1t was a case of one-two-three for
the Geezers in their sets with the
Natcos on the "Y" alleys last night.

The Grip.
Grip is something Of joke to those
who have never had it, but when they
get it they become dead to all sense
of humor. No disease was ever more
appropriately named because grip
takes hold of the entire system To
get rid of it take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and carefully observe the
directions with each bottle. This rem
edy is highly recommended by those
who have used it and know it's real
value. Obtainable everywhere.-Adv.

for reduction of the player limit from

the twenty-five player limit are Colonel
Ruppert and Miller Huggins. OF the New
York Yanke, !. and President Ball, of
the st Louis Browns. .
Rupert and Higgins announced they
were negotiating for a trade which
would bring DerreIl Pratt. OF the

IN favor OF a ito-sams schedule fos
