Sporting News For Local Fans

 While seated one day in gilded cafe, a youth had an idea that he could dig his way into the Poetry league. So after borrowing news paper from man who couldn't pro- tect himself, and reading about the Giants great victory yesterday after two hands were out, the youth put the following across:
 You never know swhs'l Q Preak,e into
 the hallrSf srfaTnes v ef.vs.... c~.,
 The fans are never sure who'll win
 the old ball game. It's hard to tell who'll be there with
 the two base clout
 You never know the winner till the
 last mans out.
 It is stated that Jake StahI will re- join the Boston Red Sox and will play first base for them next season. Stahl married a wealthy giE and is now en- gagged in the banking business in Chi cago, but it is said that Owner Mo- Aleer of the Red Sox offered him chance to buy stock in the club. This stock is regarded as gold mine 90 it is not probable that StabI will accept the offer
 That was a peculiar play in the tenth inning sUfp thes ganetsat fthef Poo . Groundst SesterdAysdE La1ryrw Doyle dashed home on sacrifice fly by Merkle to Murphy, in sliding for the rubber Doyle missed the plate by about eight inches. Catcher Lapp of the Athletics was the only man in position to see the play and he was so busy taking Murphy's throw that he didn't have a chance to observe where Doyles feet were.
 The fans will roast McGraw now for not using Hines Afl3 iAmes1 and Grand all earlier in the series. Marquard and Matty had better records and tc was natural to suppose they would do better in a big series. The only trouble about baseball is that you can't tell how a man is going to pitch until he gets out there and begins to shoot 'em across.

JOHN I. BRUSH UNABLE
 TO SEE WORLDS SERIES
Owner of Giants Forced to Leave for
 Texas By Order of Physician.

Chicago, Oct. 26.-John T.. Brush. owner of the New York Giants, is in Chicago for medical treatment. His condition, according tp pr. w. L.. TallmAn. Is better than was expect ed. Brush said he will stay here for two weeks. go to New York to attend the National League meeting, and then spend the winter in San An tonic, where he was last winter.
 John T. Brush went to Chicago on Tuesday afternoon on the advice of his doctor. In the Imperial Hotel. New York, where Brush lives, it was said yesterday that Brush's health was no worse than usual and that he walked to the train Long an in- valid, he is accustomed to go each fall to San Antonio to pass the win ter, stopping in Chicago to consult his doctor. This fall he delayed his departure on account of the Worlds Series. He left New York in hurry upon peremptory orders from his doc- tor. who said he would not answer for the consequences if Brush stayed any longer.

 New York. Oct. 26-You won't find his name in physician's directory. The great American medical association knows him not. He hasn't even an M. D.'s diploma nor 6 license to prac- tice and there is no graven sign above his door. But when Death stalks in grim and cold, where weeping friends stand around your couch, don't give up hope Take one more chance and send for OLD DOC CRANDALL for as this noted specialist comes in at the door, Death and the undertaken dive out through the window. Only one Of Old Docs pills is needed to send dying man. 10 minutes later into the ring against Jack Johnson for an even money fight.
 At $40 o'clock, yesterday afternoon, they were taking the Giants measure for the shrouds. Silent friends stood by, waiting for the last faint gurgle. And then-somebOdy thought about ii In time and in rushed Old Doc and his pills. That was only 20 hours ago and yet here are the same Giants, to- day, out there fighting for the cham pionship of the world. They absorbed threw off their winding sheets and five minutes later were chasing COombs and Plank up the bleak and barren kopje of defeat.
 In the 9th round, CrandaM stood alone between the Giants and de- feat-between Mack men and world championship, with 30,000 extra pieces of loale on the-side. But CrandaH was enough. aided and abetted by John De- wore and J. Lawrence Doyle. All of which gees to show that you can never tell until, the box scores are there with the complete details. Through eight rounds in the fifth game, the Giants were whipped. Old ring had stopped them with another four base walop. Mathewson and Mar quard had failed. But with Ames had nursed the ashes of championship hope back to a glow. and this hope crimsoned to a flame when Fletcher, Crandall and Devore whaled in the two runs needed to tie the score, Doyle bringing in the winner.
 If McGraw plays a hunch or trails with the dope he will call upon Ames, Crandall or Wiltse, to-day. His stars have drawn their chances and, how ever well they worked, have failed. Crandall and Ames loomed stoutly, yesterday, and Hooks Wiltse is in shape. Ames worked four rounds and Crandall three, so neither is out of gear. The job of making his final pick from this trio is a rough one and he will probably warm up all three before announcing his choice. Of the lot, Red Ames looks to have more than any other, as his sweeping curve had Collins and Baker warping their spines in vain swings, with the rest of the Mackian maulers stalled.
 There were four impr essive features of this battle which. stand apart in home run, which scored three men, in the third, another was Crandall,s

NeU Drink is
In Great Demand

(Times Union, Jacksonville, Fla.
Have you tried the new one
was the question asked by Jack
sOnville's thirsty fatigued, indiges.
tiOn and headache troubled men
and women during last week.
1t was quickly rumored that the
new one was full of zest and pala-
tably different to the usual run of
sweet, stomach disturbing and ha
bit forming beverage. Instead,
when taking Sloat's Vegetable Bit
ters with Setter water (for that is
the name Of the new one), you are
drinking a refreshing, non-harm-
ful undOped, stomach strengthen
ing tonic. Sloat's Vegetable bit
ters is purely vegetable, free from
dope or habit forming drug, and
when taken in Seltzer water is the
ideal thirst reliever; because it re-
freshes without stimulating, re
lieves headache, Indigestion, shop
ping fatigue and nervousness and
is served everywhere in town.
''We had a tremendous run on
Sloat's and Seltzer all last week. y
said "a Bay street soda fountain
man yesterday, and this shows
the Sloat Brothers Company hit
the situation Alright in placing their
und0ped bitters with the fountain
trade. The large number of re-
quests for this new one shows there
are thousands of people who are
tired of the many olas' which lack
medicinal qualities, and in Sloat's
and Seltzer find that pure. non
harmful drink they have been
looking for If my trade is any
criterion, SIoat's and Seltzer is 90
ing to be a winner in every part of
the country where there is a soda
fountain.
The above healthy drink is being
served at the fountains in Fort
pierce and a large number Of peo-
pie are drinking it daily.
