LOBERT MAY LEAVE REDS i He is Anxious to Quit and Brooklyn is After Him. New York. Nov. 19. —Hans Lobert, the fast infielder of the Cincinnati club. i s another player ‘who is new spoken of as the probable manager o' the Broklyn club next season. According to a story from Cincinnati, there is a deal on between the two clubs whereby Lobert is to be traded for Hairy Lumley, the Dodger’s captain, and will be made the manager of the club, if such a deal could be put through it would be a great benefit to both clubs. Lobert is anxious to get away from Cincinnati, while Lumley is not at all satisfied with his berth on the Brooklyn club. President Ebbets had a chance earlier in the season to secure Lobert for Pitcher Mclntire, but he would not part with Handsome Harry. Now it is said that he is willing to swap Lumley for the fleet-footed German for the purpose of making him his manager.

PORTLAND, MAINE, CHILD 111, Weak and Emaciated, Restored to Health by Vinol “Our little daughter, six years of age, after a severe attack of the measles, which developed into pneumonia, was left pitifully thin, weak and emaciated. She had no appetite, and her stomach was so weak it could not retain food. She lay In this condition for weeks, and nothing the doctor prescribed 'did a bit of good, and we were beginning to think she would never recover. “At this t|me we commenced to give her Vinol, and the effect was marvelous. The doctor was amazed at her progress, and when we told him we were giving her Vinol, he replied, ’lt is a fine remedy, keep It up.’ We did so, and she recovered her health and strength months before the doctor thought she could.” J. «W. Flagg, Portland, Me.
