HEARTBURN AND

Heartburn is simply an indication of

gas In the stomach. The throat becomes
the chimney of: the. stomach through
which some of the poisonous gas escapes
giving 4one n foul breath ana causing
great pain at times. Usually where Cone

is found that the sufferer is greatly con

the number of women who suffer from
indigestion and constipation and espec-

family remedy that quickly regulates and
restores them to health IL they will just

From Muskegon, Mich, Mrs. GrignOn
tells us that she was n great sufferer
that after eating, gas would form in her
stomach, giving her heartburn and stom-
ach pains until she could not sleep.
Sometimes the gas distended her so that
she had terrible pains In the shoulder
blades and around the heart. Then from
less than one full bottle she found such
quick and certain relief that she slept
soundly, ate anything she wished with
out discomfort and had no return of the

AN tMB|DEX7ROUs
PITCHER TO WORK
mt. Vernon Has 'Hurler Who
Can Throw Well With
Either Arm

When the Mt. Vernon.Grove iCity
game is tcalled at;Athlatic park next
Sunday aftern0h the local fans will
soc an .ambidertrous pitcher on the
mound working for Mt. Vernon. This
is something that many have read
about But seldom or never have seen
in aetion.
The gent who filings with equal ia.
cility with the right or left paw is
named Miller. He is q Mt. Vernon
product. Moreover, he has the goods,
otherwise the smoke.
Last Sunday Miller worked in part
OF the game against Delaware giving
an exhibition to the fans of his abili.
ty't to deliver the ball with either hand.
The fans had begun to lose interest
and some of them were leaving the
park when Miller went on the mound
and began throwing iem over both
ways.
This performance had the effect of
reviving interest and the crowd stay.
ed to see Miller work the rest of the
game.
With Miller the use of either arm in
throwing comes with natural ease.
With him it is not an acquired art.
There are but few pitchers in the his
tory of the national game who have
been known because of their ability
to hurl the pellet from either side.

event to decide the national cham
pionship, this affair being held in
Atlantic City next month. Owing
to the close proximity of the place
in which this gala event of the year

many of the crack shots in this vi

opportunity to compete against the
best shots in the country.

Shipyard Nine To Be
Bo|Stered For Game
In Railway Tonight

With a bolstered lineup, Wesley
Wilson will lead his Perth Amhoy
Dry Dock representative nine on
Riverside Field in Railway tonight
in an effort to down the colors of
tbs Railway Stars in the third game
of a twilight series.
The Dry Dock nine was defeated
in the first W. games by 4-3 and
81 scores. Both games were prac-
tically handed to the Union county
organization, made up of the leading
players of Railway and vicinity. A
five-Game series was arranged and ii
the Stars win tonight, the series will
be ended.
Manager Wilson has made an ef-
fort to secure a pitcher and 1t Is
probable that two or three other rev
men will be in his lineup when
when the game starts tonight. Fill
Campbell. regular backstop of The
team, has played his last two garles
with injuries, and 1t is probable he
viii remain out of the contest to-
night.
Lack of hitting in pinches has bsen
ono of the reasons why the local IN
dustrial team finished on the low
end of the score in the first two
games, so that it is possible a couple
of good stickers will added to the
Dry Dock roster for this game.

Amboy Representative Team
Drops Contest to Tiretown
Outfit Saturday

John Harrington's Knights Of Co.
1umbus baseball team with a some
what crippled lineup, Travelled to
Midtown on Saturday afternoon and
in a game with the Michelins, were
away off form. The tiretown out
fit registered a 10 to S victory.
The Caseys were satisfied to ac-
cept a defeat inasmuch as they a
a real off day. while the home play
ers apparently were at their best.
Manager Christ. however, pulled a
small trick when he cut the guaran-
tee of the visiting aggregation. The
Amboy players went to Midtown IN
tent on giving the best that was in
them. and according to Amboy fans
who were at the game, tried their
best throughout.
Wood, who has been pitching good
ball for the Caseys, had an Off day
and the defense of the Caseys was
somewhat weaker than usual. While
Wood was being hit hard. Lance
succeeded in holding the Amboy
players safe throughout. The visi-
tors only rally came in the eighth
inning when four runs crossed the
pan.
Crabiel made a homer with two on
for Michelin, and Lins and Lance
were caught at the plate trying to
stretch hits. Leahy olouted out a
homer for the visitors in the eighth
inning.
It is not likely that these two
teams will meet again this season.
although 1t was at first believed that
a series would be arranged between
the two aggregations.
