"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. Ad

Bee Juniors' Series
for Title to Start
Next Sunday Morning
Promptly at 10 o'clock Sunday
morning on the battlefield at Fon
tenelle park, the opening guns to de
cide the championship of the Omaha
Bee Junior Base Ball association be
tween the champions of the three
divisions, will be inaugurated, when
the Woodmen of the World team,
champs of Division 1, clash with the
Holmes Juniors, pennant winners
of Division 2.
The winners of the Woodmen of
the World-Holmes Junior contest
will clash with the Meyers Bear
cats, champions of Division 3, on
Sunday morning, September 14.
This was decided at a meeting of
the three managers concerned, held
yesterday noon at the office of The
Bee sport editor.
Although it was at first planned
to stage a three-game series for the
championship between each divi
sion, but on account of the races in
Division 1 and 2 ending in ties, and
not finished until last Sunday, the
managers agreed to settle the race
in one game.
All three teams are in the best of
condition and the fans no doubt will
witness a couple of fast and snap
py championship battles, the next
two Sundays.
On account of Second Baseman
William Kozial, of the Meyers Bear
cats, leaving for college and not be
ing able to participate in the series,
they were allowed the services of
Roy Grosbeck to fill the vacancy.
The Holmes Juniors were also al
lowed the services of Walsh, as a
utility player, in the event one of
the regulars are not able to play,
while the Woodmen of the World
were allowed the services of Mar
golin under the same conditions as
the Holmes Junior pfayer was, al
lowed. The following, are the elegible
men for the series:
Woodmen of the World Albert Htldin
ger, Leon Mendelaon, Davy Schrelbman,
Abe Feldman. Harold Ganow, Abe Smith,
Irwin Schweitzer, John Monagham, Dave
Slobodlsky, Ralph Moore, Harold Maack
and Margolin.
Holmes Juniors Bennle Ravltz, Ray
mond Tullls, Eugene Holmes, Perry Willl
ford. Herman Ferber, Pat Cahill, Rus
sell Wertz. Tom Klein, Lester Hanrahan,
Frank Briaridy, Theodore Thrame and

ert Bates. Leo Savlca, Frank Tenzcer,
Eugene Coudurler, David Katzman, Joe
Tuinatls, William Thompkins, Henry

ball follower and manager of the Wil
lard Storage Battery team, has been se
cured to umpire the games.
Midland College Has Big
Schedule for Foot Ball Team
Fremont, Neb., Sept. 3. (Spe
cial.') Fifteen members of the Mid
land college foot ball squad ar
rived in Fremont and will begin
training at once for the season's
schedule. Nine of last year's let
ter men are back at school and

with Grand Island college; Doane
college at Fremont, October 4;

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.

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.

Communists Say Time for Par
leying and Compromise
Has Ended.
Chicago. Sept 3. 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
