Jefferson Tigers’ Claws. Clipped at Lowell Sunday.

The Jefferson Tigers were subdued at Lowell Sunday to the tune of 14 to 3. The heavy batsmen from Sugar Creek township played rings around the Jasper county boys and Manager Moore brought home with him one of the most crushing defeats he has ever experienced during his managerial career. The Tigers have some other games in sight and may yet be able to climb the ladder of baseball fame. • Sunday seemed to be-a day of big scdres among the semi-pro teams hereabout and the Tigers were not the only ones to be smothered by their adversaries. Elmer Wilcox played with Monon Sunday and helped defeat Wilder 17 to 1. St. Joseph’s college defeated Battle Ground 9 to 0, Lili pitching a remarkably.good, game for the college lads. It remained for Fair Oaks to establish the record for big scores. The ball players from upper Union township put it over Virgie by the score of 36 to 0. These figures should serve to furnish some solace to the down-hearter Tigerettes.

“ CERTAIN RESULTS. Many a Rensselaer Citizen Knows How Sure They Are. Nothing uncertain about the work of Doan’s Kidney Pill s in Rensselaer. There is plenty of positive proof of this in the testimony of citizens. Such evidence should convince the. most skeptical doubter. Read, the following statement: Jacob R. Wilcox, Dayton St., Rensselaer, Ind., says: “The statement I gave for publication in May, 1907, in praise of Doan’s Kidney Pills, still holds good. The cure they effected has been permanent I had pains through my loins and was in misery day and night. I always felt tired and worn out and was annoyed by a distressing kidney weakness. Nothing relieved me until I began taking Doan’s Kidney Pilts. They were of such great benefit that I consider them worthy of the highest endorsement.” - For sale by all dealerjp Price 50 cents, Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United State.
