COBB GOING TO DETROIT

This Week

Detroit, April 21-Tyrus Cobb will
be in Detroit early this week to talk
business with President Navin of the
Detroit American League club. This
was the prediction made tonight by
mutual friends OF the champion bats
man and the baseball magnate who for
several days have been trying hard to
heal the breach of friendship known
TO be existing between the two men.
MIR. Navin declined to discuss the mat
ter today, but it was learned on ex-
cellent authority that Cobb will come
here knowing what salary he can
get for playing ball this season. The
feeling exists in inner baseball circles
here that Cobb, who is now under sus-
pension for refusing to report to the
Detroit club as a result of his salary
dispute, will not have to wait long for
reinstatement after the and Mr.. Navin
come to an agreement

The Athletics this year are the

Bill Schwartz, the Volunteer manage,

from winning the pennant is for their
pitchers to fall down. That infiel
is the greatest in organized baseball
and the outfield one that will compare
favorably with any in the business. Ia
Bender, Plank, Coombs, Brown AMI
Houck, Mack has a great pitching stat
provided all of them live up to their
past reputation and it looks to me as
if the Athletics will romp home with
the flag.
Il never saw team show sucl
finish in spring training as the Ath-
letics did here" the manager contin-
ued, "and would be willing to bet a
months salary that they lead the field.
Their ability is due largely to the good
habits of the men, the large majority
of whom do not touch liquor in any
form, nor tobacco. OF the infielders,
Barry is the only one that smokes,
while the entire quartet doesn't know
what whiskey tastes like. A team

UNFAIR TO THE DRUGGIST
The Old joke About Something Just
as Good" Doesn't Apply to This
Drug Store.

You have probably heard dozens OF
times the old story that drug store
was place to get something just as
good" There is at least one druggist
in the world that you can't say this
about.
1t is certain that an inferior article
will never be substituted for guar
anteed one by Howell-Prather Phar-
macy. Take for instance safe re-
liable remedy for constipation and
liver trouble like DodsoR's Liver Tone.
This harmless vegetable liquid has
proved so satisfactory liver stimulant
and reliever of billiousness, and to en-
tirely take the place of calomel with
out any danger or restriction of habits
or diet, that there are dozens of prep
arations springing up with limitations
of its claims.
But Dodson's Liver Tone is guaran-
teed to do all that is claimed for it,
land if you are not satisfied with 1t
Howell-Prather Pharmacy will hand
lyour money back with smile ANY
lperson going to this store for bottle
of Dodson's Liver Tone will be sure @;

remedy in exchange for his half dol

GATOR IN HER BED,

Teacher in Terror of Intruder, But Her
Attire F0rbids Admittanee OF

South Norwalk Conn, April 81
When Miss Lillian A. Welsh. a school
teacher here, pulled down the covers
of her bed last evening, she found a
frisky young alligator there. One look
was enough. Springing to the top Of
her bureau, she shrieked, Put it
QUIT"
The door of the room was locked and
Miss Welsh had no desire to unlock
il, Nor did she want any member or
the Storey family with which she lives
to come in Even in her excitement
she did not forget that her raiment
consisted of a single light garment
which for the greater part of the time
was far above her ankles.
Under the circumstances her cries
were misunderstood and the fire de-
partment was summoned By the time
the firemen arrived the truth had been
ascertained and Miss Dorothy Smith,
another teacher who owned the alli-
gator, had seized it, and returned 1t to
its cage The alligator was only eight
inches long. 1t had just been sent to
Miss Smith from Florida.
