AT ROURKE PARK
Head of Increase Lead by
- Taking Both Ends of
Double Bill With
Rourkes.
The visiting Jo-Jos walked off with
two games yesterday afternoon,
bouncing seven hits and four runs
off Charlie Kopp in five and one
third innings, and nailing "Lefty"
Townsend for two more bingles dur
ing the rest of the first game, though
the southpaw prevented them scor
ing. Johnnie Walker banged one over
the rightfield wall for a circuut trot
in the fourth inning for the first run.
Leftficlder Joe Bonowitz tried to
emulate his coworker, but could only
make the pill hit the fance, good for
two bags. There was already two
ui anu neau enaen matters when
he grounded out to Jackson at first.
Hits Count
Two doubles by Walker and Bono
witz, and a pair of singles by Bru
becker and Butcher, netted St. Jo
eph three more pearlies in the sixth.
It was in this frame, following Bo
nowitz' double, that Kopp was re
lieved and Townsend took the
mound. "Lefty" blanked the visi
tors for the rest of the game, but
the locals could only register one hit
off North in the time remaining.
The second spasm found the Jo
sies in the lead with one run in the
first frame. They held 'it until the
fifth, when the Rourkes made two
on three singles. St. Joe tied the
count in the sixth and took the lead
again in the seventh on three hits,
one of them being Charlie Jackson's
two-base clout. Bonowitz made an
other double in the eighth and
scored on Crosby's single. Two sin
gles and a sacrifice gave St. Joseph
another run in the ninth, while the
Rourkes, though , making two hits,
were blanked.
Two games with Dcs Moines are
on the bill for Labor day, the first
to start at 2 o'clock, after which,
with Tuesday's game, the baseball
season in Omaha is over. The score:

World-Heralds Beat Town
sends 3 to 2 Unions De
feat Western Unions in
Poor Game.
By William O. Blozies.
Yesterday's results, class C series.
World-Herald, 3; Townscnds, 2. 10
innings.
Class B series: Unions, 17; Wes
tern Union, 5.
In the amateur baseball city
championship series battles staged
yesterday afternoon at Luxus park,
under the auspices of the Municipal
Amateur Baseball association, the
fans in attendance witnessed one of
the best games of the present series
and also a loosely played and unin
teresting tangle.
The opening fray of the matinee
program was an exhibition of base
ball hard to beat between the
Townsend Gun Co., champion of
the Gate City league and the World
Herald, pennant winners of the
Booster league two class C teams
which resulted in a 3 to 2 victory
for the newspaper crew in ten
frames.
Feature Event Failure.
Although the second tangle was
billed as the big feature event of
the afternoon, played by two class
B teams, the Unions, City league
winners and Sunday class B champs
and the Western Union, Commer
cial league winners and champions
of Saturday class- B honors, it was
a one-sided afair and a walk-away
for the Unions, the final score be
ing 17 to 5.
The World-Herald-Townsend bat
tle was hard fought from start to
finish and it was anybody's game un
til the last man was out. It was the
first extra inning game of the pres
ent series.
Ort pitched a better game than
his opponent, but his teammates
failed to-give support. The Herald
team was somewhat crippled by the
absence of Third Baseman George
Bernstein, who-jumped the team in
order to play, with the Holmes at
Shenandoah, and Catcher Ralph
Spellman, who left last week for
Winner', S. D., to play -vith that
team.
Lose Fighting Spirit. ,
Greko, although wild, issuing nine
bases on balls and hitting a pair,
cannot be blamed alone for the de
feat, as the support by his team
mates was miserable, many easy
chances were booted and the team
lost their fighting sipirit that they
have shown in the former games.
Since the class C City champion
ship is settled the only game on the
program for lyext Sunday is the sec
ond game of the series between
these two teams.
Following are the scores of yes
terday's conflicts:

Little Chance for Present
League Leaders to Be '
Ousted From Position :
for Honors.
New York, Aug 31. Entering,
into the final month of the pennant
races, the Cincinnati Nationals and
Chicago Americans hold safe leads :
which can only be lost through a se
vere setbackrconibinM with a win-,
ning streak by one of the contending
teams, t Cincinnati, which now rms
a lead of seven and one-half games
over New York, forged far ahead by
its wonderful work on the last east
ern trip, ended last week. The Reds
won every series, defeating New York :
four out of six, Brooklyn three out .
of four, Boston three straight, and
Philadelphia five straight. The Chi-1
cago Americaas, apparently recov-
ered from their unsteadiness of early
August, possess a lead which Cleve -!andcut
to six games today by win
ning its series, two games to one.
Detroit, six and a half games behind,.,
will attempt to shorten the White
Sox lead in a series starting tomor
row. Red's Infield Weakened

were needed enabled Cincinnati to
take the final three games at Phila
delphia. Adaihs of Pittsburgh end
ed the Red's winning streak at 10
games by blanking them in eleven
innings Saturday. The Pirates won
again today from the Reds by a
on-run margin. An injury to GrohV
throwing hand may weaken the Red
infield for several days. ' i;
New York won two and. lost one
with Pittsburgh.' After losing Wed
nesday through poor fielding, Phila
delphia broke its losing streak of
nine consecutive losses by pounding
the Giant pitchers for 14 runs. New
York won the deciding contest to
day of a three-game series with the
Superbas. ..'
Chicago dropped two games t6
Boston and defeated St. Louis
once. Alexander shut out the Car-4
dinals today with three hits.
Brooklyn and Boston Play Good,
Brooklyn and Boston both play-t
ed ' good last week. Philadelphia
had a peculiar record, amassing 92
hits and 39 runs, but 24 errors, ac
counted principally for the seven
losses in nine games.
In the American the White Sox
broke even with New York and de
feated St. Louis twice. Ckotte

"NOTHING SHORT
OF REMARKABtV
SHE DECLARES
Mrs. McNabney Gains Twenty
Pounds Taking Tanlac and
Enjoys Life First Time
In Ten Years.
"I've not only gained 20 pounds
since I began taking Tanlac, but
for the first time in ten years, I
can sit down at the table and eat
anything I want without any suffer
ig afterwards," recently declared
Mrs. Emma McNabney of 209 South
Oriental street, Indianapolis, Ind.
"Nobody knows how I suffered
with my stomach," she continued,
"nearly everything I ate would sour
and form gas that would bloat, me
up so I could hardly- stand it. It
seemed tometimes that my heart
would almost stop beating and then,
all of a sudden, it would start rac
ing so fast I could hardly get my
breath. I tell you it was awful.;
I had terrible pains in the pit of my
stomach and through the small of
my back, and I was always having
to take something for constipation.
I also suffered nearly all the time
with sick headaches and sometimes
these would last for a week or more
without stopping a minute. I was
as nervous as I could be and would
wake up at the least little noise all
during the night.
"I tried everything I could think
of but didn't get any better. No
medicine or treatment seemed to do
me a bit of good and I just kept
going down and losing weight all
the time. I got to where I lived
on cereals, toast, milk and eggs. I
didn't dare to eat anything heavy
and I got so weak I could barely
attend to my duties around tho
house and look after my children.
"Finally I decided to try Tanlac,
after reading so many statements
from people praising it, and I think
it's nothing short of remarkable
what this medicine has done for me,
I began to improve on the first bofc.
tie and, while I know, it's hard to
believe, it's the honest truth that
after taking four bottles I can eat
anything without suffering a bit.
Why. now, I don't think anything
of eating fried potatoes, meats,
tomatoes and even cucumbers,
things I haven't touched in years
before. It all agrees with me and
I've already gained 20 pounds. . I
don't have any gas now or pains of
any sort in my stomach, or by back.
I'm not constipated any more either,
and those headaches have just about
disappeared. I sleep " sound all
night long and get up in the morn
ing full of energy. I can't begin
to tell how thankful I am for Tan
lac. It's certainly been a blessing
to me. I'm enjoying life for the
first time in years as a result of
takinyr it and I'm glad to have the
opportunity of telling people what
