TILLNIAN-WHITE DRAW.
Western Boy is Sent to Canvas Twice
 But Evens Things Up.

New York. Sept. 21.-Though twice dropped for the count of nine. John ny Tillman of Minneapolis earned a draw with Charley White in their ten round bout at the St. Nicholas Rink last night.
 White hoored Tillman in the third round, the first time with a combina- ton left hook and right uppercut and the second time with a straight left hook. However, Tillman did not let his trips to the canvas interfere with his aggressiveness and his forcing tac tics for the rest of the encounter gave him an even break with the Chicago lightweight.
 Johnny Dundee had the easiest kind of a time whipping Joe Mooney of the West Side in the second ten round bout. Joe Yelling was scheduled to appear in the other star battle, but he injured a hand in training. Frankie Conifrey took Welling's pace against Jimmy Duffy, and Conifrey earned the decision by a shade.

 BUT ONLY GET DRAW
Darkness Ends Contest at Forbes
 Field With Score Tied

Pittsburgh, Sept. 20.-The three victories that the Giants need in or der to qualify them for a slice of the worlds series cash appear to be diff7- cult of achievement.

 True, they did not lose any ground. for while the Pirates outclubbed them two to one and made life a dreary desert of consecutive clouts for five peerless pitchers all tagged from the Polo Grounds, yet the Giants, by fight ing like wildcats in the ninth, pro- longed the the combat into the gloam- ing and got verdict of draw by g to 9. Darkness ended the fray in the tenth.

Indians Win Series.

New York, Sept. 21.-Having watched the Yankee scrubs do up the Yankee regulars in a six inning game a score of to 2 Will Donovan de- cided to give the frisky colts a crack at the Clevelands. So he patched up a team around rockies Camp, Wick, Lamar and Fewster, gave them Shock Lamas and Fewster. gave them Shocker and Nunamaker for bat tery and turned them loose on the Indians.
 For seven innings the new order of things worked well. Shocker per 1ntted only one hit and no runs up to the eighth, and the kids. by amassing few hits on Klepfer in the fourth produced two runs.
 But things took a turn for the worse in the eighth. Back in the spring when the Yankees still had designs on the pennant Shocker had 5 to lead on Cleveland at the end of the eighth inning. Then the In dians sandbagged him in the ninth and the game ended with Cleveland ahead, to 5. A similar fate await ed Urban yesterday. In the last two innings Shocker absorbed enough shocks to stun a mule and the In dians won out. 6 to 2. The score: Cleveland ..... oooooOo42-6 ' 2 New York ..... 0002O0OOO-2 5 2

Monsv In the Idea,

There Is money In maintenance" B." the Electrical Merchandising Magazine points out. Large hotels do not buy glassware; they contract with a glass concern which keeps them stocked at SO much per month regardless of the amount of breakage. Taxicab eompa- nies in the big cities do not buy tires; they contract with Q tire dealer to keep their cars equipped at a set price per car per year, regardless of punctures and blowouts. Now comes the story of an electrical contractor who is profit ing by keeping the electric equipment of his customers in order on a monthly maintenance basis.
 "The idea Is not new. The glass man borrowed 1t from somewhere; the taxi tire man borrowed it from him, and so it goes. Originality Is almost all un- known thing. A clever business man is simply one who adapts borrowed ideas successfully-and who doeG 1t first in his locality"

No use to rub or apply a plaster to the back if the kidneys are weak. You cannot reach the cause. Alassan residents would do well to pyoft. by the following example.

There was lump aDouL the size of dollar over each of my kidneys and this made my back so tender and sore that l could hardly bear to have my clothes touch me.

Rurnine Up Woaitn.

Who can tell how extensively our preventable fires count in the cost of living? In the United States there Is fire for every minute of the year. The daily destruction of $GOO,OOO means an economic drain that affects all busi- ness life and all domestic life. When a grain elevator burns, with a loss of 100000 bushels of corn and 3O0,000 bushels of oats, or a fire in a storage warehouse destroys whole trainloads of potatoes, 1t is easy to see what 1t means. But every fire affects the cost of all commodities, although the effect, like many of our taxes, may be ob- scure.-Youth's Companion.
