallery of the operating
room and watched the setting of the
broken bone, and when DR.. Davis, who
conducted the operation, declared that
it was one of the worst breaks he ever
saw in any mans leg they all left the
hospital with the idea that Evers might
never get well enough to come back
and play baseball.
For 48 hours at least EverS will have
to lie with his leg elevated at an angle
of 45 degrees. Before he can move the
injured member the plaster cast in
which 1t is set will have to harden.
Some unforeseen accident might occur
between now and the time of healing,
and such a thing is possible. according
to DIR. Davis and his assistants. He
acknowledges that the break in E,vers'
foot is the most complicated he ever
had to deal with, and, while the physi-
clans feel certain that they will be able
to turn him out in good shape. six
chances in ten are against the speedy
second baseman-
