Sept. 24.—After 16 years of patient waiting. Pittsburgh has another National league championship and within a few hours Washington may be American league champions for the second time. The Pirates cinched the National league pennatit yesterday and the Senators can cop today if they win a double-header from the Cleveland Indians and if Philadelphia Athletics are dropped by the St. Louis Browns. The Senators need this equivalent of only three more games in their final eleven to m ike it impossible for them to lose. > The career of the Pirates since Fred Clarke won the pennant for them in 1909 has been full of its ups and downs ami there are only two men on the team now who were with the old champions—Fred Clarke, who came back as assistant manager of the team, and Babe Adams, the 43-year-old veteran who is still pitching The trials of the club wege particularly trying in the last five years when they have had fine chances to nose out the New York Giants, but always fell just a little bit shy. in 1921 they blew a seven-game lead later in the season until finished in secMr. Speed —> w.'

Very few of lie critics gave the ' Pirates a chance last spring as the ’ Cincinnati Hods w<re considered to j have the best opportunity to keep i the Gian;., from winning their fifth ‘ straight pennant. The trade which ' brought Aldridge. Grantham ( and Niehaus from Chicago for Grimm. . Maranvllle and Cooper didn't look ' good on the surface ami the team ' | came from the training camp in terrible shape. Although they were in the cellar and Iboked to be demoralized, John McGraw kept insisting that the P.rates were the srongest opposition ho had and that he \yould have to beat them to win the pennant. The dub did not start moving unti| I early May but their advancement wad ; steady and on June 19 they went into first place for the first time. It was ! then a battle between the Pirates and 1 the Giants in which theyl exchanged I possession of first place about five ' times. Since August 2, the Pirates : have been in posession of the lead. The Pirates are a popular team of young players and fine sportsmen. They have never been in trouble on or off the field and they will be a popular color bearer for the National league in the world's series. o The Fourth Down BY WILLIE PUNT Two northern Indiana high schools will dedicate new athletic fields this fall. The new athletic field house at Rice Field. Elkhart, will be formally dedicated next Saturday before the start of the Elkhart-Logansport football game. Mishawaka will open a aew athletic field on November 14, i when the Mishawaka team meets the Elkhart eleven. Looks like the Bluffton Tigers are in tor a good drubbing Saturday, when they line up against the Muncie Bearcats, on the Mqncie gridiron. Muncie walloped Knightstown Tuesday afternoqn by a score of 110 to 0. If the Yellow Jackets play as o brand of football against South Bend next Saturday as they did against Auburn, they ought to make a favorable impression with the upstaters. Clean football and the old Yellow Jacket fight can work wonders. If reports from South Bend are true, | .he Yellow Jackets won't be bothered by a beef trust. Weight is reported lacking in the lineup of the Benders. — Garret, one of the teams to meet the Yellow Jackets this season, boasts of one of the Itest teams in its history. | Ph • Garrett eleven tackles South Side in the stadium nt Fort Wayne tomor-l row.

Today ailments that took weeks to cure can ' now be ended in a few days. If you have varicose), veins or bunches you can start today to bring them back to normal size, and ts you are wise you will do so. I Just get an original bottle of Moone's Emerald Oil at any dispensing pharmacist and apply it night and morning to the enlarged veins. It is very powerful and penetrating, and only a little is required. After a few days' treatment the veins will begin to grow smaller and by regular use will soon reduce to normal. Moone's Emerald Oil is also a marvelous healing agent. One application for instance stops the itching of eczema, and a few applications causes the eruptions to dry up. scale off and completely disappear. It is equally as effective in barber's itch, salt rheum, redness and inflammatory skin trouble. People who want to reduce varicose veins, or get rid of eczema, ulcers, or piles in a few days should not hesitate to get a bottle at once. It is so powerful that a small bottle lasts a long time. Any pharmacy can supply you. Smith.- Yaker & Falk, Druggists. 11l —lll II | ————
