suggested that as the umpires are the
men who are paid for their work they
might be given more power and asked
to do little more as their share. With
full rosters of teams published from
time to time and definite set Of regu-
lations published as to what shall be
done, the umpireS might zee that the
rules were carried out rather than let
the matters drag out for protest. The
umpires might also make written re-
ports from time to time and come in
before the commission to settle many
of the difficulties which have arisen.
1t Is possible that the commission will
make three divisions of teams for the
post season series which will in all
probability be outlined somewhat in the
Kramer following:
Class A-Americar Security, Columbia
League; Cornell Company, Capital
City League; Postoffice; Departmental
League, and Pepco, Independence
League.

PEPCO SURE OF
PENNANTHONORS
Southlands Win Over LofAer Makes Result of the Fight
In the independence League All But Certainty.
Lofler Defeated.

Pepco is practically assured of first
place honors in the Independence
League today by virtue of its victory
over the National A. c. team yester-
day, and the fact that Loffler, its
nearest rival, was defeated by South
land in yesterdays double-header at
the league grounds.
There Is a slim chance that Pepco'
can be deprived of the pennant. If the
team loses its three remaining games
and Loffler wins its three contests, the
pennant honors would be tied up on
August >16, the last day of the schedule.
Pepco and Loffler meet once more this
season, that game being scheduled for
August IA.
Today Pepco and Southland mix. it
up. and the result will be watched with
interest. Loffler was beaten yesterday.
and the pennant chance went glimmer-
ing. In the first game Pepco defeated
National by IA to 3, making runaway
game of it. Southland hung 1t on the
Loffler team in the second part Of the
double-header by 5-to-4 count.
Tom Crooks former first sacker of
the Nationals. and manager of the
Bridgeport Comm team, is welcoming
Walter Herrell today to his pitching
corps. Herrell recently returned from
the Johnson City team, in the Appa-
lachien League, where he pitched in the
early part of the year. Herrell was
oioSSo iot a IL Sout Win Tic ISdtlOudiS,
but has caught on with Tom Crooks.
He carries with him the best wishes Of
his many friends, who are looking for
ward to seeing him make good.
Station, Slong considered the joke Of
the Y. M. c. A. Railroad League, came
to life after losing twenty-five straight

spite the fact that 1t has never been a

indication that the gap can be closed a

 The beautiful new railroad station now nearing completion, the new freight house and freight yard, the fine approaches to the station, the substantial concrete and iron bridges, and the elimination of almost danger teas grade crossing, all costing large &una of money. will make Westerly the most thoroughly equipped and up- to-date town in the United States as regards railroad facilities. All this work has been well done regardless of cost. In dealing with the town council the railroad has been gener- ous to fault, giving much land for needed highway improvement, For those who can remember the days before Mr. Mel1en assumed the presi- dency, great Improvements are noticed in every direction.

I have been practising medicine since 1885,. Most of that time I have been using Pe-ru-na as my principal remedy. So many unexpected recov- cries have been made by those for whom I have prescribed Pe-ru-na that it would take large book to contain them all. They keep coming up to my mind one by one. Whether on my farm, or at home, whether playing with my grandchildren or conducting my large office business, these incl dents of old-time Pe-ru-na cures stead in upon my memory unawares.

 After a hasty examination of the case I prescribed Peru ma to be taken every hour, and if she was not better in the morning to let me know.
 It was two weeks before I again band entered my office, radiant with joy, and, not waiting for the usual salutations, exclaimed:
 Doctor, my wife is we'll"
 "Oh, no. yoou mean she is better" l replied. But the enthusiastic hus- band insisted that his wife was well and the heartiest eater at the table,
 The fact was that. while she had made astonishing improvements she was obliged to continue the use of Pe-ru-na many months. In less than a year she was entirely well, and has remained so since, and her treatment from the beginning to the end was Fe-ru-na and nothing else. To have seen her at the time of the first visit 1t would have been impossible to be- lieve that any medicine or other earthly power could have saved her.
 This case is nc more unusual or astonishing than a great many others that my list contains, not only of dis eases of the lungs, but of all mucous surfaces.
 Cases of dyspepsia, diarrhea and dysentery which have withstood all other treatment, have yielded at once by the use of Pe-ru-na.
 Numerous cases of Brights disease of the kidneys, acute eatarrh and rheumatism, female diseases, that had been treated locally for years, were instantly relieved and finally recov- cred by Pe-Fu-na. In short, every disease affecting any mucous mem bfane of the body that has not already gone ReyeF6 all earthly help, fre- quehtiy makes astonishing recovery.

this terrible disease frequent consul tations were held, but nothing checked the steady progress of her malady. Not a doubt had existed in the minds of her physicians or friends as to the nature of her disease, nor as to its fatal termination. The re- peated examinations of her lungs in dicated the rapid strides with which she was nearing the end
 Her physicians were honored mem bers of the medical fraternity, in whom Mrs. Eberlein's husband and family had perfect confidence. And the sorrow with which they listened to their decision that theY had ex- hausted everything known to them in vain for the. relief of the wife and mother of the afflicted household can be better imagined than described. As is common to this sort of patients. Mrs. Eberlein continued hopeful long after her attendants believed her to be beyond cure.
 Pittsburg, and 8 fancy that would be able to relieve her was, during her illness, repeatedly expressed by Mrs. Eberlein but it was regarded as the merest whin: and, as they were em- ploying the. best medical talent the city afforded, no attention was paid to it. At last she became so weak and emaciated that an attendant was constantly at hand to lift her during the terrible coughing spells to which she was subject and which were fre- duentfy followed by alarming sinking | spells, during which she was often thought to be dying.
