wore 2y teams to rompet with and It It
with pardonable pride that Omaha bowlers
may point to 'Dad1' Huntington's team
and say, "Well done, thou food and faith
ful bowlers. Whalll yer have?"
The Omaha team made a score of 2.711.

Tli Omaha team came within two pint
of seventh place and only nine from sixth
place. From first place Huntlnrtoa's
bowlers were only eighty-two pins behind
In the totals. incidentally the Omaha
will bring back $226 of the prise money,
or rather what thoy have left of that
amount after buying a few sacks of pea
nuts and a cigar or two to celebrate tho
occasion with.
In connection wltn the showing just
made by the Omaha bowling team It may
not be amis to again refer to the scores
made lust May on the local association
alleys by this team. In one series of three
games the toam made a,280 pins, which has
been recognized at the highest score of the
year for throe successive gtiraes by a five-
man team. The team also mads during
th same month a score of 3,232. Thla goes
to show the strength of the team and to
place Omaha- in more secure position In
the bowling world.

The Waverley team from Omaha played
In hard luck on Tuesday evening, making
-r nfA s 9 Kite O 9 OA aA. a aw.
boys at the association's alleys think the
Waverley had cold feet, stage fright or
something of the kind. At any rate, the
Waverley score has been posted at the
alleys, with a deep band of mourning
around the figures. Weber of the Waver
ley team, the first of the Omaha delega
tion to return from the front, says he wlt-
1 nessed the games bowled by the Omaha
1 team Wednesday evening. He describes
the scene as an enthusiastic one and one
fraught with peculiar circumstances. Some
ill feeling has been engendered against
both of the Qunther teams from Chicago
on account of the report that one of the
teams had bought two expert ulavers ex-
' pressly for the tournament: Tho dunther
team No. 2 made its high score on Tues
day evening, so that when the last squad
canto to bowl Wednesday evening the
Omaha team was picked as tho only team
left that had a chance to defeat the
Gunthera. All the Chicago teams and oth
ers cheered the Omahas In preference to
the other teams of that squad. This, of
course, encouraged Huntington and his
band of bowlers, who were offered the
whole town of Chicago If they would UT
feat the Ounthert. - In the two-men and
single contests the Omaha bowler were
not in the running to any extent,
'"There was never so much Interest la
Indoor athletics at Bellevue college as this

Indoor meets scheduled with the Omaha
Young Men's Christian association team for
March 11 at Bellevue and at Omaha on
March 18. Borne of the team are new re
cruits, but are making it interesting in
some events for many of the older guard.
Carey has a tremendous spring In the high

Of the older members of tho team K earns,
Unison and C. 8. Rice are making better
score than they did lust season. Benson
Is making of himself a formidable oppo
nent In all-round track work. Bellevue
college never was stronger In the way of
banket ball teams and never was interest
in the game Keener at the college than tni
ecuson. The young women's team has lost
but one game this season thus far, while
the men's team has won six out of eight
played. The young women' team will
make a short trip during the Aret week of
March, when they will meet the Tarklo
college team and other. The college takes
J particular pride thla season in the ath
p letlo prowess of Its freshman class, whloh
, excels In this respect all previous claair.
wiin one exception ins mrmDer or ins
men's basket ball team are freshmen.
While base ball practice has not yet been
called, the matter of a base ball team Is
already on tho tapis, with the result that
thirty-five men have offered themselves as
candidates for the team. The coach and
manager are , working on the bass ball
schedule and such teams as the Nebraska,
South Dakota and Cretghton universities
anTankton and Morulngalde college are
already Included In the list of teams to
be met on the diamond this season. The
athlMlo board at Bellevue college feels
elated over the present Interest manifested
in the athletic welfare of the Institution.
A new era In athletics bas dawned at Belle

Pralae Of the highest sort Is being heaped
on the National league' Board of Directors
for 1U action in the "Jvlt" Taylor case.
The board acted fairly In the matter. It
nnw all thlncs offered as evl-
- -
dence into consideration, and then rendered
the decision with the characterise aoie
ness of the greatest jurist of the highest
courts In the United State. The word of
the ball player who depends on ball playing
for his living waa given free precedence
over that of the gamblers, some of whom
will resort to any mean to win. The
gamblers' evidence was taken with due
allowanoo of the source, and Mr Taylor
was acquitted. On hit own admission that
he. owing to a night with the boys, waa
unfit to pitch on that July 30, Taylor wa
accorded hi dues, a fine of 1300.

races were held. The conversation of the
returned antolsts from the south, either
as actual competitors r merely spectator
lead to the opinion that notw linstana.nK
the natural advantages of the ocean beach
course, much was wanting In the waj ot
a perfect carrying out of the race pro
gram. With hardly an exception, ths
answer is an aftlrmative tno when th
question I asked if they will be In attend
ance at the meets next winter. One of the
arrivals from the races said, In speaking
upon the subject: "The sport has gained
much In popularity during the last month,
and I expect that nest winter will see a
revival of the meets, both at Ormonde and
Havana on even larger and mote success
ful lines than those of 190S. It cannot be
truthfully said that there were not details
lacking at both courses, but despite these
and the unfortunate accidents, the meets
were a success. Next winter will witness
more foreign entiles and more broken rec
ords, unless I greatly miss my guess."

Several changes have been made In Yale's
base ball schedulo. Lehigh has cancelled
Its game for May , and the University of
Vermont has been given May 23 at New
Haven. Brown wanted Yale to play In
Providence on Decoration day, while the
Yale team wishes a game at home, and
so the Brown gam orignally planned for
that holiday wa abandoned. This will give
Yale only two games with Brown this year,
instead of the usual three. Yale has taken
on Andover academy for Its Decoration day
game, which will be the first played In
New Haven since the local Grand Army
protested against Yale playing at home
two years ago.
The base ball committee of the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania have selected Harry
Davis, first baseman on the Athletic'
team, as batting coach for the Red and
Blue nine this spring. He will devote the
greater part of his time to them, but will
also superintend the work of the fresh
men. Owing to the small cage which can
be placed on the floor of the gymnasium,
nothing much but batting can be prac
ticed until outdoor work begins. Penn
sylvania's team the last two seasons have
been poor handlers of the stick, but Coach
Coogan hopes, with the assistance of Davis,
to turn out a strong nine In this respect.
The most Important feature of the inter
school meet to be held at Philadelphia
April 29 will be the presence of a number
of relay lean and crock Individual per
formers from the wore Important western
universities. This will be the first time
In a number of years that the western and
eastern college athlete have met In a gen
eral meet, end because of this fact th
Pennsylvania meet will almost equal the
Intercollegiate In Importance. Chicago,
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota have
all accepted invitation to send relay teams
and have also signified their Intention of
ending teams of Individual star to com
pete In the Individual events. Chicago will
bring on Its star quarter-mller. Wisconsin
and Minnesota will make an effort to land
the one end two-mile championship. Yale,
Harvard, Cornell and Pennsylvania will all
have teams In the one-mils relay to at
tempt to prove the superiority of the east,
and nearly all the eastern colleges of Im
portance have relay teams entered In the
different class and distance events. Most
of them also have at least one star whom
they will send down to try to lake a sharo
ot the Individual honors. One of the fea
tures of the event will be the relay races
between preparatory schools. These have
been divided Into three classes and from the
number of entries already received there
hould be a large number of close con
test. The Navy Athletic association will shortly
prdpose to the Army athletic authorities the
procuring of suitable grounds of their own
for future Annapolis-West Point foot ball
contests. It Is suggested that a. United
States government reservation in the vi
cinity of Philadelphia be used. Stands and
dressing rooms to cost $M,000, it is sug
gested, should be erected. This amount,
it i thought, can easily be raised by
charging for admission to the first game,
subsequent admission to be by Invitation,
as heretofore.
Great Britain ha five first-class golf
Jink" which meet with every requirement
of a championship course. They are St.
Andrews, Prestwlck, Sandwich, Hoylake
and Muirfleld, and theamateur and open
championships are never played anywhere
else, although there are many other fine
elghteen-hole course throughout the king
dom. During ths ten year' life of the
United State Golf association the amateur
championship ha been held on ten differ
ent courses, as follows: Newport, Bhlnne-
cock, Chicago, Morris County, Onewentsla.
Garden City, Atlantic City, Glen View,
Nassau and Baltursol. The time seems to
be coming, however, when the American
golfers will follow in the footsteps of Great
Britain and settle upon a half dozen of
the very best of the championship courses.
In fact, they have already shown a tend
ency In that direction by selecting the Chi
cago Golf club course at Wheaton, 111.,
for this year's amateur championship. It
Is one of the very best courses In the coun
try and on a par with such first-class
championship courses, as Myopia, Garden
City, Olen View. Nassau and Baltursol
when It Is at Its best. These, courses are
all up-to-date and the time may yet come
when the amateur and open events will be
held only on these six course. In fact, tha
open championship this year will be held
over the Myopia links. The other associate
club' courses are regarded as almost too
easy for these two events, but very suitable
for the women's championship. The ten
open championship have been played
reapectively at Newport, Bhlnnecock,
Wheaton, Myopia. Baltimore. Wheaton
Myopia. Garden City, Baltursol and Glen
Vlw. Bo it will be seen that this event
In all but three Instances ha been held on
one of the six first-class oourse already
mentioned, while on only five occasions
ha the amateur event been decided on
other than these six star courses.
Adequate rules to aovern th . .,...
billiard competitions for the national cham
pionship, which has Just been won by
Conklln, at Chicago, have been tho subject
of discussion by leading amateur of the
port for the last two week. On his re
turn from Chicago J. Ferdinand Poggen
burg of the LUderkrans club of New York
and president of tha Katinnai ..
of Amateur Billiard Players said: "As has
been the case In ell of the recent tourna
ments lor the chamnlonshin n mi..
ound that covered all the points and In
consequence tne recognised standard rules
were taken as a basis and many changes
mad to conform to amateur usage. These
ruie were copied and then each competitor
for the emblem sianed th
an additional copy for his use and to fa
miliarise mm with the varlou points do
Cided upon. Of course, rnxra i,.
soms authoritative set of rules, and It now
earn prooaoie that the National associa
tion will take some action In thla r..n.
at It next meeting.
A an Instance of what I mean, the old
rule state that In case the ball rest upon
the Una In balk-llne It shall be declared
in.' Thl I obviously wrong. The rule
wa changed for Chicago ao that it allowed
th referee to deride whether or not In
hi opinion th major portion of the bull
rested within or without the aouar nii
so rule. Th old rule make It necessary
ior a competitor to look after his own In
auun caning rouis and shoctlim
with the wrong ball. Thl rule wa aluo
rnanged so that the comoeiltnr riiim tub
hi seat when not actually playing at the
taoie ana leave these and all similar noin
to the referee. It was tha fall
serve thl rule that led to the difference
between Onrdner and Threshle In th tour
nament recen'.ly finished. each man mad
th mistake of shooting with hi opponent's
ball. Then a rule was framed that Is dis
tinctly amateur, but we believe that It I
needed. It provides for the referee clean'
Ing the balls and table during the progress
of a match If In his Judgment It Is neces
sary, and one of the players request hlin
eo to do. I think that thl rule I a good
one, for th chalk drop on th table from
the cue during a long contet. and some
times It sticks to th ball, causing them
to roll off and making some hot impos
sible. These are only Instances of what
Is needed In th way of rule reform. nd
It Is to be hoped that the day la not
far distant when all amateur competition
Will be held under a uniform set of rules,"
In commenting upon th general low
average runs made by the competitors In
ths championship series at Chicago. Peg
genburg aald that It was due to the great
amount of safety play by the westerners,
"frightened bllllarde," he called It, which
made high runs Impossible, but waa cal
culated to piny an Important part In the
winning of contests.
The Cornell crews have again resumed
training on the machine, after a two weeks'
recess during the examinations and Junior
weeks, ibout sixty men are reporting reg
ulrtriy for prnctlce. but hard work will
have to be done to develop a championship
'virelty. Only three of last year s doi ar
hack. These vacancies will have to be filled
from last year's four and freshman. AH
told, there are only about eighteen or
twenty experienced men for the vacant
positions. There seems to be an abundance
of good material for the freshmen, how
ever. The management of the Dartmouth base
ball team has Iteued the completed schedule
for the coming seaaon. Twenty-eight games
will be played, fifteen of which Will take

The Amateur Athletic1 union has been
notified that the New England association
ha suspended the Yale university basket
ball team. The action was taken because
of the fact that the collegian had played
the team of Eaat Hampton. Mae., which I
claimed to be a semi-professional five. This
bars the Yale players from all amateur
competitions held under the Amateur
Athletic union throughout the United
States. The decision affects F. H. Rock
well, ths Yale quarterback, who played on
fho basket ball team during the game In
question. The other players affected are
William Barber, G. Kinney, F. M. Carter,
W. F. Church, E. A. Anderson and A. C.
Ortmayer. The ' Yale team holds second
place In the Intercollegiate Basket Ball
league, which Columbia heads, and it will
be very interesting to watch the attitude of
the other colleges toward the disfranchised
team. The other teams all recognise the
general oversight, and their member ere
registered In tho Amateur Athletic union.
If these players continue to play against
the disqualified Yale team they also wilt b
suspended from the AmateUr Athletic union.
It Is probable that they will uphold their
fellow collegian and refuse to take any ac
tion that will tend to break up the Inter
collegiate league in spite of th displeasure
of the national organization.

THE RM0
BLOOD PURIFIERS
In every collection of things there is a superior, one that stands above
all the rest and is known as the best, or kinr of its class. By its record
of fortv vears of cures S. S. S. has demonstrated its superiority over all
other blood purifiers and is known and recognized everywhere as the best The'
King of Blood Furthers. The people everywhere endorse it, ana tncre are lew
homes where this trreat remedy is not known and used, and today there are
thousands in all parts of the country who have been cured of diseases by its use and who
are dailv recommendincr it to those who are in need of a blood purifier. It has held the
confidence of the public for this long period of time, and is more in favor now than ever '
before, because it has always done and is doing now all that is claimed for it, and 'S. S. S.
for the blood" has grown to be a household sayiug.
One of its greatest claims to the title of ''The Kiug of Blood Purifiers" is that it is
purely vegetable, being made entirely from roots, herbs and barks of the forests and fields,
selected for their purifying and healing action on the blood and their fine , tonic , properties
for building up and strengthening the entire system. Not so with the usual blood medicines,
for they contain Potash and other strong mineral ingredients that derange the stomach and
digestion, disaereeablv affect the bowels, and otherwise damage the health. '
Bad blood is responsible for most of the ailments of mankind. When from any cause
the Liver, Kidneys, Bowels or other organs of bodily "vVaste become torpid, dull or Sluggish
in their action, and fail to carry out the poisons which are being constantly formed in the
system, these poisons are absorbed by the blood. As this vital fluid is the very life of the
body, nourishing -and supplying strength, through its circulation, to every muscle, nerve,
bone and tissue, disease in some form is sure to follow when it becomes contaminated. ' " '
ivczema, letter, Acne, rimpies, ijous,
etc., while they show on the skin have an un
derlying cause which is far deeper a poi
soned blood supply and until this is cor
rected and the blood made pure arid strong,
the distressing itching and burning as well
as the disfiguring, humiliating symptoms
will remain to torment the sufferer. - No
amount of salves, washes, skin foods, rouge.
etc, can reach the trouble; a real blood remedy is required. S. S. S. cures these and all Other
skin diseases, and when it has cleansed the blood of the poisons and impurities thd cure is
permanent and lasting. Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Chronic Sores or Ulcers and Con
tagious Blood Poison are all deep-seated blood diseases. When the blood becomes contami
nated with the poisons producing these diseases, the entire circulation grows polluted and
vitiated, and these painful and dangerous diseases will continue to grow worse and more dan
gerous until this vital fluid is cleansed and made strong and healthy again.
In all these disorders S. S. S. has proved itself a perfect remedy, and has well earned
the title of "The King of Blood Purifiers." It goes down into the blood and forces out all
poison of every kind, all waste and foreign matter, and makes it pure and health-sustaining
as nature intended, curing the disease permanently. Nothing reaches inherited blood taint
or old chronic troubles like S. S. S., and being a strictly vegetable remedy it can be taken
by old or young without fear of bad after-effects or injury in any way to the system. . Not
only is S. S. S. a blood purifier and system builder of the highest order, but a tonic and
appetizer without an equal, and is unexcelled in cases of general debility, loss of appetite,
weakness, that tired, run-down condition, lack of energy and force, and other distressing
complaints common to Spring and Summer months.
If you have any blood trouble write us about it, stating the case fully, and our physi
cians will help you to get rid of it by free medical advice and will send books on the different
diseases, which contain valuable information, without charge.
THE SWIFT SPECIFIC COMPANY, ATLANTA, OA,
Gentlemen: My oplaloa of 6. S. 8. Is that every bottle is

imparities, at the same time it builds op the general
health, gives appetite, strength and energy. We hare
given it to our ohlldren as intimated, and found it to be
non-injurious to the system and always capable of purify
