JackSon'S Purchase Makes
Total of $94, 500 Spent

All the fans now know that Joe"
Jackson the hard hitting right fielder
of the Cleveland Indians, and one of
the greatest sluggers in baseball to-
day. has been sold to Charles A. Com
iskey, owner of the Chicago White
Sox. The price paid for jackson is
reported to have been S25, 1000.
Last year Comiskey realized that
his team was the backbone of or
ganized baseball as far as Chicago
was concerned, and that the fight he
would be able 10 make against the
Federal League in the Windy City
would have a pronounced influence
throughout the Middle Western terri
tory To win the American League
pennant naturally would be the
strongest card he could play, and so
he started out with the deliberate in
tention Of making his team the very
strongest in the Johnson organiza-
tion, II the expenditure of money
would do the trick. First he pur-
chased Eddie" Collins, the Athletics
star second sacker, for $4,000. and
then he bought Felsch. his hard hit
ting centre fielder. from the Mil
waukee club of the American Asso-
citation.
The former had been part OF
Macks famous 100000 inheld. and
the latter was one of the greatest
sluggers in the largest minor league
in the West. Later he added to his
list OF stars by purchasing Eddie
Murphy, who for some years had
played a splendid outfield game for
the Philadelphia Americans. and for
whom he paid 100000 When Harry
Leibold. the Cleveland outfelder. was
placed on the market. he obtained him
at the waiver price. s1,50O, though he

Special to THE EVENING,JOURNAL.
NIIDDLETOWN, Del, Aug 24.-The
Third Ward Democratic Club lost to the
local boys here Saturday by the score Of
IA to 3.
"Buddie" Walker is beginning to look
like another Ty Cobb. He captured
three two-baggers and three singles out
of seven times to bat.
"Chick" Ellison gives many thanks to
the school house for holding his long fly
long enough to allow him to make home
and letting two men in.
Johnnie" wants to get his spit ball
under better control.
doc" caught an elegant game. But
with the stick he was not there. He
merely touched the ball once, and that
was a scratch foul. But we should

.Dall" struck out twenty-one men and
only allowed two scratch hits.
Manager Stevenson had his regular
broad smile on wnen the local boys
stepped in the lead.
Culver, better known as "Dall," was
there with the sticN, too. he getting one
three -bagger and two singles.
Some of the Democratic boys are still
swinging at some of "DalPs" wide ones.
Culver will pitch against the Wilets
boys Saturday week.
Jack Price. the old timer, showed up
we'll as a pinch hitter for the locals.
Benny" sure did get some nice wal
lops in the fifth

time.

ase! Some pitcher, and don't

Gene Chase! Some pitcher, and don't
you forget it.
1t was Chase's first appearance on the
mound in years.
Even Austin failed to find him, and
if Chase had gotten proper support the
score would have been different.
Chase can play any place on the team
and is surely a live wire without insu-
lation.
stirlith gave an openhanded welcome
to fifteen chances.
Doherty got ratified when he saw
Chase twirling and punched his errors.
Gertsenberg put up the real article

stick work as we'll as Ramey.
Elkton hogged it from Elk Mills and
took the two games.
Jesse Mckay made his debut as a Del
Mar League umpire. He was right
there with the goods. Jess is some UNI
pire, and has the eye and voice with a
determination that he knows no one
pitcher, batter or anyone.
That may Clay is a classy pitcher. Al
he needs is proper support.
Elk Mills has a staff of good pitchers

Frank Baker will sign a contract to
play with the Newark Federals before
the end of the week. unless some un-
looked for hitch occurs.
Baker will sign for three years and
will get a yearly salary close to
100000 Baker has a contract with
Athletics at the present time which
has two years still to run and which
calls for about $4,000 annually. Or
ganized baseball insists that Bakers
contract with the Athletics is of the
iron-clad nature. but the Federals will
put Baker into the game Immediately
after he signs a contract, and will take
a chance on the courts.

New Castle win all the games and set
tie the pennant with the last two, the
double-header between the steel mills
town and Kirkwood Park playerss
Ingram and Hagan met in SATURDAYS
matinee. The wind nd dust interfered
with both.
Cobb missed his train and AIcDevitt
sent Pedrick behind the bat. Elmer IS
all there at the receiving end. He has
a good arm, knows how TO talk to his
pitcher and can use the timber.
When it comes to lacing the leather.
George Madden is right there. George
is fond of music and he delights to hear
his bat swat the ball. Then Just watch
him cover space.
Gallagher covers lot of ground in the
outer garden. He made a wonderful
throw in the game on Saturday.
Say, fellers, did you hear Lucas tell
Hance to stop rocking the boat? Then
Jim had to join the the bench beauties
just for being sassy"
The dust in White Clay Creek hun
dred on Saturday was such that Ingram
and Hagan could not appear at their
best
Now then the whole shooting match
has to play New Castle and Parkside.
Pennant or no pennant, New Castle
players are going to be genuine sports.
McDevitt says that the race is never
lost until it is won.
Do not count your chickens, because
there Is new disease among them-the
Timber neck" Let every man play ball
and give the fans the worth of their
money.
Sam Connell says New Castle is on
the home stretch and the first opponent
will be Elk Mills. Gallagher will be on
the mound on Saturday when Elk
Mills plays at New Castle.
The last two games of the season will
be between Parkside and New Castle.
Connell says New Castle has walloped
Parkside every time and will turn the
| trick again.
Mayhart is some fellow on a team.
Last Saturday, when Csrlin stopped a
red hot one, Nayhart sent it to first and
| got his man.
The Wilson brothers are promising
pitchers. and like Ingram, Wise and
Hsgan. will be in evidence next year.
Gallagher has been letting Ingram send
the schrapnels lately, but next Saturday
he expects to be on the firing line.

TAKE A GLASS OF SALTS
WHEN BLADDER BOTHERS
Harmless to Flush Kidneys and Neu-
traIize Irritating Acids-spIendid
for the System.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder,
where it often remains to irritate and
infame, causing a burning, scalding
sensation, or setting up an irritation
at the neck of the bladder, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night. The sufferer is in
constant dread, the water passes
sometimes with scalding sensation
and is very profuse; again, there is
difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
it, because they can't control urina-
ton. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will neu-
tralize the acids in the urine so it no
longer is a source of irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs which then
act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes no
bad effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, efferves-
cent lithia-water drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trouble.-Adv.

SENATORS ARE GAME

it and is willing again to stand it. If
all the opponents Of the ship purchase
bill physically were Gallingers the ad-
vocates of the measure would have
nothing to hammer against from now
until March 4 but REINFORCED con-
crete wall.
In days when something big is at
stake the senators give over all en-
ticing social engagements. The din
ner at the home of the cabinet off,
Ger is foregone; the reception at the
Army and Navy club goes begging
for senator guests; the Geographic
society lecture, one of the most po-
tent attractions of the Washington
winter, shows dwindled attendance.
The capitol is the scene Of action and
no senator must desert it.
When some senatorial opponent of
the measure under consideration is
talking relevantly or irrelevantly to
the subject the other senators wander
into the cloak room to smoke, or
down to the restaurant to drink dubi-
Gus milk or eat doubtful doughnuts.
They make it a point never to go be-
yond earshot of the warning bell
which announces mo quorum" or the
approach of vote
One learns from the senate gallery
that age can stand much when it is
strengthened by the spirit of bitter
antagonisms. Words are drawled out,
but, speak slow or fast, the senator
who holds the floor is the senator
who holds the fort against the enemy.

Night Sessions Test Old Mem
bers' Endurance.
Bitter Antagonisms Conquer Age and
Lend Strength to Participants In
Ship Purchase Bill Debate in
Senate Chamber.
By EDWARD 3. CLARK.

(Staff Correspondent Western Newspaper
Union.)
Washington.-Nigh sessions of the
senate which, paradoxically, are the
order of the day, are tests of the en-
durance of the aged participants. The
senate at night is study of deep in
terest, though one pities while he
studies.
There is no gamer bird than the
old bird" said the man in the gal
lery, whom the dignity of the sena-
torial garb did not halt from compar-
ing an aged one to a cock in the pit.
Senator Jacob j. Gallinger of New
Hampshire, seventy-eight years old,
was then in the last round of his
seven hours speech against the ship
purchase bill.
On an average the senators of to-
day are younger than those of a day
not long gone by, but age still rules
and the word senate still holds its
significance. Gallinger is seventy
eight years old and there are other
men in the chamber who are older
Then again there are younger men
whose physical stamina cannot COM
pare with that of the veteran physi-
clan Of New Hampshire.
Lodge is much younger man than
Gallinger, and so is Root, but neither
of them, to go back to the cockpit,
could stand the gaff as Gallinger stood

Plan to End Session May 20.

we can bring this legislative ses-
sion to a close by May 20. or by June
l, at the longest, if the members viii
get rid Of the notion that we must ad-
journ every Thursday until Tuesday
noon. If that notion prevails through
out the session well be here until Oc-
tober l. possibly until snow flies"
That is the way Assemblyman Axel
Johnson expressed himself when
asked whether a reasonably short ses-
sion is possible
The prospect is fair that a great
mass Of bills will be before Us. The
greater proportion of these must go
to three committees, finance. judiciary
or state affairs. These committees, if
they give these measures reasonable
constellation, must be faithful and con-
sistent in their attention to them at
least four days every week"
Mr. Johnson said that the people Of
Wisconsin are watching the present
legislature as they have not watched
one for many years.
They are not only watchful to see
what to do, but they want to know
how We do it, and how long it takes
us. Every day the legislature is in
session adds to the burden Of taxa
ton, and if we are wasteful OF time
and careless Of our obligations they
will know it and we will hear of it.
Mr.. Johnson said, too, that there
should be no petty strife between SEN
ate and assembly. THE assembly has
its work, and knows how best to do
it." he said. THE senate knows what
the conditions are that affect its work
and should direct its action accord
ingly.

Uses for PAPER Yarn.

Paper yarn is new, yet Is begin
ming to be heard from in many textile
lines. Some kinds are almost as stout
as ordinary textiles and are made to
withstand laundering. For paper I'M
derclothing, however, a cheap grade
OF paper yarn would be satisfactory,
yarn having only a small proportion of
the tensile strength of cotton or linen.
AS each garment would be burned aft
er it had become soiled, there would
be no occasion to use yarn adapted for
hard wear At the same time il would
easily be possible to make up paper
yarns that would be as smooth and
absorbent as cotton or linen.
Underclothes woven from such yarn
would be as comfortable as could be
desired. The hygienist estimated that
the low cost of such a paper garment,
with the complete saving of laundering
costs, ought to make the use of paper
clothes for one wearing not an ex-
traYagance.

LAW CODE 1000 YEARS OLD
Acts on Babylonian Tablet Provided
for siopement and for Injury to
Women.

New Haven, Gonna Babylonian
tablet, believed to have been buried
in the earth more than four thousand
years and containing the earliest law
code, recently has been unearthed, and
is now in possession of Yale uniVer-
sity. The tablet is heavily encrusted
but part of it has been cleaned and
deciphered.
The laws are written in the Sumer-
ian language, the language of South
ern Babylonia, prior to its conquest
by the Semites or Accadians, in the
time of Hammerabi Owing to the
imperfect knowledge of the language,
the work of deciphering is extremely
difficult, but the university expects to
have complete translations made and
published
The laws that have been translated
refer to legislation; concerning injury
to women; the reputation Of children
who have perhaps been adopted; elope-
ment; the hire of boats and cattle;
and provision for the killing of hired
OK by a lion.
These laws are believed to have
been written about $500 B. c.
