UP FOR TRIAL TODAY
The fate of 400 downstate saloons
hangs upon the result of the election
today. Four entirely new dry coun-
ties may line up with the drys in the
future as a result of the voting today.
With the women casting ballots an
other dry wave is predicted which will
rival the one of last April, when near
ly 1000 bars were closed.
Forty-eight townships will vote on
the saloon question today. Fffty-two
of the 102 counties in the state are
already dry and, a few more may be
added.
Danville is the most important city
to be affected by the vote today. The
vets swamped the dry forces last
year, but after a year of work the
"antis" are confident.

TRUST-SUES

. A 100000 suit against the Amer

being trustf1 was filed by DR.. Sam
uel Summers of Washington, Pa, in
the federal court yesterday. Sum-
mers says the association is unfair
and has blacklisted medicines which
he patented years ago.
The association is called trust"
by Summers, who says that it is the
most powerful factor in the medical
world. A story in the journal of the
association in 1908 killed all chances
of success for his medicine, although,
he claims, DR.. Simmons, the man
ager, later admitted that the article
was unfair.

games have the Whales batted worth
plugged nickel and they have given
their own pitchers too large burden
to carry. Four or five hits per nine
innings will win few ball games and
that is the best the North Siders have
been registering.
Finding the southpaWs fooling his
right-handed batters, Tinker has re-
sorted to all manner of experiments,
but so far the shifts have been in
vain. He replaced Jimmy Smith yes
terday, himself going to shortstop,
where he managed to plug one hit
that was wasted.
Harry Fritz was derricked from the
batting order and Rollie Zeider went
to third base Rollie batted all after
noon without injuring any baseballs
or forcing carpenters to repair boards
on the fences.
This futile batting has caused a
rapid descent of the Whales from the
top of the ladder to fourth place.
True, they are but half game out
of the leadership, but any batting at
all would have found them perched |
high today, safely ahead of all oppo-
sition.
Some explanation for this recent
weakness. in attack may be found in
the fact that for nearly ten days the
locals played baseball only intermit-
tently, having no opportunity to keep |
their batting eyes frightened. Be
that as it may, the outlook is bad
unless there is an uprising soon. After
this st. Louis series the Whales must |
prepare for a road trip, and then they |
will have no opportunity for batting
practice.
Prendergast pitched we'll for the |
North Siders and suffered his first |
defeat of the season. He granted
only six hits.
Today the Cubs came home for a
nights rest. Tomorrow they stage |
