Danger Signal

If the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help to
put out the fire? It is much the same
way with a cough. A cough is a dan
ger signal as much as a fire bell. You
should no more try to suppress it than
TO stop fire bell when it is ringing,
but should cure the disease that caus-
es the coughing. This can nearly al
ways be done by taking Chamberlain
Cough Remedy. Many have used it
with the most beneficial results. 1t is
especially valuable for the persistent
cough that so often follows a bad cold
or an attack of the grip. Mrs. Thomas
Beeching, Andrews, Ind, writes:
During the winter my husband takes
cold easily and coughs and coughs.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the
best medicine for breaking up these
attacks and you cannot get him to
take any other" Obtainable every

 It is frequently alleged that Prince
 Hal was offered the leadership some time ago by Hermann and his asso-
 ciates of the cientifico inner circle
 which is the power behind the throne
 in Cincinnati baseball politics, and
 that the Prince, having due regard
 for his nervous system, refused the
 honor This rumor, although widely circulated, has not dampened the ar dor of the Chaseistas. Some of the former Chaseistas, it is admitted,
 have climbed aboard the Mattista bandwagon, but it is strongly sus- pected that they have pop bottles concealed upon their persons and their loyalty to the new First Chief is not beyond question.
 These turbulent clements, however, are not those from which Chief Mat ty has the most to fear. The cienti- ficos, the money aristocracy of Red-
 land bafldom, have always been an
 element of danger To all appear

At present, according to all reports from the Ohio river sector, the Mattistas are greatly in the majority among the warlike Redbugs, and the more optimistic among them believe that at last a leader has been found who will be able to put the Red government on a firm and stable basis.

Already there Is apparent an undercurrent of disaffec- ton, which needs only some Villa of Cincinnati fandom to rise up and pro- claim his leadership of the malcon- tents in order to crystalize into a for midable opposition. Given patient and loyal following, there is no rea- son to doubt that Matty could suc- ceed where se many of his predeces- sers have failed. for he has an ex- traordinary stock of baseball lore pigeen-holed away in his upper story.

MURRAY DEFEATS
 JAP IN THRILLING TENNIS STRUGGLE

New York, Aug. 11-B Lindley Murray checked the Japanese inva- sion in the seni-final round of the Achellis Challenge Cup singles yes terday on the turf of the Sea Bright Lawn Tennis and Cricket club at Sea Bright, N. J. The California meteor played himself to a state of exhaus- ton as he fought to hair-raising finish against Itchiya Kumagae the champion of the Orient, to win at 6--8, 6-4, 6--3.
 George M Church, the erstwhile Princeton captain, in the other semi final match, defeated Willis B. Davis, the national clay court winner, in straight sets at 6-4, 6---4.
 In the mi-f1nal round of the doubles William M. Johnston and Clarence J. Griffin, national title holders, completely outplayed Eugene A. Warren and Edwin R. McCor- mick, the young California pair, at 8--1. 7-5.
 The tremendous duel, between Mur- ray and Kumagae overshadowed all else in the days program. The Japan ese craftily plying the court of his opponent with shots that fairly burn ed holes through it, was always equal to taking advantage of every open ing.
