ceeded to clout the pill for many
scores and in which the locomotives
were the most successful. Kelly was
struck out and Miller was given a
lease on life when Johns failed to
hold the third strike and Wilson,
who. 'followed, was passed by Mc
Carthy to first base. Skalak was
struck out and Burbridge broke up
1 the -festivities with a safe poke to
left that brought Miller In and when
Cattleman had a bobbte at first base
both Wilson and Burbridge scored
as Cattleman was unable to handle
the ball for what would otherwise
have been an easy out on Herold.
Janda closed the inning by retiring.
Brewer to Cattleman. In the Store
house half of the inning, Pete, who
had relieved Hula, was hit success
ively, which resulted in two runs
being checked up for the supply
handlers. Martin -and Brewer both
secured hits to center and on the
hit of Brewer Martin registered and;
Brewer came home when a fast one
tame through Schulhof at short
Red was walked and Cattleman
pained a lease on life when Kelly
failed to handle his fly and with the
bases full Pete proceeded to pull out
of the hole by striking out Johns,
Harry Newman and McCarthy.
For the storehouse the pitching of
McCarthy and the batting of Brewer
the battinx and catching of Bur-
bridge for the locomotives was the
feature and in the batting depart

his aggregation.

This City Yesterday Afternoon
From Satunlayi Dally.

plated being purchased by the city
for the purpose of motorizing the
fire equipment of the city, were giv
en a tryout yesterday aiternoon
shortly after 5 o'clock and the test
of the trucks Mas made by members
of the council and the chief of the
fire department. Only two makes
of trucks M-ere present to enter the
test yestemlay, the Douglas truck
company having a fully equipped
truck with fire fighting apparatus
M-hlle the Master truck Mas also rep
resented, although not equipped with
the hose and reels as Mas the Doug
las truck.
The members of the committee de
cided to make the tet on the South

".4
est in the city and Miiich had the
added handicap of having been wet
by the rain which ottered a handicap
to the trucks but the trucks scaled
the hill Mithout difficulty and with
full load.
The Douglas truck seemed to im
press the members of the committee
and the fire chief very favorably as
it fulfilled all requirements and Mas
handled under the direction of John
F. Gorder the local agent. ,
However, there are - tests to be
made by the International and Pat
riot trucks before the selection t
made'and it is expected to hold these
later. The ton and a half trucks

how- Doan's Kidney P1113 have stood

of 1409 Vine street, endorsed Doan's
four years ago and again confirms
the story. Could you ask for more
convincing testimony?
"Doan's Kidney Pills are all that
is claimed for them and whenever
my kidneys get out of fix or act Ir
regular, a box of Doan's Kidney Pills
soon remedies the trouble.," says Mr.
Martin. "Occasionally my back gets
to aching, but it only requires a few
of Doan's Kidney Pills to relieve me."
The above statement M-as given
February 22. 1916 and on May 13,
1920, Mr. Martin added: "I know
Doan's Kidney Pills are a good rem
edy after what they have done for
me. They have never failed to do
their work in a short time. I only
use them occasionally now as a pre
ventative to keep my kidneys in a
healthy condition. I have the best
of faith In Doan's and can recommend
them as a reliable remedy."
