Lovers of the National Sport Witnessed a
Very I'rettv Exhibition at the Park Last
Monday.
Harrison's Giants met their Waterloo
at the hands of the Iustitutes at BaBC
ball Park last Monday and the cranks
and rooters witnessed a game good enough
to satisfy any lover of the national game.
Both sides contributed to the sum making

some brilliant plays. Among the features
were long running catches by Nowell
and Anderson, the latter making
beautiful double play assisted by Hay
ward Cohen also took a hot fly and by
passing it promptly to first made a double
play.
The Giants were first to the bat and
made two runs. Mima getting a run on
errors. The Institutes then took up the
stick and made the lucky No. of 7. In
the second Harrison's great ball players
added thrco runs while tho Institutes
only made a goose egg. In the third
the t iwn paralysed Bagby's delivery and
made foul runs, while the best the
Institutes could do was to put Smith
across the homo plate. Bagby was effec
tive in the fourth and not a man of the
Giants saw first base. Tho Institute
however, got right on to Mims' straight
alls and knocked out five runs. Th
Giauts then took up the stick in the fifth
and when they retired they had four
more runs on their side, while the Iusti
tutes all died at the home plate. Th
score then stood 13 to 13 when the
Giauia took up the hit iu the sixth
They mude 3 runs and the Institute

There la more Catarrh in this section
of the oountry than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many yoars doctors pronounced it a local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounocd it incurable
Science has proven catarrh to be a con
stitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional tieatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J, Cheney, &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only eostitution-
al cure on the market. It is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to
teaaooouful. It acts dircetW o the
blood and mucous surfaces of the system,
They offer one hundred dollars for any
case it fails to cure.
