Manager Waring of Hannibal was
In Moline seeking players last Mon
day, says the Hannibal Journal Ted"
either forgot to register at the hotel
or else he "gumshoed" his way
through.
Hannibal fans are strongly opposed
to opening the Three-Eye schedule on
April 26, as it will not give them time
to assemble team of players of the
calibre they want, so they claim.
Seems funny that Tearney nor
anyone connected with the league
failed to have the address of the play
ers of the defunct Freeport team"
says the Hannibal Courier-Post. To
date the Hannibal officials know of the
whereabouts of only one player. He
| wired asking for the date to report.

HEATING OF YANKEES
STILL HOLDING OUT

New York, April 13.-Ray Heating
refused a contract yesterday with the
Yankees. He demanded more money
than the club owners were willing to
pay. Heating was compelled to retire
from the game early last season be-
cause of an injury to his back, but he
has returned this spring in excellent
condition.
In view Of the fact that Heating has
been OF little use to the Yankees in the
pitching box, the club officials when
they tried to sign him refused to meet
his figures.

Chicago, April 13-The old Detroit
hoodoo, which in the waning days of
last years pennant struggle took
flag out OF our hands when it looked
as II we were IN, came out of winter
quarters yesterday and sloughed us
right between the eyes again.
1t was a tough game to lose, Open
ing up at home after clean slate on
the training trip, the White Sox
marched TO the diamond tagged 'the
class OF the league" and were shut
out, TO 0, before $4,000 fans. The
box score and the play by play de-
scription tell the statistical story Of
how we'll Hughey Jennings crew per-
formed in actual figures, but 1t was
an afternoon OF all-around hard luck
for the Sox-and that's another story.
The first man up was Bush. He
grinned as he trotted down on the
first base on balls Of the season. Jen-
nings, on the coaching line, threw
series OF complicated fits which prob
ably contained some sort Of signal for
Witt to kill the ball. He tried to, but
the hoodoo had left Russell for mo-
ment and drifted down to first base
TO put the game on ice for Detroit, and
Witt famed
Then 1t happened, gentlemen
ously and with all the trimmings. AS
Witt struck at the third one in vain
Bush found himself midway between
first and second, for he had expected
a wallop and had taken an extraor-
dinarily long lead. 1t looked like a
pipe. Schalk whipped the ball down
to Zeb Terry, who covered second,
and Bush turned and heeled it back
for first
And FOurnier Dropped 1t.
On paper it was the easiest putout
known to science. but it didn't turn
out that way. The old Detroit jinx
works in unbelievable ways its Won
ders to perform. Fourier, at first,
dropped a perfect throw by Terry and
Bush slid to safety under the ratified
Fournier's feet
That was the break Of the game, and
from that time it was hopeless,
Against such luck as that Russell or
any other pitcher was futile. Cobb
followed Witt at bat, which was add
ing insult to injury. Tyrus doubled
down the right field Unexpectedly
picking that particular line because
Fourier was in the neighborhood.
Veach tripled, sending Bush and Cobb
home, and then Crawford registered
Veach with a sacrifice fly. The total
for the inning was three runs and the
game, for the subsequent fourth count
was superfuous. The Sox were hoo
dooed and could not win. The score:

WHEN KIDNEYS ACT BAD
 TAKE GLASS OF SALTS
Eat Less Meat If Kidneys Hurt or You Have Backache or Bladder Misery
 Meat Forms Uric Acid.

No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make mistake by flush ing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which clogs the kidney pores so they sluggishly filter or strain only part of the waste and poisons from the blood, then you get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trou- ble, nervousness, constipation, dizzi- ness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders come from sluggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts, or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or at- tended by a sensation of scalding, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any reliable pharmacy and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water be- fore breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This ia nous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and has been used for genera tions to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity, also to neu- tralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder disorders.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure; makes delightful efferves- cent Whitewater drink which all reg ular meat eaters should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby avoiding se- rious kidney omplications.-Adv.
