The management of the NutmegS football eleven, has booked d fast game for tomorrow afternoon, when the speedy Emerald A. C. griddcrS of Naugatuck, will be the attraction. The game will be played on the Scy- mOur Park gridiron. The boys from tho Rubber Town are coming here with a reputation of being one of tho best in that vicinity of the state. While they do not measure up as d heavy eleven, their sped is their strongest factor.
 The locals have put in busy week Tn preparation for the game. The contest with the An-Hartford eleven last Sunday shows that the locals are again to be considered one of the best bets for the state championship The management is constantly bOlstering up any position that has looked weak in the past, and all of he players are working hard to strengthen their hold on their positions.
 SchrOedcl, former star of the Fig CTS has been added to the NutmegS team, and will play fullDack. Gilbert, an old lineman for the green jerSeycd boys, is back in harness again, and his presence should materially aid in the line strength. The changing Of Tint from center to tackle worked well in last Sundays game, and with Winingcr, his side mate, make strong pair of tackles. Zehrer, Bon enfant and Delaney, are showing well at center. koploWitz, the former High school star and Grey arc taking care of the end positions in an ad- mirable manner.
 The backtield string are fast set of plunging griddors, and they are also showing speed in each game. They are kenney, Andrews, Coyle, SChrodel, Smith and Bayer. Captain Scott is living up to the expectations of his friends displaying the old "pep' and dash, that made for him the reputation in former NoarS of being one of the fastest Uuarterbacks playing in the Nutmeg state.

SHUGRUE AND COHEN
Matchmaker Jack RcinaS Has Signed Two Clever Boys For His Coming Boxing Exhibition.

Matchmaker Jack Reinas of the Hardware City A. c. has closed nego- tiations with the managers of Johnny Shugruc of Waterbury and Sapper Cohen, of Bridgeport, to appear in the star bout of 10 rounds in the eX- hibitiOn to be held about October 16. Both of these boys mixed it up on the occasion of the opening boxing show here July 3l, and their work caused joy in the hearts of all boxing fans. Matchmaker ReinaS, was at the helm on that occasion, and it can be said for the show, that it was sec ond to none ever held in this vicinity, with everybody pleased with the re- suit. The show was in marked con- traSt to the second affair conducted here, and which did not do the game any good, locally.
 MT. Rcinas is at work arranging the remainder of the card. He has lines out for a good Scmi-final bout and there will also be a siX-round and a four-round bout. It is probable that Bill Sweeney, the local boy, who looks like d clever boy, will be on the card.

The ball then took it's time in rolling to the outtield. lt looked as though Neale might have shown moro speed in coming in for the hit rather than letting the hit go out to him. His throw to the plate to get Felsch was good, but a moment late. Had he thrown it aNmomcnt sooner it would have cut off d run.
 Then in the fourth, that same busy fourth, Itisberg cracked a hit to right which should have been held to a sin gle, but Neale played it poorly and It rolled by him for three bases.

SoX Try the Squeeze Play.

The SoX then tried the squeeze play. Schalk bunted the first pitch as Rls- berg came tearing in, and the ball Spurtcd from Fisher for an inticld single, the SWedo scoring without a play being made at either home or first base The ball should have been handled by Fisher, and he showed his annoyance when it got away from him.
 Joe Jackson is keeping up his ter rife humping. Joseph failed to do anything tO Ruethcr in the first game, but he has been giving Moran's pitch CTS some pretty rough treatment since. He got two more hits yesterday. glV- ing him five in his last seven times up. Hap Fclsch, his fellow clean up man, has not yet whacl<ed his way into the hit column, though Hap has been hit ting in horrible luck.
 It looked as though Gleason used bad judgment in not letting Jackson hit in the third inning. Ed Collins opened the inning by lining single over kopf s head, and on the hit and run Weaver cleavcd a single to center. Roush's fast fielding held Collins at second.
 Jackson t!. on was ordered to sacrl- flee, and he bunted d little fly over Fishers head. It looked for mo- mcnt as though it would fall safe, but Daubert charged across the inheld and took the ball on the fly about four feet in front of SCCold base. FelSch hot shot to Groh was then converted into a double play. Heinic certainly doesn't show any bad effects from that broken finger.

 Pitches NithouC Effort.
 As far as he was concerned there was no worlds series on Kerr pitched without any effort and with- out Wctting the ball or shining if on his trousers. There was no CamOu- tlage or subterfuge to his delivery. He just served it up as it came from the factory and lost no time between his pitches. The entire game was reclcd off in an hour and a half 1t being the fastest worlds series ever played.
 Kerr hasn't the stuff or speed of Williams. But he has control, and Chicago nl&n say he is one Of the smartest pitchers in the game today even though he has been playing ma jor league ball only a year. Like C1- cotte, he pitches largely with his head" and his splendid control on abled him to pitch to the weaknesses Of the Cincinnati batSmcn.
 Seldom did he let batters get him In the hole. He whipped the first ball across the plate on almost every Red hitter, and 1t was up to the Red player to hit it or let it go for a strike.
 The Reds learned early in the game that nothing was 10 be gained in try ing to wait Dicllic out. In the third inning Kerr pitched threc successive balls 10 Raridcn. the first batter up. Then Dickie stuck over two strikes and on the next ball Raridcn rolled an easy grOunder 10 Weaver. His one lapse of control came in the fourth, when he got over only one strike on Groh in five pitched balls and Heinie drew his only base on balls.

Chicago, Ell, Oct. 4.-IittlC DiCkiC Kerr. a 1919 yearling, proved the savior of the White SoN. The Chicago pitching midget, who measures only feet ' inches in his stocking feet, yesterday hurled the greatest game ever pitched by a major league freshman in a worlds series game In blanking the Reds, National league champions, with only three hits herG yesterday, Kerr goes to the top of the class among obscure players who have Ieaped overnight to worlds sc ries fame.
 There are only three other cases in worlds series history where pitchers won worlds series games in their first year in the majors. Babe Adams in 1909, pitching recruit of the Pir- ates, won three games from Detroit in the series ten years ago; Hugh -Redient of the Red SoN beat the Giants in the 1912 series while put ting in his first year with the Boston team, and Joe Bush of the Athletics beat the Giants in 1913 in his first real year out
 Bush joined the Athletics late in 1912. Dutch Ruethcr, who beat the White SoX in the opening game of the present series last Wednesday, is starring for the first time this year, but he has been knocking around the big leagues for the last five years.
 Kerr pitched good ball out in the American association for several years without getting a tumble. TGven after the tiny left handler reported to the White SoX at their Mineral Wells training camp few persons took him seriously. Kid Gleason himself look ed at Kerr as more or less of a joke last spring. "He'S too small for a big league" the Kid frequently conhded to Chicago reporters, but just the same when Gleason began to whittlc down his squad several promising youngsters were jet out while Kerr was retained

 lots of water.

Eating meat regularly eventually pro- duces kidney trouble in some form or otlIer, says well-known authority, be- cause the uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particularly backache and mis- erv in the kidney region; rheumatic twin ges, severe headaches, acid stomach, eoh- etipation, torpid liver, slccplessness, bladder and urinary irritation.
 The moment your back hurts or kid neys aren't acting right, or if bladder bothers you, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good pharmacy; take tablespoonful in glass of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes ard lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations 10. flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity; also to neutralize the acids in the urine 50 it no longer irri- tates, thus ending bladder disorders.

Common garden sage brewed into heavy tea with sulphur added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxurlant. Just a few applications will prove 9 reyela- ton if your hair is fading, streaked or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sul- phur recipe at home, though, is trou- bIesome.

 While wispy. gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractive ness By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because 1t does it so naturally, so evenly.
