he played out the string after having
his nose broken by pitched ball.
II you recall, we were battling hard
for the pennant in the American
league. The Sox had come from be-
hind, being way down at the end Of
the list up to near the middle of the
season, and they fought their way
straight up to the top. Every one
was worn out and almost exhausted
from the hard work, and they were
fighting US every step Of the way al:
most TO the last day Of the season.
Our pitchers were overHorked, and It
looked as if one beating would ruin
the whole seasons work and put Us
out Of it. We were playing one of
the eastern clubs-I have forgotten
which-and in the eighth inning were

The best remedies for eczema I have

He gave us medicine, but it did no
good. In few days the head was a
solid mass, a running sore. It was
awful, the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him Ito
keep himl from scratching the sore.
His suffering was dreadful. At last we
remembered Cuticura Remedies. We
got q dollar bottle Of Cuticura Resell

a bar Of Cuticura Soap. We gave the
Resolvent as directed, washed the head
with the Cuticura Soap, and applied
the Cuticura Ointment. We had not

never come back again. His head was

GIVE CASH PRIZES
Plays of Merit to Be Re
warded-Big Crowd
Sees Game.

Las Cruces, N. NJ, July 6.-At least
1000 people witnessed the double
header bail game at the Mill park.
The indications OF storm prevented
a few Of the fans from being present
at the first game. but the grandstand
was filled with most enthusiastic
bunch of rooters and the good plays
were well received.
The first game between the Profess
SIGNALS and the Business Men, was only
for six innings, and resulted 10 to Z
in favor of the Professionals
In the second game, between the
Outlaws and the Internationals. the
Outlaws won. 13 to 8. On account Of
three games being played on three
days by the Outlaws the work of the
battery was very strong. and a little
more strength in the field will make
this team hard to beat.
After the abev games the standing

management notified manager Thiery
for Mcfarland that 1t would be called
off unless the trouble was fixed
up. as it would not leave time to get
out the advertising. etc. and besides
the club refused to be dictated TO in
that manner. A time limit was given
the Chicagoans to fix UP matters, but
falling the bout was cancelled as the
club announced il would be.
It is about time that boxers and
their managers learned to attend to

their managers.
MiddIeweiShts Signing Up.
Quite a number OF the prominent
middleweights about the country have
signed contracts to appear at New
Orleans next fall to select a man to
match against Billy Papke for the
worlds championship. Twenty round
bouts can be held at New Orleans and
that is about the right distance for
near championship contests. Papke
has won the middleweight Champion
ship of Great Britain and is therefore
about the nearest TO the worlds title
of any one. He was considered the
next best man to Stanley Ketchel be-
fore the latter was killed and there
fore has a better claim to the honor
than any OF the others. However,
Papke will have to meet the winner
of the elimination bouts II he wants
to get a clear title and that is what
