temporarily relieved. But after a
short time yon had another attack
and wondered why. You mast
.realize that catarrh is an infection
of the blood and to get permanent
relief the catarrh infection must be
driven out of the blood. The quick
er you come to understand this, the
quicker you will get it out of your
system. S. S. $., which has bees in
constant use for over fifty years,
will attack the catarrhal poisons,

Wrigley's Seven-Point chewing gum. Tarzan never did find out what that

of 199 of 200.
Chicago, Aug. 13. Frank S.
Wright, champion of New York,
won the American amateur trap
shooting singles championship to
day in a ghoot-off with R. D. Mor
gan of Washington, D. C, champion
of the District of Columbia, and
John Williams Akard of Fair Play,
Mo., after they had tied at 199 of a
possible 200.
Nick Arie of Menard, Tex., won
the American amateur championship
at double targets; Greorge Andrew
Miller, 10 years old, of Brewton,
Ala., the youngest contestant, won
the junior championship, and An
drew Mayer of Madison, Wis., 71
years old, won the three-score and
ten championship. Mayer also was
the "youngest" competitor in his
event.
In the amateur championship at
singles, the classic event of the pro
gram, the field of 44 shooters aver
aged .9661 for the 8,800 targets, and
the three who tied averaged .9931
for the 725 targets they shot at. The
three tied at 199 each. On the shoot
off at 25 targets, Akard missed the
thirteenth and was eliminated.- Mor
gan missed his first on the second
shoot-off, while Wright ran his sec
ond 25 straight, making in all 249
out of a possible 250 targets.
The doubles scores were not so
good as in the last two years. The
rain in the morning seemed to keep
the targets low. Arie won with 91;
A. C. Skutt; Morton, N. Y., and J.
S. Day, New Orleans, each had 8,
and E. V. Kirby, Urbana, 111., J. B.
Troeh, Portland, Ore., and C. H.
Reilly, Salt Lake City, each scored
85 breaks.
The veterans and juvenile 'events
were new and attracted much atten
tion. Miller, the boy champion, who
broke 49 out of 50 targets, was the
smallest as well as the youngest con
testant and used a gun and load as
heavy as the men. He outshot Har
ley Woodward of Houston, Tex.,
last year's champion of Texas.
Mayer led the veterans with 46

FIGHT BETWEEN
DEMPSEY AND BOB
MARTIN APPEARS
American Fighting Men Back
Their Champ's Claim to
Honors In Heavyweght
Boxing Division.
By JACK VEIOCK.
International New Sport Editor.
' New York, Aug. 13. Bob Martin
of Akron, Ohio, who fought his way
through the ranks of heavyweights
to the championship of the allied
armies at the inter-allied games in
France, stands- in the way of Jack
Dempsey's claim to the world's
heavyweight championship.
Martin's boosters believe and he
has the backing of 2,000,000 Ameri
can soldiers and some 10,000,000
fighting men of the allies, according
to reports that he has a better
claim than Dempsey to the title of
world's champion.
General Pershing has placed the
stamp of approval on Martin. The
American commander praised the
Akron boy highly for his success
and predicted great things for him
after having seen him dispose of
the pick of the huskiest scrappers
of IS allied armies.
Capt. H. O. Ware of the United
States cavalry is one of Martin's
most enthusiastic boosters. In a
letter to the sporting editor of a
Philadelphia newspaper, Captain
Ware declares that if Jack Demp
sey wants to prove his claims to the
world's title he must seek Bob Mar
tin and defeat him. Ware is respon
sible for the statement that the army
champion has the unanimous vote
of 2,000,000 American soldiers who
look upon him as the real heavy
weight champion.
Captain Ware is perhaps a trifle
over-enthusiastic about Martin, but
his enthusiasm is prompted by hon
est conviction. He points "out that
Martin as a fighting man, having
defeated the best fighters that could
be dug from the ranks of the allied
armies, without the guidance of a
manager or the lure of a rich purse
to spur him on, deserves more
credit than Jack Dempsey because
he has met and defeated men from
various parts of the world, whereas
Dempsey's activities have been con
fined to the United States alone.
If Ware speaks for the majority
of American soldiers, as he says,
the popular demand for a match be
tween Martin and Dempsey should
bring the two together in the not
far distant future. At any rate, -the
bout would be bound to attract wide
interest
In speaking of the activities of
American boxers in the big tourna
ment in France. Captain Ware does
not confine himself to the heavy
weight division alone. He presents
Martin, heavyweight; Eddie Eagan,
Denver, middleweight, and Benny
McNeill, Philadelphia, lightweight,
as "our champions" champions of
the A. E. F. and that goes for the
rest of it, Jack Dempsey, Mike
O'Dowd and Benny Leonard not
excepted.
The spirit and the enthusiasm of
Captain Ware and other American
fighting men in boosting the A. E. F.
champions is admirable. It shows
the kind of spirit that made the
Americans invincible at Chateau
Thierry, St. Mihiel and the Argonne.
It is their right to think as they
please of their champions and boost
them as high as they please, and
though they may step on the toes
of some of our generally recognized
champions in doing so, the action is
pardonable.

PENNANT HOPES
OF NEW YORK GET
CRUSHING BLOW
Reds Trounce Giants Two
Games, Increasing Lead
to Six and One-
Half Games.
N-:j York, Aug. 13A-The pen
nant hopes of the New York Na
tionals receiver a crushing blow
here today, when Cincinnati won
both games of a double-header and
advanced its lead to six and a half
games in the National league cham
pionship race. The Reds won the
first game, 4 to 3, and repeated in
the second game, 2 to 1.
The crowd that saw the two games
has never been approached here be
fore outside of world series games,
and u exceeded most of these. Long
before the first game was over the
en ire grandstand was sold out,
while thousands stood in the aisles.
Then the spacious bleachers were
crowded, the entire cfowd being es
timated close to 40,000.
The Giants fell before the skill of
Cincinnati's two left-handers, the
youngster Ruether and the veteran
Saliee. Ruether beat Nehf, the
nswly acquired left-hander, in the
first game, while Saliee won a tight
pitchers' battle from Douglas in the
se ond game. It was the first time
Nehf and Douglas had appeared on
the polo grounds in New York uni
form. New York got off to a two-run
lead in the second on singles by
Chase and Zimmerman, a wild
throw by Neal and a single by
Snvdtr. Nehf went wild in the
thjrd, when Cincinnati took the lead
by scoring three runs. Rath walked
and Daubert was safe on Nehf's wild
throw. A pass to Groh filled the
bases. Roush then hit a sacrifice
fly, scoring Rath. Neale was hit,
filling the bases again. Kopf sin
gled, scoring Daubert and Groh.
Groh hit a home run in the fifth.
The Giants scored their third run
in the eighth on Fletcher's base
on balls and Chase's triple. Two
sensational shoestring catches by
Kauff featured.
Errors by the Giants lost the sec
ond game for Douglas, as Cincin
nati's two runs were made in the
fourth on Giant errors. Chase fum
bled on Roush, who advanced to
second on Neale's sacrifice. Kopf
was safe on an error, and stole sec
ond. Roush and Kopf scored on
Magee's single, the veteran's only
hit in the day. Saliee pitched a re
markable game against his old com
rades, as only 28 Giants went to bat.
He permitted only three hits. Two
men were thrown out stealing and
Gonzales scored. He doubled in the
third inning, advanced to third on a
wild pitch, and stole home. Scores:
First game:
