TAKE SALTS To
FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel Backachy
or have Bladder
trouble

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their
efforts to filter it from the system.
Regular eaters of meat must flush
the kidneys occasionally. You must
relieve them like you relieve your
bowels; removing all the acids, waste
and poison, else you feel a dull mis-
cry in the kidney region, sharp pains
in the back or sick headache, diZzi-
ness, your stomach sours tongue is
coated and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine is cloudy, full of sediment; the
channels often get irritated, obliging
you TO get up two or three times dur
ing the night.
To neutralize these irritating Acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a table,
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast fer few days and your kid
neys will then act fine and bladder dis
orders disappear This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to clean
and stimulate sluggish kidneys and
stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts is
inexpensive; harmless and makes a
delightful effervescent lithia- water
drink which millions of men and
women take now and then. thus
avoiding serious kidney and bladder
diseases.-Advertisem

Tri-State Outlook
Growing Brighter

Assurance that Charles +. Carpenter
will resign as president of the Tri-
State League. at the meeting in Phila-
delphiaa next Tuesday in favor of
George f. GrahanN has developed new
Tri-State spirit in many a good base
ball town of the State. The prospects
for an eight-club circuit are growing
brighter every day.
From Pottsville comes the news that
that city is anxious to get a club there
No baseball club has represented 1t
since the Atlantic League died. With
the allowance of Sunday ball in the
town, Pottsville looks good as the home
of club to some hackers of the
Tri-State. 1t is said the organization
of club at Reading will assure. the
Pottsville club.
Allentown has decided to stay in the
league and financial support was
pledged at a meeting held in that city
last night. There will be a change in
the conduct of affairs, as DR.. A. Fl.
Ballet, president of the club, will re-
sign and Fred j. Lanshe will be elected
to the place. Bill Coughlin, who has
retired as manager, will probably go
to the New York State League to man
age club.> Allentown reports say he
will be succeeded by some playing
manager.
With the Reading and Allentown
clubs well organized and the possi-
bility of a club at Pottsville, and some
talk of one at Easton, the Tri-State
circuit looks like triangle, with easy
jumps along all sides. On one side
will be Easton, Allentown, Reading
and Pottsville; on the other Harris
burg, York, Lancaster and Whining
ton. Altoona and Johnstown, poor
possibilities this season, would make
longer jumps.

GOOD RECORDS MADE
IN CASINO BOWLING
With League Season Half Over,
Many Old Records Are
Shattered

With the season of the Casino
League half over, it looks as if some
records are going to be made by the
leaders among the individual players.
The Orpheum team is making a
strong fight to maintain it's place at
the head of the list. They are strongly
favored by the fans.
Atticks is leading the league at the
present time with the highest total Of
pins, with Thome, Wilson, Battorf and
Barnes following close behind. Barnes,
though handicapped by absence from
two matches, has the highest average
per game with 100. Atticks has 1877;
Thome, $50. and a large number rank
in the 40 class.
High single game honors are at
present held by Atticks who has 256
Gurley is next with 244. Wilson and
Thome each have 237. Atticks is also
leading for, the Balke- Brunswick tro-

MANY CHANGES IN
BASEBALL SCORING
Baseball Writers Approve All But
the Cincinnati Base Hit" in
Referendum Vote

A number of changes will be made
in baseball scoring as the result of the
vote taken by the Baseball Writer'S
Association of America on proposed
changes made by the rules committee
and referred to the members.
Practically every change met with
unanimous approval but the "Cinctn-
natl base hit" This ruling, which
last year was to give a batsman credit
for a hit when play was made to get
a base runner going to a base, but,
being too late. was the bone of con-
tention. On the vote polled 80 mem
bers voted against continuing the rule,
while 26 were in favor of it. Most or
the opposition to the ruling came from
Chicago and New York. Philadelphia
writer's were divided on the question
so were the Hub scribes, while In
other cities in the West the "Cincin-
nati'' was in favor. Jack Ryder, of
the Cincinnati Enquirer, fathered the
rule, but now that the baseball scribes
have come out f1at-footed against it
the pitchers will benefit and the bats
men suffer.
There was quite a difference Of
opinion on the stolen base ruling. 1t
was suggested this year that a base
runner should be given credit for a
stolen base as soon as he made start
to steal base prior to a battery error.
Last year If a man started to steal
and q battery error was committed on
the same play the error was charged
up, but no stolen base. This year the
rules committee suggested giving
credit to the base runner and also
crediting the battery error to whom it
belonged. There was some opposition
to this but not enough to change the
new ruling.
Hereafter a batsman will get credit
for a sacrifice, no matter whether the
fielder catches or drops the ball, as
long as the base runner scores. OF
course. If the fielder drops the ball,
he will get credit for an error, but the
miscue will not rob the batsman of a
sacrifice hit providing, of course, the
base runner scores on the play.
Another new change is that only one
assist will be given any player who
assists, in running down a man be-
tween the bases. no matter how often
ehe handles the ball.
? An error shall also be charged to a
player who prolongs the life of a base
runner. An instance: With Cobb
caught fairly off first on a snap throw
by Bender to McInnis, but Stuffy in
his eagerness to tag Ty drops the ball.
This prolongs Cobb's life, so therefore
McInnis gets credit for an error. Last
year no error was given on such a
play.
