There la a host of pills, powders,
tablets and what-not for rheumatism,
but they all lack tho first essential to
coins a natural medicine. To begin
with, rheumatism Is simply a name
Klven to designate a variety of pains,
and can only be reached by irri
gating the enttro blood supply with a
naturally assimilative antidote. True,
the 'pains may be eased with nar
cotics or the adds may be neutralized
. for the time being. But such methods
1 merely temporize and do not even lead
Mo a cure. There is but one standard
rheumatism remedy, and Is sold In all
drug; etores under the name of S. & S.
It contains only pure vegetable
elements and is absolutely free of mer
cury, Iodide of potash or arsenic, and
has proved a wonder for every form
of rheumatism.
The xecoverles of all types of rheu
matism by the use of B. & a. is a fine
tribute to the natural efficacy of' this
remarkable medicine, for It is assimi
lated just as naturally, Just as specifi
cally, and Just as well ordained as the
most acceptable, most palatable and
most readily digested food. Do not
'all to get a bottle of B. S. S. to. day.
fou will be astonished at the results.

NEW. YORK, May 26. Quakertown
fans have a right to be proud of the class
of base ball being played by tho Phila
delphia teams In the two mttjor league
aggregations. Tho Philadelphia teams
maintained tho top of the percentage col
umn last week without difficulty.
In tho National league, Chnrlle Dooln's
men aro hitting well, nnd making the hits
count. Tliey made more runs, fewer
errors ore! had fewer men leTi on bases
than any of their rivals. Dooln Is a mus
ter of Inside ball and the rcd-headed
manager has Imbued his men with some
of the spirit that hns mnde him a pest to
opposing clubs and umpires.
Philadelphia has "thrown a scare" Into
National league circles In other years, but
Dooln's team this year haa given no evi
dence of the "hrlttleness" which presaged
a woll-greased slide on the percentage
toboggan In other seasons.
Many fans believe that last week's
games Inaugurated tho break In the
Brooklyn machine for which managers,
players and patrons have been waiting.
Bill Dahlen's men managed to retain
second place, but more through an early
lead than by reason of this week's play.
The reason for the Brookyn slump la
not hard to find. They made but five
runs from a total of thirty-three hits last
week. St. Louis Is In third place. The
reason is evident from a glance at tho
batting averages which show Miller Hug
gins hitting at tcrriflo pace. Konetchy Is
having a great year and these two havo

MONTREAL. May 28. The injuries
which Stanislaus Zbyszko sustained in a
vrettllng match Saturday night with
Constant Le Marin are Inconsequential
and consist only of "a slight abrasion" In
stead of a serious fracture if the skull,
according to a bulletin issued bv Zbyszko's
doctors today. The abrasion, they added,
was over the right eye which the wrestler
received by tumbling out of the ring. No
complications are expected, though the
patient will not be able to wrestle again

Cnlis Dtsnppolnt Fans.
Chicago's disastrous eastern trip has
ended and the Cub fans hope to sea
Evers put the Chicago machine in run
ning order on the home grounds. The
Cub pitchers have made a disappointing
showing and Internal dlssentlons In the
team are keeping Evers awake nights.
There has been evident friction between
Evora and Zimmerman, the Chicago bats
man. Zimmerman kicked himself out of
a game last week from which Evers had
refused to release him and angry words
passed so openly that none could fall
to mark the trouble. President Murphy
Insured wide publicity to the dlssentlon
by ordering his players to avoid all com
munication with newspapermen.
Pittsburgh's showing last week was
most encouraging to Manager Clark and
there is a feeling that Honus Wagner and
his teammates yet may make a bid for
the pennant, to win which they were
selected by excellent authorities before
the season opened.
Glnnta Not at Par.
The New York team made no Improve
ment last week. While Mathewson ap
parently Is due for a splendid season, the
other pitchers are doing most unsatis
factory work. Marquard plainly Is out
of form and Tesreau has not struck his
last season's pace. McOraw secured
Fromme from Cincinnati to bolster his
pitching staff. This trade undoubtedly
will be of Immense benefit to Tinker. For
Fromme he secured Josh Devore, a
splendid outfielder and weak at the bat
only against left handed heavers; Groh,
an Infielder, sorely needed to take
Bgan's place, and "Red" Ames, a sea.
soned pitcher whose only fault Is In
ability to work oftener than once a week.
Tinker is one manager whose playing
has not suffered through managerial
cares. He Is hitting well above .325 and
is fielding life wildfire. While he has
found It hard work to Jolt the Reds from
the rut In which they have fallen, his
efforts are having effect
Connie Mack's Atntetles clung to the
top of the American league column, but
did not keep up the early season pace.
Undoubtedly the most Impressive show
ing of the week was made by Cleveland.
In spite of Injuries which kept Birming
ham and LaJole out of the lineup, the
Naps administered a thorough drubbing
to Washington, their nearest rival, break
ing Walter Johnson's winning streak. The
failure of accidents to stop the Naps
speaks wonders for what Birmingham has
done for that team.
Chicago had a fair week, the switches
in the White Sox lineup apparently be
ing most effective. Ping Bodle, who has
warmed the bench for weeks, was placed
in center field and apparently has re
covered his batting form. Boston, which
broke even on the week. Is missing Jake
Stahl sorely and tho boxmen of the
world's champions have not responded
with the spurt which the team needs,
The wonderful Georgian, Cobb, Is carry
ing the entire Detroit team. Cobb is hit
ting at a .500 clip and his base running
has made the American league catchers
look like amateurs. The lifting of George
Stovall's suspension and his return to
active direction of the St Louis team was
hailed with pleasure hy most of the fans.
Like Kill Nichols,
Pitcher Tom Seaton of tho Phlladelphlas
resembles (Id Nichols, tho former Bos
ton star, In IiIb delivery. Furthermore,
ho belltv" that a pitcher's effectiveness
depenas largely In putting the hall over
the plate, thereby having tho batsman
constantly In tho hole. Boatou also has
unbounded confidence In himself, which
is at least half the battle.

Arena ilurnril,
CALGARY, Alberta, May 26.-A dislo
cated neck caused the death Saturday of
Luther McCarty during hla fight with
Arthur Tolkey, according to Information
given out tonight, following nn autopsy
conducted by Dr. Moshler at the request
of Coroner Costello.
It was stated by the physicians that
death undoubtedly had been caused by
the dislocated neck and that tho heart
was found to be sound. A clot of blood
on the brain aided In convincing tho
phye.lcln.ns that death was not due to thu
blow near the heart.
Shortly after the contest began yester
day, McCart received a sharp Jab to the
Jaw which sent his head back quickly.
It did not appear to have caused any pain
and he was afterward on hla feet for half
a minute. Tho left to tho jaw was fol
lowed by Pelkey with a right to the heart
region, which caused the spectators to
bellcvo tho latter blow had brought the
knockout, but tho physicians are of thu
opinion that the dislocation of the neck
wns not sustained In the fall which fol
lowed. He fell slowly and did not strike
his head. ,
Died from IIIott to .law.
Shortly before midnight tonight and
after the second examination had been
made, tho result of tho autopsy held last
night was made known. Tho physicians
stated the Investigation showed that Mc
Carty died as u result of tho blow to
the Jaw, which dlslocnted his nock, caus
lng a rupture of the spinal cord and a
hemmorrhage of the spine. The medical
evidence will be produced at the formal
Inquest tomorrow.
