Several changes took place in the local
bowling lineups last week. Some strong

causing the races to narrow down. The

Less than a month away the midwest

the horizon. This tournament will sur
pass all previous .pnes. Over 200 teams
will bo entered, 123 of these being en

that formerly entered teams will send
the same delegations and, in addition.
Owing to tho greater distance, Omaha
will not be fs well represented at this

suffering. X had tried the treatments
of several doctors, also home rem
dies, but they failed and all hope had
gone. My friends, like myself, thought
I was In the last stages ot consumption.
"My daughter brought me a bottle
of Peruna and pleaded with me to try
it I had got so weak had lost my
voice, and I thought It no use. That
was in May, 1902. I began to take
It, according to directions. I wrote to
you, and you gave me your ilnd ad
vice. "I soon felt better, my cough bgan
to give way, and the expectoration
lessened. I have takefi fourteen bot
tles. I feel well, eat hearty, sleep
soundly, weigh as much as I ever did,
do considerable work on my farm, and
attend to my other business. My friends
eeem astonished at my recovery.
"I wish to thank you for your kind
advice and the books you have sent
me. I shall ever praise your medicine
and hope that you may enjoy a long
life,"
It will be observed that Rev. Roberta
waited two years after he began to use
Peruna, before he wrote the above letter
to The Peruna Co. So that his apparent
recovery could not poslbly have been
temporary relief.
In a later letter to Tlie Peruna Co.,
dated September lMri. Rev. Ilobeits
says: "I am a great ft lend of Peruna.

Wo quote from another letter, dated
December 10, 1906: "I praise Pcruna to
all the sick. The people know my case,
and they praise It also."
In jl letter dated November 23, 1909,
we quote Rev. Roberts: "Peruna gave
me back my life ten years ago. All tny
acquaintances know that. I am cer
tainly thankful to you for your kind
ness.'' In a later letter, dated January 13,
1910, he says: " I shall over In the fu
ture, as in. the past, be ready to speak
in praise ot Peruna to all sufferers, I
believe my miraculous cure has been the
means or others being cured in this
county."
From a letter of September C, 1911,
we quote a few words: "I am still
among the living. As to Peruna, I do not
feel that I have words to express the
faith I have in Its merits. I feel that
Peruna has been th8 means, through the
kind providence of God, of prolonging
my life for more than ten years."

NEW TOltlv, Nov. 8. The speediest
ball that Walter Johnson, speediest of
pitchers, can pitch, doesn't travel as fast
as a bullet, though It might bo hard to
convince somo timid batters to that ef
fect. Walter Johnson and Napoleon
Itucker are the first pitchers to hove the
speed of their delivery measured with
mathematical exactness. They did so re
cently In Bridgeport by means ot an
electric dcvlco used by the Remington
Arms company to test the speed of the
flight of bullets.
Tho two boxirton hurled the base ball
through n wooden frame equipped with
fine copper wire and against a steel
plate flvo yards beyond the wooden
frame. By means of electricity the time
consumed by the ball' in winging from
Its1 contact with tne wires 10 mo sieti
pltp was, .registered. , .

the entire distance from whero thoy
stood to the ultimate objective of the
ball's Journey was about half the dis
tance of the pitcher's box from the home
plate. Johnson's fastest throw In
Brldegport traveled 122 feet a second,
nnd In spite ot the Increased dlstanco It
Is quite likely that that Is about near
enough, for all practical purposes at any
rate, the speed nt which one ot his fast
est shoots whizzes past a. batter hoping
against hopo to make a hit off him.
Tho dozen wires in tho wooden frame
run perpendicularly and not clear across
the frame. The frame was about two
feet square, and on either side of the
wires, between them and the woodwork,
was a space of several inches in which
there were no wires. Therefore the test
called for control. The ball might go
through tho frame, but outside the wires.
In which caBO no time was registered.
The wires had to he struck and broken
to work the contrivance.
Necond Try Brought Hmnlt.
Itucker tried twice before getting the
control necessary to furnish contact with
the wires. The same thing befoll John-
ton. He didn't land on tho wires until
the third try. The frame, was movable,
nn nnd down, to correspond with tho
height of the two pitchers and the sort
of a ball they threw. Johnson explained
tho difficulty of getting the ball through
the rather narrow expanse ot wires by
remarking:
'Wo aro after the man at the ether
end of tho range In the real game, and
three weeks ago. I at once sent for
Peruna. Havo been taking It two weeks.
I am now better. I consider that Te
runa has carried me over a dozen years
of life. I always stand ready to answer
any question' In reforence to Poruna."

January 2, WIS; "Dear Friends: I wish

happy year, and that your medicine may
prove a blessing to many as It has to me.

NHW YORK, Nov. S.-The old qutfOon
as to tho advisability ot changing tho
scoring system in lawn tennis has beeti
rovlvcd by an enthusiast who writes,
pointing out the evils ot scoring by se's
and tho advantages ot accounting tor vic
tories by the number of games won. At
regular Intervals almost since the very
Inception ot the game this same polnnt
has been raised and has given tho op
portunity for much discussion.
Supporters for each side of the argu
ment can be found In large numbers,
and It Is very probable that If n, canvass
wore made ot all those who play tennl.i
the factions would bo very nearly eqiml.'
That Is ot coursa true only In this coun
try, fqr In Kngland the deyqteea of en
nls, or for that matter of any other
sport, ore decidedly against changes that
would be even less radical. In the other
quarters of the globo where tennis 1
played to any great, ctcnt the samo
thing is true, mainly because the game
has been Introduced by the British nnd
tho players follow In the footsteps of
their Instructors to such an extent that
they even copy the British mode of play.
Under the present system, six came
win a set unless the score goes to ,1 all,
and naturally enough In a best two out
ot three ndvantago sets match the win
ning of one set gives a player a desir
able position. On the game system th
man who revives the discussion suggoats
that sixteen game out ot thirty win in
a match that would be equivalent to n
three-set affair, or twenty-six out ot llfty
In one of five sets. This Is on the
theory that a set woutd amount to (i-ii
games. The contributor does not mako
any suggestion as to what ought to lis
dona In cose the score of "ST match would
stand at 15 all or 25 all. Surely In siclt
a case It would be unfair to let the out
come hingo on one or even two games.
The advocates of the game syutcni
point out matches wherein tho wlnnet
actually gathers In less games than the
loser, as In a match with a score of (-4,
0-, 6-1. Hero tho victor has twelve gatnek
to his credit and the loser fourteen. On
the face of It It would seem that th
loser was the better player. The fact of
the matter Is, however, that the winner
probably loafed or rested during the sec.
oml set, and then went out after the
third.
