The Hnnflowrr solorts harked hark to Mount piinal. but the great la-Ktver failid of the hit needed to win. Ilia fourth com mandment waa read In defense of the antl liunday bas ball bill, hut read in vain. 'i lia measure wa defeated. Without going Into th merits of thla bill or lamia, wa may Bay with candor that had It passed tha effect would have been very keenly felt In the Western league. Topeka at beet had a struggle laat aeaxon and Wl hita waa bona too strong-, though a good town. To have shut down on the game on the biggest day of the week would certainly hav been aevere blow. Frank Isbell had threatened to take hla Wichita team over to Pueblo and Pueblo waa anxious to receive him. Uouhtlcaa.lt would have done Its heat by the club, which may or may not have been aa much a Wichita would M J2frw?m v done, for we have one failure charged may now make. But Topeka what would it have done? There-waa no available city of refuge whither It could fly. There waa nothing for the new management to do but atay and try to weather the atorm. To be aure the schedule maker might have offered some relief, but tiot enough to compensate whan It la remembered that they already have one Sunday-tight town Lincoln to take care of. This would have made three, rather a heavy teat of their resources. The result of the vote whs heralded around the circuit, naturally, with much eclat, also glee. And It waa not such a walkaway, either, the vote standing t lo 44. No telling what will happen In two years. Thoae Kansans are stayera. They never say die. But that la another matter. In two years the Interest of Omaha and two or three other Western league cities may be transferred to larger pastures. In the meantime, here Is another cham for the new Topeka, management to gi t In aome good work, and ahow what It tan do under favorable circumstances. Speaking of the "war talk," the asser tions that tha American association Is go ing to Invade major league territory, I the Kansas City correspondent to the ! a Sporting News says tt it is strange to see "why thla report should be Ai revived regarding the American associa tion, aa there is not a league In the coun try where there la aa much peace and quietude as In thla circuit. Not a mag ye7ite dreams of war. It Is foolish to think ef such a thing." (Kindly do not laugh.) s It really is a shame ta rouse a man . when . he Is sleeping like that. But If our friend and compatriot will slip back over tha files ef the Bportlng News and a few other pa pers in the country ha probably can find where Cousin George Tebeau, himself, the Alpha and Omega of the American asso ciation, declare that aa soon aa the Amer ican association frenohlse with the higher courts of base ball run out the end of 1U he will ba found biasing a new trail Into faater company, or words to that ef fect. But back, far back, of thla authori tative ultimatum by Wnlte Wings is am ple evidence to Justify any man In going as far aa he pleaeea with this "war talk.' Nothing doing "how and not until tha pre ent year 1 passed, but then yea. What do you take White Wings for? Why did he put himself to tha trouble of cornering thla market, anyway, if net to cash tt In? It is a aweet song to ainv, nut lata In the day for It. Nobody with a serious notion on base ball la tweaking hie neighbor's nose just now because he la looking for ward to the advent ef tha third major league, led by Oeorga Tebeau of Kansas 1 City, Mo., and a few other well-known oltlee. The wrestlers' trust la not yet busted re smooth-fingered promoters are still reaping large returns on their investment on foreign Junk.

These men, especially Burns, have been trying te ent toe Doo Boiler back onto the mat and many fana would Ilka to aea one of them against him, They have repented ef their offenses In Seattle and r ready ta go in and show up the doctor.

Simtrrn Hespond. Pennsylvania has gone Harvard three better, aa sixteen base ball men have re ported for battery practice. Coach Thomas wanted to get his box man and receivers Into working shape early this year, so his first call was only for three men, and a likely bunch reported and started' work. Of the sixteen there were thirteen pltchera and three catchers. This is a promising outlook for the Red and Blue this year, aa a number of the candidates are knowm to be first-class liall players. The catchers who reported ar Cozens, llowk and Gordon. Coaen has played with the Red and Blue for th past two years, and la recognized as one of the best college catchers In the country. His great forte 1 In Judging a batter. Hawk substituted Cozen last year and was an able man for the position. Gordon caught for the freshmen and was one of th stars of the team. Before coming to Pennsyl vania he played for Plcklnson college, where he made a reputation aa a back stop. With these three men on the receiv ing end, Pennsylvania should not have any trouble holding Its own behind the bat. Many Men.' Many of the pitcher are new men, yet there are enough for the supporters of the Red and Blue to feel sure of a gopd slab staff. Csptaln Schultz, who heads the staff. has pitched for the Red and Blue for th last two years and haa been responsible for Pennsylvania winning the champion ahtp those two years. He Is recognized throughout the college world a one of the great ent pitcher of recent years, and has received offer from several professional men. Schults is ably assisted by Marshall of last year's team, who waa th find of the year. He has the greatest variety of curve of any of th pitchers, and wltb a little more experience .should make a re liable twlrter. Pierce, who waa a substi tute pitcher Jast year, ha plenty of speed and i a southpaw. Imlay, Jone and Wal lace, of the freshman team last year, ar good men. and are expected to make good on the varsity, The other candidate will report for practice about the middle of February. ' Among the western Institutions, the Northwestern university squad has already atarted spring practice under the tuition of Coach -JBob Lynch. Captain Marsh la making a thorough canvass in every de partment of the university for material, and he says th outlook for a large at tendance at the first practice Is assured. Already sixty" men hav decided to try for the team. Among the above men are all of laat year' players with the eioep. tlon of former Captain Jacobson, Odell and Wilcox. Material I Good. An ample amount of slab artists is In evidence. Among the best known are Man- ley, Parker, Ray Lamk. Schults and Carr. It i believed that Mauley has thoroughly recovered from the Injury In his shoulder received two year ago and which severely handicapped nlm last year. Parker, the negro twlrler of last year's freshman team, will probably give a good aocount of him self, as he la a player with a strong record behind him; Lamks will be unable to en gage actively in the early spring practice on account of basket ball, affiliations; Schults, the emergency man of last sea son, will undoubtedly be a desirable asset, and Carr, with hla southern wing, will fur nish variety for th men at the stick. At present catchers ar at a premium, as only two experienced men are lined up Denton, '13. and Schaffer of the Dental achool. Keen competition will exist in the infield, for at least two or three strong candidates are out for racb position. A large showing from the professional sclrools Is not counted 'on until after the semester examinations, and Coach Lynch says that no practice at all will be at tempted during the examination period. Things are much the same in every part of the country. Kvery school or college boy who has any bane bail ability Is work ing hard to prepare himself to play hla part in tha national game.

It would naturally be supposed that most major league ball players hailed from some larae town, wbere they could be seen by big league scouts and early In life get into touch with organized ball; but. as a matter of fact, most of them hail from villages little known to fame and lightly resarded by th.. census takers.

Perhaps no one player on either the Chicago or Philadelphia learn came In for more attention than Krdle 'Collins. lie was graduated from Columbia university, and to look at him one would never guess that he flret saw the light of day in Mlllerton, N. Y. JUKt where Mlllerton Is located Is a rather difficult question to answer, but It suffices to say that it is somewhere in this state. Jack Coombs, who was the mainstay of the Athletics, Is now listed in the city di rectory at Kennebunk, Me., If that burg Is fortunate enough to boast such a luxury. It la generally supposed that Coombs is a real Maine stater; but such Is far from being the esse, as L Grande, la.,, claims htm as Its favorite son. King Cole, who practically kept the Chicago Cubs In the running last summer, first Jumped into fame as the star pitcher of the Bay City Mlch.) team: but Bay City la a long way from Cole's native heath. Cole was born In Toledo, not the hustling Ohio burg of that name, but a wide spot in ths road in the wilds of Iowa. When any one asks Col where he was born ho hastily replies Toledo and then shifts the conversation. Cy Morgan of the Athletics came Into being at Pomeroy, Ta. Frank Chance and Orvllle Overall of the Cub ar two native sons of California, who swear by the sunshine and flowers. On would hardly think, however, that two suclr athletes would hall from Fresno and Viaalta, respectively. From the way Frank Baker playa base ball you would never suppose that he atarted life with a heavy handicap, euch a being born In Trappe, Md. Miner Brown came from Rosedale, Ind., and Chief Bender emitted hi first warhoop at Brainerd, Minn. There are many fana who could not point out the location of these towns, but few indeed who could not Instantly give any desired information aa to the base ball records of the men. Tigers and Phillies to Play This Spring President of the Two Teami Will Arrange Games in the South. i DF.TROIT, Mich.. Jan. 28.-The Phillies and th Tiger are to play a spring series, probably tfbout the middle of March. President Navln of ths Detroit club arid President Fogel of the Philadelphia Na tional will soon arrange th place and date. Th game will be played either at Monroe, tha Tigers' training quarter, or at Birmingham, where Dooln'a charges are to do their spring work. Th proposition cam from th Detroit magnate,. and when Fogel had perused the challenge he said: "That sound good to me. It will at last give me an opportunity to get a shot at that club. Jennings aatd we were good for seventh place last year, but against all the handicap that confronted us we fin ished In fourth place. That was Just as high as Jennings' team finished In the American league. I am anxious to see how the mighty Cobb will compare in a aerie with Sher wood Magee. It will also give us a chance to see tfush and Doo I In. the two great shortstops, at work on th same -diamond. I understand that the Detroit club I to try out a humber of new players this season, but even with all their veterans In th lineup I am positive that the Phillies can beat them In a series. Mr. Navln has suggested that the game be played at Monroe, Ala., but I think both clubs will profit much better If w play at Birming ham, which is on of th beat base ball cities in the south."

Philadelphia Record RUNG EXPOUNDS BASE BALL Cub tatcner Relieves in bcientaic flavin; ot tne Game. HOW GAMES AHL WON AND LOST John a r ( lalme that t a tehee 4tft l.oaes t.aiae by Tkroalns Array the Rail at Critical limes. Although John Kllng. the Cub' tmnuiia , rather, did not play up to his best form In the world s series last fall, he still re- 1 cehes credit for knowing all of t lie fine points btbind the bat. Kllng was asked the other day to give a talk on the scien tific methods employed In base ball, and this Is what he said: "When I waa a pitcher In semi-professional teams around Kansas City 1 lost many games by trying to do too much, by throwing too often and by wearing myself out by wasted efforts. I wa a failure as a ball player In several towns before expe rience taught me that one play at the right Instant is worth ten at any oilier time. It was the old stitch In time to save nine Idea, but It did more for me than anything else to win games and to bring me up In the profession. "When I began catching one of the firat ihliiK" I learned waa that the catcher can break up a team quicker than anyone else can. He need not even make an error to do It. One of the easleat ways to lose a game is for the catcher to throw too much. He may throw perfectly and yet by keep ing th infield moving and out 6f posi tion, epecting hi throw and studying him Instead of watching the batter, h msv cause the game to be lost. "My idea has been to make plays when hey count and not to use too many sig nals. The infieldera have a lot to waicn, and if the catcher keeps them watching him all the time he takes their minds off heirother duties and causes them to mkke blunders. Catcher Skoold Be Awake. "First and foremost in importance in winning is that the catcher never snan make or attempt to make any play, espe cially a throw, unless absolutely certain that the other men in the play have caugnt thd signal, understand what Is to be at tempted, and are prepared to make the play with him. There comes a time in almost every nan game when the opposing team has a good chance to win by scoring a lot of runs in a bunch. The inning In whloh that happens s the one In which the catcher ought to pull off his play. In such a situation when team Is having a batting rally, it la twice as easy for a catcher to catch men off bases by fast throws than it la at any other slag of the contest. The team that is rallying; and sees vic tory almost in hand always Is excited, and the base runners take more liberties, longer leads and lose their heads quicker ban at any other time. Excitement robs them of their natural caution ana tne catcher who keeps cool and keeps think ing csn catch runners off their bases frequently, and perhaps break up a win ning rally and save the game. The Cubs have done that many times, and it helped them win pennant. I am not claiming I won those games. Confi dence in each other Is one of the big ele ments in winning games. The catcher who doe not have confidence In his In field is afraid to throw, and even when he doe throw he throws timidly. "A bad first baseman or. one in whom the others have no confidence makes tiaa throws of all. 1 believe, in helping um pires and doing all J can to make their work easier. If they are let alone and not nagged at, their work is much more satis factory. I am not put out ot ball games. I take as much interest as anybody, but cannot see the use of kicking on de cisions."

Mobs Try to See the Boxing Exhibitions Being Held in London Fifteen Thousand Stand in a Blizzard Clamoring: for Admission to the Arena. NKW YORK, Jan. 2 The success which has attended the efforts of Hugh l. Mc intosh to raise the piano of boxina mmn ov(r, of the rt n i,n(ior, dlposca of reports sent out that the lessee of the big arena at Olympla wns dissatisfied with the conditions which prevail and was about to leave the field for some one elae. The fart Is that st one of the recent bouts held at Olympla fully 15.000 persons waited four hours, struggling for admission, a bllmard raging at the time, and making It an extraordinary occasion altogether. Mcintosh and Jimmy ftrltt, who Is as sociated in this venture with the Aua tralian, seem to have touched the keynote of the situation through the medium ot popular prices, which run from approxi mately 00 cents to 110. with seats for nil. At the Molr-Wells bout every scat wrs sold an hour before the doors were opened, and before the fight atarted hundreds were willing to pay almost anything to get within the Inclosure. An attempt was made to prevent apectators standing, and on the whole the methods of the manage ment have met with nothing but praise, as Londoners now know that they ran wit ness the best boxlns: bouts at a moderate price and also be assured of comfort. On February 1 Porky Flynn of Boston, who recently defeated Jack (Twlnl Sulli van. wil box Jack Burns of California, who was. beaten by Bill I.ans recently, Sam T.angford will be In Flynn's corner. Because of some dissatisfaction over the outcome of the Wells-Molr match arrunge ments are making to bring this pair to gether again on February . What is expected to be the bsttle of the sesson Is carded for February 15, when Sam Langford and Bill Lang box. This will be at twenty rounds and the winner will challenge Jack Johnson for the world's championship. In all likelihood adverse reports concern ing Mcintosh arose because his lease ot Olympla Annex expires on February 24. He expects to secure another ble building so as to provide Londoners with the same quality of sport as at the Annex. Mcintosh desires to get a building which will give him more room and one In which he can have at least eight months' uninterrupted boxing each year. It is his intention, if he cannot secure the building he Is now negotiating for, to return to Australia, taking with him some of the best Kngllsh boxers for contests in the Sydney stadium. He intends to return to Kngland, however, in time for corona tion week, when he hopes to stage the world's championship heavyweight conleBt. TALK IS MIGHTY EXPENSIVE Statistical Shnninw uf the lust of Plain lVindiammlna in tooaresa. Like the famous discovery of dry farming out west, because of the hoofprint of a mulo. the economy of words In congress was precipitated by horseshoes, i It hap pened last Xlarch. Th State department had an Item of $237.66 for horseshoeing. Representatives Hamlin and Clark of Missouri, aald that was where they came from. The secre tary of state couldn't show the shoes, which had been worn out while be saved the country. Great excitement ort the part of the gentlemen from Missouri, also quarter of an hour of oratory. Then up rose Representative Burke from Pennsyl vanla. "Gentlemen, It costs 110.000 an hour to run this house, and wa have already spent 13,500 worth of words trying to skin a 137 Item. Ijet's quit!" When the current session began there were half a dozen others all primed and loaded for the next orator who tried their patience; and these were the statistics they had garnered. The total of the year's appropriation for the upkeep of the house was 824.10. Actual working days number ninety, and the average time of a day's work is five hours. The normal S.1G0 hours In ninety days make the house expense run into 12.114.73 per hour, on a twenty-four-hour basis. But allowing only five hours of honest work per day, the expense amounts to 110,578.65 per hour. The salary roll of the members amounts to 12.9S9.500. Their mileage is $154,000. The clerks cost $.".98. M0 for those who are cred ited to members, and $138,800 for clerks of committees. There are a number of minor Items, among them the salary of $1,200 that goes to the chaplain who prays for con gress' wisdom. He is about the poorest paid of all, considering the size of his job. The details of these statistics took about three minutes of all this valuable time when they were passed around the house; but everybody realized that the $500 or so It cost was better spent that any money congress has appropriated since It began business.

The acceptance of this Information over a large part of the civilized world la as sured a welcome, since the hour of Paris. )o The news value of any advertisement depends entirely on its truthfulness and common sense. Based upon these two facts we hope to meke this short talk of special interest to all persons who are afflicted with an old sore or chronic ulcer. If in presenting the merits of S.S.S. as a cure for these troubles, our line of reasoning appeals to you, it will be an easy matter to prove the truthfulness of our statements by sending you a free book containing many testimonials from persons in every part of the country who have been cured of an old sore or chronio ulcer by the use of S. S. S. Whenever a sore or ulcer becomes chronic or refuses to heal, it is because of bad blood; the healing qualities of the circulation have been weakened by impurities or poisons in this vital fluid. The blood is the great source of nourishment for all flesh tissues. As it constantly circulates throughout the system it carries the necessary nutrient properties to every portion of the body. It is because of this continual replenishrnent that the flesh remains firm and healthy and free from disease. Since the blood exercises such an important and necessary function we can easily understand why impurities or poisons in this vital fluid so often infect and disease the flesh at some particular spot, and by continually discharging impurities into it cause the form ation of old. sores or chronic ulcers. Every symptom of an old sore suggests diseased blood. The inflammation, discharge, discolored flesh, and the fact that external applications never have any curative effect on these places, show that deep down in the circulation there is a morbid cause that prevents the place from healing. But more convincing proof that bad blood is responsible for old sores is furnished by the fact that even removing every visible trace of tne ulcer Dy surgical operation, does not cure. THEY ALWAYS RETURN. Only by cleansing Jhe blood of the poisonous cause can an old sore be cured. x S. S. S. heals them by going down into the circulation and removing the cause from the blood. When this has been done there is no longer left any inflammatory impurity or infectious matter to irritate the place, and nature causes the nat ural and permanent healing of the ulcer. When S. S. S. has purified the blood and the place is once more nourished with pure, rich blood, then every symptom disap pears, and it is not a surfac cure. but the place is firmly and solidly healed from the bottom to the outer skin. S. S. S. is recognized as the greatest of all blood purifiers, and therein lies its ability to cure old sores. It is purely vegetable, containing no mineral in any form, and its nne tonic effects are always helpful in overcoming the impure systemic effects of an old sore. Forty years of cures is the record of S. S. S., and what it has done in thousands of cases we feel perfectly safe in saying it will do in your case if you are anucted with an old sore. We have a special treatise on send free to all who desire it. It contains the statements of many witnesses as to the efficacy of S. b. S. We will also send free any medical advice you desire.
