HEALTHFUL YIGOR

Rich. Red Flood Built Up BY Pepto
Mangan-Liquid or Tablet

Blood is strong and full of life
giving vigor when there a.e plenty Of
red cells i'll it. Anaemic people have
little strength because there are not
enough red cells in the blood. 1t is
thin and watery. Weak blood makes
faces pale, pulls down the strength
and leaves the body tired, weak, and
sickly.
A course in GUIDES Pepto- -Mangan
restores weak blood to its normal
strength. Taken regularly for a
while it adds red cells to the blood
Then with good blood, the strength
and vigor Of health return. There
is pleasure in living, with good blood
running through the veins. GUIDES

Two fine playing fields may be
taken from the city eandlot series
shortly. Efforts are being made to
obtain the Knickerbocker diamond in
the Georgetown hollow to stage .
carnival. and the field at Tenleytown
is about to be overhauled.
The Christ Church Society diamond
on the Union Station plaza has been
repaired following the staging there
of a carnival and is now in fairly
good condition. The Shamrock field
at Fourteenth street and Potomac
avenue southeast, where many base
ball battles have been staged in the
last fifteen years, has become less
attractive with the erection Of row
of houses in centerfield.
The field at Seventeenth and ID
streets southeast, for many years
one OF the best in the city, could
be used, but would require consider.
able work to put II in first class
shape. The old backstop long since
has been torn down. In the old
days many scrap occurred over
possession of this field.

in the midget series went to the chair
man yesterday and shed real tears
while complaining that an opposing
team has taken the collection and

A meeting OF the executive com
mittee tomorrow night is likely to
leave Chairman Haas with light
ened burden. All the protests will be
given consideration and several rules
interpreted more clearly for the con.
testants.
Rule Interpreted.
Considerable MISUNDERSTANDING ex-
lists regarding Rule which deals
with the eligibility Of players. The
Interpretation of this rule made at
each meeting of the different classes
was that a player must have taken
part in five games, in the case Of
pitchers, two games, but not necessar-
lily to have played the whole of each
game.
Haas has been busy during the last
two days changing schedules Of the
various classes. Changes have been
made necessary by trouble over play
ing fields. The contesting teams are
urged to watch these columns daily
for announcements. al
Scorers Of the various teams are re-
quested to be more prompt in turning

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-THE law and
not fights or matrimony is the cause
of Jack Dempsey's desertion of Colo
radios trout streams for New York
The heavyweight champion left here
night In Chicago.
Jack said he had been asked by
Manager Jack Kearns to come to New

in which the champion is involved. He
said he knew nothing about any plans
for a match with Jess Willard and en-
phatically denied that he is to marry
any of the several women who have
been mentioned as his future bride,
The champion spiked the story that
he had declared Georges Carpenter
would beat Tommy Gibbons when
they met. Never having seen Gibbons
fight, he said, he could not make such
g prediction.
