SHORT SHUTOUT
Baseball Teams Played
In a FierceSandstorm
Yesterday
Two more accidents occurred in
the ball game yesterday afternoon
and with the usual hard luck one of
them cost Corsicana a good man.
Salm was too lame to cover any
ground, so Ooyle went to the foul
line behind first base to get a high
tty from Disch's bat. Mickey got un-
der it but did not have time to steady
himself and was struck on the finger,
getting it split to the root of the
nail.
This put Mickey out, but before he
was hurt he covered a big area and
went away in ahead of Salm to handle
a bunt. Many players would be laid
out for quite a while with such an
injury, but Coyle is too game to stay
out long, in fact he may play before
he really should do so.
Hubbard got another foul tip on
the thumb and was pretty badly hurt,
causing him to dance a clog while he
wished he was ten miles from town
so that he could express his senti-
ments. He pulled, bis thumb and
groaned and when it seemed that he
was laid out, he grabbed his mit and
signalled for a fast ball.
For four innings the teams played
good ball, but in the fifth the visitors
took advantage of every weakness
and pushed four men across the rub-
ber. Salm's lameness caused the
second baseman to leave a big hole at
the second bag and nearly every hit
the visitors got was at this place or
between Salm and the foul line.
In the sixth inning a heavy wind
blew and the cloud of dust was so
thick that the movements of the
fielders could hardly be discerned.
The game continued, however, and
the ball was stopped only when it
bounded against some player.
Huddleston's shoulder was sore and
he did not have much steam; he did
not care how the game went and ac-
cordingly it went fast, the visitors
winning by a score of G to 0 and the
rain stopping the game in the sev-
enth inning.
The score was as follows:
CORSICANA.

Cotton Belt's Tourist
Sleepers Are Here
From now until the first of next
year the Cotton Belt will pull through
tourist sleepers from this place to St.
Louis and today Passenger Agent T.
P. Little had one of these sleepers on
exhibition here. •
The tourist sleeper is really more
comfortable for summer travel than
is the regular sleeper, as the seats
and backs are of cane instead of
plush, while in other particulars it is
practically the same except that there
is more room in the upper berths.
The rate in these sleepers is only
half price, being $2.50 to St. Louis.

2 O'CLOCK COURAGE
Ever Need It?
"My experience makes it clear
that improperly cooked food kills
more men than bullets," says a well
known poet and author. Bullets
have killed thousands but half cooked
food has slain millions.
"But I have found not only food
that keeps the body perfectly nour-
ished and strong but also makes
brain. I frequently get up at nights
to write and always refresh my spir-
its with a saucer of Grape-Nuts and
cream. There it a decided brain
expansion in ever> package.
"Not a military man living but
would appreciate its excellence if he
bail to form his lines (as I have done
in war time) at 2 o'clock in the morn-
ing. The courage that comes at that
ghostly hour is not so rare aa Napol-
eon thought. There are thousands
of railroad employes, as well as aol-
diers, sailors, trained nurses, and oth-
ers who have to ba endowed with '2-
o'clock courage' and for all suoh at
these Grape-Nuts is a godsend, al-
ways ready to strengthen brain and
body.
"To conclude I cannot recommend
the efforts of C. W. Post too highly.
There ia a real message for humanity
in Grape-Nut* food and Pootum cof-
Name giver, by Pootam Co.,
c, Mich.
fee."
