RES|NOL CURED
 AWFUL P|MPLES
Whole Face Covered, Now Clear.

Brooklyn, N. Y, Oct g, 1912 q was troubled with two or three pimples coming out on my chin. In a week or so my whole face was covered with them. Friends advised me to use diff. ferent lotions and salves. I tried them, but they did me little good, if any. tnally washed the pimples with Res mol Soap and applied Resinol Oint- ment before going to bed. In the morn ing l found the swelling gone down. and the inflammation gone from tho pimples. l tried this treatment for about a week, and found that most of the pimples had disappeared. I kept the treatment up for about a month. and then my face was clear of all pimples. l have used Resinol Soap since and find that the pimples do not come back" (Signed) Walter A Stenstrum. 54 Willoughby Ave.
 If you are suffering from itching burning skin troubles, pimples. black heads, dandruff. stubborn sores or piles, it will cost you nothing to try Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap. Just send to Dept. PAX, Resinol, Bal tlmore, Md. for free sample of each. Every druggist sells Resinol.

If there was ever any intention Of
trading Roger Bresnahan to Brook
Ign, the idea went glinmering yes
terday when Archer was struck on
the finger by foul tip in the eighth
inning and forced to retire from the
game. The injury was painful and
the crack backstop viii probably be
out OF the game for a week.
In the meantime, Bresnahan will
do the receiving. There is no other
catcher Of class to sub for Archer.
Day Dream Dav, the Demon Dopist,
had slipped US a lot Of stuff about
how fast Tom Needham was and
what a fine mess of catching he
could do if necessary. Tom had no
chance to work behind the plate yes
terday, but he did have an opportun-
ity to catch after he took Saier's
place at first base when the latter
had been shunted aside for a pinch
hitter.
Daubert popped a fly in the tenth
toward first base. Needham galloped
around in a circle, finally missing
connections with the ball by foot.

Federal League to Offer Job to
Roger Bresnahan.

The Federal League is getting
chesty and is preparing to fight the
big league magnates with their own
weapons. - ..-
According to President Powers of
the new league, the st. Louis and
Chicago National League clubs have
been tampering with players of the
Chicago Feds, and it is alleged efforts
were made to land Pitcher MCGUIRE
and OutfieIder Kavanaugh.
In retaliation, the Feds will offer
Roger Bresnahan, the Cub catcher,
the management of the proposed To-
ledo team at a big salary. Bresna-
han, however, is not likely to go. He
is getting a good salary now and has
a three-year contract
The plan shows the foxiness of
the Federal hackers. It was origi-
naIly planned to put two more teams
in the field next year. Owing to the
success Of the baby circuit, the pro-
moters decided the expansion could
not come too soon, especially as the
fans of Toledo are dissatisfied with
the punk showing of their team in
the American Association, and the
way the stars are grabbed by the
Cleveland Maps, President Somers of
the Maps owning both franchises.
One other American Association city
will be taken in.
Toledo is Bresnahan's home town,
and it is a cinch he would be a good
drawing card and carry a Federal
League team there to success.
The Fed promoters have framed a
swell plot. It is not likely to go
through, but it should stop major
magnates fooling with Fed players.
Steve KetcheI of Chicago won on
a foul in the sixth round from Phil
Knight in Lewiston, Mont, yester-
day. Knight had been frequently
warned against striking low. The
