1t was considered more than likely
that Bert Gallia would be pitted against
George Foster in the third game of the
series. scheduled for this afternoon at
the usual time, $50 o'clock. Gallia
usually is very effective against the
shut-out ball of late. so that another
close game is looked for.
In none of the games which the Bos-

local grounds.
1t was because they beat the Ma

would be fitting revenge should the Sox
be unable to win game on the local
grounds this season. That would be
wonderful achievement for the Grff-
men and it is not impossible.

What is perhaps the closest race the
American League ever has experienced
confronts the fans of the Johnson cir
cult at this time. The first six clubs in
the league all have a percentage OF
more thap 500 and there is difference
of only ffey-eight points between the
teams which are first and sixth. For in
stance New York, in first place, is but
three and one-half games ahead of De-
troit, which went into sixth place yes
terday when the Tigers suffered a de-
feat at the hands of the White Sox.
The Rowland aggregation incident
ally crawled into the first division and
is only a short distance from the lead.
1t is possible for the present standing to
be entirely reversed within a few days.
For the next three weeks 1T will be a
question of gameness and pitching as to
which team shall gain an advantage.
The Nationals will play on their own
grounds until July 23. during which
time they will play two more games
with Boston. four with New York and
then four with each of the western
teams. This ought to give the Griffmen
quite an advantage. The two victories
over the Red Sox may be added to by
making a clean sweep of the series,
and Griffith is confident that the four
games with the Yankees will be placed
on the right side of the ledger.
Experiences such as Harper had in
the fifth inning yesterday are of the
greatest benefit to young pitcher.
After getting himself into the deepest
hole possible, his manager displayed
implicit confidence in his ability and
did not take him out of the game, al
lowing him to solve his own prob
lem. If this sort of practice were in
dulged in oftener it would have the eff
feet of not unnerving young pitchers
and they would be all the better for it.
Encouraged by being allowed to re-
main on the mound in this trying situa-
ton. Harper displayed his appreciation
by striking out two of the next three
batterS to face him and the third man
popped up to the infield

ian was not to be trified with. and they
also learned that Knox was apparently
too tired to play championship calibeI
tennis. Their knowledge was turned
to use in the remaining sets of the
match. They pressed their attack sc
perseveringly against the Pittsburgh
boy that Doyle practically became a
spectator. The chances he had to get
a crack at the ball except when he was
serving or answering service were few
and far between.
The work of Johns was one of the big
surprises of the match. Throughout the
tourney he appeared to be weak spot
on the team, but today he showed how
really well he can play. He was re-
markedly steady in the last three sets
and his brilliant work at the net ac-
counted for many of his teams points
Davis did not play quite as well as in
the singles, but was laboring under the
disadvantage of using a strange racket
having broken all his own, bats earlier
in the day.

OIdrine would have been eagerly
sought by many of the other major
league clubs, and he would have
brought a fair price had he been put
on the market
The former star was thoroughly dis
gusted with the game. He frequently
told Connie Mack he would quit the
game, but Mack did not take him Sc
riously and always succeeded In per-
suading him to remain with the team.
Finally in game which the Griffmen
played in Philadelphia recently Old
ring walked to the bench and said to
Mack. send some one out in left, I am
through" This was taken as a joke,
but the next day RUDE dropped Mack
note in which he made it plain that he
was through with base ball for all time
to come.
There are few instances where ball
players have quit the game when they
were still able to draw a good salary
for their services. Oldring is sure to
miss the game, and its associates. and
he may change his mind and return to
the fold But at present he is positive
that he has donned a uniform for the
last time. Mack figured on Oldring
proving one of his mainstays this sea-
SON and he was well satisfied with the
showing the veteran made.
A source of annoyance to the two
New York clubs has been ended. For
merly a great percentage OF the balls
which were fouled into the stands were
never returned. Hundreds of balls
were lost every season in this manner,
and as these spheres cost SIS per doz-
en-, it was quite an item. The American
club finally decided to put stop to the
practice, and it employed lookouts in
the stands to point out to the private
police in charge the individuals who
put the balls in their pockets. As re-
suit of this practice several arrests
were made and the culprits fined IS

ing of balls and reduced the losses OF
the clubs in balls
1t seems that Manager Pat Moran is
better fortified with pitchers than any
one believed. The fact that both RiXey
and Bender came through yesterday in
an impressive way against the New
York Giants makes the Phillies look
lot better than they have to date. The
one thing that the admirers of the
Phillies feared was their pitching stan,
and the result of the early games in
dicated that Alexander was about the
only one who could be relied upon.
Now. however, that Rixey has come
through, he will be of great help TO the
Phillies.
Bender of course, is sure to be win
ner for he is in as good form as he
ever has been, is behaving himself ana
has the knowledge of the art of pitch
ing which stands him in good stead.
Frank Bakers injury is not going to
prove as much of a hardship. to the
Yankees as might be supposed at the
first glance, for Bauman, the Yankees
satisfactorily. There is no doubt that
Bauman is a superb hitter. He has
never failed for the Yankees. ard
Bakers hitting has been far from his
real standard. So what looks IKE
serious accident really may not amount
to anything, and, perhaps, will be a
benefit to the team.
That Detroit team is going from bad
to worse SO far as pitching is concern
ed. Coveleskie, who always has had an
easy time beating the White SoX, was
driven from the mound yesterday in a
very few innings, and none of the other
twirlers are in good form. Dauss has
pitched some brilliant games, but he is
not a pitcher who can do a lot of work,
being only good when he is given four
or five days rest
On the other hand. Chicagos pitchers
are going well at present. Scott, Rus
sell and Cicotte are winning their
games and even Wolfgang is proving
efficient at present. Chicago when it's
pitching is good, is a dangerous team,
for it has a lot of good hitters on it.

TRY NOVEL PLAN
lola Man VIII Run Grocery
Like a Cafeteria.
Cut I'll. C. L. by Dispensing
With Service of Clerks.

lola, Kan, Dec. 1.-Charle Marsh
announces that he has bought the IN
terests of c. c. Ausherman in the gro
Gerry business and has a novel plan
that will no doubt readily appeal to
the buying public.
The business will be moved on De-
cember Is to the Cunningham build
ing, first door south of kreSs s, ana
will be changed to the Basket store
This will be cash store on the cafe
terra plan.
All goods will be arranged on low
shelving and tables, the price marked
on each article. The customers on en-
tering the store will pick up basket
at the basket counter, go thru the
turnstile, walk down between the
shelving and tables and pick up the
articles they wish. The tables Will be
SO arranged that it will be possible
for customers to go but a certain way.
This route will lead thru another turn
stile to a checking counter, where all
goods will be taken from the basket
and checked.
Handle 500 Persons Daily.
Such packages as the customers may
be carrying when they enter the store
will be left at the basket counter to
be claimed as they come out.
If the customer wishes to buy fruit
and vegetables it can De done at the
fruit and vegetable counter as they
go out. The secret of reducing the
overhead expense in a store of this
kind is to have the customers getting
the goods on their own time instead of
a clerks time.
By this plan Mr.. Marsh expects to
be able to handle 500 customers daily
with no additional expense. This will
mean that he will be able to help re-
duce the high cost of living and sell
goods on a smaller margin of profit
than any other store.
This store will he linked with
chain of out of town stores having a
buying capacity of $4,000 to $15,O00
month. This, of course, will be a
great help to Mr.. Marsh in keeping a
fresh stock and in getting the best
prices possible in buying.
The store will also have a meat mar
ket with fresh and cured meats But
customers are not expected to do their
own meat cutting. This will be con-
Quoted as all other markets.

The New Method.
(By L. w. Bower, NJ. ID


Backache of any kind is often
caused by kidney disorder, which
means that the kidneys are not work
ing properly. Poisonous matter and
uric acid accumulate within the body
in great abundance, over-working the
sick kidneys. hence the congestion of
blood causes backache in the same
manner as a similar congestion in the
head causes headache. You become
nervous, despondent, sick, feverish, ir-
ritable, have spots appearing before
the eyes, bags under the lids, and lack
ambition to do things.
The latest and most effective means
of overcoming this trouble, is to eat
sparingly of meat, drink plenty of wa
ter between meals and take a single
Anuric tablet before each meal for a
while.
Simply ask your favorite druggist
for Anuric if you aren't feeling up to
the standard. If you have 1um bago,
rheumatism, dropsy, begin Immediate
ly this treatment with Anuric. Most
scientists and medical men believe
that because of an over abundance of
uric acid in the system, uratic salts
are deposited in the tissues and cause
rheumatism and gout. ~e--'~7
The physicians and specialists at
DR.. Pierces Institution in Buffalo, N.
Y, have thoroughly tested Anuric and
have been with one accord successful
in eradicating and throwing off from
the system the uric acid which ac-
cumulates and poisons
Patients having once used Anuric
at the institution have repeatedly sent
back for more. Such a demand has
been created that Doctor Pierce de-
cided to put Anuric in the drug stores
of this country, in ready-to-use form.
1t will be their own fault if those suf-
fering from uric acid troubles do not
take advantage of this wonderful
remedy-Advertise
