PENNSY MEETS NATGO OUTFIT

Indications point to the best game and the biggest crowd of the Saturday Afternoon league season Saturday when the Pennsylvania and National Tool clubs meet at Athletic park. Th3 game will be for the lead of the circuit. Natco and Pennsy have both played fourteen games tb date. Both have won eleven and lost three. In previous meetings the teams have broken on a par. Two of the best pitchers in Richmond will oppose each other in this argument. Pete Minier, Richmond box artist, in all probability will be the choice of Natco Hi Puckett. Omer Todd, manager of the Pennsy, intimates that he will pitch Karl Roop.

BROWN WILL SHINE IN QUAKER LINEUP

Harold Brown, captain and star forward of the 1915-16 R. H. S. basketball team, will try for a regular berth with the Richmond Quaker basketball team, which is now in the process of organization. Brown has given up his intention of attending school out of town this year, and will be in a position to play basketball here during the entire winter. Brown has the ability to travel in this company.

Bedazzled by the speed and brilliancy of the Federals' attack, awed by the oratorical powers of L. L.' Niewoehner and his twenty-six Postal-Fed assistants, outdistanced, outlucked, outhit, outfielded and outumpired, the infant addition to the Commercial league, Ray Jones' Alies (called Allies because most of the team are Germans) was swept back to Its second line trenches in its initial skirmish on the Commercial field of honor at athletic park last evening. Like all Commercial league affairs, it was a great game, close from the start and featured by a large flow of oratory. The Feds were out to win the game, and "they would win despite the dirty work, yessiree, they would." Feature of the game was the geunine support of the Postal-Fed team. There is no doubt about it that the Feds have the spirit. .

It is rumored that L. Niewoehner

will place the order for the Federal pennant today. The score: Feds. A.B. R. H. P.O. A. E.

THE 42-CENTIMETRE BED BUG DESTROYER That is what they call P. D. Q. (Pesky Devils' Quietus), which hits all vermin the record smash. Ask yoir druggist for a package of P. D. Q.. mix it as directed and sprinkle it where the bed bugs are. Then watch them turn up. their tootsies. Or try it on the dog and see the flees loop-the-loop. Just as effective on roaches, chicken lice or ants. It's worth a barrel of old-fashioned bug killer. P. D. Q. won't hurt clothing, furni

ture, draperies, curtains, carpets or

walls. It just kills the vermin and

the eggs so that you not only get rid

of the live ones, but destroy the fu

ture generations.
