.DOUBLE-HEADER IS
TODAY'SPROGRAM
Harrisburg Unable to Hit; Lose
to Elmira; Binghamton
Here Thursday

Cocktll's crew tackled Wild Conroy's
pennant chasers in a double-header
to-day. The first game started at 2
o'clock with Huenke and Parsons on
the firing line for Harrisburg and
Creagor and Jordon for Elmira. The
final game Of the series with the Con-
roy bunch will be played tomorrow.
II Is probable that Downey, who has
oeen on the hospital list, will get into
the game to-day. Cough is still unable
to play. If there is a switch in the
lne-up, Downey may go to first base
Elmlra expected to have Casey, the
new catcher, in the games to-day.
Binghamton Here Thursday
The next attraction Will be Bing-
hamton, with Red" Calhoun. The
opening game on Thursday, weather
permitting, will be witnessed by a
large crowd. Much interest is mani
tested in the series with the Bingoes
because of Calhoun's leadership. The
program for Calhoun day is working
out nicely.

management will start the game Fri
day afternoon az 2.30 o'clock. 1t will
be Railroaders' day and big crowd
OF rooters from the local shops and
foundhouses. with the usual large
turnout OF tratnmen, is expected.
Harrisburg Lacks Hits
Failure to connect with Wilhelm's
puzzlers yesterday brought a defeat
for Harrisburg. Elmira won: score, 4
TO 2. 1t was some fast battle, even if
1t was played between raindrops. The
wet grass made fielding rather diff
cult Elmira got all the lucky breaks.
Manager Wild Conroy started Creagor
IN the box. He had a pocketful of
rosin and was using il in place of
emery. League rules forbid the use of
either and Umpire Daugherty put
Pitcher Cteagor out of the game. Will
helm proved a good substitute
Burns pitched for the Cockill bunch
and was wild at times. He was not hit
hard; errors back of him figured in
two of the runs. Elmira hit timely

WELLYS 4 CORNER

Rain put crimp in the attendance
at yesterdays baseball game The
strike may also have been a factor.
However. there would have been more
fans present had there been definite
information about the game. Local
baseball fans do not like rain. They
also dislike to walk to Island Park,
get rain check and return to the city.
According to a general belief there
should be a system for letting local
patrons know what is going on. Now
that telephones have been installed.
someone should be delegated to spend
bulletins to various places in the city,
telling what Is going on
Island park patrons are kicking loud
and long because there are no scores
of other New York State League games
hung up on the score board. The old
board in right field needs fixing up.
and Secretary Frank Seiss is waiting
for the completion OF repairs in order
that he may start the other scores.
The removal of Creager yesterday
from the game because he used rosin,
was the first time the punishment has
been meted out to a player in this
city. Rules of the League prohibit the
use of anything on a baseball by a
pitcher. Umpire Daugherty discov-
cred the rosin when he tried to throw

TO END CATARRHAL
DEAFNESS AND
HEAD NOISES

Persons suffering from catarrhal
deafness and head noises will be glad
to know that this distressing affliction
can be successfully treated at home by
an internal remedy that in many in
stances has effected complete cure
after all else has failed Sufferers
who could scarcely hear a watch tick
have had their hearing restored to
such an extent that the tick of watch
was plainly audible seven or eight
inches away from either ear.
Therefore, if you know someone
who is troubled with head noises or
catarrh, or catarrhl deafness, cut out
this formula and hand to them, and
you will have been the means of saw
ing some poor sufferer perhaps from
total deafness. The prescription can
be prepared at home, and is made as
follows:
Secure from your druggist OF.
Parmint Double Strength), about
75c worth. Take this home and add
to it "a pint Of hot water and 4 OF.
of graduated sugar; stir until dis
solved. Take one tablespoonful four
times day.
The first dose should begin to re-
lieve the distressing head noises, head
ache, dullness, cloudy thinking, etc,
while the hearing rapidly returns as
the system is invigorated by the tonic
action of the treatment. Loss OF smell
and mucous dropping in the back Of
the throat are other symptoms that
show the presence of catarrhal poison
and which are often entirely overcome
by this efficacious treatment. Nearly
ninety per cent of all ear trobles are
said to be directly caused by catarrh;
therefore, there must be many people
whose hearing can be restored by this
simple home treatment.
Every person who is troubled with
head noises, catarrhal deafness or ca
tarrh in any form should give this pre-
scription trial--Advertisement

Are Medicines LIQUORS?

A certain class Of prejudiced and
jealous doctors call patent medicines
only alcoholic beverages. They will
tell you that such and such a medi-
cine contains as much alcohol as a
glass of beer or a certain quantity
Of whiskey; but they do not mention
that the beer or whiskey is swallowed
at one draught, while only small
quantity of the medicine is taken at
one dose. At the same time they will
use alcohol quite as freely and many
in four or five times as great proper
tons in their own prescriptions.
Such standard remedies as Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
use barely enough alcohol to preserve
the root and herb extractives, too lit
tie to have injurious effects, and the
medicine can be had, if desired, in a
non-alcoholic form.--Advertisement.
