He waa always a (treat ball player and la today. He waa alwaya heady and la today. He know about everything ther la to know of the game. Moreover, he la playing It to queen's taat right now and teaching, or wiping to teach, younger men with leaa experience than Mmsclf.

Pick In working for the good of the team, to win game; he Isn't taking the aelflah view which all too many men In hla po- altlon take that he had better keep to himself what he apent thoae twenty year to get.

Omaha'a experleno at Bloux City waa a little disappointing, for It waa hoped the team would get Instead of lose two of the , three games. However, It la making ; plendid beginning and must be reckoned Kh by th team that win th pennant year. That la apparent now. Of course .fie team was crippled at Bloux City by the abaenc of Kneavea at short. It cam away from that city of champions, how ever, atlll leading th league, which Is some satisfaction..

Th lawn mower got busy on th Omaha Field club course last week and out all th long grass. Lost balls are therefor a thing of th past at thia club. To replace long grass hasards trees hav been planted over th course and bunker built fh va rious places. Th bunker and ttoe have tor th most part been placed on the west and south sides, as th course Is considered plenty dlffloult enough on th north and east. Will Clarke, th professional In charge of club golf, Intends to have the golf com ml t tee out next week and establish a new bogy for th course, unless they decide th old on atanda with th new hazards. Pur veylng will also be don and th cxaot measurements of th distance taken. Hoi No. IS at th Field club has been shortened atxty-flv yard, making th hoi 100 yards long. This is on of th shortest distanc holes In the oountry and It will requlr som finesse to drive to It and not many yards beyond It. It haa been mada an "island" hole, with bunkers surrounding It on all sides and requiring a mass shot to get th ball lnsid so It can be putted in. Hole No. IS has beta extended seventy- five yards, and on this hoi will be the undulating green, the first one In Omaha. It is 100 feet square and covered with little hammocks from eight to sixteen Inch In height Sweet clover ha been sown on this green and Mr. Clarke declare that it will be ready for use for th slat tour- nay In July. Hasards ar placed on either Bid for protection and to allow slicing over th littl undulations, and In front Is a big protecting bunker, which also serves as a pool for Hoi No. 8. See your dealer.

International Polo Trophy Match Will Depend on Ponies Patriots' Hopes High tliat American Horses Are Best in the ' Speedy Game. NEW TORK. April 2.-Th chanc to win- th International Tolo trophy, the games for which will be played over the Meadow Brook field on May O. Jun t and 7 between picked teams of American and English pollute, depends larg upon th ponle. Of course skill with th mallet fine horsemanship and the ability to grasp an opportunity will hav much to do with th result But th pony Is th thing. And the American players own th bet ponle In th world. Ther ar many polo ponies, and th Idea prevails that th polo pony that posseeses the greatest speed Is th best pany. But h Is not. A first class pony must be fast, but unless he can catch his stride quickly, stop suddenly, spin around like a top, back and shift and twist at the command of his rider his speed Is of littl service. In order to come under th category of good ponle a pony must be under com plete control. Ho must respond Immed iately too th demands of his rider. He must start after th ball like a flash, fol low It up but never go beyond It. And then when the scrimmages com th pony must be steady on his fet and robust enough to push and shove his opponent out of th way. Fart ponies that are not subject to per fect control ar wore than useless. If. as pololsts say, "they do not know th gam," they ar a handicap. Nearly all th ponies now used In polo gamea ar half for thre-cuarter bred. In som case they are stunted thoroughbreds. Many a fast pony, obstlnat and xoitd by th srruggly for th ball, ha spoiled th re sult of the gam for his master's sld by bolting off th field carrying his struggling and unwilling rider far beyond th seen of the contest. All th essential points of a first class pony Is attained only after years of train ing and careful riding. A pony is at his best when he Is about 7 or 8 years of age. By that time he will be well developed and should hav learned th lessons about th game taught him by hi trainer. Tears of campaigning tend to round out a clever fast pony Inta th best kind of bora for the polo field. Knowing as they do th value of sea soned, well educated, fast courageous and sturdy ponies. It is not to be wondered at that the American and English polo players have fairly scraped th world over to obtain mounts. Fortunes have . been paid for th beet During th last three year Harry Payn Whitney ha spent 1100,000 for them. Th loyal Britishers last year by public subscription collected $50,000, all of which was expended buying ponies. In this search toi ponies the American players got th jump on their English ad- versarlea and, in the vernaoular of th aatsld. "beat them, too." Sine 1908, Whitney has been preparing; for these polo contests. Like a good general, his command was planned a long time ahead of his attack. He quietly gathered to gethr many fin ponies bred in Ireland, England, America and th Argentine Re public, practiced with them tor mora than a year, and then went over to Hurllngham In 1909 and won th cup, which had been In th English pololsts' possession tor twenty-three years. Sine that notable triumph Whitney has added many new ponies to his string, and long befor the English pololsts began to hunt for new mounts h had bought many of th best Th Englishman had to take the horses Whitney left Don't Wear a Truss s i u an i s nui-in-rnus are dlnarsnt from ths painful IniM, bing aiaos self adhesive rurposslr t hold ths rupinrs la filar wlafcoat strap, backs rare or spring;! mmmmt slip, so csasot chefs or oont SrUaM UMII iw--. .uaistotMtl BAM 1.HS ta ths Brlvacv nf th lS- Juvste.

Based upon these two (acta we hope to make thia abort talk of apecial intareat to all peraona who are afflicted with an old sore or chronic ulcer. If in presenting the merits ol S.S.S. aa a cure lor these troubles, our line of reasoning; appeals to you, it will be an eaay matter to prove the truthfulness ol our atatements by aending you a free' book containing many testimonials from persons in every part ol the country who have been cured ol an ol J sore or chronic ulcer by the use ol S. S. S. t 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. 1 he blood is the creat 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 replenishment 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 poison 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 or old sores or chronic ulcers. Every symptom of an old sore suteests 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 tores is furnished by the fact that even removinc every visiwe trace or the uicer ty surgical operation, does not cure. THEY ALWAYS RETURN. Only by cleansing the blood of the poisonous cause can an old sore be cured, b. b. 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 impurit) or infectious matter to irritate me 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 surface cure. but the place is firmly and solidly healed from the bottom to the outer skin. b. 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 fine tonic effects are always helpful in overcoming the impure systemic effects or. an old sore, rorty years or 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 afflicted with an old sore. We have a special treatise on Old Sores which we will be glad to send free to all who desire it. It contains the statements of many witnesses as to the efficacy of S. S. S. We will also send free any medical advice you desire. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO.. ATLANTA, GA. CURED MAN AND WIFE. It fives me pleaaur to relate my expariano with . B.
