The In dependents and the Davenport Giants found it advisable to postpone their game until next Sunday afternoon on account of the rush of the holiday business which takes up the time of many of the members of the two teams. The Boosters and the Flying Dutch men bowled, however, and the Rock Island team took all three of the games from the tailenders. The Boosters were in good form, and if Sehocker oi Mueller had rolled up to his usual standard in the second game a new league record for one game would probably have been established. The record so far in the league is 917. The scores for the games were as follows: BOOSTERS.

CURE IT IN ONE DAY. Coughs and Colds Disappear Like Magic When Hyomei is Used. If the thousands of people who suf fer from backing coughs and agoniz ing colds, would arouse themselves suf ficiently to follow this advice, they would cease to complain within 24 hours. . Here is the advice, if you take it and you are afterwards sorry that you did. it won t cost you a penny; Go to H. O Rolfs, the druggist, and purchase from him a Hyomei (pro nounced High-o-me) outfit. It will only cost you $1. Take it home; use it according to directions, .and if it does not cure your cough or'o!d, take it back and H. O. Rolfs will refund the purchase price. When yoii use Hyomei yoir-don't swallow nauseating drugs. You sim ply breathe in the soothing, pleasant and antiseptic Hyomei air through the little pocket inhaler that comes with each outfit. As this medicated air passes over the inflamed parts, relief , comes almost at once, -and cure fol lows. ' Mary E. Bennett.

Frank Chance has really little mind to leave the Cubs, according to a state iment he mad when interviewed yes terday at his home in California. Any how, he will never play outlaw ball, he says. "Middie" Boucher, whom Rock Is land Introduced to the Three-Eye last season, says he will not report at De catur next season for any paltry $150. Pitcher Eddie Pierce, another Commo- Idore, is of the same mind. Now that Charlie Buelow has been apparently let out by Davenport, there Is a movement on at Bloomiugton to secure him for manager there. While the Three-Eye league is con sidering shortening the season next year the Central league is discussing playing 154 games, instead of 140, as usual.

" 'The repeated refusal of the east to recognize the west in the matter of the presidency of the U. S. G.
