TOUCHED EHRET UP.
The Chicago Colts Hit the BaU and Fairly
Out-Play tho Home Team.
Anson and his Colts came here yesterday
to play off two games; that were scheduled
to take place at
Chicago. It was
too cold out in
the World's
Fair region for
the Colts and
their patrons,
and they made
it quite inarm
here yesterday
afternoon for our
sluggers. Th e
latter were never
in the hunt from
start to finish.,
and that fact
alone made the
game a very uninteresting one to the 900 or
1,000 people who were there to see it. There
were many sa d ffctnres about the contest
ns far as the local men were.concerncd.
They could not hit "Old Hutch" very hard,
and the Colts just played their best. They
out-classed the locals in every sense.
The Victory Was Earned.
On the other hand Ehret was somewhat
of a mark 'for Anson's youngsters, and the
fielding of tho locals was wretched. The
errors, and there were eight of them, did
some damage, hut they did not entirely lose
the game. Of the nine runs tallied by the
visitors fire were earned, and errors had
nothing to do with them. The tact is Ehret
was far from being at his best, and when
the Colls did hit the ball they invariably
cent it humming out of sight almost. Two
of their cracks were homers and one a triple.
That is hard hitting and no mistake.
Bobby Cargo was put in to play short in
the second inning, Farrell being compelled
to retire on account of his injured leg.
Miller went to third base. Cargo started
off well, but he soon got all tangled
up and made some very bad errors. He
probably was a little nervous, and it
wouldn't be fair to judge him by yester
days work. He is an active littlefellow
and likely enough can do better than he
did. But he did not play anything like
League ball yesterday. Still the best field
ing in the world would not have saved the
game, because the Colts banged the ball too
much. AH -round it was an unfortunate
day (or the homo players, as Van Haltren
and Donovan muffed Hies that 19 times out
ot 20 they would have held all right.
Terry Umpired Very WelL
Umpire Snyder did not nut in an appear
ance ami Terry umpired the game. He did
first rate, and "there was no kicking about
wit of his decisions.
The locals went first to the bat nnd did
nothing. In the second halt the Colts be
gan their run-getting and the home players
their error-making. Ryan reached first on
a fumble by Farrell, and then Mr. .Parrott
sized matters up lor a corking home run.
He whacked the bait right to the lett center
fence, scoring two runs, of course. A
splendid double play by Miller and Beck
Icy and a strike-out ended the inning.
In the third inning Cargo began his mis
takes and made a wild throw of a grounder
by Kittridge that allowed the latter to reach
second. Ryan's infield hit-scored the run,
anil another double play, a good one, by
Bierhauer and Bcckley, and a fly ended
the inning.
The home club scored an earned run in
the fifth. After Smith was out Mack got '
the ball don n the right foul line lor three
bags and scored on Bierbauer's sacrifice.
Kept Piling Up the Items.
Then the Colts piled some more up in
their half. "Hutch" started off with a
three-bagger to right center, and scored on
Kittridgc's little single. Jimmy Ityan
got his eye on the ball and thumped it out
to left center for a home run, making three
earned runs for their inning.
In the sixth, after Donovan was out,
Cargo made a single to middle and was
iorced out by Van Haltren. Miller's triple
scored Van.
The seventh inning came and the boys
lrom Chicago piled up three more. Ryan
started oil the fun with a single. Parrott
nnd Dahlen each made one, and a fumble
by 'Cargo let Anson reach first and Ryan
and Parrott scored. A sacrifice by Dungan
scored Dahlen.
In the eighth inning Donovan made a sin
gle and reached third on a sacrifice by
Cargo. Miller's sacrifice scored the run.
In tho ninth Smith made a single, got sec
ond on a sacrifice by Mack and scored on a
single by Ehret Donovan forced Ehret
out at second and the jig was up. The

THERE S SOMETHIHOui
But the Wrong Does Not Lie
Drs.Cope!and, Hall and Byers,
It Is in the Gross Overcharges and Ab
surdly Enormous Tees or Other Physi
cians The Good That The rcople-j
Physicians" Are Doing In Placing Tint.
Class Treatment Within the Beach or
AH Cannot Bo Computed. ,
"Doctor," said n lady In Drs. Copelana,
Hall and Byers office yesterday, "my sistar
says there must be something wrong about
this, because you charge $3 a month and the
doctors wo havo been going to charge $3 a
visit She says there surely must be some
thing wrong."
nere it is in plain words. You charge so
llttlo yon must be robbing the people.
In tho paradox is tbe absurdity of it, and
yet, as absurd as the paradox is, it gains
listeners.
There are some people who, if placed in
the Garden of Eden, would whisper: "There
must be something wrong about it"
"You charge $5 a month other doctor3$5
a visit There must be something wron
about it"
Thero is, but the wrong is in tho $3 a
visit and not in the $5 a month.
Tho wrong lies in the gross overcharges,
tho absurdly enormous fees of so many so
called specialists and in tbo 100 porcent
profit of so many retail druggists.
The sick have to pay far too great a prt
nilum on their misfortune.
There is tbo wrong of it
Do you understand? "But how can Drs.
Copeland, Hall and Byers charge $5 a month
for medicines and treatment when other
doctors can't:" .
Because they are willing to work for far
less compensation and consequently thoir ,
prabtico is enormous. Every dollar that Is
dne them is paid tbem. They don't have to
charge up the bad debtsof onepatient to the
open purse of another.
The public has given them unreservedly of
their patronago and its confidence. Tney
feel like dividing, so to speak, witn the pub.
lie tho profits of tho work; like making their
charges fo low that all may avail them
selves of their skilL '
Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers are putting
this in plain words, but they mean Jusc what
they say. They are sincere in it Thoyknow
they are doing good in this community. Ex
pressions or gratitude, good will and encour
agement come to them daily from the peo
ple, and it is the people whom they nre try
ing to please, not the doctors, nor the drug
gists, nor the medical colleges.
It is for tbo public to reap tbe benefit of
this, and for doubting Thomases and Jealous
critics in and out of the profession to realize
after awhile that the vast majority of tho
publlcappreciate genuine skill, fairness and
liberality.
In treating diseases or the mucous mem
brane Drs. Copeland. Hall and Byers have
no equals. Hence tbey have the bulk of the
practice in catarrhal diseases in tbe city of
Pittsburg. Their new lung treatment is
giving relief and is curing hundreds of peo
ple who have for years suffered witn a
weight on tho chest, tightness and wheez

sweats, and the other manifestations of in
cipient consumption. The'stnteraents tbaS

of Munhall, Pa., who has been a griptnnn on
cable cars for tbe past few years. Tho ex
posure Irom the sevoro and chilling wind,
which constantly strikes n grip man in tlta

"For ten davs before consulting Drs. Cope

difficulty I could retain that.
"I became weak and nervous. My hands
shook so I could scarcely hold anything in
