"Hod" Eller Takes Up the "Shine Ball" for Mound Work New York, Sept. 3 Horace (Hod) Eller of the Reds, who, pitched a no-hit, no-run game early in the sea son, is an exponent of the shine ball Of course Eller may have been using the delivery for some time, but only recently has he employed it as openly as he does now. He used it against the Giants in two games which he finished in the series which ended in Cincinati recently, and he was practically unhittable in both games. Eller has on the right leg of his uniform trousers a generous smear ing of paraffine, and before he de livers a ball to a batter he rubs it vigorously in the preparation. In his back pocket he carries resin and powdered emery, which he also sifts over the ball occasionally. The result of this doctoring of the pellet is that Eller has a fast curve that is difficult to reach or hit safely, and some of the Giants narrowly missed breaking their backs as they swung furiously at the ball delivered to them by Hod. The average pitcher who uses a shine ball of similar delivery makes an attempt to conceal his application of a foreign substance to the pellet, but there is nothing surreptitious about Eller's methods of gaining added effectiveness. Records show that dwarfs have been known to live to the patriarchal age of 99 years, whereas glanta us ually die while comparatively young. NOW IS A GOOD TIME TO DRIVE OUT CATARRH A May Not Be Troubling You During the Warm Weather, ' But It Is Still In Your Blooa. Catarrh is not only a dis i justing disease bu(t is a dan gerous one, and you should never let up in your efforts to get it out of your system until jyou have done it thoroughly. - Get rid of it, whatever it costs ;you in trouble and money. ;. There is no use in permit ting yourself to be deceived. Perhaps, 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 lAwking and spitting, 'with no relief in sight from in ' flamed and stopped-up air - passages that make the days miserable and the nights i 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. You must realize that the , disease itself, and not its symptoms, is what you have to cure. Of course you know that when you are cured of any disease its symptoms will lisappear. Catarrh manifests itself by inflammation of the delicate membranes of the nose and air passages, which choke up and make breathing very dif ficult. To get rid of these distressing effects you must remove their cause. Don't be misled into think ing your Catarrh is gone. The first touch of winter weather will bring it back with all of its discomforts. The blood is laden with the Catarrh germs, which direct their attack against the tender and delicate membranes of the nose and thoat. These germs cannot be reached by sprays or douches, which, of course, have no effect what ever upon the blood. Mild weather will, aid the treatment and this is an ex cellent time to thoroughly cleanse the blood of the germs of Catarrh and be forever rid of the troublesome sprays and douches that can only relieve you for the time. S. S. S. is a purely vegetable remedy, made from roots and herbs direct from the forest, which combat promptly dis ease germs or impurities in the blood. This great remedy has been used for more than fifty years, with most satisfactory results. It has been success fully used by those afflicted with even the sevrest cases of Catarrh. It relieves catarrh by treating the disease at its source. 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, we will give your case careful study, and write you just what your ownlndividual case requires. No charge is made for this service.

SOME FAMOUS KNOCKOUTS. ILLARD was out in the first. The other blows he grabbed didn't matter much. When it rains the ocean doesn't get any wetter. Some other famous pushovers' were: Cain and Bro. One round. Thousand-ounce clubs. Abel didn't hear the gong. He couldn't have heard the 'Chimes of Normandy, Marquis of Razzberry rules.' One shindig that the ticket specs never horned in on. Cain out in the first. Still out. Dave Versus Goliath. Dave bounced one off his skullpiece, which was a dangerous spot in those days. Now they toughen kids' domes up with trigonemetry and syntax. The only thing that will make an impression on their hatracks is an ice cream cone or Bill Hart. Golly went down like a quart of Jiquor on June 30. The only difference is that he stayed down. Cleo and Friend Friend was known as Marc Antony. Cleo spelled it Mark. He was. She knocked him coo-coo with her nimble eyes, and Marc tumbled like a busted Zepp. He never did find out what became of yesterday. New York Boxing Came. This was one tough bird and inhaled a lot of punishment before it rolled over and turned its bunions toward the rafters. Knocking it cold was just like trying to drown a water bug, but the promoters and mana gers finally slapped it dizzy. ' Caesar and Gang This was a battle royal. All that Caesar furnished was the royal part. The other birds did the battling. Brutus and his Gas House gang opened the old bird up like a village postmistress slitting envelopes. Brutus flattened him out with a short knife to the sirloin. The movie money was split eight ways. J. Barleycorn Champ for 2,000 years. Was topkicker so long that he was supposed to be invulnerable like Kaiser Bill. He was. Tasted the rosin for the first time on June 30th. The brewers are hoping it is a short, snappy illness. He had an awful kick in either left or right hand, but was known to put some birds away with two fingers. No good at long range, but a demon when thumping away at the stomach. Squareheads Uber Alles . . Went good for four years. Made a pass at Uncle Sam and busted 'emselves on thtf nosepiece. Still picking butterflies out of their hats. May look the same but will never get over it. BROWNS DEFEAT INDIANS jSQUEEZE PLAY WINS GAME St. Louis Batter Hits Home Run on Home Field, Making 43d Circuit Clout There This Year. St. Louis, Sept. 3.

Comiskey, owner of the Chicago Americans, declared his opposition to the proposal of the national base ball commission that the world's series be increased from seven to nine games. He said that it had been the custom to play a series of seven game to decide the world's championship and that he could see no good reason for changing. "I believe that when an organiza tion establishes a custom it should be followed," President Comiskey added. 'Of course, if the league- votes tor nine games, then we will have to see what is to be done. I sympathize with the fans who want to see the games each fall and who are disappointed because a 32,000 ca pacity ball park will not seat 150,000 persons, but this situation cannot be avoided." Members of the White Sox had no game scheduled Wednesday and the players witnessed the game between the Chicago Nationals and Cincin nati to get a line on the club they expect to meet in the base ball classic next month.

War and the withdrawal of radical insurgent ele ments have reduced the total mem bershio of the national socialist party in this country to 42,217, ac cording to a report read at the con vention of the organization. Before the war the socialist party claimed a membership of 117,000. A summary of the more important business transacted by the conven tion follows: Urged political freedom for Ire land and India. Criticised congress for declining to seat Victor Berger, socialist of Milwaukee, pending an investigation of his claims to the office. Endorsed the plan for a general industrial strike October 8 to com pel the release of Tom Mooney, Eu gene V. Debs and other prisoners. Endorsed the co-operative store plan to reduce the high cost of liv ing. Greetings to Debs. Sent telegrams of fraternal greet ing to Eugene V. Debs and other radical leaders imprisoned during the war. The delegates applauded for sev eral minutes when a report was read that Emma Goldman had been released from prison two weeks ago. The new communist labor party of America adopted a platform de claring the party in full harmony with the revolutionary working class parties of all countries and standing by the principles stated by the third international program adopted at Moscow, Russia. Other planks in the platform read: "We fully recognize the crying need for an immediate change in the social system. The time for parleying and compromise has passed and now it is only a question whether the full power remains in the hands of the capitalist or the working class. Ultimate Aim of Party "The communist labor party of America has as its ultimate aim the overthrow of the present system of production in which the working class is mercilessly exploited and the creation of an industrial Repub lic. "To this end we ask the workers to unite with the communist labor party of America industrially and politically in the struggle for the conquest of the state and the pow ers of government in the establish ment of a co-operative commonwealth." John Reed of New York pre sented the report of the committee on program and labor, which was said to be the most radical declara tion of principles ever issued by a political party in the history of this country, ihe lengthy document is said to have been largely copied from the program of the soviet re public of Russia. Action on the re port was deferred until Thursday. s The Mint Julep. F. A. Collier urges the new party in Texas to use a sprig of mint aa its party emblem.
