Creomulsion was made to deal with coughs and colds which hang on. A three-day cough is a danger signal. There the utmost should be done.
 But a triHing cough may develop in. ts something deep and difficult. Don't you think it wise to use the utmost help, even if lesser help might do?
 Creomulsion combines seven major helps in one. The seven best helps known to medical science. One is best for one type of cough, one for others. Nobody can tell in advance. So the best way seems to be to com. bine all in one prescription.
 Creosote stands first. Here 1t is blended, emulsi6ed and tasty. For sooth. ing membranes and combating cold germs, the world knows nothing better.

COLORADO FARMERS TURN
 ATTENTION TO TOBACCO

Longmont, Colo-(UP)-Not satisfied with letting a few bolls of cotton give a touch of Dixie to northern Colorado, a Lamont resi- dent has experimented in raising tobacco here.
 H. E. Gambler, native of Tur- key, planted small patch of Turk ish tobacco, which grew successful ly. The leaves were put through the curing process, and the results were satisfactory. Tobacco experts be- lieved the finished product will be equal to any raised in Turkey and imported.
 Farmers have expressed interest in the project, and from present indications, it is expected that nearly 50 ocres will be grown In this section fin 1882.

For Coughs Too Deep
 To Risk A Lesser Help

white pine tar, some to wild cherry bark, some to menthol. some to ipecac, etc. So we combine all these factors at their best in a single formula.
 For some coughs Creomulsion is better than you need. One of its factors might do. But don't you feel safer when a minor cough is treated in the utmost way?
 If so, get Creomulsion. It costs q little more than lesser helps. But your druggist guarantees it. He re. turns your money if you arc disap. pointed. You will feel safer in any cough If this master help combats it. Use it promptly.

'SAMPSON-ARCHIE STEAL RING SHOW
 AT LAKEWOOD
Pair Re.Matched After Six Round Thriller-Kelly Is Outclassed By Boston BOxer-ArnOld Wins

With his right hand practically lashed to his side for ten rounds, Jack Kelly of this city was easily outpointed by Tony Shucco of Bos- ton in the main boxing feature of the first outdoor show of the season at Lakewood last night, which drew about 1000 customers. After show ing some fighting ability in his train- ing bouts for the past week, Kelly went back to his natural style and did very little glove-throwing, yet when he did let loose in the second, seventh and ninth rounds he had the classy Shucco holding on and in constant worry. After the first two rounds, aside from occasional flashes in the later part of the bout, the go was decidedly uninteresting.
 A Real Fight
 Marty Sampson, in his second local showing proved the class of the evening, in winning hard six round decision from Battling Archie, a col- ored boy, who showed not only real ring ability. but courage as well, and gave Sampson a great battle right up to the finish, losing the verdict by a close margin. Samp- sen, a strong right hand puncher. got going early and had Archie on Queer Street in the second and third rounds. but the colored boy came back like a bad check. Sampson was too game for him, however, and threw too many punches. The boys were so good that they have been re-matched for the next show, on Saturday night.
 Hard Bnt Easy
 Marty Fox, the sharpsho oting New York Hebrew had the hardest job of his fistic career outpointing Un- known Winston, @ slam m-bang darky. who gave a great exhibition of talk ing and giving. Fox was pretty well marked up though he had no real trouble with the negro, smothering Winston's flashes with two long arms. Hard. clean punching, Fox's chief stock in trade, won for him easily. though the fight was hard and heavy all the way, and Marty was glad it was oyer
 Andy Strong smacked two hard shots to Hugo Tempo's middle in the first round, and Hugo promptly threw his knee out of joint, ending the fracas before 1t hardly had be- gun. Joe Arnold stopped Danny Murphy in three rounds, the bout being stopped. It was one-sided match, with Murphy doing nothing but tkaing it. Arnold looks like a good boy, but will get his real test against Andy Strong next week. Bill Conway did a nice job as referee, with Pete Shea in rare voice and Johnny Brickel watching the watch.

CARDS EASY FOR
 BRAVES TO READ
 ASDRIVE GOES ON
BY LEO H. PETERSEN

(United Press Stan Correspondent
 New York, June 13.-tUP)-- The Boston Braves threaten to ruin the 1881 pennant hopes of the St Louis Cardinals.
 After demonstrating their superi- ority over Chicago, New York and Brooklyn, regarded as their most formidable rivals, the Cardinals have faltered in their present series with the Braves and have lost three straight games. The defeats have reduced the lead of the Cardinals in the National league to two and one-half contest over the Giants and Cubs. who are tied for second. Previous to their setbacks at inals have threatened to pile up lead that other clubs could not overcome. They took three out of four from the dangerous Giants and duplicated that feat against the vastly over-rated Brooklyn Robins.
 What Happened?
 But Manager Gabby Streets crew struck snag when the Braves came along and the reverses have frightened up the National league campaign to such an extent that 1t still is a three-cornered affair be- tween St Louis. New York and Chi cago. The Braves, while not out of the running. can hardly be ex- pected to continue their pace of the last three days and probably will have difficulty in finishing in the first division.
 Some Pitcher!
 Ed Brandt registered his ninth victory yesterday as the Braves made 1t three straight. 2 to 5. The Braves knocked Burleigh Grimes out of the box in the fifth inning Cardinals got only seven blows off Brandt.
 The Cubs made 1t three in a row over Philadelphia, 2 to 4 to gain full contest on the Cardinals. Les ter Sweetland held his former team mates to ten hits.
 New York kept pace with Chicago by trimming Pittsburs, to ?. After a bad first inning, Fitzsim- mons settled down and held the Pirates safe. Mel Ott. with four hits in as many times at bat, led the Giants attack on the three Pitts burg hurlers.
 Robins Sing. Lefty Clark of Brooklyn shut out Cincinnati, 3 to o. Clark allowed eight hits but effective work in the pinches and brilliant fielding by Glen Wright enabled him to keep the Reds away from the plate.
 Philadelphia retained it's three and one-half game lead in the American league by defeating St Louis. 6 to 2. Mahaffey allowed the Browns only four hits.
 Washington kept pace with the Athletics by making 1t 3 straight over Cleveland. 2 to l. Fischer. Senator rookie, allowed eight blows In turning in his seventh victory. Wes Terrell was batted hard and retired in the fourth inning. Decisive!
 Henry Johnson pitched the New York Yankees to II to 2 decision over Chicago. Johnson allowed but four hits. Home runs by. Gehrig and Chapman brought about the downfall of McKain, the start ing White Fox hurier.
 The Det. olt Tigers continuing their losing ways and dropped , to decision to the Boston Red Sox. Russell held the Tigers 10 three hits.

Only three will start, George D. Wideners Jamestown, the Green tree Stables Twenty Grand and Katherin E. Hitt's Sun Meadow were the only colts considered wor- thy of competing in this time-hon- ored classic which is to New York what the Kentucky Derby is to the Blue Grass State.
 What a Meeting!
 Jamestown and Twenty Grand have never met, and the Belmont this afternoon at the trying distance of 8 mile and a half will provide a thorough test of the speed and starn- ina of both colts. The race has as- stunned the aspect of q two-horse affair although Sun Meadow must be given some consideration.
 Based on their records to date, the claims of Jamestown and Twen- ty Grand to the supremacy of their division are indeed impressive. Re- cent training trials show both to be in the best of condition. Sun Mead- ow, whose record is less impressive than those of his opponents. is a colt of class, and is also in good shape. The contest should be a truly run race and the name of the winner will not discredit the long list of equine nobility which comprises It's EOSbGI OL WlnhctS. V
 New Record?
 A fast track is in prospect, and 1t would not be surprising to see the track record lowered by the winner. Twenty Grand, winner of the Ken lucky Derby in new track record time, is a strong finisher and his partisans believe that over the long route of the Belmont he will prove invincible. Having been tried in ac- tive competition he has not been found wanting, and will probably go to the post the favorite of the crowd. While Jamestown has won all three q his races this year. he has had no real opposition. However. the son of St James has won with such ease on each occasion that he has never been extended. His son Joyner, feels confident his charge will capture the coveted prize em blematic of supremacy of the Swear olds.
