BIG EVENT IS THAT
PLANNED ON 18TH.
Field Day Sports Will Delight
Great Host.
Library and Hospital Benefit Planned
Will Draw Great Crowds to the
Baseball Park on Tuesday, OCtO-
Der the 18th.

The athletes of Americus have COM
menced training for the first annual
field day sports which are to be
held at the baseball park on Tues
day, October 1861, for the benefit Of
the Carnegie Library and the Amer!-
Gus Hospital. A field day" is some
thing new in Americus and but few
of cur citizens have had chanGe
to know what a good day of spot
it means.
The varied program which has been
arranged for the afternoon assures
every one of a day that they viii
long remember.
There will be running and hurdle
races, high hand broad jumping race,
Vaulting, sack races, tlIree-legged
races, throwing the weights, tug-of-
war, etc., all of which events Will be
divided among the men and ttiays,
making separate events for each, whialt
will insure CREATES interest and riY-
airy.
Already enough entries have been
received to make necessary several
heats in each event and the Lists
will not close until Monllay, October
18th.
Great interest is being shown ~
the boys of tile High School, land they
promise to put a team in the field
determined to win a majority of tho
places. There are a number OF boys
in the High School who, with "a lit
tie training, will be UP in front at
THE finish and they will all take pact
in the different events.
But these boys will not have things
Iall their own way, aus tie Agricultp-
raj College is sure to send several
entries who are able to hold their
own i'm almost amy athletic event, as
they have already shown what they
can do when they get busy by their
work in the Y. M. c. "a gymnasium
last winter.
The Agricultural boys can be de
pended upon to make a good showing
in most of the events as that is what
they have in view when they enter
a contest, and it will take hard worK
to beat them out.
In addition to teams from these
two institutions, there will be one,
no doubt, from the Y NJ. G. A., and
when these sturdy athletes get started,
others surely have to hustle to keep
aEead of them
The management looks for good
sized entry list from the Y. NJ. c. a.
AMID it is almost sure they win ger
it. There are a Number of good attn
letes III AmerIcus who are not az
tached to any of the aboye mentioned
Institutions and who have signified
their intention to enter.

HANGS A FINE ON
National Baseball Commission
Assesses Chicago Ma
tionals $500.
FOR DECEIvING OTTUMWA
Cub Stars Not Members of Club That
Played Exhibition Game in
the Iowa City.

Cincinnati Ohio, Nov. 23.-Because
brothers of John Evers and Arthur
Holman represented those players
when the Chicago National league club
played at Ottumwa, Iowa, Sept. 9. the
national baseball commissiC2 fined the
Chicago club 5000. The claim of the
Ottumwa management for damages
was disallowed, because the home team
allowed the game to go on and profited
by it.
The commissions findings say in
part:
"The attention of the commission
was called to this case by F. T. Lynch,
president of the Ottumwa club. He
charges that the club and its patrons
were deliberately duped by the Chi
cago National league club and that the
prices of admission on the assurances
that the Chicago club would send the
best lineup that Manager Chance could
muster were fixed at 81 and $1.25 each.
The Chicago club, which was offered
$500 guarantee, with the privilege of
so per cent of the gross receipts, was
paid 81 sos as its part of the receipts.
many lEaNcicu 10 E1t DupcOs
president Lynch says that many
persons travelled over a hundred miles
in the expectation of seeing Chicago's
star players. and that the patrons
were indignant on discovering that the
Chicago club worked many substi-
tutes. 1t also developed that instead
of John Evers and Arthur Holman be-
ing on the field each of these famous
players was impersonated by young
er brother. without even minor league
baseball ability.
No Valid Excuse.
'Tf the Chicago club, as claimed by
President Murphy, was unable to send
a representative team, or team that
was some semblance of its regular
team, the Ottumwa team should have
been so advised and thereby offered
the chance to call off the game or at
least to notify the public, thereby elm
mating the fraudulent features of this
transaction. President Murphy's as
sertion that some of his players were
disabled and others required rest does
not clear his club of the charge of mis-
representation"

CHARMING HAIR.
Every Woman Can Have 1t BY Using
Partisan Sage Guaranteed by the
Harper House Pharmacy.

There is a reason for the phenom-
email sale of Partisan Sage in the
United States since it was first in
troduced into America and the sales
this year are breaking all records.
And the reason is plain to all:
Partisan Sage does just what 1t is
advertised to do.
Ask the Harper House pharmacy
about it and they will tell you that
they rigidly guarantee it to cure
dandTuff, stop falling hair or itching
scalp in two weeks or money back
There is no reason whatever why
any man or woman should fail to
take advantage of the above gener-
Gus offer.
But one thing that has made Pa
risian Sage so famous is it's peculiar
power to turn the harsh, unattractive
hair that many women possess into
luxuriant and radiant hair in a short
time. Women of refinement the
country over are using it and it new
er disappoints.

BIRDS ON PARADE
Annual Show of Tri- City Fan

ENTRIES FROM 1871 CITIES
Nearly Every Standard Strain Known

Exhibition All Week.

The annual show of the Tri-City
POULTRY Fanciers' association opened
yesterday at the Armory, in Davenport.
The show will last until Nov. &c. The
entire week has been given over to
the show and officers of the associa-
ton declared yesterday they were
highly pleased with the outlook for the
success of the show.
Exhibitors from over 13S cities have
entered birds. Fanciers from all over
the middle west and east are repre-
scented. One exhibitor, F. f. Harrison
of Fall River, Mass, sent a pen of sin
gle comb Rhode Island Reds for exhi-
bition.
Nearly every standard strain known
to fanciers is represented at the show
and scores of unusual strains are
shown. Prominent among the latter
are pen of Japanese Sil1ies; a pen
of English pheasants; a dozen Hou-
dams, and a pen of white crested Black
Polish.

Waterloo fans believe they have
good friends high up in baseball who
will see' them through in their fight
to keep a place in the Three-Eye. ac-
cording TO the following in the Wat
erloo Reporter:
Tim Murnane and NJ. H. Sexton,
moving spirits in the National Asso-
citation of Minor Leagues, and mem
bers of the board Of arbitration. are
with Waterloo in it's fight TO stick in
the Three-Eye league. These two great
baseball leaders assured the local rep
.resentatives in Chicago last week that
if Waterloo was voted out Of the
Three-Eye league 10 bring its case be-
fore the national board, and that the
league would be told what it could AMI
what It could not do. This stand by
Messrs Sexton and Murnane greatly
pleased the Waterloo delegates, who
feared that perhaps the soutberners
might be successful in their efforts to
substitute Decatur for this city.
In further discussing the case Muir
name said that had Waterloo not went
into court when ousted from the Cen
trail association this city would have
been allowed TO retain it's franchise in
the class ID" circuit without one cent
of expense. As the Three-Eye attempt
to drop us is for the same identical
reason as was the Central association

ball here next year appear particularly
bright. especially when the power OF
the national board Of arbitration is
