GOES
TO MOTHER FIRST

CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 13.-The
demonstration which marked the
final putout of Myers and clinched
the championship for the Indians
surpassed any similar scene in sew
eral seasons. Thousands of men,
boys and women poured out of the
bleachers and stands and simply en-
quilted the victorious players like a
human avalanche. 1t was a continu-
Gus battle for the members of the
team In their march toward the dug
out, each step being taken slowly
with scores of fans endeavoring to
shake their hands or pat them on the
back.
iris Speaker sensing the coming
outburst Of enthusiasm, made a dash
for center field toward the grand
stand where his mother and other
relatives occupied a lower box. His
progress was slow, but once he
reached the rail he vaulted over the
iron front and into his mothers arms
like small schoolboy. The scene
was so unusual that for a moment
there was a complete cessation Of
the cheering which, however broke
out with renewed vigor when Mrs.
Speaker Rugged, patted and kissed
her grayhaired son and the latter
responded in a manner which indi-
Gated that he regarded his mothers
approval and petting far above any
other rewards that might come to
him as result of the victory of his
team in winning the greatest honor
that can come to a professional base
ball player.
When Speaker finally left his
mothers side and started for the
clubhouse, he was fairly besieged by
requests to shake hands and auto
graph programs and photographs.
When he finally disappeared into the
passageway of dressing quarters, the
crowds swept back to the grand
stand where they cheered and de-
manded a speech from the mother Of
the popular player manager. Mrs.
Speaker met the demands Of the
fans by waving her hand and was
soon Joined by Owner James c..
Dunn Of the club, who addressed the
throng for her. During the height
of the demonstration Charles Ebbets,
of the Brooklyn club, crossed the
field and congratulated the executive
of the winning team. Then the
throngs slowly dispersed to discuss
at their leisure the successful climax
of Cleveland's 40-year battle for a
major league pennant and a world's
series banner.

but to look around you at the
numerous helpless victims Of
Rheumatism to confirm this
statement. Ask any of them
and they will tell you that no
matter how much liniment they
use, each season again finds
them in the grip of the disease.
Do you want to have the
same experience? Or are you
willing to take advantage of a
treatment that has been sue
cessfully used by many vic
Tins?
Many cases Of Rheumatism
are due to a tiny germ in the
blood, which multiplies by the
million and carries its pains to
different parts Of the body
Such cases must be treated
through the blood, and the dis
ease germs eradicated before
the disease can be conquered.
This is why S,S.S., the fine
old blood remedy, has given
such satisfactory results in the
treatment OF Rheumatism. 1t
is such a thorough blood clean
ser that it removes all foreign
substance from the circulation
thus clearing it Of the germs
that cause the disease.
