There is a lot of truth as to the
value of a good left-handed pitcher.
A club that is without a southpaw
is always at the mercy OF the oppo-
sition, as far as left-handed bat
ters are concerned. 1t is known
fact that left-handed batters don't
do very we'll against southpaws.
Clubs that had a number sof left
handed batters in the lineup had
nothing to fear when facing Cleve-
land, as the Indians could offer
nothing but right-handers in the
way of pitching. When a pinch
pitcher was necessary, it never could
be left-hander to puzzle the oppo-
sititon, because Cleveland had moth
ing to offer.
Cleveland, like lot OF other ball
clubs, had a chance to get Pitcher
Dick Kerr last year. The little fel-
low concluded that he was big
Lacquer or nothing and delivered
that ultimatum to Manager Rowland
of the Milwaukee club, who tried to
peddle him to at least a half dozen
clubs, but it was always the same
story, Kerr is too small to make
the grade"
1t is an easy matter to figure what
the acquisition of Kerr would have
meant to the Cleveland club. Chi
cago took a chance on him and it

You Must Drive 1t Out of the

kerchief is another way of say
ing that Catarrh is an ailmeqt
that we owe to civilization and
the effects of modern life. Ca
tarrh is not a disease like
pneumonia or typhoid fever.
Catarrh is caused by impure
blood, laden with irritating
and poisonous matter acting
upon cells lining the nasal pas
sages and throat, that have al
ready been inflamed, irritated
and caused to overwork, by
exposure to dust, dirt, sudden
changes of temperature, ab-
normal dryness of the air and
germs. Catarrh cannot be
cured by spraying or DOUGH-
ing the nose and throat. The
unhealthy condition of the
blood must be overcome, puri-
fled and restored to a healthy
condition.
You must realize that the
disease itself, and not its
symptoms, is what you have to
cure. Of course, you know
that when you are cured Of
any disease its symptoms will
disappear.
'Catarrh manifests itself by
inflammation of the delicate
membranes of the nose and air
passages, which choke up and
make breathing difficult. To
get rid of these distressing ef-
fects you must remove their
rause. y
The blood is laden with the
Catarrh germs, which direct
their attack against the tender

its unhealthy state-then you

the dripping in the throat,
hawking and splitting, raw
sores in the nostrils, and the
disagreeable bad breath. It
was caused, in the first. place,
because your impoverished

suffer with Catarrh-it is not
necessary. The re m e d Y,
