WHEN THE TIRED
MOTHER GIVES OUT
What Then?-The Family Suf-
fers, the Poor Mothers Suf-
fer-Mrs. Becker Meets
This Distressing Situation.

Collinsville, III. 81 suffered from a
nervous break down and terrible head
aches, and was tired all over, totally
worn out and too discouraged to enjoy
life, but as | had four in family and
sometimes eight or nine boarders, kept
on working despite my suffering.
az saw Vinol advertised and decided
to try it, and within two weeks /
noticed decided improvement in my
condition and now am well woman.
Mrs. ANA BECKER, Collinsville, Ill.
There are hundreds of nervous, run
down, overworked women in this vicinity
who are hardly able to drag around and
who we are sure would be wonderfully
benefited by Vinol as Mrs. Becker was.
The reason Vinol is so successful in
building up health and strength in such
cases is because it combines the medici-
nal tissue building and curative elements
of Gods livers together with the blood
making, strengthening properties of
tonic iron. We ask every weak, ner-
vous, rundown man or woman in this
vicinity to try bottle of Vinol on our
guarantee to return their money if it
fails to benefit.

Recall of Judges

After the hue and cry made oye,'
''the initiative. referendum and re-
call" during the past three years,
it makes Progressives smile broadly
when they note how "the recall Of judg
es" was worked in the legislature, and
how often they attach 1.-The referend-
UNI to some measure.
1t makes all the difference in the
world who wants to use these new
ideas. When the Progressives want
ed them. they were damnably wrong.
When the State Bar association
wanted to put back two supreme
court Judges they did not hesitate to
use 1.-The recall on the entire supreme

industrial organizations maintain base
ball teams which play other organizations
on Saturday afternoons or during the
week. These students are supposed TO do
a certain work In return for their salary
Just as do the other non-athletic EN-
ployes. But, as a matter of fact. few OF
them could get such situations except
upon the understanding that they are
good baseball players and will play for
the teams maintained by their EMPLOYERS
In one respect this is a species OF pro-
fessionalism, because the men get their
employment principally because Of their
baseball skill
But playing baseball once or twice a
week and doing mans work in the
store besides Is certainly not making a
business OF baseball. In fact It is no
worse than track athletes representing
the athletic associations OF similar or
ganizations and competing under their
colors under the same conditions. Yet a
strict Interpretation OF the spirit of tba
amateur rule would bar all such men
from amateur athletics
IL baseball association of leading coi-
leges could be formed, II would be am easy

students could receive permission from
their faculties to play In this manner for
certain organizations If, after investiga-
tion, 1t were shown that the men actually
did enough non-athletic work 10 earn

were merely recreation. There certainIv
ought to be a distinction made betwee1
this sort OF baseball and making a living

YOUNG'S BIG PIER
WILDE 1916 SCENE
OF WESTY HOGANS
Noted Shoot Scheduled for
Million Dollar Structure
in September
COOKE TO GET $1,000 CUP

BY way of Christmas cheer for the trap
shooters of the country. and of this city
in particular. Neaf Apgar president OF
the Westy Hogans. noted shooting or
ganization, which started here and spread
all over the country. has Just made an an
nouncement that the event Is meeting
with great favor. This is to the effect
that the annual trapshooting tournament
OF the organization. which Is held an
nually at Atlantic City with upward of
800 shooters in competition. will be held
next September on Youngs Million Dol
lar Pier out over the ocean.
Apgar writes the EVENING LEDGER since
the old pier, on which this shoot was held
until nve years ago, was burned, there
has been steady demand among shoot
ing men In all sections of the land that
the Philadelphia shooters get together and
put some pressure TO bear to make 1t pos
slble again to stage the shoot on a pier
Now that this has been accomplished il is
going to be difficult to accommodate the
great entry list.
In all likelihood the 1915 event will he
far superior to any ever staged in point OF
quality and quantity of attendance, with
the possible exception OF the Grand Amer
lean Handicap OF this year. The holding
OF the shoot on Young's Pier will be a
distinct novelty In shooting
Special piers will be built at the end
and along the side of the pier far out over
the shore, On these traps will be mounted
with shooters stands built on the pier
itself. This will give ample freeboard,
The target then will be thrown out over
the water, but at a sufficient distance
from the bathing beach so that there win
be no danger of shooting into the bathers.

MARK NATIONAL
SOCCER CLASSIC
Number Of Tie Games
Played in Early Rounds.
Disston Surprised
OTHER CORNER KICKS

This seasons competition for the Dewar
Trophy, the national soccer classic, is fur
nshing keener strife than ever before
In every district there were number OF
drawn first and second round matches, and
few of these matches were again drawn
when repladed. The Wtst hudsons and
Yonkers f. c., in the New York dis
trict tied twice, and the Hibernians and
Niscose elevens, of the local district. have
met in two no-decision battles. The Pack
nrds. of Detroit one of the best of the
Middle West teams. played two drawn
matches In the second round with st
Georges +. c.
The first round ties between Bethlehem,
holders of the Dewar Trophy, 1914-15
American League champions and recog-
nl2ed everywhere as the country'S leading
soccer eleven. and Disston, of Taconv and
between NiscOso of Marcus Hook and HI
bernians, of this city, were played off on
saturday and the result OF each match
was distinct surprise The surprise of
the Disston- Bethlehem go was not so
much the fact that the latter won as
that they won so easily. This was the
third meeting of the season for these
clubs. The first was in an American
League game six weeks ago, Disston win
ning, 2-l. On December II the clubs met
at Bethlehem in the second round for the
national cup-JOhn Dewar Trophy-and n
IL draw resulted.
IN view of this excellent showing
against the steel champs, Disston. while
not necessarily the favorite, was expect-
ed to at least hold its own. But Bethlc-
hem won as it pleased, by goals to none.
Disstons defeat may have been due to
the absence of Captain McEwan and Cen.
tre Halfback Fisher, who were injured
early in the week in practice. But, even
So Disston made such a sorry showing in
team-play that 1t is doubtful II the pres
ence of McEwan and Fisher would have
changed the result. except, perhaps to
lower BethIehem's score
Bethlehem stuck to the short passing
game which, in the long run Is the best
Dtsston's attack consisted principallv of
long passes to the wings, and most of
these long passes We're easily Intercepted
by Bethlehem's halfbacks. Quite early In
the game il was evident that this type
OF attack would not prove successful but
instead of changing to the shorter and
truer passes Disston clung to its original
plan of attack.
Disston Boys Club, present holders of
the Philadelphia League Championship
slipped further from the top by losing
to Christ Church, Wissinomng, a new
conner in the league ranks at the open-
ing of the season, gained frmer hold
on the lead by defeating the Boys Club
of the Church Club
The Dlsston Boys Club is not the only
holder of n league championship that is
experiencing difficulty In retaining its
laurels. In the Allied League Putnam |
Is having its hands full, while Felton, |
vile has been making an uphill fight all |
season In the United League. In the |
.ricket Club League Merton White |
formerly Merchantville) is being pressed
hard by Merton Maroon and Moorestown
while Bethlehem is far from being as
iured of the American League title.
