BASH BALL.
Eiisworth's Winning Streak Re-
mains Unbroken.

"orths winning Streak Re-
mains Unbroken.
Ellsworth baseball team continued its
winning streak last week, taking two
more games for total of ten in a row.
Inc club has two hard games on hand for
THIS week-to-day with the Harrington
team, with ICY" Young in the box for the
visitors, and Saturday with the Rice a.
Miller team of Bangor, which won the
first game with Ellsworth.
WEDNESDAYS GAME.
Ellsworth fans thought the home team
was counting defeat when it invited the
fast Bangor A. A. team to come here for
game, and when the visitors arrived
with team strengthened by three men
OF the Easterns, Bangor's strongest base
ball aggregation, it looked as il thew
meant to give Ellsworth whaIlopinp
such as they have administered to most
OF the small-town teams they have played.
But they didn't. Ellsworth's big sticks
turned the trick, though the fielding by
the home team was pretty ragged.
Ellsworth found the two Bangor
pitchers easily. Sturtevant, the second
man up, raped out two Dagger, stole
third prettily, and scored on Linnehan's
single. A single by Fortier scored
Linnehan. Ellsworth stock went I'D.
Jordan pulled Ellsworth out of a tight
hole in the second inning, striking out
three men in a row, with the bases full.
That is one of the features of Jordan's
pitching-lack of "nerves" in tight places.
And he always keeps the tether on his
"goat."
Bangor took temporary lead in the
fourth inning, scoring three men, but
Ellsworth duplicated this in its half of
the same inning, and increased ITS lead to
three in the fifth. Bangor again took the
lead in the eighth inning, but in its half
OF the same inning Ellsworth jumped on
Heal, the Eastern pitcher who had re-
lieved Kanally in the xth, and pounded
him out Of the box. Following is COM

SATURDAYS GAME.
Ellsworth almost threw away Satur-
days game by horse play. This is not the
kind Of playing that Ellsworth fans ar e
supporting the team for, and it is not the
kind Of playing that keeps the team on
tiptoes when it is up against hard prop
osition. Play ball.
The Cherryfield team was late in arriv-
ing Saturday, and was then short two
men. The places were filed by G. For
tier and Tilden OF Ellsworth's substitute
list.
The visitors started with two runs in
the first, while Ellsworth scored but one.
In the second inning, eight Ellsworth
men reached the home fireside, and then,
with the score go, Ellsworth let go, it
looked so easy. Cherryfield gradually cut
down Ellsworth's lead, and when the
Ellsworth team tried to pull itself to.
gether in the final innings, it found it was
not so easy. Cherryield tied the score
IN the ninth inning, and the game went
an extra inning.
Linnehan struck out, Joy singled,
Johston was out at first, and then
Fortier's single brought In Joy and the
winning run. Following is a complete

HOPE FOR
QUICK SETTLEMENT
Confident That They VIII Be
Given Wage Raise Be-
fore Aug. /.

Local leaders Of the Shop Federated
Crafts are hopeful that an agreement
between the general officers of the
union n Of the railway administra-
ton may be reached and the proposed
strike set for Aug, l avoided. The
question OF a raise in wages for shop
men has been pending for several
months, and 1t was only to get action
on the matter at once that the decision
TO strike was made, 1t is believed that
the matter will be settled Monday when
Walker D. Hines, director general,
again takes up the matter for consider
alton.
That the raise IN wages will be
granted, there is little doubt among
local shopmen, who point out that rail-
way crafts continued at their work
throughout the period of the war at the
oid scales of pay, ranging from as to
6S cents per hour, while their fellow
workmen at the shipyards and In pri-
yate industries we're being paid fraAn
80 cents to over 81 per hour, with gem
erous bonuses for overtime. At the
present scale the shopmen are getting
little better than common labor is be-
ing paid It is claimed. The crafts in
VOWED in h wage conferences are the
macAinists, boilermakers, electricians,
steamfitters, blacksmiths, sheet metAi
workers n railway carmen. The max
mum wage now paid these Crafts Is 6S
cents per hour, 1t is claimed. The men
are asking for a scale ranging from DO
to IS cents per hour.
shopmeh Is acknowledged by the rail-
road administration, it is said, but
Tong delays in adjusting the matter
forced the union to .call q strike in or

GAS IN THE STOMACH
IS DANGEROUS
An indication OF Serious
Stomach Disturbances.
How to Overcome.

Gas and wind In the stomach accom-
panied by that full, bloated feeling after
eating are almost certain evidence of
the presence Of excessive h~ydrochloric
acid in the stomach, creating so-called
"acid Indigestion"
Acid stomachs are dangerous because
too much acid irritates the delicate
lining of the stomach, often leading to
gastritis accompanied by serious
stomach ulcers. Food ferments and
sours, creating the distressing gas
which distends the stomach and ham
pers the normal functions of the vital
internal organs, often affecting the
heart.
1t is the worst Of folly to neglect
such a serious condition or to treat
with ordinary digestive aids which have
no neutralizing effect On the stomach
acids. Instead, get a small package OF
Bis-Mag tablets from any druggist and
take two tablets in a quarter glass OF
water right after eating. This will drive
the gas, wind and bloat right out of the
body. sweeten the stomach, neutralize
the excess acid and prevent it's forma-
ton and there is no soreness or pain.
Bis-Mag tablets are a safe, harm
less and inexpensive compound of Bis
muth and Magnesia and are used by
thousands OF people who enjoy Their
meals with no more fear of Indigestion,

T~enneSSee'S Mountain
Of Pure Zinc

@~ HERE has been discovered in Hancock county, III East Tennessee, the
greatest body of high quality pure zine ore ever found on the American
continent. It is a veitable mountain range Of zine, so "loaded" with
this valuable metal that it fairly crops out on the slopes Explorations have ab-
soutety proven the lode the largest deposit OF zine ore yet discovered on the
Western Hemisphere. We have a blanket vein that extends through these hills for
q distance of not less than sever miles. The tract comprises more than $4,000
acres and il has been stated by experts that within five years time East Tennessee
vail have become the greatest inc producing territory in the world. The SOUTH
LAND EXPLORATION COMPANY holdings he in the san strata AS the hold
igs of the American Znc Company, recognized as the largest individual produc-
ers OF zinc in the world. They secure their ore by deep shaft mining, and their
ore runs around 5 per cent in metallic zinc. The SOUTHLAND EXPLORA-
TON C0MPANYS holding is simply a quaryng proposition, and more than 30
analyses made on its ore show metallic zinc averaging nearly Is per cent, and
free from lead, copper and cadmium. The company has two mountain ranges of

ASHLAND DEFEATS DANIELSON
 IN FIRST GAME OF SERIES

In the Bijou at Jewett City Thursday night Ashland defeated DanielSon by the score of 30-14s This game was one of the toughest ever played on the home floor. This was not due to the Ashland players. as the majority of fouls called were on the visitors. A crowd Of about 400 attended this game and at frequent periods most of the crowd as well as the players were pull ing off little boxing bouts for the benefit of t.1"ir nearest neighbor. In fact, there should be no complaint that this game was not fast enough to suit the most particular fan. Benjamin played a fine game for ,Tewett City, getting : goals and holding his own and a little bit more in the skirmishes Barry for Ashland also played exccp- tionally we'll caging baskets, al though the DanielSon guard was at his elbow most of the time. Jeffers at guard played his best game this sea son, as did Harris, the former holding Reddy, DanielsOH's star forward, score less and Harris held Elliott to one basket. For DanielsOn, Caffney play ed the best as well as the cleanest game, getting five baskets
