FIGHTING spirit
keeps SOX AHEAD
Champions Now Full Two
Games Ahead in Amer
lean League
PHILLIES AGAIN
PESTE2 DODGERS

Grit and fighting spirit has car
ried the Boston Red Sox. champions
of the baseball world. out Of danger
for the moment in the American
League race.
By their gritty feat of winning two
games in a row from the Tigers and
eliminating the Detroit menace from
chance for first place honOrs for
today the champions are now two
full games ahead OF the field and 60
ing strong.
In the meantime the National
Leagues merry tri-cornered whirl
for the pennant grew tighter. through
the feat Of AL Demaree in winning
two contests in a single day for the
Phillies. The latter club now is in
a fair way to challenge the claim Of
the Dodgers to ownership OF this
years Tener pennant.
The Red Sox performed quite a
little stunt when they pulled the
blocks from under the Tigers in the
second game of their series yester-
day. The slids were so well creased
that the Tigers didn't end their slide
until they had landed in third place.
where they are now planted half a
game behind the White Sox, who
were mauling the Athletics while the
Red Sox were smashing the Tiger
defenses.
If the Red Sok are now unseated
from the pinnacle position the club
that. upsets them is entitled to all the
honOrs it can get. The champions
pounded out a victory over the
Tigers yesterday after they had got
away to a poor start Three runs
were staring them in the face before
they fairly realized what was hap
pening, but they had had the nerve.
and they won.
The Tigers may win the game still
left in the series. But it doesn't mat
ter a great deal. The Red Sox still
will be in first place and will open
in Cleveland in that position After
the Cleveland series. they will go
home and then Jack Barry probably
will be back in the lineup. The
chance seems TO have slipped out OF
Detroit's grasp. Only a remarkable
recovery by the Tigers and a series
OF bumps for the Red Sox can pre-
vent Bill Carrigan again leading his
charges to a world series.
The Dodgers find themselves chal-
lenged by the Fostering Phillies again
today. The National pills now are
only game and a half in the rear.
The Braves slipped when they were
stepped on with humiliating force by
the last place Reds.
Today the Cardinals and Dodgers
will meet again and the Pills are
carded for another session with the
Pirates. The Braves must meet
those presuming Reds again and
win to keep within good hailing dis
lance.

BACKACHE
(By L. H. Smith, NJ. d.


In spite OF the best care one takef
Of oneself, any part OF the human ma
chine is liable to become out OF or
der. The most important organs are
the stomach, heart and kidneys.
The kidneys are the scavengers and
they work day and night in separat
ing the poisons from the blood. Their
signals OF distress are easily recog
nized and include such symptoms az
backache, depressions. drowsiness, ir
ritability, headaches, dizziness, rheu
matte twinges, dropsy, govt.
The very best way to restore the
kidneys to their normal state. is to
drink plenty Of pure water and obtain
a small amount Of Anur1c. which fa
dispensed by most every druggist. An.
uric is inexpensive and should be TAX
en- before meals. 1t is much more po-
tent than ltthia and many find that
Anuric disolves uric acid as water
does sugar.

the bowels, need to be flushed occa-

Under this continual and perpetual
action they are apt to congest, and
then trouble starts. Uric acid backs

you are a victim to uric acid poison

Dr. Pierce OF the Surgical Institute In
Buffalo, and which Is dispensed by
nearly every druggist in the Land.
