ARDMORE WON
GAME SUNDAY
ARDMORE AND BONHAM PLAY-
ED THEIR FIRST SERIES SUN-
DAY AT DENISON:
Sunday’s game between Bonham
and Ardmore, scheduled to be
played here, was transferred to Den-
ison. The two clubs went over on a
special train, which left here over
th Katy shortly after 1 o’clock, re-
turning after the game.
Bonham will leave this morning
for Hugo, where three games will be
played. From there they go to Du-
rant Friday and Saturday and Ard-
more Sunday, returning home Mon-
day, May 11, to meet Paris on their
first trip here since the opening ©fjf
the season. Paris will be followed
by Hugo.
The Ardmorites won the game in
the presence of a crowd estimated at
one thousand. The score was 2 to
0. The contest was a pitchers’ battle
Let ween Neeley f o€~ Bonham and
Francis for Ardmore. The Bonham
club out-hit Ardmore nearly three to
one, but the blows never came at the
proper time. On several occasions,
however, sensational catches by the
Ardmore outfield saved the game for
them.
The last game of the series be-
tween Bonham and Ardmore was
rained out yesterday afternoon.
- Neelev went four innings of the
game without allowing a run, and
established a record that will stand
in this league for many a day. Up
until he was scored on in the fifth
inning he had pitched fifty consecu-'
ti\e innings without allowing a run.
He held Ardmore to three hits
during the game, but all the luck
was against him, and he lost his
first game of the season.
The following is the official box
score and summary of the game:

the matter will be dropped.

MAKES BACKACHE
QUICKLY DtSAPPEAR
A Few Doses Relieve* All Suck
Miseries. Bladder Weakness,
Kidney Trouble and Rheu-
matism Promptly Vanish
It is no longer necessary for any
one to suffer with backaching, kid-
ney trouble, have disagreeable blad-
der and urinary disorders to contend
with, or be tortured with rheuma-
tism, stiff joints, and its heart-
wrenching pains, for the new discov-
ery, Ooxone, quickly and surely re-
lieves all such troubles.
Croxone is the most wonderful
remedy yet devised for ridding the
system of uric acid and driving out
all the poisonous impurities which
cause such troubles. It is entirely
different from all other remedies. It
is not like anything else ever used
for the purpose. It acts on the prin-
iple of cleaning out the poisons and
removing the cause.
It soaks right in through the walls,
membranes and linings, like water in
j a sponge, neutralizes, dissolves, and
J makes the kidneys sift out and filter
away, all the uric acid and poisons
from the blood, and leaves the kid-
neys and urinary organs clean,
jst:ong, healthy and well.
It matters not how.long you have
suffered, how old you are, or what
you have used, the very principle of
Croxone is such, that it is practically
impossible to take it into the human
system without results. There is
nothing else on earth like it. It
starts to work the minute you take it
and relieves you the first time you
use it.
If you suffer with pains in your
back ai«d sides, or have any signs of
kidney, bladder troubles, or rheuma-
tism, such l.~ puffy swellings under
the eyes or in the feet.And ankles, if
you are nervous, tired, and run down,
or bothered with urinary disorders,
Croxone will quickly i*elieve you of
your misery. Y ou can secure an orig-
inal package of Croxone at trifling
cost from any first-class druggist.
All druggists vt authorized to per-
sonally return the purchase price if it
fails in a single pase,
