Many Brattleboro People Have Been
Called as Witnesses.

Week after week has been published
the testimony of Brattleboro people
kidney sufferers-backache victims
people who have endured many forms
of kidney, bladder or urinary disor-

Kidney Pills. All have given their en-
thusiastic approval. It's the same
everywhere. $4,000 American men and
women are publicly recommending
Doan's- always in the home papers.
Isn't it n wonderful, convincing mass
of proof? If you are a sufferer your
verdict must lie "Try Doan s first"
Here Is one more Brattleboro case:

Tomorrow, the Reds move to Phila-

games with the tailenders. They
should easily take the Phillie series,

New York, their chances for the
league lead are bright.
McGraw proved that he is becoming
worried over the Reds drive. when he
filed protest yesterday against the six
inning, Red-Pirate contest last Sun
day at Cincinnati. which was called
before the ninth inning to allow the

In the first inning, before Elmer Eg-

their avoirdupois, they managed to
hold Twigg's speedsters to a two-run
score, but after that-it started in the
second. and lasted through three
rounds, with never a chance for the
Hefts. A final inning rally made
things look rather doubtful for the
Whippets, and the fat men brought
the score from two to six runs.

Hill started on the mound for the

inning for the Whippets. with four

Reds Half Game Ahead,
But Behind In Percentage

Where are the Reds In this National
League race? They have won three
more games and lost two more
games than the Giants, yet the chesty
McGrawites still are leading the pa
rade. What's wrong here?
Just figures.
Actually, the Reds are a half game
ahead of the Giants, but you can't
monkey with the figures. The dope
shows that the Giants have played
five games fewer than the Reds, and
it so happens that the more games
played by team the smaller the
gain in percentage.
Now here's a funny wrinkle of the
figures.
The Reds are seven and one-half
games ahead of the Cubs. who are in
third place, and the Giants are only
seven games ahead of the Cubs.
And yet the Giants are first in the
National League race and the Reds
second.

days ago. he succeeds Jack Combs.
All we have to say about the ap-
pointment is that we wish him good
luck.
He is working for the most cratic
and cold.blooded head in the game.
Baker Is rapidly making his club and
himself joke by the way he fires

We had to pinch ourselves when
William F. decided to turn Pat Moran
loose. 1t was Moran who made his
team a winner in 1915. He was pop
ular with the fans and the players.
Baker sold the teams stars under
Pats nose. Moran was making the
most of the material he had. But one
day it was announced he had resigned.
Then Baker signed Jack Coombs,
veteran hurler, who helped Connie
Mack's White Elephants write base

Coonbs would be given every oppor-
tunity' to make the team success.

One incident he cites IS typical Of
the conditions Baker imposes on his
managers and players.
On the last western trip OF the
team the jinx got busy with the club
and several of the players were Grip
pied by spike wounds, etc. Twenty
eight dollars were spent for tape and
bandages to bind up the wounds sc
the players-or most Of them-could
stay in the game.
When the team returned home
Baker told Coombs the players would
have to pay for their own tape in
the future, Coombs says.
Coombs tells how he often pointed
out the weak spots in his club and
suggested ways Of Strengthening it
but not one of his suggestions was
carried out.
1t is known by everyone that Baker
made no attempt to bolster the club
since he disposed of Alexander, Kill

stars.
