RALLY IN NINTH
WINSJOR OMAHA
.Otto Merz Cracks Out Single
Which Scores Winning Tally
of Game Full of Hard
f Slugging.
A four-run rally in the final stanza
von a swatfest for Omaha, 11 to 10,
yesterday from Joplin. Otto Merz
won his own game with a pinch blow
with two men on base and two men
down.
Fans, who prefer hard-hitting
games, had their appetite , appeased
yesterday. Both clubs cracked the
pill, but the Rourkes had the heaviest
artillery, marking up twenty hits to
Joplin's eleven.
Morrie Schick was the leading hit
ter of the matinee. Morrie seems to
have found his batting eye at last.
He made four hits, including a triple,
two doubles, both of which bounced
off the fence, and a single. He count
ed three runs himself and his solid
knocks sent three others home.
Big Bill Bradley also cut consider
able ice in the run getting. Big Bill
hit for a 1.000 percentage, making
three hits in as many trips to the
plate. Big Bill also scored three runs
and sent three home.
Everybody Makes One.
Toe Burg and Ben Shaw annexed
three hits each, while Marty Krug
and Earl Smith gathered two apiece.
Everybody on the team made at least
one hit.
Smith's single and Schick's double
counted one for Omaha in the sec
ond. A walk, Schick's triple and
Shaw's single counted two in the
fourth and doubles by Bradley and
Schick, followed by Shaw's single,
netted two in the sixth. Doubles by
Burg and Krug and Bradley's single
scored two in the seventh.
Ninth Is Some Inning.
The ninth was the glorious frame
Thompson walked and Smith doubled
to centir. Bradley's single scored
both men. Schick's hit sent Bradley
to third and he scored the tying run
on Shaw's sacrifice flv. Schick stole
second and when Merz delivered a
clean hit to centef scored the winning
tally. , '
Men ,had two bai rounds, the
fourth and fifth. In these stanzas
Joplin scored eight. His support was
nothing to brag about, including that
he gave himself.
Today Lincoln comes to Omaha for
a series of four games. As both
Omaha and Lincoln are playing great
ball, some.fancy games are anticipat
ed. Games will be called at 3:15.

CATARRH IS
NOT INCURABLE
But You Can't Rely On
Sprays and Inhalers
There is no use permitting
yourself to be deceived. Per
haps, like thousands of others
afflicted with Catarrh, you are
about ready to believe that the
disease is incurable, and that
you are doomed to spend the
remainder of your days hawk
ing and spitting, with no relief
in sight from inflamed and
stopped-up air passages that
make the days miserable and
the nights sleepless.
Of course, this all depends
upon whether or not you are
willing to continue the old-
time, make-shift methods of
treatment that you and many
other sufferers have used for
years with no substantial re
sults. If you are still content
to depend upon the use of
sprays, douches, inhalers, jel
lies and other like remedies by
themselves, that are applied tj
the surface and cannot reach
below it, then make up your
mind now that your Catarrh
will remain a life companion
and will follow you to the
grave.
You must realize that the
disease itself, and not its symp
toms, is what you have to cure.
Of course, you know that when
von are cured of anv disease its
symptoms will disappear. Ca
tarrh mamiests itseli by in
flammation of the delicate
membranes of the nose and air
passages, which choke up and
make breathing very difficult.
To get rid of these distressing
effects you must remove their
cause.
Mrs. M. S. Wesserman of 40?)
Clark St., St. Charles, Mo., tells
of her experience in the fol
lowing words:
"I suffered for lor. tims with
bid east of Cstarrh. which kept my
nost stopped up tnd mads mt eoURh
Incessantly. Sprays tnd douches did
me no aood In fact, doctors told mt
I wis Incurable. 1 read one of your
advertisements, and wrote to your
medical department. Under tht di
rection of your physician 1 took
S. S. S. and was completely cured, and
unheeitutinjrly recommend this Brest
remedy to everyone afflicted with Ca
tarrh." The experience of Mrs. Wes
serman was like that of thou
sands of others who have tried
local remedies in vain. She
claims that she was finally
cured by S. S. S. because she
realized that Catarrh is a bl-od
disease, and the only sensible
treatment is through the blood.
The blood is laden with the Ca
tarrh germs, which direct their
attack against the tender and
delicate membranes of the n se
and throat. These germs can
not be reached by sprays or
douches, which, of course, have
no effect whatever upon the
blood.
S. S. S. is a purely vegetable
blood remedy, made from roots
and herbs, direct from the for
est, which combat promptly
any disease germs or impuri
ties in the blood. This great
remedy has been used for more
than fifty years, with most sat
isfactory results. It has been
successfully used by those af
flicted with even the severest
cases of Catarrh, because it
drives out from the blood the
Catarrh germs, and eliminates
every foreign substance from
Whe blood. S. S. S. is sold by
druggists everywhere.
For the benefit of those af
flicted with Catarrh or other
blood diseases, we maintain a
medical department in charge
of a specialist skilled in these
diseases. If you will write us
fully, he will give your case
careful study, and write you
just what your own individual
case requires. No charge is
made for this service. Address
