RACES
GROWING HOT
Connection Keen in Minors as
Well as in Majors

New York, July 22.-With the close
Of the professional baseball season less
than two months away the pcnnant
races i'm both major and minor leagues
are tightening up in a remarkable
manner when the scores Of associa-
tions are considered as a whole. With
few exceptions here and there the
struggles for first places are far closer
than has been the rule for several
years. If the claim that this is IA poor
financial season in baseball is correct
it is certain that the charge cannot be
laid to one-sided flag races. In the
major leagues at least six clubs have
pcnnant chances. Philadelphia, De-
troit and Washington are all in the
American league race and the first four
clubs In the National organization all
figure az possible winners. The same
situation exists i'm the Federal and IN
ternotional leagues.
The race in the Glass \. orraniza-
tons is also close. The Southern as
ISOLATION pennant struggle is one Of the
most interesting in years, less than
one hundred points separating the first
six clubs. In the Western league,
Denver st. Joseph, Lincoln and Sioux
City are all punched and as the sea-
son does not close until September -
any one OF these clubs may prove the
flag winner. Among the Class +.

New London has a good lead in the
Eastern associations; Dayton in the
Central league; Wilkes-Barre i'm the
New York State league, and Davenport;
in the Throc-I league. In the Texas
league Beaumont, Houston and Waco
are all in the race while Worcester,
Poitldnd, Lawrence and Lynn have a
pcnnant chance in the New England

Of much interest to the baseball fans

U. S. INCOME TAX HITS
NEW LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMP

London. July 22.-I'reddic Welsh has
learned, since his recent defeat of Will

pugilist is not altogether bed of
roses. Since he acquired the title he
has received demand FOR over $1,000
income tax, the assessment being bas-
ed on the assumption that his income
has received a big boost since he be-
came champion. AS Welsh expects to

how much he will have left after he is

TWAS A ROUGH NIGHT
 ON THE COAST, BOYS
Mysterious Mystery Of the Missing
 MT. Nlhan'S Memory.

If someone will please inform Al bert Mihan of Newington how his horses came to be put in Finnegan's $ stable Monday night, how his wagon, came to be in front yard on East street, how several bags of feed came to be lying in East Main and East streets, and where he was, what he was doing and when, he will feel deeply obliged.
 It's a long story. Mihan started out from his home in Newington Mon day night to come to this city to buy some grain. He remembers coming here, all right, and rem embers meet ing several friends and drinking to the ill luck of the Mexicans. Then his mind became a blank.
 Officer Fred Wagner was patrolring East Main street late Monday night when he noticed a wagon ahead pur- suing a wabbly course. He saw sev- eral bags of feed balancing on the tailboard and hurried along to notify the driver of their position. The wagon disappeared, but Officer Wag- ner found bag of feed in the street. He notified Captain Grace and the patrol wagon was sent for the feed. On the return trip the wagon went around by East street and there the horses almost stumbled over another bag of feed that was lying in the roao- way.
 Mihan, slightly the worse for wear, sidled into police headquarters yes- terday afternoon and announced that he had a horseless wagon some place and likewise a couple of wagonless horses in F'innegan's stables. How they got there was more than he could tell But he would like the police to go out and find his wagon, as the folks at home might begin to worry unless he put in an appearance soon He had not the slightest idea where his wagon was, although he strongly suspected it was somewhere this side of the Pacific coast. However, he would not take oath to that either. He admitted having a few quaffs OH Monday night and guessed he had ton much.
 The mystery was solved this morn ing at o'clock when M. B. Helling of 1193 East street telephoned to headquarters that there was an empty wagon containing several bags of meal and two cans of garbage ornamentips his front lawn. He would like to hay g them removed, he said. #
 Mrs. Mihan was communicated with and she said she had seen nothing of her husband since Monday night.

Mayor George A. Quigley made his maiden speech as mayor at this ban quet and thanked the expressmen and their helpers for what they did for him at the caucus and at the election He said he appreciated their efforts in his behalf. When "Tippy' arose to make his speech he did so with all the pomp and ceremony of an eastern potentate.
 In his speech 'Tippy'' paid tribute to Mayor Quigley and the republicans and spoke strongly in favor of law which will prevent boys, and older people, from jumping on the rear of wagons. He stated that last night marked his last appearance in polf- tics, for after that, he said "I want to be a peaceful and lawabiding citi- gen."

All Clogged Up?
Here's Quick Relief
A Simple Remedy to Correct COnsti'
patton Before 1t Becomes
FEai@@ Chronic

Very few people go through life
without some time or other being
troubled with constipation. Thous-
ands iajure themselves by the use
Of strong cathartics, salts, mineral
waters, pills and similar things. They
have temporary value in some cases,
it is true, but the good effect is soon
lost, and the more one takes of them
the less effective they become.
A physic Or purgative is seldom
necessary, and much better and more
permanent results can be obtained by
using scientific remedy like DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. 1t does not
hide behind a high sounding name,
but is what it is represented to be,
a mild laxative medicine 1t is SO
mild that thousands of mothers give
it to tiny infants, and yet it is so COM
pound, and contains such definite in
gradients that it will have equally
good effect when used by person
suffering from the worst chronic con-
stipation. In fact, among the great
est endorsers of Syrup Pepsin are cid
erly people who have suffered for
years and found nothing to benefit
IncW ullIll IHey lOok syrup IopSlH.
1t is fact that millions of families
have DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin con-
stantly in the house, homes like
those of Mr.. H. w. Fenstermaker,
Siegried, Pa, He says he has had
wonderful results from the use of
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, that, in
fact, he has never found remedy so
good, and he is glad to recommend it.

that while they are willing to heal

cannot permit themselves to acquiesce

themselves to be opposed to the move

upon the subject previous to the meet

The matter of permitting the

brought to the attention of the mem
