BETWEEN th ball player of the old

'the present, there Is a pronounced
economic difference. This thought
was reflected In the avowed pur

Maybe the ball player of today Is not a
whit better morally than his brother of

closed. But one thlr.g Is certain, the ball
player of today Is a better business man
than his brother of yesterday. A press
dispatch, brought the distressing news
within the last week that Hermsn Long,
onre the premier shortstop of. the world
and as good a ball player as ver donned
a uniform, was penniless in a Chicago
horpttal. Hermsn Jong was not a dissi
pated man, but Just the same he let Tor
tures slip through his hands. He made

show for It. At least half a dogen mem

snd one that augurs well for ths elevation
of the gams as a permanent American in

snd sobriety on the part of the men who

Thus far we have had no confirmation of
the oft-repeated rumors that Muggsy Mc
Graw would be superseded as manager of
the New Tork Giants, possibly by Roger
Bresnahan. but reports are afloat now that
seem to Indicate a determination on the
jmrt of the ownership to do something cal- 1
culatad to produce a revolution In their '
standing of that famous team. That Mc
Grawlam sustained a body-blow In the re
aults of last season is a fact too patent to
admit of discussion. Manifestly, therefore,
McOrawIsm Is pot to ba sought for by the
owiwrs of New Tork In the future; If the :
man McOvaw la to remain aa manager of
the team, tha principle, McGrawism,
must give way to another system. 1
The question then arises, "Can you
U-ach 'an old dog new tricks?"' Or
can MeGraw, the arch-advocate and
apostle of hoodlumism on the diamond,
command . by any othei system? Roger
Iiresnahan Is popular In New York;
Muggsy MeGraw used to be. but he Is not
now. It Is not the most Inplauslble theory
that this shift ef managers may be made.
Reading his own case, MeGraw tells us
that, he was hampered by such men as
McGlnnlty, - Browne, Dahlen and Captain
McGann and now comes the report these I
men ara slated for release. What does this
mean? It doesn't, 4or a fact, seem to
strengthen tha theory that Muggsy has a

Frank Gotch seerus really to be In earnest
In bis avowed determination to become a
pugilist. This Is a disappointment to some
of his admirers and the source of gratifica
tion to others. Gotch is still. In his prime,
30 years of age; he elands nearly six feet
tall and weighs from 190 to tot pounds. His
supremacy in the wrestling arena has too
dearly demonstrated his wonderful speed
and strength to leave room for cavil or
doubt as to at least two essentials In the
prise ring fighter, and his endurance la be
yond question. But what has Gotch to gain
by entering the prise ring? He stands tha
unquestioned champion of the mat In Amer
ica, if not the world, and ha himself ad
mits, that were such men as Jeffries and
Fltsstmmons in ths price ring ha would
not aspire to pugilistic honors, which Is a
. confession that his ambition points at best
to supremacy of second rate value. Better
do as tha poor benighted Hindoo.
Just as a matter of fairness to Chick
Autrey It rosy ba stated that his repur
chase by Pa Reurke from Ned Hanlon
does not Indicate he did not make good
In his. showing at Cincinnati. It almply
means that Hanlon loaded himself down
with new material before he realised it'
and could not possibly find room for Autrey
and several other promising youngsters.
Autrey and ether Omaha champions will
yet take thehr place in the frott ranks
of ths big leagues. Meantime we need
them 11 next year and ara glad to have
them, for the pennant must come to Omaha

Something new must be In the air. The

and T. Francis Moore, who. as president
of the Metropolitan Automobile association,
sttcmpted to secure permission for a simi

Morrell a number of letters from manufac

said he would appoint a committee on rules
to be made up of representatives of all
the leading American makers and tha Im
porters of foreign machines. There waa
1 some discussion of the proposed rules, and
a number of courses for the event wera also
I mentioned.
Despite the fact that W. K. Vandefbllt's
I sgents demanded that tha Metropolitan as
sociation withdraw from ths honor of hav
ing the first big automobile contest In
1908, refusing to let It use the Long Island
course unless it did, the association will
go ahead and hold Its runs. It 111 not

The general publle, patrons of the racing
game, hava no Idea of the vast amount
put In circulation at tha race track. It
la hard to estimate with correctness Just
what this sesaon will net, but a very good
line can be had on the total by the racing
commissioner's last annual report. In this
we find that tha seven racing associations
of tha metropolitan circuit contributed

that he was to give a trophy if ths asso

The contest is scheduled to occur April
18. and will be over a course forty-twe
miles long. It is open to stock, crg nl&

said, will exceed the Vanderbllt cup, both

The Metropolitan Automobile association,
of which Thomaa Moore Is president, has
been looking over courses the past three
weeks. The course selected on December
1 is expected to be tha one an which annual
contests of. a similar nature wilt be held.

It is estimated that an average of 12.000
persons see the races dally. Of course
there are big days when .9 or more turn
out, 'but day for day from beginning to end
of the season 12,000 as a daily outpouring
hits the mark as near aa possible. There
about 200 racing days on the local tracks,
Figure two-thirds of the annual attendance
at $3 a head, and the other third patrons
of the field, at $1 a head and you will net
about J1.000.0o0 In admission fees. This
represented a season's receipts of the
associations. This only gives a partial
idea of the money accruing and chang
ing hands as the direct result of
racing thoroughbreds. The bookmak-
lng end and the betting ring Is
not by any means the leaat item on the
list. As near as can-be gauged JTB.000 is
wagered on the various horse each day
of tha racing year. Two hundred days at
this rata means that about JIS.OOO.OOO is
staked in a season by the public outside

THE BILOOH) SATURATED)
WITH URIC. ACID POISON
A disease so painful and . far-reaching on the system as Rheumatism must have ft
deep and wdll-laid foundation. It is neither an accidental trouble nor one caused by outside
influences ; it is in the blood and system before a pain is felt.
Rheumatism is caused from an excess of uric acid in the blood which has gotten into th
circulation because of a torpid or sluggish condition of those members whose duty it is tc
carry off the daily collection of .refuse and waste matter of tins body. This being left in the
system sours and generates uric acid, an irritating, pain-producing poison, which the bloof?
absorbs and distributes' to all parts of the body. This acid, circulating through the system,
acts as an irritant to the different muscles, nerves, bones and tissues of the body, anc
produces the inflammation and swelling and the terrible pains of 'the disease.
When the blood is overburdened with uric
acid it continually grows weaker and more acrid,
ana poorer in nounsning qualities, men Kneu
matism becomes chronic and not only a painful
and distressing disease, but a formidable and dan
gerous one as well. The general health is always
affected, the oils and fluids which lubricate the
joints and muscles are destroyed by the acrid
matter which the blood is continually depositing
in them, the muscles shrink and loss their elas
ticity, the lining of the joints becomes hard and
thick, and the sufferer is often left a hopeless
cripple. But worse still, when the blood becomes
fully saturated with the uric acid poison the heart
is attacked, the corrosive matter settling on the valves and muscles of this vital organ, and
chen Rheumatism usually proves fatal. '
Some persons inherit a predisposition or strong tendency to Rheumatism, for like all
blood diseases it can be transmitted from generation to generation ; but whether the disease
is inherited or is brought on by a torpid, inactive condition of the system, the cause is
always the same the blood is filled with uric acid poison. I
Temporary relief from the suffering and torture of Rheumatism is often afforded by the
application of plasters, liniments and other home remedies, but as such treatment does not
reach the blood, no curative or preventive effect can be .expected. The next exposure to
cold or dampness, or a spell of indigestion, or other
' systemic irregularity, will cause the old aches and
pains to returnj while the real disease is all the while
getting a firmer hold on the system.
There is but one way to cure Rheumatism, and
that is to cleanse the blood of the uric acid poison.
O S. S. S. is the proper treatment, because it goes down
and attacks the disease ai its head, and bv filtering out
PURELY VEGETABLE every particle of the poison and strengthening and en
riching the blood, cures Rheumatism in every form,
3, S. S. changes the sour, acid-burdened blood to a rich, healthy stream, which quiets the pain
racked nerves, muscles, and joints, and gently but surely removes every particle of the cause
of Rheumatism from the circulation. S. S. S. reaches inherited cases as well as those which
have been acquired, and good results are ajways experienced from its use. S. S. S. is the greatest
uf all blood purifiers, and it is an absolutely safe remedy. Special book on Rheumatism antj

CROSS-COUNTRY RUNS START
Eastern Athletes Keep Their Wild In
Shape.
NEW YORK. Oct. 26. With all of tho
big outdoor meets out of the way, the
local athletes, who are sound of wind will
devote their attention lo the healthiest of
athletic pastimes cross country running.
Already tho New York Athletlo club has
started In to work. In other cities, too,
tha hill and dale aport will wax strong.
Word comes from Montreal that the
Montresl Athletic club Is getting together
little Canadian runner. If this team pans
little Canadian hunner. If this team pana
out well It will be sent down to compete
in tha national Junior championship run.
which will ,mor than likely take place at
Travers Island.
Little Is known of the status of the col
lege cross country teams up-to-date, but .
It Is safe to forecast that when the students
line up for the Intercollegiate champion
ship race It will be a struggle between
Jack Moakley's Cornell boys and Mike
Murphy's Quakers. . The Fcinsylvanlana
were beaten by a shade last year through
their fourth man being way "out of bal
ance" with the rest of the aiuad. Murphy
Is expected to have a better team this
fall, and If he does, the Cornell champlona
may come a cropper. All In all. It will be
a great year for the sport In college, club
and school.
The New York Athletic elub cross coun
try team will miss Nehrlch, Root, and
llasklns this fall, but should put up a
good fight against the Celtic park con
tingent. The nucleus of the Travers island
team will be Newton. Elaele, Farrell, Bel
lara, Haywood and Zink.
COLT COLIN RETIRES UNBEATEN
Wladi In Career as Two-Year-OM
Most Brilliantly.
NEW YORK. Oct. ai. The peerless Colin
goes Into retirement unbeaten, the wlnnei
Of twelve atraight races and 1131.000 in
round flgurta. He wound up hie brilliant
career as a S-year-ohl by winning the
forty-first running of the Champagne
atakea at Belmont park, beating Harry
Payne Whitney's Stamina. Ills, only op
ponent, In a common gallop, In the fast
time of 1.23 for seven furlongs. Stamina,
which ia generally ranked as the best 2-year-old
filly of the season, raced stride
for stiida with Colin for half a mile, but
then cspltulated, and the great so of
Commando-Psstorella drew away with
that easy, frlrtionless stride for which he
is fsmoue, and did not appear to be fully
extended through the last furlong to win
by a full six lengths. It wss no disgrace
for Btsmlna to be beaten by Colin, which
standa out today aa the greateat horae ever
bred and developed In this country, If not
In the world. Colin hardly drew a long
breath In going back to the' scales, and
waa aa playful aa a kitten, while getting
his bath and rub down.
Colin haa been In trulnlug alnce early In
the season, and In spite of a long cam
paign looks far better today than when he
won hie first race, on May The swell

at that time, has almost entirely disap
peared and in looka he la the perfect
picture of a race horse. If no 111 befalls
him during the winter he should come
hack to the races next year an even betier
horse than he is today. If auch a thing
