SUPPRESS sCALPERs AT LAST.
Efforts to Close Shops in Colorado
Seems Successful.

Chicago, Oct. 11.=Eforts directed
by the railway ticket protective bu-
reau for suppression of ticket scaIping
in Denver and the state of Colorado,
according to statement just issued
by the bureau in Chicago, are nearing
success. The bureau since its incep-
ton, it is stated, continuously and sys-
tematically has battled with the evil in
this district, and in no section of the
country has such determined, persist
ent. and tenacious opposition been met
with. Although the state and city
were ridden three times of scalpers, it
is stated, they regularly, after brief
periods, have reopened their shops and
renewed their operations
The bureau recently secured the
adoption of an anti-scalping law,
which tentatively held the ticket scalp
ing business throughout the state in
allowance. The scalpers, however, I'M
der a referendum provision, undertook
a petition to defeat the law. An in
vestigation instituted by the bureau
succeeded in disclosing that the petit
ton included the names of several
thousand persons either fictitious or
not entitled to vote, and the petition
was rejected.
cat this writing states the bureau,
conditions are such in both city ana
state that we may reasonably assume,
with enforcement of the legal meas

obstinate and, at times. hopeless con-
test will be decisively and finally con-

shorter Line to Cleveland and to Balti-
more Next Sunday.

Chicago, Oct. 11.-An important cut
off on the New York Central lines Will
be put in operation next Sunday, af-
fording the system a considerable i'm
provement in its position with relation
to the great iron and steel centers OF
Pennsylvania. On October Is the line
of the Lake Erie & Pittsburg will be
open for through traffic, thus furnish
ing the short line between Chicago and
Mahoning and Shenango valley dis
tricts and Pittsburg-
Heretofore the Lake Shore has had
to route business for that territory
east to Ashta bula, Ohio, and thence
southwark. The new route takes
short cut from Cleveland to Youngs-
town, and thus will furnish very
nearly straight line from the west and
put the system in a position to handle
freight between Chicago and the Pitts
burg and youngstown districts on the
most favorable schedules.
This new route will assume even
greater Importance to the New York
Central system in a month or two,
when the Conne1lsville-C Cum berland
line of the Western Maryland is com
pleted. With the opening of this line
the New York Central lines will have
the short line from Chicago to Balti-
more, giving another outlet for bust
ness requiring movement via the port
of Baltimore.

CHRIsTY SEES ATHLETICS WORK.
Studies Batters From Point Behind the
Plate.

New York, Oct LIT was news in
fandom today that Chrsty Mathewson
was away from New York for a day or
two last week on a secret scouting trip
to Shibe Park, the home of the Phila-
delphia team, which he hopes to defeat
for the worlds title. If ''AIatty' hoped
to keep his little expedition a secret, he
was fOiled by two members of the New
York Americans, who recognized him
as he sat in sweater and golf cap in a
grandstand seat directly behind the
plate on Thursday and Friday. Every
Philadelphia that came to bat was
narrowly inspected by the Giants
pitcher. It was evident that he was
making mental notes as to the mems
weak points.
Much of Mathewson's success in the
local series last fall between the New
York Nationals and Americans was at
tributed to his observations on prior
visits to the American league park. He
seemed to have the key to every man
on the team, judging from the way he
puzzled them with his fade-away and
perfectly controlled speed. After the
series was over, he said one day:
IF you know how to tell the differ
ence between the balls fellow can hit
and those he can't hit, you've got his
measure
AS to his inspection of the Philadel-
phia team, his deductions will remain
secret until he pitches against them in
the big SERIES Then it will be made
clear whether he has discovered any
weak points or not If he did, it is
sure thing he will make the most of
them

THE DANGER OF
RHEUMATLSM

The danger of Rheumatism is
In temporizing in the treatment, or
failing to realize the powerful nature
of the trouble. IF the blood is allowed
to remain infected with uric acid,
Rheumatism soon becomes chronic,
and then if rot checked it sometimes
makes complete physical wrecks of
its victims by permanently stiffening
the joints and seriously interfering
with the bodily nerve force. Exter-
nal applications will often Temporal
xily relieve Rheumatic pains, but do
not reach the blood, where the cause
Is located, and to depend entirely
upon such treatment is a very dan
gerous thing to do. S. S. S. cures
Rheumatism by removing every par
ticle of the cause and purifying the
blood. It filters out of the circulation
every trace of the sour, infammatory
matter, coo1s the acid-heated nerves,
causes a natural and healthy nourish-
ment through the. blood to ali
muscles, joints and bones, and per-
fectly cures Rheumatism in all its
forms. S. S. S. does this great work
because it is the greatest of all blood
purifiers, acting directly on the
source of disease. Our special book
on Rheumatism and any medical ad-
vice will sent free to all who write.
S. S. S. is for sale at drug stores.

RICKERr LAST TO LEAVE.
Dale Gear Has Gathered Five Young
sters for Next Year.

Joe Rickert, Kaw manager during the
past season, is the last of the tribe to
leave Topeka and may not go until the
friend of Dale Gear, the new manager
Gear has the job While Joe may have
had aspirations to manage the club
again, he has known for months that
there would be a change and that Geac
was the man, and he didn't whimper
The team got to going bad, was cut
up to save salaries and naturally could
not win very often but Rickert stayed
with his task and fought it out, win
ming a trio of home games as late as
October He wanted a chance to build
up a club and go after the rag next
season but circumstances prevented
and another boss nailed the place. Gear
has been beating the bushes for the
past month trying to scare out some
good looking youngsters and has
bagged five.
There most likely will be a pretty
general cleanout of present players
owned by the club. Tt is certain that
no more sob stories will get by the
owners as was the case last season No
more may good able bodied, thick head
ed players weep over a broken arm
and get away to sell themselves to an
other club. The stock company has
passed by a silent vote to assume the
upper hand and control their club in
stead of leaving it to a motley crowd of
players And the day when the player
names his salary is another thing
which has passed. In fact there are no
more grapes in this pasture.

Washburn Is Outweighed.
The Washburn crowd will be out
weighed and inexperienced Friday
and will be up against some of the
fastest forward pass plays in the state.
Driver is coaching them particularly
on defense for these passes and at the
same time trying to give them good
variety of the same sort of offense-
There is a lack of good end material
to handle the passes, however, and few
of them may be tried
tt is probable the Blue viii rely more
upon end and line plays for at least an
other week as the players have that
class of football in better form. Nc
1ntyre, Smiley and Burkhart behind
the line give the Washburn team a
fast attack on straight football while
some good trick formations give them
open field chances.
Driver is seeking in vain for q long
distance punter and goal kicker En-
mons has shown considerable drop
kicking ability in practice and almost
had a chance in Ottawa. In the last
few minutes, Driver sent him at an
position but a penalty
was called on the down which threw
the team too far away and Emmons
was not called upon to make his try.
Whether he can kick goals in the rush |
of play is a question.
