KENDRICK II OROFINO 10
In Twelve Inning Game. lis Good
Ball Exhibition.

In the most sensational ball game
of the season here, Kendrick defeat
ed Orofino last Sunday in 12-fn-
ming game by the score or IL to 10.
kendrick scored two runs in their
half of the first inning andOrof1no
made one run in the first and two
in the second frame and thus the
score stood until the firth, when
Kendrick, by good hitting and with
the aid of numerous errors, made
the total score 9 to 3. In the next
frame Orofino experienced a strong
batting rally and scored four more
runs. When the local boys came
up for their last chance to bat the
score stood 10 to in favor OF the
opponents. Again by good hitting
and with aid of a few wild throws
the Orofino nine tied the score.
The next three innings were
rather thrilling, both sides being
shut out from the home plate by
real good ball playing. kendrick
finally broke loose for two runs in
the first half of the tweIfth frame
and walked away with the honors.
Weather conditions We're fine, a
large crowd was in attendance, and
some real roofing and enthusiasm
was exhibited in the bleachers
While there was a number of er-
rors made by both teams. the game
proved to be good exhibition OF
ball and furnished plenty of excite
ment for those who paid to see it

 fected by New Ruling.

Washington, Feb. 24.-All work men on strike in the New York build ings trade dispute and all othed sym pathetic strikers were ordered back to work tonight under an agreement reached at conference here between representatives of the building trades association, the union and the sec retaries of war and labor.
 It was agreed that all matters in dispute would be placed before a conference committee composed of three men selected by the employers and three by the workmen. All mat ters upon which the committee failed to agree after three. days would be submitted to Judge F. H. Dugro, of New York City, whose decision would be adopted within two weeks and would be final.
 An advance in wages was the only question involved and the employers were said to have expressed a will ingness to concede an increase. The men demanded an advance of one dollar, to $6.50 a day.
 Approximately 125,00 men were involved in the strike which threaten. ed to become nationwide. It is est- mated that 90 percent of government construction would have been stopped if the strike had spread.

BETTER THAN CAL(lMEl..
Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets are
 aHar1nless Substitute.

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi. tute for calomel -- are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They are the result of Dr. Edwards determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with caomel. His efforts to banish it brought out these little olive-colored tablets.
 These pleasant little tablets do the good that calonel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or colonel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. tis best not to take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets take its place. &
 Most headaches "dullness" and that lazy feeling come from constipation and disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy" and "heavy.'e Note how they 'clear" clouded brain and how they 'perls lip" the spirits 10c and 25c box. All druggists.

named $4,000. This price was more
than Bedwell anticipated and no bargain
was struck.
Donnacona is a beautiful imported bay
by Prince Palatine and Kildonan. John
Sanford brought him to this country, and
with dozen other thoroughbreds offered
him at auction. Several horsemen bid
on him. but every bid made was topped
by Mr.. Sanford. who bought him in for
$4,000. The next day he sold him pri-
vately to Mr.. Loft for that sum.
In the spring he was the best in the
Hirsch stable. which included Constancy
the FLY which won the Spinaway, and
On Watch. But Donnacona was stricken
with a fever before he was ready to
race at his best and did not graduate
from the maiden ranks until last Sat

TWO Big SCHOOLBOY
GAMES IN BROOKLYN
Erasmus Meets Manual, While
Commercial Eleven Plays
Boys High School.

Brooklyn will be the scene Of two i'm
portant scholastic football games to-
day, when Erasmus and Manual come
together at Ei,bets Field and CONNER
cial and Boys High clash at Commercial
Field. The only other schoolboy con-
test scheduled Is that between South
Side and GleIr Cove at Rockville Centre.
l.. l., for the championship Of Nassau
county.
What should prove the best Of the
Brooklyn games Is the Erasmus-Manual
contest. These elevens are the keenest
of rivals and have been drilled specially
for this conflict. While the Buff and
Blue has made the better showing OF
the two teams so far this season and
will rule navorite, the Blue and Gold Is
expected to offer Erasmus great oppo-
sition.
The game will have a vital bearing on
the Brooklyn championship. as the win
ner no doubt will be Poly's opponent In
the bout for the title of the borough.
Many changes have been made In the
Manual lineup since it's recent defeat at
The hanlis Of Flushing. and when 1t
takes to the field to-day It will be rep
resented by its strongest battle front.
Erasmus to date has not had its goal
line crossed and has rolled up a total
OF IS points in its three contests. The
FlatbuBh boys have beaten St. John 8
Prep by 10 to 0, New Utrecht by 80 to
and Commercial by 10 to o. Manuars
only victory this season was over the
st Pauls eleven Of Garden City by 13
to 7, The Seventh avenue lads have
lost to Commercial, OF; New York MIL
itary Academy, OBS, and Flushing. 0-34.
The teams have broken even In their
dual series since 1910. Each has won
four games. while the other contest re-
suited In a scoreless tie. Manual tri-
umphed In 1911, 1912, 1913 and 1915
while Erasmuss victories came in 1910
1914. 1917 and 1918. In 1915 the con-
test was drawn.
The Boys gh-Commercial game
should result in a keen struggle. AL
though the Red and Black has the edge
on the Albany avenue lads, Boys High is
not going into the game with the idea
that II can't lose. In its FIVE contests
Boys High has won three and lost two
while Commercial in four games played
has lost two, won one and tied one.
The Marcy avenue lads have met and
| defeated st. Pauls by Is to o, Commerce
by IA to 0 and New Utrecht by 20 to O
It's two defeats were suffered at the
hands OF Yonkers and Poly Prep. Both
of these contests were lost by single
touchdowns.
Commercials only victory this season
was over the Manual Training eleven by
| Z to o. 1t held Stuyvesant to a score
less tie in its opening contest, while both
Erasmus and Poly Prep beat the Red
and Gray. Poly triumphed over the
| Albany avenue lads by &c to o, while
