MRS. CUTHbERTSON
 GAINED 20 POUNDS
Had Rheumatism So Bad She Couldn't Walk About House After Taking Tanlac
 Walks Miles With Ease.

One of the strongest and most con vincing evidences Of the wonderful re- suits being accomplished by Tanlac throughout the south is the large num- Der of letters that are being received daily from scores of well known men and women who have been benefited by its use.
 Among the large number that have been received in the past few days, none are more interesting than the following letter from l.. c. Alderman of the Rison Drug company. Rison, Ark. which is selfeXplanatory.
 "Rison, Arkansas. G. F. Willis, Atlanta. Ga
 Dear Sir:-I am enclosing herewith a statement obtained from one of my good Tanlac customers this morning. The case that Frank Cuthbertson. of Clio Ark. reports of his mother is very remarkable one. as she had not been able to do anything to speak of for several years. while now she can walk a mile with little inconvenience. There are anumber of remarkable cas- es in my locality. One of my best friends has used seven bottles of Tan lac and shows gain of 9 pounds and has very extravagant appetite.
 Yours truly,
 (Signed) L. c. Alderman"
 Mir Cuthbertson's statement regard ing his mothers experience with Tan lac is as follows:
 My mother has taken five bottles of Tanlac and has gained 20 pounds. r never saw such change in anybody in all my life as Tanlac has made in her About three years ago. she happened 10 hard fall, which left her all run down and very weak. She suffered her feet would swell and hurt her so she wasn't able to get about, not even to walk around the house. I think her troubles were all caused by the fall and she just suffered nearly all the time and kept losing weight until she got to taking Tanlac.
 Why mother commenced to show improvement almost as soon as she started on Tanlac. Her appetite got better and she began to pick up in weight and get stronger. She is SO years old now, and it certainly is won- derful what Tanlac has done for her. She can walk any reasonable distance by herself now, and she's in better health than I have seen her in six years. l simply cant tell you how proud we all are of Tanlac, and how we appreciate what it has done for mother

 It was announced in this paper two weeks ago that MT.

HeaUyR Rain Causes Change0f atefOrFrstNeW York Game
 BetUeen Leaders Of Leagues

ball enthusiasts who had come from distant points to witness the battle. Almost every city and town through out New England and middle Atlantic states was represented by delegations large and small. Many had arranged to be absent from their business for only one day and there was rush of telegrams and long distance telephone calls as soon as it was definitely known that the national commission had decided to postpone the opening game here until tomorrow.
 There was quiet rejoicing among the hotel proprietors and theatre arrangements, however, for the post ponement meant an additional harvest of currency from the fans who were obliged to add another day to their visit in this city if they wished to see the contest.
 Rooms at Premium.
 Rooms at all the hotels throughout the central belt of Manhattan Island were at a premium long before night fall and many mans tramped miles in the rain, bags in hand, before they were able to get accommodations. There was also a rush for theatre tickets and the box offices were soon sold cut leaving the visitors to the mercy of the ticket spectators who quickly raised the price of their paste boards. forcing the more economical of the fans to the moving picture places.
 The postponement also furnished a new topic of discussion for all those directly and indirectly interested in the worlds series. Weather reports were in great demand and there were many allusions to the famous 1911 series between the New York Ma tionals and the Philadelphia Ameri- cans.
 Big Talk.
 Close followers of baseball and worlds series play in general recall ed that in that series there was full lapse of six days between the third and fourth games. Heavy an continu- ous rain caused the commission re peatedly to call off the scheduled game until many fans, tired of delay. sold their tickets to the spectators for a fraction of their face value and returned to their home towns. Since that date the series has been played each year without a postponement or break, except where Sunday inter- vened, until today.
 The consensus of opinion tonight was that Cicotte would pitch for Chi cago tomorrow and that he would be opposed by Sallee e New York. The probable batting order:

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-Heavy rain which began shortly before noon, caused a postponement until tomor- TO of the third worlds series game scheduled for today between the Chi cago White Sox and the New York Giants. Rain fell during the night and early morning but there was ev- be played until the beginning of the heavy downpour that lasted all after noon. The forecast for tomorrow is fair and warmer Rain today was ac- companied by a decided drop in temp erature There was evidence that the game would have been attended by a capacity crowd for fully 15,000 specta- tors were in the Polo Grounds stands when the official announcement of the postponement was made. The lines in front of the gates extended for sev eral blocks when the ticket boxes were opened early in the forenoon and the men and boys, many of whom had stood in line all night, filed in to the grounds.
 Every Ticket Sold.
 As usual every ticket sold today had a rain check attached which will be good only for the third game of the series. Many of these found their way into the hands of spectators. In most cases the rain checks were sold at a profit to the holders.
 When the first squall came the dia- mond was uncovered and the playing surface hard and fast, but so quickly did the rain fall that the base paths were heavy before the groundkeeper and his helpers could spread the waterproof mats. Tonight there was every indication that opening game here would be played under much the same surface conditions as prevailed last Saturday at Chicago.
 Remain In New York.
 Under the ruling of the national commission the teams must remain in this city until two games have been played If the clubs are able to re- sume their struggle here tomorrow and the Giants won one or both con tests, the teams will return to Chica- go for a single game there next Sat urday, instead of Friday as originally scheduled. If a sixth game is neces- sary to decide the series, the teams will leave Chicago Saturday night and take up the play again at the Polo Grounds the. following Monday
 Giants May Improve.
 Many close followers of baseball and the adherents in particular. eX- pressed the opinion that the delay of a day or two would improve the chances of the National league rep resentatives. It was figured that the White Sox, because of their double victory have got the jumps on the Giants and that break in the success sion Of games would afford the New York players a chance to show to bet ter advantage and steady down. The New York fans are pulling hard for their favorites to win two straight or the home grounds. Many of them con tend that if this does happen the Ma ticnals will go to the front and win the series.
 Rain Is Disappointment.
 The postponement proved a severe disappointment to thousands of base
