DOVER MAY QUIT
THE SHORE LEAGUE
fcontinued from first page)

must sacrifice the pennant, since four
pitchers cannot possibly carry a
schedule of two games Monday, one
game Tuesday, one game Wednesday,
two games Thursday, and one game
today with from seventy to over a
hundred mile bus jumps each day ana
be effective against the teams in this
weeks schedule, all of whom are at
the present time in the first division,
lust to help the finances of President
Thawley's home town team.
Letters and kilograms have been
produced to show that President
Thawley, as late as letter dated Au-
gust 9th. confirming a verbal agree
ment had on the Srd, stipulated that
Dover should play a single game at
Dover with Crisfield on the 18th and
a "double header" at Crisfield on the
Goth. Yet, as late as the 18th, Presl-
dent Boyer, of the Dover Club, recelV-
ed a wire from President Thawley
stating in substance that ''for best in
terests. it is ordered that games
scheduled for Crisfield for goth be
plaved on the 18th and game schedul-
ed, Dover 18th, be played Dover ZoIn'
etc. To this, President Boyer, OF the
Dover Club, seriously objected ana
late Saturday night President ThaW-
Law came back with his wire that the
change was made for "best interests
and must be complied with.
Directors Quit
Nearly every man, woman and child
interested in baseball in lower Della
ware is asking the question and then
answering each other that the best
interests" referred to by President
Thawley must have been the pest IN
terests" of some teams in the league
other than the baby of organized Dase-
ball, the Dover team.
Director Hope of the Dover organ1-
cation, a prominent Dover attorney
has resigned and in so doing sent a
letter to President Thawley that he
did not care to be associated with an
organization which had one set OF
rules for all clubs except one, and a
different set of rules for that one club
Several other officials contemplate
taking the same course and it is gen
erallv predicted that though Dover is
drawing wonderful crowds and hold
ing the record average attendance ID
the league, she will probably disband
before the end of the season.
It was because of a ruling OF Pres
ident Thawley which took all hope OF
Milford winning the pennant away
that the Milford Club quit the league
The directors of the Milford Club took
the stand that they did not desire to
have Milford represented in the league
so long as its present directors were
at the head of the organization. Fol
weeks Milford fans have been predict
ing that Dover would run against q
bad deal before the season ends. This
has been the feeling in Milford where
all fans have been roofing for Dover
to win the pennant, and this weeks
are-up seemingly confirms it.

was the director. Plentiful evidence
OF the Borzage touch is evident in
the production, while the work of the
admirably selected cast is splendid.
The story deals with the problems
OF a young American, Don Mike Far
rel, who upon returning from service
with the American Army of Occupa-
ton finds the family ranch virtually
in the hands of foreigners.
Don Mike finds that the head of the
opposing forces, man named Parker,
is the father of the girl he loves.
Making the struggle that follows
harder for him, is Parker's announce
ment that he will fight Mike to the
limit for the ranch. There is love,
sacrifice, hatred, bluff, in fact about
all the different kinds of emotion to
be found in the picture.

HELP KIDNEYS
BY DRINKING
MORE WATER,
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys and
Help Neutralize Irritating
Acids.

| Kidney and bladder irritations often
result from acidity, says noted au-
thority. The kidneys help filter this
acid from the blood and pass it on to
the bladder, where it may remain to
irritate and inf1ame, causing a burn
Ing, scalding sensation, or setting up
an irritation at the neck of the bIad-
der, obliging you to seek relief two
or three times during the night The
sufferer is in constant dread; the
water passes sometimes with scald-
ing sensation and is very profuse;
again, there is difficulty in avoiding
it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call it
because they can't control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and
sometimes very painful, this is often
one of the most simple ailments to
overcome. Begin drinking lots of soft
water, also get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take a tablespoonful in glass Of
water before breakfast. Continue this
for two or three days. This will help
neutralizs the acids in the system so
they no longer are a source of irrita-
ton to the bladder and urinary organs,
which then act normal again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, and is
made from the acid of gri\,es and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
is used by thousands ~ folks who are
subject to urinary disorders caused by
acid irritation Jad Salts causes no
bad effects whatever
Here you have pie mt, efferves-
cent lithia- water drink which may
quickly relieve your bladder irritation
By all means have your physician ex-
anime your kidneys at least twice a
year. To be obtained at Corner Drug

ceive consideration from the famous

ELIZABETH MCCOY is BITTEN
BY CAT

Elizabeth Mccoy, little daughter
Of Mrs. and Mrs. H. A Mccoy was
bitten by a cat which she had be.
friended Monday evening. The cat
which was about half grown was a
maltese, it came to the Mccoy home
early in the afternoon and after il
had been given some milk went to
sleep. About a o'clock, Elizabeth
thinking it belonged to the Ernest
children, picked up the cat and start
ed to take it home. AS she did so it
fastened it's claws in her wrist and
it's teeth in her finger.
It was necessary to choke the cal
and pry it's mouth open before the
teeth could be removed from the fin
ger. Elizabeth was rushed to Phil
ippi where she is taking the Pasteur
treatment. The cats head was re-
moved and sent to Charleston to as
certain if it had hydrophobia.
A telegram was received late to-
day stating that the cat had rabies
or hydrophobia. The little girl will
be taken to Philippi again and may
be on to Clarksburg and Baltimore
for treatment.
