Il You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
It is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
Of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
implies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
"A prominent druggist says take fo9
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation have sold for many years
and never hesitate t. recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many Of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has SO large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony Of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
SO many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

Jim Barnes Is Forced to
 the Limit by Cecil Leitch

New York, october 2S.-The super female of the links forced super male golfer to unwonted heights to surpass her in their championship match here today.
 James Barnes, national open cham pion, defeat ted Miss Cecil Leitch, wom- an champion of Great Britain, France and Canada, by and l, in an ex- hibition match in which he granted her six bisbques. Under this hand leap he played such remarkable golf that he made the 6.4l9-yard course in 6S, six strokes under par and four under the previous course record set by himself. Miss Leitch had medal score of S2, the best a woman had ever done on the course, three strokes under the card that won the qualify ing medal in the recent woman's na ticnal championship.
 Defeats Miss Stirling.
 Miss Leitch played Barnes in the afternoon after defeating Miss Alexa Stirling, former national champion by up. The English woman's card ir the morning was six strokes high CT than her record in the afternoon.
 Barnes would have won by six and four in a handicap match. but the six bisque handicap, a form of play in which Miss Leitch frequently engages with professionals, was al great obstacle for him to overcome. It meant that Miss Leitch could elect at any green, after the butts were sunk, to subtract from her strokes for tho hole one or any of the strokes advantage permitted her for the match. She usually took a bisque won.
 Two Up On Turn.
 At the turn Barnes, having played in one under par, was 2 up on actual play. but the match 1was even, be- cause Miss Leitch used two of her bisques to halve two holes which he had played in one under par. Barnes had one eagle and six birdies. he played nine holes in par and two in one over par. He went out in 36, one under par. and came home in 32, five under par. While the match ended at the seventeenth green, the bye hole was played to permit the record A tee shot out of bounds at the third hole cost him a six, one over par, and at tho par four sixth his long drive bounded back from a hill, requiring him to play his sec ond shot ahead of Miss Leitch's for the first and only time in the match His second left him with a bad lie near a stone wall. just off the green
 On Wrong Green.
 On the way home Barnes had an eagle three and three birdies. He missed an eagle two at the home green by a hair. He might have had birdie instead of par five at the seventeenth except for the fact that he evidently played his second shot to the eighth green, which adjoins the seventeenth.
 | The feature of his work was his drives, which were from 50 to 1OC yards longer than the efforts of the I female Babe Ruth of the tee. His

BAsEBALL IN THE FIFTIEs

Al Iuui 1ndpuidH, III Leslie $.
 The first convention of baseball
 players was held in 1857. For l2
 years the amateur teams had been
 playing more or less "on their own"
 so far as rules were concerned. Out
 side of New England there was 8
 general disposition to follow, with
 varying degrees of faithfulness, the
 rules adopted by the Knickerbocker
 club in 1S45. But New England had
 it's own variation of the game, which it did not give up until after the first
 convention. The game was played
 on a square instead of a diamond, the
 batsmans s position being between the first and fourth base The batsman ran around, beginning at A and fin- ishing at D in order to register a tally. Basemen were stationed Ion or near each base" and four-foot stakes were used instead of bags for the runner to touch. The other players, who might number up to IA, were stationed "in different parts of the field. to pass the ball to the thrower when it had been knocked by the striker
 l In the New England game, if a base runner, before he had touched the home ground" was hit by a ball thrown by one of the opposing side, Inc was considered out. One out was side out' This hitting the base runner with the ball was. of course,
 clinging remnant of the various
 games of ,"old cat" which have been mentioned as among the contributing clements to baseball as it is now known. One hundred taIlies consti- tuted game in the New England variation of baseball. There were three referees, "one chosen by each club and the other selected by them. . The New England game was played throughout that section of the coun- try, the chief matches figuring on Boston Common. The Green Noun tains and the Olympics Of Boston were leading clubs
 After the standardzlng of the rules, and the general adoption of what was known as the New York game baseball progressed rapidly in popular favor. Some sturdy teams were developed in all parts of the country The better known teams were the Atlantics (the Spalding col lection includes an Atlantic score book of 1S60) and the Knickerbocker. Harmony, Empire, Mutual, Eckford Charter Oak, Putnam and Liberty clubs. Elysian Fields, Hoboken, was favorite place for these historic struggles.
 Not only were the amateur teams Threatened, owing to the lavish en- tertainments provided by the wealth fer clubs, but the betting evil soon made it's appearance. A nation that will wager on anything, from jump. ling frogs to the cratic excursions oi a housefly on a window pane, was mot slow to overlook the betting pos abilities in baseball. In the rules of 1860 this section appears; "No person engaged in a match, either as umpire. scorer or player, shall be either directly or indirectly Interested in any bet upon the game"
 The fact that the players were ann ateurs, engaged in the game for the love of the sport itself, propapiy oio more than. anything else to Keep baseball out of the gamblers hands in it's formation.
