POOR IMP"

THE STANDING RACING- IN GERMANY

EXISTENCE

Br E. C. HAMILTON (United Pres Staff Correspondent.) NEW YORK. June 13. "Pushed into the background, unnoticed, but performing his duty day after day. the umpire leads a 6orry life. But he has the satisfaction of knowing it is he and no other who has upheld the Integrity of baseball, kept it free from suspicion all the days of its existence." declared one of the oldest arbiters in the game recently. "Don't show me an umpire," he said, "who never was threatened with violence at the hands of a bunch of rabid baseball bugs. He isn't a real umpire. The close ones have to go against somebody, and a man who makes all his

close ones count for the home club Is a

bad man for the game.

"Baseball players will cheat because that's what they're taught to do. They'll cut a base If they can. They'll do anything they think they can get away with. The home fan calls him a smart man. cute and clever, and the umpire has to catch these slips. He's got to make that man walk the line rignt. It's the man out there in blue, reviled by the fans, unnoticed when good things are said of the game, that 13 keeping this game clean. "I walked into the gate of a baseball park today as a woman with a child entered. She saw us and laughed at us, and she actually told the little boy to laugh at us. She was teaching that child to call us robbers when he grows up. It's disgusting.

"But so long as baseball Is the hard, tight affair that it Is now; so long as the public wants to see the hard-fought games it's going to be that way. . A bali player will fight till he drops to win a point in a baseball game. Only the umpire is expected to have a clear head. He has to have the nerve to enforce the rules of the game every time something happens. No matter what It Is he has only eSua course to take the right one. It certainlyls he who is keeping the game free from criticism."

YOU MUST STAMP IT OUT

Realize that Catarrh is dangerous. Face the truth squarely that it can cause death but you can be relieved. See what Mrs. Henry Waye, R. F. D. No. 1, Wentzville, Mo., says about how she was relieved of Catarrh through the use of S. S. S. "I am glad to say that I have never needed to take any more medicine, as I have never had any return of the Catarrh, thanks to S. S. S. I ' highly rectmmend It." ,( It i3 an undoubted fact that the careless way in which so many sufferers from Catarrh regard this troublesome disease in its early stages is a prominent reason for its

awful ravages. If they would take hold of it when it is nothing more than a supposed cold in the head, permanent and lasting relief would be a simple matter. You must treat Catarrh, seriously. Catarrh is not merely an inflammation of the tissues of the head and throat, as the symptoms of ringing noises in the ears, mucous dropping back into the throat, continual hawking, etc., would seem to indicate. It is a' blood disease; it affects the entire circulation. Catarrh is due to the presence of Catarrh Germs in the blood. The liver, kidneys and bowels frequently become torpid and dull in their action and, instead of carrying off the refuse and waste of the body, leave it to ferment in the system. This is taken up by the blood and, through its circulation, distributed to all parts 61 the sys-

Racing is still alive in Germany in spite of the war. The Grand Prix was run at Hamburg the other day and the attendance was large. The German government has " maintained racing for the purpose of encouraging the breeding industry, which has provided many remounts for the kaiser's army. The British government has also decided to permit racing in England for the same reason. In France the sport is conducted on a comparatively small scale, but in Ireland the turf has become a more important institution than in former years. Racing in this country, except in Kentucky and Maryland, is struggling for existence. The Jockey club is keeping up the fight for the thoroughbred in spite of the fact that all' of the New York tracks probably will lose money this year.

tern. These impurities in the blood irritate and inflame the different membranes and tissues of the body, and start the secretions and other disagreeable symptoms of Catarrh. The head has a tight, full feeling, nose continually stopped up pains above the eyes, slight fever comes and goes, the stomach is upset and the entire svstem dis

ordered and affected by this disease. It is a waste of time to try to relieve Catarrh with sprays, inhalations, etc., alone. To permanently relieve Catarrh, the blood must be thoroughly purified and the system cleansed of all poisons, and at the same time strengthened and built up. , Nothing equals S. S. S. for this purpose. It attacks the disease at its head, goes down to the very bottom of the trouble and givse relief. S. S. S. removes the Ca-

tarral poison from the blood, making this vital stream pure, fresh and healthy. Then the inflamed membranes begin to heal, the head is loosened and cleared, the hawking ceases, other symptoms disappear, the constitution is built up and health restored. S. S. S. also tones up the stomach and digestion, and acts as a fine tonic to the general nervous system. If you are suffering with Catarrh

begin the use of S. S. S. AND WRITE us a statement about your

case and our physicians will send you literature about Catarrh, and

give you special medical advice without charge. , S. S. S. is for sale at all firstclass drug stores. Don't accept any substitute. There is nothing "just as good." Write Medical Department No. 14. Swift Specific Company, Atlanta, Ga.

Mike Hechinger, Mohawk manager, will carry Red Galligan, former bat boy of the Cubs, as coach and Germany Schaefer for his Indians, he announced last night. Red joined the Mohawks at Garden City Sunday to show his ability, and his line of chatter, he avers, had considerable to do with the defeat of the home club. Red expects to repeat his successful sideline antics at South Chicago next Sunday. Rogers Parks, who were thwarted by rain April 29, when scheduled to open at Normal Park, will be back on the South Side Sunday. The Red Cross will be the beneficiary, . the entire receipts going to the relief body. A special program in which song boosters will have a prominent part, is being prepared. Barney Coss, pitcher, and First Baseman Jack Ness will perform with the Magnets at Garden City in the eighthround Chicago League game. Now that Mohawks have downed the West Sidera. the Magnets will endeavor to get revenge for a reverse several weeks ago. Logan Square will be the scene of a grudge game Sunday, when the Romeos appear. The Squares have Schuler, former Romeo, at third base, and his presence adds to the perfervid rivalry already existing between the clubs. "With seven victories and no defeats. Hammond will start the second round in the City League schedule Sunday with the Roselands. In their previous

contest the Roselands proved easy for the Hoosiers, but Gene Vollmer has strengthened his lineup considerably and hopes to be able to stop the rush of Manager Fowler's men.

WHY THEY CALL HIM GAVVY

Not DEAD 8l)T LpEfAlG

So many of the older boyi are showing the speed of their youth this season that "comebacks" are getting to be rather tiresome. There may be a few of the game's veteranr whose playing this season has not been mentioned as "the season's feature," but one finds it hard to call them to mind. Perhaps the old boys are anxious to show that they will be able to keep the game going even though the younger men are all asked to march away to the war.

TRAP SHOOT ON WEDNESDAY The Hammond Trap Shooters association, will hold their big open shoot on the new shooting range at Lake George tomorrow. Shooters from Indianapolis. Streator, South Bend. Elkhart. Long Lake. Riverside. Aurora. Joliet, Chicago and other surrounding cities will be in attendance and a record-breaking crowd is expected. Shooting to start at 10

o'clock sharp.

Few ball players have had as many nicknames tacked on them as Clifford Cravath. the slugging Philadelphia outfielder, who is variously known as "Cactus," "Wooden Shoes" and "Gavvy." It has long been a matter of apeculatio nas to where he acquired the name of "Gavvy," and at last it has been explained by Cravath himself. "When I was a kid out on the coast," says Gavvy, "I lived in a small town called Gaviota in California, and we had a team which took its name from the town. One day'l played with a team from another town and a spectator who recognized me shouted: 'There's one of the Gavvies!' "For the remainder of the game the other spectators shouted 'Gawy' at me. and the name has stuck ever since."
