FOR TORPID LIVER
Tennessee Lumberman Talks of His Successful Use of lack-Draught
 for Colds and Headaches.

Jamestown, Tenn.-"I have used Thedfords Black-Draught for years, in fact 1t is the only liver medicine that does me any good says MT. l.. A. Ragan, well-known lumberman of this place. When l was single, used it for headaches. and especially If I get a cold and feel feverish, take a good dose of Black-Draught, and 1t sets me right.
 Since I have been married, I have used 1t in my family, and never have found It's equal for torpid liver or dis arranged stomach, especially with children. I can recommend Black Draught, and gladly do so."
 Every member of the family occa- sionalfy needs the assistance that Black-Draught can give, in helping to cleanse the system and relieve or pre- vent the troubles that come from a lazy, torpid liver.
 If your liver is not doing its duty, YOU may suffer with headache, constt- patton, biliousness. indigestion, etc. Unless Oelief is obtained. serious sick ness may result. In its long and sue cessful use, Thedford's Black-Draught has been found in thousands of cases to relieve such disorders, by stimulat- ing the liver to do its important work.
 Ask for Thedford's Black-Draught, and insist on the genuine. NCe1Sy

I'aratory to playing the third game

Baltimore's impressive comeback in

dropping the first game Wednesday
by IS to 1 placed the International
League champions on even terms
with Louisville.
Officials of the Louisville club hope
for a capacity attendance today and
Sunday. The slim crowds which
turned out for the first two games
were big disappointments. The total
attendance for the two games was
6.562. and the total receipts $S,434.7S.
The attendance Of $3.50 yesterday
was even smaller than the opening

To be sure the Giants had scored
four runs before Quinn was yanked,
but II the slaughter could have
been stopped there the cause of the
American Leaguers would have been
by no means helpless. The dynamite
Of the Yankee bats has exploded
more than one pitcher in latc in
ming.
McGraw Guessed Right.
There may be arguments over the
way Higgins handled his pitchers,
but McGraw certainly made the right
guess when he drafted Jess Barnes.
The slender right handler had the
goods. McGraw. of course, really
had no other choice. Barnes showed
enough stuff yesterday to earn the
right to start game. His fast
ball carried enough puzzling hops
to intoxicate the Yankee batsmen
and his sharp breaking curves curled
and snapped over the plate with beau
tiful precision.
Barnes has not had a very success
full season. He hardly earned the
right to start in the big series But
that's all over now. McGraw will
see that the Yankees get Barnes
again.
Quinn again demonstrated that he
cannot guarantee effectiveness over
the long route. Many old ball players
who are exporting" on this series
regarded the veteran moist ball pitcher
as dark horse. They thought he car.
ried the stuff to break the backs Of
the Giants. Maybe be does, but after
he had stepped along with Barnes for
three innings he suddenly collapsed
and was given severe flogging.
The Giants are good hitters OF
course. But they were hitting cripples
In that seventh inning. Quinn had
little and Collins had less. The latter
has probably pitched his last ball for
Higgins In this series.
All things considered the Giants now
carry the edge In pitching. Douglas
and Neff may not outpitch Mays and
Hoyt, but In Barnes the National
Leaguers have found third good man.
Shawkey and Quinn have Topped for
the Yankees and Harper is an I'M
known factor.
II the Giants can even UP the series
today they start the new desl with
excellent prospects.
