RAILROAD MAN SAYS "TELLTHEM TO COMEJO ME" Wants Everybody to Know 'What Tanlac Did For HimGains Thirty Seven Pounds. "I don't believe there's any med icine on earth can equal this Tan lac," recently declared W. J. Rich ardson, a well known switchman on the Rock Island, living at 60 South Fifteenth St, Kansas City Mo. "I've grained thirty-seven pounds since taking it and I feel stronger than I have for many years," he continued. "I suffered for a long time from stomach. trouble and in digestion and I tell you I sure had a time of it. I didn't have any appe tite and what little I did force my self to eat would sour and form gas that would get up around my heart and smother me so I could hardly get my breath. I had ter rible headaches and dizzy spells every now and then, and I had such a pain across the small of my back that it was all I could do to get up when I sat down. I just couldn't get a good night's rest and I lost a lot of time from work on account of the way I felt. Of course I took a lot of medicine, but no matter what it was nothing did me any good. "A few weeks ago I decided to try Tanlac and I hadn't taken one bottle when I began getting hungry and then I found what I ate didn't sour and form gas any more. Now, I'm eating anything I want and never suffer from indigestion. I sleep sound all night long and get up in the morning feeling like a two-year-old and ready to tackle any kind of work. Yes, sir, I sure do think a lot of Tanlac. I've rec ommended it to several of my friends and whenever they have given it a fair trial, it's benefited them just the same as me. As far as my own case is concerned, if anybody doubts what I say just tell Vem to come to see me and I'll prove what Tanlac has done." Tanlac is sold in Omaha at all Sherman & McConnell Drug Com pany's stores, Harvard Pharmacy and West End Pharmacy. Also For rest and Meany Drug Company in South Omaha and the leading drug gist in each city and town through out the state of Nebraska. !.

OMAHA TRUNK : FACTORY -' .1209 Farnam Street t-1 CINCINNATI IS FLAG WINNER IN SENIOR LEAGUE Cinches Right to Play In World's Series Next Month Against Chicago. Cincinnati, Sept 16. By beating New York today before a crowd of 18,000 people, the Cincinnati club cinched the pennant in the Nation al league, the first which it has ever wop in that organization. The Reds hau- seven more games to play and even if they should lose all of them while the Giants won all of the 11 games remaining on their schedule, the local club would finish one game ahead. The score today was 4 to 3. Ruether pitched the full game for the Reds and was hit hard, being frequently saved by sensational support. Toney pitched well for New York after the first inning, but his support was faulty. He was taken ou,t'in the seventh and Nehf finished the game without allowing a hit. New York scored twice in the first inning on a pass to Burns and Singles by Kauff and Statz. In the last half of the same round the Reds scored three runs on Fletcher's wild throw on Rath's grounder and hits by Roush, Kopf and Neale. New York tied it in the fourth on suc cessive hits by Burns, Kauff and Frisch. The Reds won the seventh, which Schreiber opened with a double over first base. Rariden bunted a fly toward first base which Kelly muffed and then threw to third in an attempt to get Schreiber, but was too late. Toney was then re lieved by Nehf and Schreiber scored the winning run on Ruether's grounder to Doyle, on which Rari den was forced at second. It was announced by Chairman Herrmann today that the National commission will meet here at 10 o'clock next Monday morning to complete the arrangements for the world's series. Score: R. H. E.

Twenty-two men, including five "I" winners from last year and another from 1917, greeted Coach Howard Jones yesterday afternoon at the first foot ball practice of the year for the Hawkeyes.

Chicago, Sept. 16. A complete investigation of the financial af fairs of the American league was ordered today at an executive ses sion of a majority of the board members. Charles A. Comiskey, president of the Chicago American league club, was authorized to pro ceed with the inquiry. Ban B. John son, president of the league, was requested last month to furnish this information to the board, but he has failed to do so. The question of gambling at base ball parks also was considered and Mr. Johnson was bitterly assailed for his failure to give the board of directors information which he is said to have in his possession in re gard to gambling at the games. The board declared that everything pos sible has been done by club owners to stamp out .this evil, but criticised the league executive for his failure to co-operate. Board Issued Statement. The board issued a statement, which said in part: "At this meeting the chairman of the meeting, Mr. Comiskey, was authorized to take any and all steps that he might be advised by counsel where necessary or proper for him to take on behalf of the board of di rectors of the league to procure a complete statement of all accounts, receipts and disbursements of the league which Mr. Johnson was di rected by an appropriate resolution to furnish to this board at a meet ing held on August 14, 1919, but which he has entirely failed and neg lected to do up to the present mo ment, in direct violation of the con stitution and by-laws of the Ameri can base ball league. To Investigate Charges. In the attack on Mr. Johnson the statement reads: "The prime object of this meeting is to investigate charges of gambling made bv the president of the league through the public press and otherwise. Mr. Johnson, the president of the league, although requested to be present at the meeting and to present such evi dence as he; might have with refer ence to the subject, failed to appear. It is needless to say, the statement continues, that the members of this league have at all times strenuously endeavored to stamp out gambling at any of the parks belonging to the members of this league and will pur sue that policy to the end. even though the president of the league did not deem it of sufficient moment to give the board the benefit of such assistance or acquaint them with such facts as he might have in his possession."
