Lou Nordyke says he will not play with and manage Victoria next year, for the reason that the contract ten- dered him by President Wattelet is Jess than Joe Cohn paid bim as 4 private in the ranks.

Among other things, the gentlemen from-the coast said: “Of course we are satisfied with a class A rating at this time, but if there should ever be a higher one, we want it, see? “Why, certainly,” said the fathers. “Anything you want, gentlemen.” So you see, it isn’t a question at all of good ball, but of popu Just a little difference in population and a big case of Reiners we are two grades behind our friends, the Coasters. ase Dall Yrus “Bil Evous e scout has By 4 ater part in baseball's progress.

Open >n Letter To Over a Million Owners of Hyomei Inhalers Because of the enormous sales of HYOME! during the present year, we deem it advisable to publish this letter. HYOME! has cured more cases of catarrh (acute, chronic, mild and stubborn) than all the catarrh spe- cialists In América. But in order to get the best and quickest results the directions should be closely followed. Change the gauze in the inhaler every week, or, better still, every four @ “remove both stoppers from inhaler before using. Never mind how strongly of HYOME! the inhaler smells, to get actual benefit 15 drops of HYOMET should be poured into the inhaler three times a day. A less amount won't destroy the germs. Read the directions carefully and if you are affileted with a stubborn case of catarrh use the vapor treat- ment as directed. Remember that the little bard rubber inhaler will last a lifetime and that an extra bottle of HYO- MEI and a generous supply of gauze can be obtained for only 60 cents. A complete HYOME! outfit, \o- cinding Inhaler, costs $1.00 at dealers everywhere. Money back if not satisfied when you use HYO- ME! for catarrh, catarrhal deafness, coughs, colds and croup. |JOE MANDOT OVER Al JOE (By United Press MEMPHIS, Tenn, Allen last night.
