THE base, ball sensation of tlis wwk
waa th Injury to Johnny Evers,
tha Cubs' brilliant little l"rronl
baseman, which will keep him out
of the world series. The natural
comment a that thla would seilouBly
hamper Chicago efforts to beat the Ath
letics. But whoii Heine Zlmmnrman began
to awing hi big club rooters changed their
tune. Hie batting alnce that Injury has
been a consistent bombardment, and Mana
ger Chase has the utmost faith In his abil
ity to keep up hli hitting streak until the
Cuba have nailed their third world's chnm
plnnshtp flag to the maM. Dut. of course,
while Zimmerman la a great hitter and a
good Inflelder. he does not. no one ran. fill
the place of Ever at the keystone corner
of the Cubs' diamond. Evers' chief value
la not his batting, not In his fielding, not
In any of the mechanical departments of
his playing, but rather In his marvelous
head work. His brains add more ko the
Cubs' winning powers than his feet or
hands or small body can. Ha will ..a
missed, that Is certain. Hut the Cuba are
strong enough to win without him. The
secret of the Cubs' wonderful success has
always been that their suba were little l-ss
effective than thoir Cubs thc'.r reirulors.
In Zimmerman. Kane, Beaumont and
Archer, Chance has four great players,
and yet they are all ''extras." On them,
largely, the success of this year' pennant
haa depended. Just as the success of other
pennants this team nas won has depended
somewhat on other subs. The one thing
against which the Cubs now have to guard
with all diligence Is the Injury to Pteln
feldt With Btelny out at third and Evers
at second the Infield would be badly crip
pled, no matter though Hofman could be
brought from, the outfield and Kane or
Beaumont put In his place. The Athletics
are atrong and they are going to make
the Cubs fight as bard as they can and It Is
not lmliosstble that Connie Mack' team
may win. but we believe they will not
The exhibition series between Omaha
and Sioux City bas been most interesting.
The Rourkes have been on the long end, of
the playing all tha way through, at times
allowing up the champions clearly. If Fa
Hourke does not fall a prey1 to auch luck
as haa pursued him thla year, he will cer
tainly have a winning team for 181L Al-
reauy he has begun to building up hla
machine, etnpngthenlng here and there. He
mut have another pair of pitchers to help
out and another ouuielder or two. It is
still hoped be may be able to retain Rla
gert. Bchlpke, if he stays in aa good form
as he Is in now, will begin next season at
hi best and that will mean much.
Jimmy McAleer has been signed as
manager of Washington for another two
years with full charge. Jimmy haa made
a splendid showing this year and may be
expected to do better in 1911. Any man can
when unhampered by higher authority.
The Senators have the making of a good
team and tills year they have made trouble
for the beat of them.
Chance will present a revised line-up for
hla world's series contexts. The order will
be: Bheckard, Bchulta, Hofman, Chance,
Zimmerman. Steinfeldt. Tinker, catcher
and pitcher. He had thought of lead
ing o'f with 74m... but .decided that
an older and more resourceful man
was needed to get on base, and
chose Bheckard, who, next, to Bvera,
perhops. Is tha best he has.. Hofman, of
course, ia good for the lead, but he la also
a clean-up hitter, like Chance, himself.
and Is therefore needed In third place.
Bchulta may be relied on for the bunt and
that make a good Una-tip. Much depends

This la tha first pennant the Athletics
have won since 1906, when they led the
American league and lost tha world's
championship to the New Tork Olants.
They have been good fighters ever alnce
and barely missed first place ln 1909. The
team today is not tha same aa that which
won in 1306. For Instance, in the world
series of 1906 this la the way the Athletics
showed up: Pitchers, Bender, Plank, Wad
dell (he was on the team, but ducked the
world's series), Coakley, Henley; catchers,
Bchreckengoat (Schreck), Dr. Powers; first
base, Davis; second. Murphy,', third, Lave
Cross; short, Monte Cross; left, Hartsell;
center. Lord; right. Bey bold. Of tha lineup
only Plank, Bender and Hartsell are on the
team today. The Athletics won but one
BUuv i ,
Ysrk. They
attributed their failure largely to Waddeli'.i
yellow streak, which constrained him to
jump the train going 10 New Tork and
never ahow up. The Cuba In 1905 had thla
team: Pitchers, Lundgren, Fraaer, Brown,
Weimar. Wicker, Biiggs; catchers, Kllng
O'Netl; first base, Chance; second, Evers
third. Casey; abort. Tinker; left field, Mc
Carthy; center, Blagle; right, Schulte. Artie
Hofman i!ayed in fifty-nine games tha
year at second base, so that the Cuba had
many of their 1919 stars then. Thla counts,
too. In the sum total of results. It haa been
a big factor for the Cuba. All the changes
the team haa made since have contributed
to Its strength.
The magnates will favor local fans In
Chioago for seata for tha world's series
games, which is right and natural and they
will not give much heed to mall orders. Yet
the outside world haa ita claims and will
bush them. Th heat WAV In Kef lhm
through I to go to Chicago or Philadelphia
- and become a "local fan."
McGllI, we are now told, has bought the
entire Denver franchise. McUill has done
well with the team this year and Ought to
do better neat Denver should rally to
hla support In 1911 even more than it did
thla year, fir he la exerting a great effort

Babe Towns deserves credit for his splen

as a manager. At the very outset of the
aeason his team did not look the pennant

pionshlp foot ball eleven of Nebraska high
schools in 1909, Is scheduled to meet the
Omaha High school at Vinton park Satur
day. October 16.
The Tork team of this year, although it
haa lost some of ita heavy men, is still one
of the heaviest foot ball elevens In the
state and will undoubtedly give the Omaha
lads a hot game. Several of the players
are also speedy. Including Captain Wiley
and Meyers, who are two of the fast track
men of the state.
The lineup of the team which will come
to Omaha is aa follows: Mappa, (181 lbs.),
center; Meyer and Campbell, right' guards;
Buraard and R. Croson, left guards; Cro-
on, left tackle; Medlar, right tackle; Blood,
right end; Falling, left end; Osborne and
Weldraan, halfbacks; Beaver, (190 lbs.),
fullback; Wiley (captain), quarter. Subs,
Cleland, Coon and Miller.
coach starny or the York school is a
new man at coaching, but an old one at
foot ball. He played two years Inter
scholastic foot ball and two at the Chi
cago training school. He has great hopes
of his new team and hopes to be able to
cinch that championship again.

New JagT Care Apples.
The Woman's Christian Temperance
union 01 Cook county (Chicago), ia going
to light am. a with apples, n haa discov
ered that the agent which caused the fall
of the human lace may now regenerate It.
Dr. Samuel Bailey of Mount Ayr, la, has
teen experimenting on the antlbooze qual
ities of spplea. He ima cured hundreds of
drinkers by feeding them apples, when they
wanted to drink. The women axe sending
out thousands of leaflets, which read:
"The use of apples aa an article of diet
will very much diminish, decrease, and ulti
mately abate the appetite for alcoholic
BlimuLanta.
"Thst this Is a fact could be proved ln
many Instances If a little care, caution,
and vigilance be taken to Investigate con
ditions. As a rule the habitual user of alco
holic stimulants is rarely a consumer of
apples. There seetna to be a peculiar com
bination ln apples that allays the irritation
or so-called appetite, produced by the use
of liquor. 'New York World.

Into a telegraph office In an eastern town
there recently came a much agitated young
woman. Sue wrote upon one telegraph
blank, tore it ln halves, wrote a second,
which she treated In the same manner, and
at last a third. This sae handed to the
operator, requesting. In a trembling voice,
that he "hurry it up."
The operator obeyed Instructions and
when the young woman had gone he read
the two messages that she had torn In

NEW TORK, Oct. 8. There l no rea
son to fear that because the majority of
the world's flying records are now held
abroad that the Americans are going to
be completely outclassed at the coming In
ternational aviation tournament. In every
event, except those In which speed will be
specially called for. the foreigners will find
the Americans keen and dangerous con
testants. '
There have been stories to the effect
that the American aviators fear the for
eigners and that they Intend to virtually
boycott the meeting. According to these
stories the Americana art arranging to
gracefully avoid meeting the foreigners
by standing out for the guarantees that
some of the French champions are getting.
Aa a matter of fact Wilbur Wright, Glenn
H. Curtlss, Charles K. Hamilton, Captain
Baldwin and other prominent American
flyers and sportsmen, are doing all In their
power to promote the success of the coming
meet. Wilbur Wright and Charlea K. Ham
ilton have even gone so far as to visit
Ddmont l'ark and make suggestions to
those responsible for preparing the avia
tion field. Besides the Americans who
will fly in American-made machines, John
B. Molsaant, Henry Weymann and J. Arm
strong Drexel with French monoplanes, will
compete under the colors of this country.
For months last the whole energy of the
Wrights' laboratory, at Dayton. O., and
that of Curtlss at Hammondsport, N. T.,
has been centered ln producing new ma
chines and motors designed to keep the
speed trophy on this side. Those who are
closest to these constructors have confi
dently predictor, that the real surprise of
the tournament will be shown by a re
markable advance In the American biplane.
Aa Elerlct. the Antoinette company and
Marman will strive hard to uphold the repu
tation of their machines, the tournament
will be a battle between the constructors
of two continents.
Hamilton Show Speed. .
Recently Charles K. Hamilton tested a
biplane, the. surfaces of which were cut
down to their lowest lifting margin. It
mounted a motor of 120 horse-power, the
most powerful ever used on a flying ma
chine. At Sacramento, in his first attempt
to drive this arrow, Hamilton was so sur
prised with its speed that he lost con
trol and came to grief. The Wrights' ma
chine, it is reliably reported, made two
miles a minute. The Wrights' prepara
tions for competing for the big speed trophy
have been most carefully guarded, but it
Is known that they are at work on a racing
biplane designed to make seventy miles
an hour. Walter Brooklns has shown what
the Wright machine can do In a cross
country flight. It haa also on more than
one occasion proved that it ia no laggard
ln high climbing.
America Is behind Europe In the number
of Ita aviators; but In the quality of Ita
sky pilots it haa every reason to be proud.
Those American aviators who have shown
that they can really fly are confident that
they will get away with many of the Mg
money prises, and they are not, therefore,
asking for any guarantees. So far sot one
demand for a guarantee haa been made
tu the officers of the tournament by an
American aviator. The Aero Corporation,
limited, states that it haa a sum of money
which It Is willing to distribute among
American aviators who have pilot's
licenses and want to attend the meet and
who are too poor to stand the exponas of
moving their machines to Belmont Park.
Much haa been made of the guarantees
offered to the French and other foreign
aviators. Except In the case of Leon
Morane, who la worth a large sum of
money to the promoters of any meet, not
one of the vlaitlng aviators will get any
more than his bare expenses. The ex
penses of the members of the teams for
the international trophy will presumably
be paid by the clubs they represent. Sev
eral other foreign aviators entered for the
open events have written that they are
quite willing to pay their own way over
and take their chances with the rest at
winning some of the money prises.
Fast Flying Promised.
Some astonishing faat flying will be seen
on the Hempstead Plains aviation field if
the expectations B. T. Babbitt Hyde has
for hla monoplane are fulfilled. In de
stining his aeroplane Mr. Hyde haa Ignored
at leaat three principles which heretofore
have been regarded as essential to success
ln a heavler-than-afr machine. He Intends
to drive the narrow side of the supporting
plane through the air first; has tho convex
side of the big wing downward, and has
the motor and propeller at tha rear instead
of In front, as ln all other monoplanes.
It Is Mr. Hyde's theory, and be haa made
many experiments with models, that when
once In the air the big plane will exert as
much lifting force In the position In which
he baa fixed It as If It were placed to cut
the air with Us longest aide toward the
front. He believes, tro, that he will con
siderably reduce head resistance by short
ening tha cutting surface. He Is building
the supporting surface convex aide down
alao, with the Idea of minimizing friction.
A round bottom boat, he polnta out, is
faster than one with a flat bottom.
Lateral balance will be automatically
gained by two flu keels, one on each aide
of tha plane. There will be air spates be
tween these 'stabilizers and the big plane.
The novel feature of these fins la their
else, which together cover aa much area aa
the supporting plana Mr. Hyde says that
balancing fins on previous machines have
proved useless because of their Insignifi
cant slsa A five-cylinder, 100-hornetower
Anaanl motor haa been purchased for thla
new flyer. The engine, fuel tank and avia
tor will be supported ln the chaaaia below
the carrying aurface. The mach ne now
being put together at Mlneola ia thirty-
one feet long, fourteen feet wide and
stands eighteen feet high. It rests on
three wheels, two in the center of the ma
chine and one at the rear. The monoplane
Is being built strong and heavy. If it
proves a success Mr. Hyde will at once
start to build a second machine standing
thirty feet high.
Royal Team Here,
The team of the Royal Aero club of the
United Kingdom for the International speed
trophy Is now in this country- The three
aviators are Claude Grahame-White, Alex
Ogllvle and James Had ley. Grahame-
White's recent feata at Boston gave him
a national Introduction. James Radlcy,
who only recently soared Into pre-eminence
In a Bierlot. arrived in New Tork last
WMlt. AWx Ogllvle naa been in this coun
try for some time, but Just xactly where
he Is Is not known. Ogllvle uses a Wright
flyer, and It is believed that he Is some
where quietly practicing with a new type
of machine.
There Is both Joy and sadness in Omaha's
Toung Men's Christian association this
season. The sadness oomes of tho passing
of the Young Men's Chrlstlon associa
tion ''Timers." the basket ball five, that
brought Omaha fame last season; and the
Joy springs gaily up because of the bril
liant prospects In basket ball for 1910.
intcnd of having the old system of al
lowing the basket ball enthusiasts form a
team and name It. such ss the Tigers and
Crescents of late years. Physical Director
J. T. Maxwell has arrhnged a new schome
for the basket ball season. A trvout will
be held and the five best players of the
association will be entered on what will
be called the "Omaha Toung M a Chris
tian association" team, this squad being
a representative one. There will be also
a second and perhaps a third team.
This doos.not mean that the members of
the aaaoclntlon cannot get up teams to
play the same, but such teams will not
represent Omaha's Young Men's Christian
association as before.
All the old men of the Tigers will be In
line for places on the new team of 1912,
and a number of other players are also In
the field. Practice will start thl week
under the direction of Coach Maxwell, and
another championship team Is expected.
Some of the local stars are I. Wilson. R.
Wilson, Welsln, Griffith. Harris, Cohn.
Barrowman. Parish and Lynn.
"I have great hopes of a fine team this
season," stated Maxwell Raturday. "From
what I have seen of the boys practicing, I
consider that there Is material for one of
the bent basket ball fives In the country
right here In Omaha. We have already
offers of games from a large number of
the cities ln the middle west, and expect
to have a lively season of the game."
Omaha High school will not start its
basket ball until near the close of the foot
ball year, as several of the basket ball
stars. Including Captain Edwin Carson,
are prominent members of the boot ball
squad and cannot be spared. The pros
pects are good for a fast high school team
this year, however.
Omaha university has already put ln
quite an amount of practice for their five,
as they have an outdoor field and make It
a part of the fall sports. No great squad
can be expected from so new a school, but
the lads there expect to make a good show
ing.
Bcllevue college Is a little doubtful as to
Just what Its prospects for a five are, but
there is quite an abundance of eligible
material and the first month of practice
will Bhow what can be done with it.
South Omaha High school will have no
such fast team as was last year In the
field, the loss of Captain Ptryker alone
putting the school out of the best centor
it ever had. Four of the last season play
era and subs who are back will constitute
the basis of a new team, the four being the
new captain, Shields, and J. Collins, P.
Phelps, S. Menefee. Practice will begin
Immediately after the foot ball season.

SCROFULA
UnHBITAIlY DLCCB POISOH
Scrofula is a disease manifested
usually by a swelling and ulceration
of the glands, especially about the
neck . It is almost entirely hereditary
in its origin, being the dregs or re
mains of some specific blood poison.
Where the blood is greatly weakened
with the scrofulous poison, the disease
attacks other portions of the system
besides the glauds, and then we see its
effect s in weak eyes, poorly developed
bodies, running sores and ulcers, skin
diseases, especially on the scalp, ca
tarrhal troubles, etc. Scrofula usually
makes its appearance in childhood,
though manhood or womanhood may
be reached before the poison pro
gresses to the ''age of outward mani
festation. S. S. S. is the one real cure
for Scrofula. It is a blood purifier
without an equal, and it cures this
destructive blood poison by removing
every trace of the infection from the
circulation. S. S.S., in addition to
cleansing and
purifying the
blood, assists the
tLuiiitiv.li iuid di
gestive members
in the creation of
new blood cor
puscles and other
nourishing mat
ter for the circu
lation. S. S. S. increases the resistive
powers of the system and by strength
ening and building up the vitality,
allows nature to make a perfect and
lasting cure. Book describing the
