:-:OVER THE TOp:-:

Another aspirant for the mana
geria1 berth of the New London
Planters, left vacant when Manager
Eugene H. Mccain was deposed by
Owner Morton F. Plant, has developed
in the person of our old friend,
Thomas Downey, more familiarly
known to local fans as "Tommey"
Downey.
Downey has been in the profess
sionaI game for about % years, and
has probably had as much experience
as the average big league manager
when he first takes up the big league
managing job. He is product Of
the sand lots Of Bridgeport, and was
early taken under the wing of James
H. O'Rourke, owner and manager Of
the Bridgeport club in the days
when they were known as the Ora
tors. He served with the locals sew
eral years, playing on. that champion
ship team composed Of Clark, Foster,
Yale. Ladd, O'Dell. Beaumont, Nc
Cullough, Corooran. and others in the
days when Holyoke Bridgeport and
New Haven were usually battling for
the lead.
Downey was up in the big show for
several years, most OF MS time pe1ng
spent with Cincinnati. Lost summer
he played with the Planters, and dis
played much Of his old time form.
While Owner Plant has announced
nothing officially. he has been in COM
munication with Downey, and those
close to him declare that the mil
lfonatre looks favorably upon the
candidacy Of the former big Lacquer.
| There Is no doubt but that Downey
| could handle the team in good shape.
and at this writing it seems ex-
| seems extremely probable that he will
| be given the chance.
It should be great race-that to
be staged by Downey and Deininger.

The semi-final bout is a ten rounder
between Johnny Martin of New Haven
and Johnny Drummie Of Waterbury
! Martin isn't getting cent for his end

services free just to show that he can
beat Drummie, and to satisfy the New
Haven fans that he is really one OF

Blades of Woonsocket, r.. T., in the
feature bout of the evening, which is
down for Is rounds to a decision.
Blades will work out this week in
New Haven.
President Weeghman of the Cubs
says that 1t is unfair to ridicule his
announcement that his stockholders
are prepared to spend 100000 for
new players But Weeghman fails to
disclose the wnereabouts of available
stars. The A. s. will be about as

MCCOY MAY LOSE
TITLE THIS WEEK

New York, Nov. 1.-THE final bouts
to be contested under the Frawl.y law
will be spectacular affairs. The most
important Of all will be a ten round
battle for the middleweight cham
pionship between AL Mccoy, tie title
holder, and Mike O'Dowd, challenger.
This will take place at the C1ermont
Sporting club, Wednesday night, and
will draw a great throng, as O'Dowd
is one of the most popular fighters
that ever drew on glove in this
city.
On the same night a heavyweight
bout of much interest will be staged
at the Harlem Sporting club when
Frank Moran and Bill Brennan face
each other. This should be an ex-
citing combat, as each is a heavy hit
ter and very aggressive. It will be
! the acid test for Brennan, as he will
have to take a punch as well as
give.
! Next in Importance will be the bat
tie between Billy Miske and Jack Dill
lon, which is set for the Broadway
Sporting club tomorrow night. Miske
! is fighting in top form at present and
, if Dillon has retrogressed, as is charg-
| ed, he will get a rare humping.

Oddities of the Elephant.

Whoever has looked inside an ele-
plants mouth, has seen strange
sight, an exchange observes. Ele-
plants have no front teeth, and they
never eat flesh or any food that re-
quires tearings apart. Eight teeth are
all they have, two above and two be-
low on each side, huge yellow molars
as wide as a mans hand.
Over these hay and fodder are shift
ed by the queerest, ugliest tongue in
the whole animal kingdom, tongue
that is literally hung at both ends.
having no power of movement except
in the middle, where it shifts back and
forth from the side, arching up against
the roof of the big mouth like a
Wrinkled pink serpent.
Elephants, like human beings, have
two sets of teeth. The milk teeth,
which are smaller than the permanent
molars, fall out when the animals are
about fourteen years old, These baby
teeth-which are, nevertheless, enor-
mous-are occasionally picked up by
circus men among the fodder and pre-
served as curioSirieS.

LIFT YOUR C0RNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
How to loosen a tender corn
or callus so it lifts out
without pain.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter
wear shoes a size smaller if you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that a few drops of drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn, instantly re
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
IF your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet,. tell him to get a small
bottle of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.

Simplicity of arrangement usually ex-
presses the greatest feeling in bring
ing about The homelike effect. A few
good pictures which are in accord with
the room, good books placed where
they will be used, artistic lights in
stalled where they are needed, and
flowers arranged by the member of
the family who likes them best, all
form an expression of the simplicity
upon which beauty no less than COM
fort depend.
Toward this end the architect can
do little more than prepare the way.
1t remains for the members CT the
household to contribute the personal
items of beauty, the individuality and
the charm, without which even the
most beautiful house lacks the essen
tial elements of a home. While the
larger house may offer greater oppor-

on both their mental and physical
characteristics. A man does twice as
much work and is twice as happy in
modern daylight factory as in the old,
dark and dismal ones.
A room such as the living room in
this design plays the same part in the
home life. 1t is the meeting place OF
the family, where the associations
have their important effect on the de-
veloping character of the children. 1t
is also the place where friends and
relatives are entertained and where
the social part of the community life
is kept up. It is rather necessary,
therefore, that this room be Of good
size and as comfortable and attractive
as possible.
The living room in this design is 27
by 13 feet, which gives ample space.
In the back wall is a big brick fire
place. Plenty Of wall space is pro-
vided for some Well-chosen furniture
that will harmonic with the decora-
tive scheme that is chosen. With q
bright cheerful fire burning in the fire
place this room will more than live
up to its name as living room.
The exterior Of this design is finish
ed in typical bungalow style. The roof
has a very fiat pitch with caves that
extend out on all sides. The gable,
extending toward the front of the
house. has the right side slightly long
er than the left, SO as to cover the
small front porch. The walls are COW
cred with shingles. The steps to the
front porch are rather wide and pre-
sent a pleasant, inviting appearance.
The entrance to the house is into the
living room, which is connected to the
dining room by wide opening. The
dining room might serve also as a sum
parlor because of the many windows
that are placed in the walls. Along
the front there are four windows, with
five along the side and one opening out
on to the front porch. The dining
room is of good size, and being con-
nected to the living room makes an I'M
usually large space across the front Of
the house. In the back part is buff
fet which is built against the wall.
Directly back of the dining room is
pantry that is most necessary adj
junct of the kitchen. Under the win
dow in the pantry is table, and across
from this small cupboard. The sink
in the kitchen is placed near the pan
try so that dishes will not have to be
carried far. Small details such as
these are needed to make the kitchen
a pleasant place to work in.
The house is set up high enough SO
that a good basement can be provided.

The Outdoor Woman.

When that husky brute, man, goes
into the big woods for the good time
of the year, no longer does he leave
Ia bundle of frills and laces at home,
or the shore, with nothing to assuage
her grief at parting with her lord but
a stack of the latest fiction, fond
kiss and, perhaps, hypocritical wish
you could go with me-" No, indeed!
Now she goes with him. and he is find
ing out that he is very glad she does.
Whether either he or she is glad,
however, depends, in measure-in
fact, rather largely-upon her clothing.
She must be warm in cold weather,
not too warm in hot weather, not be
bedraggled to helplessness when it
rains. nor snagged every few minutes
in rough going by stepping on her
skirt or getting caught on stub. If
she is to be real companion to man
she must not hold him back by adding
to her natural handicap, lack of
strength, the unnecessary and exasper-
ating unsuitable costume. Outing.

BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRD.

Mr.. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building, for the readers Of this
paper. On account of his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he
is. without doubt, the highest authority

There is always a question as TO
just where the dividing line comes be-
tween the architect and the home
builder in planning a house. Surely
the home builder desires a beautiful
house which he can point to with
pride; but the architect, although his
feelings are not exactly those of the
home builder, also desires that the
house be beautiful. The home builder
wants every possible item which will
contribute to the convenience of the
house included in the design; but the
architect also strives toward this end,
although he must temper his efforts
with structural details and perhaps a
limitation as to cost. In word, the
interests Of the home builder must be
the assumed interests of the architect.
How far is it possible for the archi-
.tect to carry out the design SO that
the house may be made into the home
which the owner desires?
This fact is certain: Even the most
beautiful house, decorated in the most
skillful manner, is not truly home
until the occupants have established
the evidence of their personalities both
on the exterior and in the interior.

What Is Uric oAcid )?

Everyone has uric acid in the system,
but naturally in small quantities. Ex-
cessive amount is caused by eating too
much meat and foods that ferment in
stomach. The kidneys, being the filters
of the blood, are supposed to separate
and throw the poisons out of the system.
Weak, tired and overworked kidneys
fail to do this, hence the uric acid accu-
mulates and the urate salts are carried
by the blood to the solid tissue structure,
causing backache, lumbago, rheuma-
tism, dropsy, drowsiness, and tired
feeling.
To overcome the trouble is Only a
matter of toning up the kidneys, and this
is best done by treatment with Anuric,
three times day. Anuric is recent
discovery of DR.. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y,
and can be obtained at any drug store.
Experience taught Doctor Pierce that
Anuric is more powerful agent than
ithia in dissolving uric acid, and it is
then carried out Of the system.

tunity for the architect to express his
art, the less pretentious house yields
more order to make the design struc-
turally practical.
The house shown ~ the accompany
ing Illustrations is of the one-stOry
bungalow type. It's room arrangement
will no doubt suggest several desirable
features which may be obtained in this
type of house.
There is one great hobby in room
arrangement that many people have.
In planning a home nearly every one
will insist on one large room with a
fireplace in it. The beauty of this
idea is that it is SO practical. There
is nothing more necessary to the home
than a room where everyone cab
meet, and where there is plenty of room
to entertain visitors.
