10 WEDNESDAY, MANAGER IEIDY RETURNS FROM SCOUTING TRIP Manager George Leidy, who has been making a trip trough various sections of the country since the close of the season in the’ Texas League, arrived back in San Antonio this morning. The trip was made solely for the purpose of looking over a number of young bait players in the Class C and D leagues wok will have to supplant those who advanced to the higher leagues this fall and, while a number of the most promising may be given a trial next spring wdth the Bronchos, it is yet too early to make any definite announce ment. In speaking of the trip, Leidy said, •‘While I have looked over many young ball players since leaving this city, 1 have not as yet signed any and may not do so until next spring. There are a number of players who would fit in nicely here but I have made no ar rangements as to their purchase. “In eveqy section of the country there are leagues containing players who will advance this year but until I < ollect my players here for the prelim inary work for the 1911 campaign, 1 cannot make any definite announce ment. I will say, though, that the fans will see a number of fast players here next season. “I visited a number of cities in the big league circuits and all of the teams are playing great ball. Particularly is this true of the Cleveland team, which has a number of players who were formerly of the San Antonio team. The best of them all is Hohnhorst. You should see him in action up there. He has the fans of that city crazy about his playing. He is covering all the ground around the first sack and covering it as well as any of the first basemen in the league. But it is with the bat and on the bases that he shines. He is hitting at a .450 clip, is running the bases with the best of them and has all of the catchers watching him at all times. His batting has been hard and timely and he is one of the main factors in the fine playing of the Naps at the pres ent time. “All of the managers and players who have been in Cleveland since Honn horst arrived there declares that he will make* good and should be one of the best first sackers in the business. “Then there is Blanding. 1 saw him pitch against the Athletics, the pennant winners of the American League this year and he certainly delivered the goods. It looks as though he will suck there from his two performances for his work was high-class in every res pect. In his first game he opposed John son and secured a shut-out but his vic tory over the Philadelphians was his best performance for the champions are playing fast ball. Adams and Knaupp, two boys from San Antonio, are also playing well. • “It is now a certainty that the Phil adelplua Americans will not train here. I had a long talk with Connie Mack and he will not make such a long train ing trip. At the present time it is un certain which team will train here but I think that I will get one of the teams to bring their players here for their preliminary work next spring.” EUPLOYtS Oil MN fLEE EtMl QUAKE Special Dispatch.

H. Atwood, representing Kansas City district ship pers. “Well, it depends upon how’ many classes you have for the roads,” said Mr. Ward. “Isn’t it a first class service?” “Yes, but it could be better.” Attorney Atwood read an advertise ment which in glowing terms, praised the character of equipment and service of the Burlington road. “Are you in accord with that?” the attorney'asked after reading the adver tisement. “I am not the advertising man, he replied. “He has exaggerated the excel lence of our equipment as he has no wav of knowing what we have to con tend with. Our service is good, but I want to make it better.” Adjournment of the hearing by Inter* state Commissioner Clark will closely follow upon the testimony of G. O. Mav of New York, a public accountant and who is familiar with the earnings of railroads of the United States and Europe. CIRCUS SUITS ME SETTLED Special Dispatch. oo Th .nits Austin.

CERTIINLY ENDS' KIDNEY TROUBLE Few Doses Make Kidneys Act Fine, Ending Backache and All Urinary Misery, Kidney disease is the most dangerous, because the first symptoms are seen in other parts of the body before anything wrong is noticed with the kidneys them selves. Some of the symptoms, though, can not be mistaken; for instance, sick, un healthy kidneys cause thick, cloudy, of fensive urine, full of sediment, irregu lar of passage or attended by a sensa tion of scalding. The back aches con stantly, or there is dull misery in the sides and loins, headaches and dizzy spells may occur, nervous twitchings, disturbed sleep, inflamed or puffy eye lids. weakness, bilious stomach, heart palpitations or the sufferer is often weighted down by a feeling of languor or fatigue. 1 The time to cure kidney trouble is while it is only trouble —before it set tles into Diabetes.

Deputy Sheriff Guards Home of Dr. Simms DR. SIMMS’ RESIDENCE ON ALAMO HEIGHTS. For the past four nights the resi dence of Dr. G. W.

Y., Sept. 28.—The democrats started in today to build a platform and select a man for the gubernatorial nomination for the demo cratic convention which will open here tomorrow. Mayor Gaynor’s second let ter, in which he said that he would re fuse the gubernatorial nomination, has left what the leaders term an open field with Bepresentative Jas. J. Hav ens, apparently leading, in the estima tion of many of the up state lieuten ants. The committee on platform met this morning to consider a draft which Edw. M. Shepard brought with him. Some of the tentative planks closely re sembled the policies urged by Theodore Roosevelt in his new nationalism movement, notably the one pertaining to direct primaries. State Chairman John A. Dix said to day that the convention would set a new mark in democratic ranks for har mony. Until this morning not a single contest had been filed with Secretary Mason, of the committee. Following a conference in the Whitcomb house, Leader Murphy announced that Tam many would merge its sentiment with the sentiment of the balance of the state. “Tammany does not come here to fight upstate sentiment,” said Nr. Murphy. “We are here to unite and stand shoulder to shoulder.” William M.
