But You Can't Rely On
 Sprays and Innalers

There is no use permitting yourself to be deceived. Per haps, like thousands of others afflicted with Catarrh, you are about ready to believe that the disease is incurable, and that you are doomed to spend the remainder of your days hawk ing and splitting, with no relief in sight from inflamed and stopped-up air passages that make the days miserable and the nights sleepless.
 Of course, this all depends upon whether or not you are willing to continue the old time, make-shift methods of treatment that you and many other sufferers have used for years with no substantial re- suits. If you are still content to depend upon the use of sprays. douches, inhalers, jel- lies and other like remedies by Themselves, that are applied to the surface and cannot reach below 1t, then make up your mind now that your Catarrh will remain a life companion and will follow you to the grave.
 You must realize that the disease itself, and not it's symp- toms, is what you have to cure. Of course, you know that when you are cured of any disease its symptoms will disappear. Ca tarrh manifests itself by in- flammation of the delicate membranes of the nose and air passages, which choke up and make breathing very difficult. To get rid of these distressing effects you must remove their cause.

Minneapolis, May 16-A plain statement of the critical situation facing baseball this year was made here tonight by M. E. Cantillon, president of the Minneapolis club of the American association.
 T do not suppose there will be a mi nor league in operation by July f. except perhaps some of the larger minors" MT. Cantilon said.
 As regards the situation in Minneapolis the magnate declared that unless the players are willing to accept a percentage of the losses we will have to drop base ball for the season."
 He added that players salaries had eaten up baseball profits for the last four or five years
 we now have seven players on the team receiving more than $300 month" he continued. T am in favor of dropping baseball for the season I know that there are more clubs in the American as

The experience of Mrs. Wes- serman was like that of thou sands of others who have tried local remedies in vain. She claims that she was finally cured by $. s. s. because she realized that Catarrh is a blood disease, and the only sensible treatment is through the blood. The blood is laden with the Ca tarrh germs, which direct their attack against the tender and delicate membranes of the nose and throat. These germs can- not be reached by sprays or douches, which, of course, have no effect whatever upon the blood.
 $. $. s. is a purely vegetable blood remedy, made from roots and herbs direct from the for est, which combat promptly any disease germs or impuri- ties in the blood. This great remedy has been used for more than 50 years with most satis- factory results. It has been successfully used by those af- flicted with even the severest cases of Catarrh, because it drives out from the blood the Catarrh germs, and eliminates every foreign substance from the blood. s. s. s. is sold by druggists everywhere.
 For the benefit of those afflicted with Catarrh or other blood diseases. we maintain a medical department in charge of specialist skilled in these diseases. If you will write us fully he will give your case careful study and write you just what your own individ- ual case requires. No charge is made for this service.

Bobby Watt, property of the Detroit team, who came here from Chattanooga, has been returned to Detroit and that club ordered him to report to Spring field. Cy Pieh and Tom Blodgett, pitch CTS, both the property of the New York that club. This action was taken, it is stated, because the Mobile club owners completed the deal with the Yankees for these two men and they wish to re- turn them before surrendering the fran chise
 SMALL ATTENDANCE
 The miserable showing of the Mobile team, which has won only nine games since the season opened. caused fall ing off in attendance at the park only 134 people paying admission to the game on Monday. The lack of patronage is due solely to the bad showing of the team, as the fans at the beginning of the season showed a disposition to flock to the ball park, and some fine at tendances were turned in.
 However, it has dwindled down to nothing with the many recent losses un- til the past few days, when not enough people entered the park to pay the em- ployes. The fact led up to the decision to surrender the franchise, the club of ficials finally determining upon this course when they saw no immediate chance of improving the team when Manager Mcintyre, after trip through the major leagues. reported no ball players to be found at the present time.
 It is not though that the surrender of the franchise will interfere with the playing of the MobileMemphis games scheduled for Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week. President Baugh upon his arrival here, is ex- pected to interest someone to take charge of the situation and order games played and the franchise continued until some definite scheme can be determined upOn.

This also brought out the further information that Matty Mcintyre, manager of the Mobile team, would sever his connection with the ilocal club. Matty has been offered the management of the club as bench manager at salary of one-half of what he has been drawing and the Gull leader states that he is through, refusing to accept the cut in salary.
 Just what will be the outcome of Mo bile forfeiting its franchise and local stockholders notifying the league that they have quit, is problematical, but it is most likely that Mobile will not be without baseball, that is for the re- mainder of the season, as the league is expected to continue the operation of the franchise here.
 WOULD HURT LEAGUE
 It would be severe blow to the Southern league if this city was allowed to drop from the circuit at the present, as it not only would necessitate a re- arrangement of the schedule, but would mean that the other seven clubs would find matters badly tangled with the ; play planned as an eight-club organiza- ton.
 We have notified President Baugh that we have forfeited the franchise, said Dr. Inge Wednesday afternoon, when advised that it was known he had wired the league head of Mobiles plight. President Baugh and Messrs. Watkins of Memphis, Charley Frank of Atlanta and A. J. Heneman of New Orleans will come to Mobile tomorrow morning for a conference"
 Dr. Inge would not venture an opin- ion as to what would be the outcome. We have gone as far as we could, he added, and we found ourselves un- able to continue. We were forced to surrender the franchise.
 M'INTYRE QUITS
 Manager Mcintyre announced tonight that he was through. The Gull leader stated that the club officials had of fered him a place as bench manager if he would stand a cut of 50 per cent in his salary. This I will not do, and am through" he said. He says he will leave for Detroit in & few days.
 At the same time further announce ment of releases, sales etc. of players was announced. Outfielder Layden, sent to Mobile by the New York Yankees was fined $50 for being out of condition and will be sent back to them.
