JUDGMENTS
I HOLMES HIMSELF KING BATTER
K3 MOINKS is onf trior the cham
pion of the Western league. It won
tli 1909 pennant after a desperate
flht. a flKht that, lasted up to the
last inning of the last ramo pleyed
tween Omaha and Ploux City In Omaha.

I tlJl I VBIIIIK IU till IS. IIII-
nnrflnt tmlilni4 mnn ran lmnn(n
to V)e Moines the opnroblum of
an til-Rotten victory. Des Moines made a
pood fljrht and won a Mean contest. Its
title la clear. Its flag Is untarnished. Its
triumph complete mid absolute. Rome
weeks airo Ploux City sport 'Writers
trumped up the eharire that Omaha. Tc
. peka nnd Des Moines lrud entered Into a
conspiracy to beat Ploux City. It should
be enough to say that Ducky Holme,
owner of the Sioux City team, never
shared such a foolish , view, nor did his
players; they knew better and knew that
these charge sprung only from excited
partisans vlio, In the heat and burden of
the last days of a closo. struggle, gave way
to an impulse that often seizes the weak
when the actual crisis conies. Kor addi
tional pi.iof of the folly of such a claim
let any wader :can th" results of the
(i.iiiii s sli'ee that charge was made. Orant-
Ing. tor the suke of argument, that It were
true, and granting for the name reason
that oil the games since then Topeka and
"Omaha lost to Des Moines were purposely
lust, even tnen Sioux City would have It
self to blame, for It was trimmed by both
Des Moines and Omaha In the concluding
engagements with these two teams. And
Topeka rid not lose all Its games. Lin
coln, which Was never Included in ihls al
leged cnnp Iracy, was the team that ended
the seas in with Des Moines and Lincoln
shove,d by every game that it was making
a faithful and honest effort to win. It
was a grand race and the finish at Vinton
fctret park was the most exciting that
has mnrked a Western league race since
1902, when Kansas Cltv won the pennant
In a snow storm In Denver with Omaha
half a nose length behind it. It is Des
Moines' firsU,pennai!t since 1900. It won
the pennant that year and the year pi
ceding, at.il had as two members of its
team Babe Towne and Andreas, two of the
present Sioux City tcrtm who went down
to defeat Tuesday. The outcome la a
splendid achievement for President His
glnj of Des Moines, who has won a pen
nant against the most tremendous odds,
won the, pennant at a fearful financial
loss, for he paid high prices for players,
good salaries, and got no supp rt from his
homo fans. Will It be a rehuUe to Ds
Moines base ball people? It should he.
As for Omuliu, the season can only ho re
garded with disappointment, though loyal
funs here i re proud of the faithful fight
their team made." It kept all the others
hustling and freed great disadvantages
throughout tint season. , President Rourke
Is entitled to the most cordial support and
Bvinputhy of local funs, for ho never ex
erted himself In any reason more than he
did, this year to get a -whining team.( He
spent more hard cash for plavrrs and pnld
better salaries than ever and yet faU
seemed to be against him. lie found hlni
Kilf in the same boat with many another
manager over the country, belnu unable
to land the most effective pitching staff.
Hud he succeeded In this he would have
won the pennant by comparatively an easy
effort.
Kane and King Are Ike Only Omaha
Men Who Pass the .noil line
nllh the 11 1 a Stick for the
Unllre Season.
Of course it's all very nice for the Des
Moines base ball fraternity to come out
now and applaud President Hlggins and
his team for winning the pennant; that's
natural. The town has shown itself to ba
very happy over the victory. But It would
have been a, great deal more helpful and
profitablo for Mr. Higglns and his team
had these "loyal" fans not walled until
the team won the flug to show their loy
ally. The shameful lack of patronage they
gave the team during the season Is a blot
on the base ball name of the city and can
not bo lightly effaced now in the hour of
triumph by mere hurrahs. V
Wes Moines only won the pennant by a
sciatch, by dint of a remarkable combina
tion of circumstances. Des Moines itself
admits, what everybody knows, that but
for Omaha defeating Sioux City In a double-header,
on the last day ot the season
It would have been out uf the running.
Well, suppose Omaha had failed. Would
Des Moines then have withheld its meed
of praise from ita team? Probably. lint
Mr. Jllggina spent money regardless of con
sequences and he lost money and lost It
heavily. Des Moines fans should see to It
that they support the team next season,
What a contrast between them and the
Pious '.City fans. Sioux , City bugs gave
their financial as" well a moral support
to their team all season and then when In
the tn Inkling of an eye defeat perched
where victory was to alt, those warm
hearted fans came out just the same and
heaped praises on the heads of their play
ers. That's a good spirit is this Sioux City
spirit. I
Which will It be, Detroit or Pittsburg?
It looks like the latter. Another Interest
ing question will Tigers and IMrates make
a better battle than Tigers and Cubs? It
is to be hoped so. Tigers and Cubs, his
tory dlscloseth, do not make a very inter
esting fight. The odds are in fewor ot
Pittsburg. If they can lilt the gait by
which they won the National league flag,
it's all off with Detroit unless it can hit a
faster gait than it has this season. Inci
dentally, it's about time fur the American
league to produce a world beater if It ex
pecs to maintain a parity with the old or
gauliatloii. It has been easy enough to beat Pitts
burg since It won the pennant, r'our Na
tional league pennants for Fred Clarke.
Only three manager In any major league
ever surpassed the record Anson, Hanlon
and Selee. and a fourth equalled it, Co
mlskey. The Pirates' 19U victory Is a
splendid achievement. In team and indi
vidual work they are the conquerers; tliey
simply outplayed all other teams at every
turn of the road, save scientific fielding,
in which, of course, the Cuba beat them.
Uut their victory is decisive and clean.
It Pittsburg and Detroit want to attract
the attention of Chleago fans they better
not make their dales conflict with the
Cub-ciox aeries.
The Cuba have two Iliomna and two
Smiths on their reserve lit. If ihey could
only scar up a Joues or two now, tut
would be fixed.

Du-ky Holmes was not far 'off when.
after his team lout the pennant, he de
clan d that It was tho best team In the
leagi.e. as it led In every department.
It may or may not be the best team.
and it did not lead In every department.
inoiiMi in nearly every one.
It is always possible for a team short
of tho very beat to win a pennant and win
It fairly and squarely. Without dlsnurag
Ing Des Moines, whose title to the flag
Is clear and unblemished. It is enough and
simple justice to say that the record Sioux
City made, individually and as a team,
steeds out a one of tew such records In
the history of the Western league. There
shmiM be no disposition or desire to mini
mize this facl. Holmes had a grand team
and li played grand ball. The list of lead
ers al ive shows how foolish it would be to
try to detract from the credit of the Sioux,
As II lmcs himself said in Sioux City at a
banqiet tendered himself and his men,
e lost the pennant because Omaha
playr.l better ball than we did In the con
cluding games."
Holmes Kins; Slagger,
The percentage shows Ducky Holmes led
the league in batting with an average of
.348. Of course Ducky was not a regular
this reason, only being at bat 138 times,
while some regulars were there over 600
times.
Smith, Sioux City's f.st little shortstop.
who toes to the Cubs, led the regulars
with me big stick, having an average of
.332.
Omulia. finished with two .300 hitters,
Kane and King', .307 and .302 respectively.
Fisher, atfer the grand slugging he did
earlier in the season, wound up with .283
and Welch .279. Omaha closed with a good
team batting percentage, .2"A
The records here show one little thing
that ought not bo overlooked. Smith of
Sioux City made the most assists and yet
the most errors, or tied with Colllgan of
Des Moines. This is but another argument
that tho record player, which these men
arc not, is not the best player.
So far as pitchers are concerned, Lang
of Des Moines will be generally regarded
ns the king, though Olmstead of Denver
surpassed hint In the percentage column.
In this department Is where both Omaha
and i-'loiix City differed.
Oman was strong in base running.
Fisher. Pendry, King and Fox were among
the thirteen best and also strong In sac
rificing, with Pendry, Fox, Welch and
Kune among the thirteen best.
Hero are the averages in everything for
the acuMin and the entire league:

Every person who suffers with Rheumatism knows of some liniment,
plaster, or other external application that may afford temporary relief
from the pain of an acute attack of the disease. Such treatment, however,
is in no sense curatives it simply gives ease for the time being, by
counter-irritation at the spot affected, as the attack is sure to return at
some future time. In this article we want to talk with you about S. S. S.,
a medicine that CURES Rheumatism, a remedy that removes the cause,
and in this way assures the sufferer of permanent freedom from this
painful and health-destroying disease.
Rheumatism is due to a diseased condition of the blood, brought
about by an excess of uric acid in the circulation. This uratic impurity
gets into the blood usually because of constipation, poor kidney action,
indigestion, and other minor stomach disturbances. These physical
irregularities may be so slight, and at such prolonged intervals as to give
us slight concern; nut eacn one nas
a distinctinfluence on the climinative
members of the body, and prevents
the proper removal of the impuri
ties from the system. This refuse
remains in the stomach and bowels,
and souring, forms uric acid, which
is quickly absorbed into the blood.
Then the circulation becomes
weak and sour, the corpuscles,
which ordinarily furnish nutriment
to the body, are saturated with the
uric acid, which they deposit into
the muscles, nerves, bones and
joints. This causes soreness and
inflammation, and brings on the
pains and aches of Rheumatism.
No longer docs the blood nourish
every ligament of the body with
healthful properties, but constantly
the briny, inflammatory circulation
distributes the uratic impurity
throughout the system, and Rheu
matism becomes chronic. The
CURED HI3 RHEUMATISM.
WUilo racoverinR from illness
of fever, I had a severe attack
of inflammatory rheumatism in
the knocs, from which I was
unable to leaVfc my room for
several montha. I was treated
by two doctors and also tried
different kinds of liniment and
medicines which Beemed to re
lieve me from pain for awhile,
but at the same time I was not
any nearer pitting will. One
day while reading a paper I saw
an advertisement of S.S.S. for
Rheumatism. I decided to give
it a trial, which I did at once.
After I had taken three bottles
I felt a great deal better, and I
still continued to take it regu
larly until I was entirely cured.
I now feel better than I have
for years.

occasional pains shooting" through
the muscles, or shifting from joint to joint, become more frequent anc
severe, the muscles get sore, the flesh becomes feverish and inflamed;
and constant contact with the acrid blood slowly dries up the natural
fluids of the joints, stiffening the knees, ankles, fingers, etc.
There is but one way to cure Rheumatism, and that is to cleanse the
blood of uric acid poison. S. S. S. goes into the circulation, and attacks
the disease at its head, and by removing every particle of the cause, and
thoroughly purifying the blood, cures Rheumatism permanently. S. S. S.
changes the blood From a sour, acid-steeped stream to a rich," healthy
fluid, which quiets the excited nerves, eases the throbbing, painful
muscles and joints, cools the blood tissues, and reduces all inflammation
of the flesh. When the blood has been purilied and enriched by S. S. S.,
it gradually nourishes back to a healthful state the different members that
have been starved and weakened because of imperfect, diseased blood.
S. S. S. is purely vegetable and contains no harmful , minerals of any kind.
We have a special book on Rheumatism, which we will send,
together with any special medical advice desired, free.
