expressed a de
sire to enter a ring In Madison

against a worthy -challenger In a de

flattering offers have been made to
most of the title holders. Fighters
prefer to meet mediocre opponents In

less money and keep their valuable
assets until they ean perform for

firing that a possible lucky punch
will land in a dangerous spot,
which happens about once in 10
years.
Pancho Villa, flyweight king; Joe
Lynch, bantam champion, and Jack
Bernstein, who leads the way in the

vision, are the three in question.
Villa is one of the busiest of the
boxers. The Filipino flash is young,
ambitious and his manager keeps him
so. He has four fights scheduled
within the next four weeks, the first
of which will be with Nate Carp in
Detrot Monday night. This Carp per
son Is a third rater who may make it
interesting enough so Villa can get

not going to take on anything dan

in Detroit. There is too much big
money in New York when he wants
to risk the title he took by flatten

Flush Your Kidneys Occa
sionally by Drinking ;
Quarts of Good Water.
No man or woman can make a mis
take by flushing the kidneys occasion
ally, says a well-known authority.
Too much rich food creates acids
which clog the kidney pores so that
they sluggishly filter or strain only
part of the waste and poisons from
the blood. Then you get sick. Rheu
matism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, constipation, dizziness,
sleeplessness, bladder disorders often
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache In
the kidneys or your back hurts, or if
•the urine Is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment. Irregular of passage, or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, be
gin to drink soft water In quantities;
also get about four ounc<s« of Jad
Halts from any reliable pharmacy
and take a tablespoonful In a glass
„f water before breakfast for a few
(I i s and your kidneys may then art
fine.
This famous salts Is made from the
aehl of grapes and lemon Juice, com
bined with llthla, and has been used
for. years to help flush clogged kid
neys and stimulate them to activity,
also to help neutralize the acids In
the system so they no longer cause
Irritation, thus often relieving blad

Discussion Regarding Size and Weight
Co o
of Golf Ball Detrimental to Player
Stun Reynolds, state golf champion,
says that tho only trouble with the
feverish discussion aboitt the size and
weight of the golf ball Is that It Is
taking the attention of the golfer off
more important things. A few years
ago the golfer would go out on the
links and have a good time with al
most any kind of an old golf ball. He
paid no attention to the ball, but
gave some serious thought about how
he planted his feet and howr he held
his head. He was careful Rbout Ills
grip and tried to cultivate the practice
of keeping his eye on the ball.
It Is possible that many golfers are
getting the impression that all that
Is necessary to play a good game of gulf
is a highly animated golf ball. That
is not necessarily correct. Fast ball
or slow ball, small bill or large hall,
the fact still remains that one of the
details of the game is to get from tee
to cup In least number of stroges. The
closer he can come to one, the bet
ter.
The wide difference of opinion ex
pressed about the golf ball leads to
the conclusion that somebody must be
wrong in his calculations about the
elusive pill. All of these expressions
of opinion cannot be right. One thing
Is certain, no matter how they change
the ball, the game of golf is going to
be Just as difficult to play as it ever
was.
A good plan for the golfer to follow
Is to forget about any possible change
which may or may not be made In the
golf ball in a year or two and pay the
strictest attention to improving his
own game. A lighter nnd larger bull
Is not going to help a hit If you do not
keep your eye on It and keep your
head down. A golf ball with wings
would not fly very far If the player
shuffled his feet all around the tee!
before he hits It.

^OMAHA CHAPTER-^
Every Hunter and Fisherman’s Duty
By RAFPII WAGNKR.
SOON one of the most vital bills
that has ever been proposed in
the Interest of our migratory
bird will be introduced in the na
tional senate. This bill, known as the
"federal migratory bird and land
leasing bill," was drafted by the
Tznak Walton T.eague of America .and
will be sponsored by Senator Medll
McCormick of Illinois. Senator .Mc
Cormick was chosen and elected by
the sportsmen of his state for the sole
purpose of pushing this measure
through.
Tins bill is the complement of the
original migratory bird hill, that
lias proven such a boon to our migra
tory birds. I'nder tin* protection of
the migratory bird hill (lie game birds
and songsters have increased wonder
fully. but their great and pesent needs
are sanctuaries and added protection.
We have advanced to the point
where everyone realizes this faet, and
the nation wide support of all should
ho given to this bill. It lias every rea
son to succeed and none to fail. It
is strictly nonpolitirnl nor does it
affert in any way any business or
private Interests. It is wholly and
purely an unselfish effort to make
secure one of the main factors of
our great recreational outdoors.
Kvery man and woman is interested
in its passage for it guarantees a
priceless endowment for themselves
anil their chldren. However, write
a letter in support of this hill to
your representatives ill Washington.
Senator Renroot Is chairman of the
committee in charge of this bill. When
this bill is passed we ran safely say
we liavo taken the next great step in
the program of conservation of our
wild birds. Rut un expression of pub
lic opinion is necessary for the suc
cess of any measure, and this bill,
high principled and necessary as it is.
depends for Its passage strictly on
public opinion. No great moneyed in
terests are hacking this bill, no fac
tions are fighting it, but if It is to go
through you and R. and' fell other
outdoors men, will have to let offi
cial Washington kriow that we de
mand expansion. Write your sena
tors and congressmen today, and
this measure will soon be a law.
When this bill was up before, three
congressmen vt^ted for it and three
against it. The three who voted
against the bill did just the thing the
men who help put them in office
didn't want them to do.
Don't delay. Write your senators
.ind congressmen today. If you
don’t hunt or fisli, perhaps your
sons will when they get old enough.
Don't be selfish.
Don’t put off until tomorrow what
you can do today. Write your sena
tors and congressmen today telling
them to vote "yes," for federal mi
gratory bird and land leasing bill.”

Basket bail has been a great game,
tint it suffered from lark of publicity.
Another good oar in the same boat is
soccer football.
Soccer Is played all over the world
ami calls for a better class of ath
letes than any other game. It is
ihnpited Into two halves. Karh lialf
is 40 minutes long and the
game is a combination of pedestrian
|mlo and ankle billiards.
A soccer player has to run further
to mnke an ordinary foul play than
a college football player haa to go1
when he make* a great touchdown.
They’re always scampering around
hi soccer like mice in a burning
barn. The only man who takes It
easy is the goalkeeper. All the
others run themselves bowlegged
and bark again.
The biggest crowd ever patched to
gether for an American sporting
event is the picnic party present at
the Jiempsey Kirpo fight. There were
;if>4)00 friends at that fight and they
all had a good time except Firpo.
A 90,000 crowd at an international

IIAT seems to be the trouble

We wonder if file readers
can guess?
Surely every follower of amateur
hall knows that I,eo Krupski
throws with his right hand and
that Jimmie Moore is left handed.
The pictures were not taken that
way, but are part of a little trick
the photographer played on the
boys.
Moore and Kmpskl compose the
pitching sttaff that brought a city
championship to the Woodmen of
Ilic World team last season. I gist
year during the league season of
the metropolitan league, Moore
turned in lfl wins against one loss
for tiie lodgemen. Krupski, al
though he did not work in as many
games as Moore, turned in fi\e
wins against one loss. I^eo Krup
ski is the holder of the city's strike
out rerord, striking out 23 bats

Heds the bet-c
chance, upon

and conditions, to
win th? National

this year, basing
his predilection
upon the recent

ident Baker of the Phillies touches
upon a subject that has been served
red hot off the stove league for more
than a month.
HaveHhe Reds the strongest pitch
ing staff In captivity at this lime?
This is a hard question to answer,
for the reason that Jakle May, the
left-handed phenom secured from
Vernon of the Pacific Coast league, is
a comeback to the majors after none
too good a season, and Tom sthaaban
the wonder pitcher of the American
association, secured from St. Paul,
while lie has had one major league
call, has yet to be fully tested by
the major lekgue curning, prowess
and pace. And then it is also most
uncertain what Carl Mays, for nine
years an invincible pitching ace of
the American league, will be able to
do. now that he is called in -ids first
decline to pitch a pennant into Red
land. Mays sat on the Yankee bench
during the most of last year, experi
encing his first bad reason. How
much has he gone back? And even
if he has gore back, will his under
hand ball not be a puzzle for at least
one season to National league bats
men? Only time can answer these
questions. But it «eems sure that
f Mays shows any of his old time ef
fectiveness that the Reds have a fine
chance to win, for they have secured
in May and Sheehan two of the stare
cf double A company. And mind you.
the Reds had a mighty pitching eta ft
left over from last vear when one
considers Luque, Rixey. Donohue and
Eenton.
Luque leading pitcher of all base
ball. won 27 and lost 8 last season.
Rixey won 28 and lost 15. Donohue
won 21 and lost 15. Renton won 14
and lost 18. Here are 82 victories
by this sterling quartet. Here hi
almost a pennant. !f these four do
as well next year It will look rosy
for the Reds.
The 1923 records of the pitchers
added to the Red staff are rather
hard to classify. Carl Mays took
r*rt in but seven games, and while
he won five of tltm. yet he ranked
aim. st last in his league in earned
run average per game, being aa had
as 6.22. Jakie May, the coast mar
vel. had a record last year that wa/i
far from marvelous. Sheehan has a
fine record. He won 31 and lost 9
in the strong double A circuit whence
he came.
