BATTLE AXE AND AERO
BOYS MEET AGAIN TO-DAY
With Improvement In Aviation Team,
Fnna Expect Close Contest mt
Boulevard Field.

A poppy fight and hard one may
be we'll expected this afternoon when
tho local Battle Axe aggregation goes
up against the Aviation Corps baseball
team
Today's contest is to be at Boulevard
Field at 4 o'clock. 1t will be the second
fight staged thus far between the two
mines and. in spite OF the fact that the
Battle Axe trounced their rivals last
week to the tune OF to =. it is ant!ci-
patcd that the defeated team will enter
into the scrap this afternoon looking
for blood.
or great aid to the aviation boys has
been the daylight saving plan, which
has enabled them to practice al hour
later each day. This fact should i'm
prove their fielding to an appreciab BILE
degree. Last week their errors
amounted to seven. and mufrcd ball
by Williams let in two tallics. y sub
sequent error by Chester enabled the
Battle Axe team to score again. and
Vaccare's muff in the eighth was the
indirect cause of another run.
Manager Watkins reports that the
fielding has improved a great deal. 1t
may be said that. but for the numerous
errors, Battle Axe would have had
difficult time defeating the aero boys
with this failing the part OF the
aviation corps remedied. should be
close.
The probable lineup will be:
Aviation Corps-Naccare. first base:
Hansen, second base: Logan. shortstop:
Arthur. third base: Herrick. right field:
Cook, left field: Chester center field
Weiszy, pitcher; Williams, catcher.
Battle ANe-Baucr. first base; Amos |

Nothing can he definitely stated as
yet IN regard 20 Richmond's prospects
OF landing place in the Virginia
League. although all indications seem
to point to the fact that the franchise
Will bc given eventually.
This state OF things has been
brought ahou; by the city's withdrawal
from the old Virginia League aud its
subsequent berth with the 1nts.. which
withdrawal has placed Richmond on
the same basis as Il club never with
the organization.
Powers Were Limited.
This fact limits necessarily the pow
crs OF the Richmond representatives
who met tho Virginia League officials
in Norfolk yesterday. They were not
accorded tho right of the floor and
their only privileges were such as
might be granted to any other club In
Virginia or In any other State. AL
though 1t is not stated as official. it Is
generally supposed that when tho COM
mission meets again, the floor will be
rendered To this city's representatives.
If the more Interested of baseball
enthusiasts will let his memory 20

III baseball is to be Il success in this

indicate az soon as possible that they
are willing TO put mp an amount of
money which will be sufficient not only
to put club into the field but TO

Should Richmond be unwilling to as
sumo the responsibility this year, IL
seems wise to indicate the fact at once
in order that the mistakes OF the In
ternattonal League regime may be
avertcd 1t is not logical, however.
that this city, always so Interested
during the Virginia League DAYS.

izauon this summer il a good team

many, 1t does not seem practical that

But, after all is said and done. the
question devolves upon the fan in

Any physician will tell you
that Rheumatism is a deep
seated blood disease. The pain
is not the disease itself, but
merely a symptom natures
warming TO you that you have
been attacked. The only intel
ligent treatment, therefore, is
through the blood; treatment
directed toward eliminating the
disease germ from the blood.
For years nearly all the pre-
scriptions used by the medical
profession were those contain
ing iodide of potash or mer-
curial substances, but in nearly
every case these minerals are
more injurious to the system
than the disease itself.
One reason why S. S. S. is so
successful in the treatment Of
rheumatism and other blood
disorders is the fact that it is a
purely vegetable remedy, being
made from roots and herbs
gathered direct from the for
ests. 1t contains not a particle
of mineral substance, and acts
by driving all disease germs
from the blood and cleansing it
of all impurities. S. S. S. has
been on the market for fifty
years, and every druggist has
sold it ever since he has been
in business. 1t is sold under OH
absolute guarantee that it is
purey vegetable.
Our medical department is
maintained for the benefit of
the afflicted, and if you will
write fully about your case you
will be given complete advice
as to the treatment necessary
for your individual case, for
which no charge is made. Adj
