1t May Not Be Troubling
You During the Warm
Weather But 1t Is Still
In Your Blood

Catarrh is not only disgust
ing disease, but is a dangerous
one, and you should never let
up in your efforts to get it out
of your system until you have
done it thoroughly. Get rid of
it, whatever it costs you in
trouble and money.
1t is undoubtedly true that
the careless way in which many
people treat Catarrh, in its
early stages especially, is one
reason it is so prevalent among
all classes of people. IF you had
taken hold of the supposed
cold" and cured it up promptly
you might have been spared
your present suffering.

Lewis didn't waste any time and had
been on the mat hardly a minute when
he threw Freberg to the floor and quicly
clamped a body scissors with an arm

and addressed to the Official Scorers as
ISOLATION, who in virtually ali instances
are sporting writer's on papers in the
various cities in the league, mentions
that the scorers are paid for their work

As result of the bulletin, the official
scorer in New Orleans has rendered his
resignation and similar action in some
other cities is rumored
In his bulletin Mr.. Baugh asserted as
an employee of the league it was the
scorers duty to use his influence and eff
fort to make the league as great sue

In some instances" he wrote, II have
observed the official scorers allow them
selves to become rabid fans, and severely
criticizse both the umpire and players in
the paper they work for. Such criticisms
are direct reflections upon this office and
the league. In future this kind of criti-
