TENNY WAS NO MOLLY CODDLE Other Hit Tirad Oat to Be Leader and liar Helped Win Man? Peaaaat Overall Foot Ball star. NEW YORK, May 21.-Colle men have played an important part In professional ms ball and many university playera have developed into atara aa member of big leagu team. It la aald that Fred Tenney of ' th Glanta was the first col Jpglan who made both the professional playera and the fana comprehend what an up-to-date varsity man waa really like. He did It with a vengeance, too, and :ht inimitable Dad Clark waa the goat. Tenney had just Joined tho Boston team and piarke was about to pitch a game against Selee'a performer. Dad had heard of Tenney'a signing and decided that he would scare the tender mamma's boy right off the lot. He hunted for Tenney, ap proached him during practice and re marked, with a terrible growl and a sav age glare: "Say, you college lobster, you cheap Imitation, you four-flushing rah rah, you Willie boy from the ology class, what business have you got around hero mixing up with men?" Tenney turned, a fierce-eyed figure, with black, straggling hair waving over a pair of vldou eyes. Blilng Clarke up for a few minute, he began by squirting tor rent of tobacco Juice all over Dad' shoes. Theft he turned loose a flood of explo sive that curled Clarke up, leaving him in a daaed and helplesa mas. When Dad came in he cried to Fred Knowlee: "Say, that guy never went to college. . That, tough gaaaboo never even went to night achool." The collegian who break into th big league i ' usually from th maller col lege, the Jerkwater laborer with their trigonometry. Men who can afford the pace of Tale, Princeton or Harvard, a a rule,' ar too well off to need a base ball contract and on graduation tep right Into business at their father' office. There have been some eminent Yale and Har vard men In the big league, but not many. The student from the little colleges, rugged young fellow of tremendou phy IquV take a naturally to A ball player' life as duck do to water. In a year or two they become amalgamated with the great mass ' of playera. In tlve year it 4s Impossible to distinguish the collegian by any sign of speech or manner, aa the only way many of them are ever identi fied a varsity men la when an old clasa mate' chancea to encounter them. The big league contain many collegian whose very schools are forgotten by all save the men themselves, and no list of big league college men ever printed ha been correct for this strange reason.

Freddie Welsh Strong Favorite with English Britisher Placing Large Sum at Two to One that He Will Whip McFarland. i LONDON. May 21.-onslnrable betting Is being wagered on the International twenty-round contest between Tackey Mo Farland and Freddy Welsh, which Is to take place at tho National Sporting club Monday evening, May 8(1, the eve of the big Derby race. No contest held her for the lost decade, not even that between Tommy Burns and Gunner Molr, ha ex cited the Interest of the coming clash be tween the light weights, but, according to the wager already registered, Welsh will bo an almost 2 to 1 favorite on the night of the bout. One of the -bet recorded has been 1300 to $2TiO, while the other wa $126 to 70, McFarland himself being on the short end of the last The purse for which this pair will con tend, $7,500, exceeds every sum ever offered by the National Sporting club except that given for tho Jackson and Rlnvln go eigh teen years ago, and it Is by far the biggest prize ever held up for lightweight to fight for In this country. McFarland I training at "Jack Straw's Castle," . a charming pleace on the top of Hampstead Heath, where Tommy Burns, Franklo Nell, Jimmy Walsh and other American fighters have prepared for previous contests. In addi tion to that Klnnealley, his manager, and Packy will have the benefit of Jimmy Brltt's knowledge, the versatile James Ed ward being already one of the most Im portant chiefs at the quarters. George Blake, the Los Angeles amateur, who Is now In London on a trip around the, world, will aiso give hi assistance to the lad from Chicago, In the American sporting colony Me-! Farland's success is regarded as a fore gone conclusion. Blake, who witnessed th twenty-five-round draw between Packy and Welsh at Los Angeles ha stated that he was unable to find any excuse for Jeffries calling that fight a draw, as McFarland clearly had the better of It Since his fake fight with Jack Daniels at the King's hall on April 25, .Welsh has lost considerable of hi waning popularity and not many tear will be shed over hi defeat but his box ing ha been a revelation to them herer and as blood Is thicker than water, they do not think that the American live who can defeat the Welshman.

Tho recent aboli tion of the mallet putter by the Royal and Ancient Golf club of St Andrews, the oldest golf club In 'the world, haa brought forth a considerable discussion of the question on both sides of the Atlantic The mallet putter, and in fact many of the freak club which have come Into the game of golf during the last few years, and which tend to make radical departures from the old style, are for the most part American innovations, and the action by the rule of golf committee Is taken .by some as a direct slap at the golfers on this side of the water. However that may be, the fact remain that th action haa International bearing. Both American amateur and professional have been In the habit of taking trip to the other side and, ' testing their mettle against the foreign experts, and with the old "L" shaped putter, the only one that can be" used on the British of Scottish courses, the Americans will find them selves at a great handicap when forced to abandon their favorite club on the putting green to take up the old style. Some, of course, have never given the mallet putter a place in their bag, but there are many with whom it Is popular, and it is possible that It will affect international play, for the American will hardly feel that he can afford to change clubs In accordance with the Britlslr-standard. Then, too, there Is a chance that the golfers In the United States may feel in duty bound to follow the rule which the St Andrews club haa put forth and pas a similar rule for this country, eo that the playing rule may be more nearly alike. There is undoubtedly a sentiment among many followers of th game in this country that the mullet putter and clubs of a similar nature . are too radical departure from the ancient game, and by them the rule of the Britisher is looked upon with favor. " ' r " Undoubtedly In the last few years freak club for all ' work have been the order rathor than the exception. Putter of every nature have been thrust upon the market until now thero are many which mako the play on the putting green more of a croquet match than otherwise. Th swing savors decidedly it the croquet style. Whether the mallet putter really makes the putting on the green easier or not- is much of a question, with strong sentiment arrayed on both sides. At any rate, those who use the mallet must get better results with it than with th original type, and the ban on the American club will un doubtedly affect the play of many British' players.

WRIGHTS AFTER MORE HONOR Dayton Aviator Propoie to Break Eecordi in October. ' ARE A&0USED BY EUROPEANS Report that French Machines Are Mom Capabl pnr Brother Inventor to Greater Effort. NEW YORK, May 21.-Ther Is almost certain to be at least one Wright biplane In th 1910 International aviation meet which Is to be held on Long Island next October. There is a possibility that, several aero plane built by th Dayton Inventor will be entered. Orville Wright explained last week that It waa a matter comparatively easy of ac complishment to build biplane of the Wright pattern to make almost any speed that wa required, or to carry any number of passengers within reason that It might bo desired to take aloft For Instance, a sped of sixty miles -an hour could easily bo attained by a machine specially built for that purpose, but that aeroplane would be good for mighty little else, Mr. Wriffht said, than this speed . work. In the same way a machine could be con structed with an eye solely to Its carrying power. So that If It wa wished to take up some 200 or 300 gallons for a long flight, whoreln rapidity of motion was les a desideratum, than duration, Jhls could b accomplished with ease and certainty. Theso remarks were taken to mean that tho Wright brothers Intend to go after some records speed, altitude and duration during the International meet. Although thy themselves will not drive the ma chines, with a bare possibility that Orville will go up, but almost none In tho world that Wilbur will do so at that time, some of Orville' cleverest pupils will undoubt edly get their opportunities at th Interna tional meet to show the stuff of which they are made and how thoroughly they have learned their lessons. Although neither Wilbur nor Orville would say so, It may be said on the very best authority that rather than see their pupils fall down In their efforts to prove the speed and stability of the Dayton In vention, ono or tho other of the brothers will "make ascent with a view to ending for many a day to come the report that foreign machine are swifter- or better adapted to long cross-country flight than iho Wright product' It is now being planned to organize the International meeting on a tremendously large scale, and already assurances have be;n given of ample support for making the meet the principal sporting attraction of the season.' The financial arrangement have been placed 'In the hands of Andrew Freed man and Lawrence L. Gillespie, and thty will shortly select a third man to cat with them. . . t It is stated that a very considerable sum will be appropriated for prizes, and that a novel program, including manoouverlngs and experiment never before attempted In public, will be arranged. Undoubtedly the chief event will bo the contest for tho international "cup and tho $3,000 purse which accompanies It. But surrounding Uhls event will bo others cal culated to test to the full every possibility of tho present heavler-than-air machine. .A feature will be made of the potential uses of the aeroplane In connection with tho military profession. AUTO ROAD RACE AT LOWELL Plan Belna; Laid to Make tho Event - ttnlto Eventful. - NEW YORK, May 21. There Is a strong movement afoot to hold an automobile road racing meet at Lowell, Mass., this autumn If the promoter carry out their plan suc cessfully the added event to the season's great motor racing card will be welcomed by all follower of the sport. Lowell was originally scheduled for a road race on the American Automobile association's calen dar. The date set was September 6. 8hortly after the Issuance of the schedule, however, the Lowell Automobile club backed down and the prospect of - racing in the Merrimao valley. was given up. The present movement plans to hold a two-day race meet the middle of September. , Just what result . will be met with is problematical. The situation is clearly up to the citizen of Lowell. If they will help out and support tho races, the Textile City will surely be the scene of a big road meet lng. This Is th substance of a "statement Issued by John O. Heinse, who ha been the prime mover In automobile racing at Lowell. According to Heinze the American Automobile association Is ready to sanction a meet, and the manufacturers to enter cars If the Lowell business men will come to the front It Is understood that Heinze will make a strong effort to swing the Lowell Auto mobile club around to his way of thinking. He recently returned to Lowell from a trip to this. city. While here Heinze conferred with people Interested in the speed game and wa given to understand that a meet ing at Lowell would be very acceptable. He wa given to understand that the ven ture would be supported enthusiastically. In the event of the plans being carried out, tho same course will probably be used as lost year. The raceway in the Merrimac valley i Well suited to motor speeding, pro vided It 1 put Into proper condition. Sep tember 16 to 17 have been suggested as the date for the meeting. It Is reported that steps will be taken shortly to secure Lth passage of the legislation necessary to permit the closing of the roads on the racing days. Speaking of the situation recently, Heinze aid: "Personally I will be saved much work if the citizens of Lowell do not want to have them, although I am convinced that to have them would undoubtedly be a good thing for the city. There are going to b raoea somewhere In New England this fall. and Lowell is thought of seriously by all of the men in Boston and New York who have ever been here. They consider the town the logical center for races in New England. If obstacle ar put in the path of promotion of this race, then the work which will be put In by any one or two men Is hardly worth while. If, on the other hand, the citizen really want the race, then they can have thera." TRACK MEET AT I)E9 MOINES Throe Hundred Hlh School. Athlete la Competition. PES MOINES, la..

Fairmont Race is Now Assured Effort to Be Hade to Hake Road Event Larg-er Than Ever Before. NEW YORK, May Jl.-Already they are commencing to prepare for their annual automobile road race In Philadelphia. It I now assured that the Falrmount Park vent will be held. If any belief existed that difficulty would be encountered In staging th third revival of th Quaker City' motor speed classic It has been re moved by a decision of th Falrmount Park commission. AT recent meeting of that board permission wa granted to th Quaker City Motor club on Octobeer 18. As the permission of the city authorities haa already been secured, assurance ar at hand that Philadelphia will again hav a speed spectacle in It front yard. It Is understood that the Quaker City Motor club will endeavor to make the race bigger than ever this year. The ambitious Quaker believe that It can be mad a worthy rival of the great Vanderbllt Cup and Grand Pris meetings. They point with, pride to last year' rac and declare that the 1910 revival will be even better. Of course, all this will be very enjoyable, and auto' race follower hop that the Quaker, will, carry out their plan In full. Th same rules that governed last year's event will prevail, fuch general satis faction waa expressed after the running of the 1909 race that it was not deemed ad visable to make any changes In th con ditions. The policing of the cpurse, itself a mammoth task, with the racers plunging over park driveway and through city streets, waa all that could be asked for. However, It Is understood that the course will be made faster. An attempt will also be made to secure a big entry list All the leading drivers will be sought, a well a the highest powered car. Secretary H. C. Harbach of the Quaker City Motor club made the formal request for permission to use the park. He said that it was the purpose of the club to ask the Department of Public Safety to supervise the police arrangements and the Department of Public Health and Chari ties to look after the financial return. The proceed of the grand stand seat sale, parking place and similar source of rev enue will again go to Philadelphia chari ties. FOREIGN TRADE IN AUTOMOBILES Business In This Country Amount to Million Dollars n Month. The foreign trade of tho United States in automobiles now amounts to $1,000,000 a month, or $12,000,000 per annum, of which sum about $4,000,000 are imports and $8,000, 000 exports. Ten years ago the trade In automobile wa not of sufficient value to Justify the bureau of statistics of the) De partment of Commerce and Labor in making a separate record of either the imports or exports, the few automobiles entering or leaving the country being Included under the miscellaneous class of "all 'other ar ticle." In July, 1901, however, tho bureau began to record the exports,1 which in tho fiscal year 1902 amounted to about $1,000,000, and since that time thereof exported to for eign countries has been In round terms $30, 000,000, of which $25,000,000 ha developed in the five years ending with December, 1908, with a prospect that the fiscal year 1910 will show, an export record of fully $S,000,- 000. ... In imports the record was not established until July,' 1905, when the total of automo biles and parts thereof Imported amounted to $4,000,000, in the fiscal year 1906 and 1907 over $6,000,000, but falling below that figure In succeeding years, making the total im portation for th five year ending De cember, 1909, for which a record exists, about $18,000,000 of automobiles and parts thereof,; - The shipments of automobllos and parts thereof to Alaska, Hawaii and Porto' Rico are $2,000,000, making the total value of the automobiles passing in and out of ports of the United States in the past five years about- $45,000,000. The imports are chiefly from France, Italy, Germany and the United Kingdom, and the exports to practically every coun try In the world, though the largest num ber go to Canada, the United Kingdom, Mexico and Australia. -The number sent to Canada In the fiscal year 1906 was 1,230, valued at $1,457,129; to ' England, 690 ma chines, valued at $1,(73,914; to France, 201 machines valued at $643,692; to Mexico, 2C0 machines, valued at $282,462, and to Aus tralia. 127 machines, valued at $31,426. The prices of those sent to European countries are, as a rule, higher, than that of the machines sentto Canada, Mexico and Aus tralia, the average price of those sent to France being over $3,000 each, according to the prices and numbers of machines re ported to the bureau of statistics; those to England average nearly $3,000 apiece; those to Canada about$l,200 and Mexico about $1,400 each, and those to Australia less than $050 each. ' . The total number of automobiles ex ported in the fiscal year of 1909 was, ac cording to the bureau of statistics' figures, S.184, valued at $6,887,021, an average value of about $1,700 for a machine, and the num ber imported 1,624, valued at $2,905,391, show ing also an average of about $1,700 for each machine.

Tallman, bis best sprinter, also quit on him this past week. but Delaney has not been dauntedj by the repeated setbacks. Because of a failure to turn In th en trle on time, Oklahoma university's track team will be barred from the meet next Saturday. This was the decision of the games committee at Des Moines this week. It was also decided that the Amnriun Athletlo union rules would govern the run ning of the relay races. Under the Amer ican Athletic rules a flying start of twenty feet Is allowed.

(CF F1TTW ma D) About twenty years ago I began to break out with Ecietna on toy head, legs and arms, and commenced treatment with the local doctor, i but did not get ranch relief. I continued to treat the disease under the direction of different physicians for two years, and at the end of that time they said the disease was chronic I then quit them and tried various ointments, salves, lotions, etc, for another two years, but soon I was as bad off as before, so I finally decided to let medicine alone, and for twelve or thirteen years I suffered intensely from the a, Ecxema. During the time I lost about half of my hair. At last I be. gan S. S. S., doubtful of a core, becanse the disease had run on so long, but I soon discovered that your medicine was doing me good, and continued to take it After taking S. S. 9. for awhile I was completely cured of the Eciema, not having a single spot left on my body, which before was almost completely covered with the eruption. I waited until the Spring to see if it would return, but have seen no signs of it, and am satisfied the cure is permanent It has been several years now and I do not believe I will ever have any return of the trouble. 1017 Hackberry St, Ottumwa, Iowa. F. C, NORFOLK. What S. S. S. did for Mr, Norfolk it can do for every one who1 afflicted with a Skin Disease. He is just one of the many thousands who have Cured themselves by the simple process of purifying the blood and removing the cause from the circulation. We want you to be cured if you have any skin troubles, and shall endeavor in this short talk to tell you just why S. S. S. will accomplish the desired result. The skin is composed of two distinct layers. One is known as the epidermis or outer skin, which has no fibres, and serves principally as ii covering to the body. ' The other is known as the derma or true skin, anf is composed of elastic fibres, fat tissue, glands, lymphatics, nerves, etc. The thousands of tiny veins and arteries with which this lower section is interlaced, supplies the cuticle with healthful properties from the circu lation to keep the skin smooth and healthy. We can therefore readily see how necessary it is for the blood to be pure if the skin remain free from disease, and also why humors and acids in the circulation always find their way to the surface and cause skin affections. All skin troubles are due to a humor or acid in the blood. Instead of supplying rich, nutritive properties to the cuticle, the circulation constantly deposits an acrid impurity into the sensitive fibres and tissues. This causes inflammation of the under layer of the skin which splits or breaks the thin outer tissue and causes an ulceration of the glands, producing a discharge upon the surface, in the form of Eczema, Tetter, Salt Rheum, r etc. There is likewise a dry form of skin disease such as Acne, Psoriasis, 7 etc. In these varieties the humor in the blood diseases the pores, hair follicles, etc., causing them to swell and protrude to the outer surface. Pimples, rashes, eruptions and like troubles are all due to impure bloo and only a blood purifier can cure them. Salves, washes, lotions. etS. will perhaps afford some temporary relief from the itching, and assist in keeping the skin clean, but such treatment can have no effect on the humors in the blood, and therefore never do any permanent good. J S. Si S. cures Skin diseases of every kind by neutralizing the acids and removing the humors from the blood. S. S. S. cools the acid-heated circulation, builds it up to its normal strength and thickness, multiplies its rich, nutritious corpuscles, and adds to its purity and nourishing qualities in every way. Then the skin, instead of being irritated and inflamed by fiery humors and acids, is nourished, soothed and softened by a plentiful supply of rich, pure blood. S. S. S. is the greatest of all . . blood purifiers and therein lies its ability to cure skin diseases. It cures Eczema, Acne, Tetter, Salt Rheum, pimples, boils, rashes and all eruptions of the cuticle. These troubles cannot remain when the cause has been removed, and S. S. S. will certainly remove the cause by puri fying the blood. Book on Skin Diseases 'free to all who write.
