In a hard-fonght twelve-inning con­ test at the West Side baseball park last Sunday afternoon the McHenry Bines defeated the Elgin Tigers by a soore of 9 to 8. The game proved one of great excite ment thruout. In the beginning** it looked as if (he locals wonld take the contest without experiencing the least bit of trouble, but after the game had gone six innings the spectators were being convinced that a battle royal was being waged. The visitors started their ran getting in the third. James hit safely and stole second and a moment later registered the first ran of the day on Davey's neat bingle. Marphy forced D^vey at second and the balance of the inning was easy for the Blues. Kisselbnrg -opened the fonrth with a doable and was sacrificed to third by Gilles. Markhoff sent a long fly to the center garden on which the base rnnner was able to connt. Welch ended the inning by grounding to Parker. Lu the sixth, after Raymond had met his fate on a grounder to Joorfetz, Kis­ selbnrg slammed oat an extra-sacker and came home on Gilles' single. Mark­ hoff struck oat. Welch laid one down in front of the plate which McDonald gobbled up and sent it to Joorfetz at lightning speed. For some reason Joor­ fetz let the throw get away from him, the ball rolling down to the track, and before it could be relayed to the home plate the two base runners bad scored. The visitors scored their last three runs in the eighth on four singles, a base on balls and a couple of stolen bases. The locals started to score daring the first inning. Joorfetz took first upon being hit by a pitched ball and stole sec­ ond while Bending was watching four wide ones pass by. McDonald's at­ tempted sacrifice to the pitcher made it possible for the latter to get the ball to third ahead of Joorfetz, retiring,, the runner, Bending in the meantime going to the center station. Parker was there with a single which enabled Bending to score and also put McDonald up a couple of pegs. Kappler's infield grounder scored MoDonald, but caused Parker's death at third. Stell finished the in­ ning by grounding to the third baseman aad was easily thrown out at first. Collier opened the second with a dandy bingle, but was caught a moment later in his attempt to burglarize second. Schreiner was given a pass to first and stole second. Schliman's single made it possible for Schreiner to register while Schliman annexed himself to the sec­ ond Btation while the relay to home plate was in progress. Joorfetz went out on three strikes which was followed by a neat hit by Bending. Bending at once stole second and came home on McDonald's Single. McDonald was caught off first and the inning was over. From this time on there was no more scoring until the eighth round when the score was tied by the locals. Three base hits, a couple of stolen bases coupled with a bad mix-up on the part of the visitors netted the Blues three tallies in this inning. During the ninth, tenth and eleventh rounds the locals were retired in one, two, three order, bat the twelfth saw the game come to an end. McDonald laced out an two-bagger and a minute later scored on Parker's single. The tabulated score follows: !

Among the troubles that beset man­ kind rhematism is one of the most ag­ gravating. "I suffered with it for over two years," says Mr. Holland Curry, a patrolman of Key West, Fla. "Some­ times it settled in my knees and lamed me so I could hardly walk, at other times it woald be in my feet and hands so I was incapacitate for duty. One night when I was ifi severe pain and lame from it my wife wen^ to the drag store here and came back with a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm. I was rubbed with it and foand the pain had nearly gone daring the night. I kept on using it for a little more than two weeks and found that it drove the rheu­ matism away. I have not had any trouble from that disease for over three months." For sale by all draggists. riV Annual Convention.
