TIIK OMAHA SUNDAY BEK: FERRUAUY 23, 100S.
Mint private bmita Junt for the fun of the
thing. Il hnd on esnerlmre once thnt lie
hs will never frgt. Cusack was In
a box at theater one night when a friend
Who running boxing shows aVrd hlin
to step sround the corner to "r feree a
gemHrmanly contest bi'tw.fn two swell
Walters" who were to bol fir erlfntU'lo
point only before the fifth Avenue Walt
er' association. Cupak readily corsnlsd
to act, anil hurrying to Clarendon hnll ho
found It erowded to the door with a well
dressed assnmblsgc, composed chippy of
women and children. Cusack yes ushered
back of the stage, where he found two Ma;
fellow In evening dreaa with boxing glove
on. They were gliiring at each other
fiercely and seemed ready to mix It up
then and there. There wa no rinj laid
cut, nor were any ropes stretched acro.s
the stage. When tho belligerent walWs
rushed at each other like Infuriated bull
the women and children cried out In alarm.
It wa biff and bang all over the etn
behind the scene and out again until a
mall sized panic among the spectators
as In progress. Suddenly the larger
Walter rushed his antagonist to the foot
lights, and with a well directed smash on
Ihe Jaw sent him flying Into the orchestra,
Which wa busily playing that old ballad
"Remember Me."
"DIs Iss von outrage!" yelled the Dutrh
nan who led the orchestra. "Ve vas hired
lo play at a concert, not at a prlrcflght!"'
vVTien order had been restored both men
gain appeared In sparring position on the
stage and proceeded to go at It again In
the same whirlwind style. Cuaack had his
bands full breaking the waiters out of
clinches until he was ready to drop from
sheer exhaustion. The women and chil
dren were almost craiy, and the Dutch or
chestra tried to drown the excitement with
at renewal of "Remember Me!" Ones
more the big fellow got his opponent with
bis back to the footlights and with ft des
perate rush sent htm again headlong
among the musicians.
"Dot seddles It f cried the frantic leader
ef the band, holding up a smashed violin.
"Dot seddles It! No more mooslc tonight!
ris fiddle cost seventy-five tollars! Who
Jiays for It. eht"
Referee Cusack stood In the middle of
the stage, convulsed with laughter. He
Wouldn't say a word for several minutes.
Then be walked to the footlights end ex
claimed: "Ladles and gentlemen: I call this a
fraud drawl" Cusack burst Into more mer
riment as ho made this announcement, and
Jn so doing he quiet the panlcstrlcken
tnuslclans, women and children.
Example of British Fair Play.
When Frank P. Hlavln fought Jem Bmlth
for the championship of England he gof
rnueh the worst of It from Joe Vesey, the
Referee, and the Birmingham mob, lnd by
Jem Carney, The . mill . took place at
Bruges, Belgium, In 1889, and fourteen des
perate rounds, were fought. Vesey was
either Afraid or did not dare to go against
the mob, who struck Blavln with sticks
and "knuckledusters," In order to rob him
of a well earned victory. The Pelican club
of London, however, expelled Squire Abing
don (Oeorge Alexander Balrd) for his con
nection with the affair, at the same time
recovering Blavln's money for htm and also
declaring htm champion of England. The
referee was also disgraced and wa never
allowed to preside at any other big' fight
afterward.
GeoTge "vV. Atkinson, former editor of
London Bportlng Life, also earned for him
self a place on the unfair Hat by his action
in the battle between Jake Kllraln and
Jem Bmlth In Francs on December 19, 187.
The! men fought 10ft rounds, Smith commit
ting foul after foul with the same "win,
tie or wranala" Birmingham mob behind
him.' Atkinson favored Smith all through
the battle and finally called it a draw.
Atkinson must have repented before he
died, for he gave up his sporting career
and became a preacher.
Solly a m Referee. '
John D. Sullivan has acted as referee on
several occasions, lie was the third man
In the ring when Joe Lannon and Oeorge
Oodfroy fought their first battle. In the
Crtbb club at Boston In 1&S9. Lannon had
much the better of fifteen rounds, but
Sullivan refused to give him the verdict,
as he said that people might think th?.t he
was opposed to Godfrey because he was a
negro. 6o Culllvan called the fight a draw.
John L. also referred the match between
Jack MoAullffe and Blily Fraaler at the old
Manhattan Athletic club in 1892, but he had
an easy Job, is McAullffe scored a knockout
In the third round.
B. J. Angle Is the most popular referee
In England. He la an old amateur boxer
himself and knows tho game from A to Z
lie refereed the famous battle between
John L. Sullivan and Charley Mitchell at
Chantllly, France, on March 19, 18S8. Angle
for years has acted as the official referee
gf the National Sporting club of London,
toh.M 4im V, a .nMwl (nn.. nli.mnlnn.liln
contests than any other referee In the world.
Angle never enters the ring, but gives his
cautions and orders from a point outside
of the ropes. He has established a reputa
tion as a strict Interpreter of the rules and
will readily disqualify a fighter who dis
regards him. All the pugilists know this,
ao Angle's word Is law.
John Fltsgpatrlck, who afterward became
the mayor of New Orleans, acted ks re
feree of the seventy-six round battle be
tween John L. Sullivan and Jake Kilrain at
Rlchburg. Miss., In 1888. This was the last
bare knuckle championship fight held under
the old London rules on turf, and Fltspat
rick said his task was the hardest he ever
tackled as he was forced to stand in the
broiling un with the thermometer regis
tering 115 In the shade.
Trof. John Duffy, an old New Orlesns
boxer, was another notable referee who
In his career decided many of the most
Important championship battle. During
the memorable fistic carnival at the Olym
pic Athletic club at the Crescent City in
1'92 Duffy refereed the Biilllvan-Corbett.
McAullffe-Myer and Dlxon-Skelly cham
pionship mill. Duffy also presided over
tho first fight between Peter Maher and
Bob Flttslmmons, held at New Orleana In
ISM. He handled Hall and Fitsslrnmons In
the ring when they met the following year,
together with the Fits-Dan Creedon con
test In 1KM.
New York's Longr noster.
I'nder the old Horton boxing law New
fork wa a magnet for referees, who were
paid well for their services. Among them
were Charley White, Johnny White. John P.
Uckhardt, Maxey More. Dick Roche, Brook
lyn Jimmy Carroll, Honest John Kelley,
P. J. Donahue, Oeorge Biler, Billy Madden,
and others. Among the old time referees
who have passed away were Frank Steven
son, Charley Johnston, Ned James, Joe
Elliott, Frank Queen. Harry Hill, Jere
Dunn, Billy Tracey, Ed Price, James Col
vllle, Jimmy Paterson, Tom Oould and Mike
McDonald of Chicago.
Many new referees are springing up all
over the country nowadays. They are of
different grades as to quality. Some of
them know the Quecnsberry rules and
others do not. Some Judges fighting or
boxing as they believe It should be, at the
same time completely Ignoring recognised
rule. A few of the Judges of the prlr.e
ring of today would be more serviceable
a clowns In the circus ring, for with their
grotesque gestured and comic capers they
usually Interfere with the contestants and
at the same time obstruct the view of the
spectators.
BlaT Jeff la Competent and Honest
James J. Jeffries, though at present in
retirement as a pugilist. Is still willing to
hire out services as referee, and he de
mands a fee of 11,000 for officiating. He
is competent, fearless and honest and
has given entire satisfaction In each In
stance A London sporting paper re
cently criticised some moving pictures
of a fight between two little feather
weights with the gigantic Jeffries as ref
eree continually pulling the boys apart
when clinched. The paper went on to
state that the ponderous referee spoiled
the photographs by overshadowing the
boxers and also keeping them out of view.
And this seems to be true, for a big man
like Jeff should not be selected to Judge
a fight between such small fellows as
Nelson and Brltt. For that matter ring
experts contend that It would be better
If the referee kept out of the ring alto
gether, as is the custom In England and
Australia, and was also the arrangement
ia this country in the good old days.
Aside from Jeffries the best known ref
erees of the present time are Jack Welch
and Billy Hoche of California, Malachl
Hogan of Chicago, Tim Hurst of Ashland,
Pa.; Jack McQulgan of Philadelphia, Jack
Sheehan of Boston and Charley White of
this city. Oeorge Slier of Chicago, now
retired, was considered one of the best
ring Judges in the world when he refereed
the Cerbett-FtUsimmons fight at Carson
City, the Jeffries-Sharkey fight at Coney
Island, and other Important battles. Slier
In his time aoted as referee in probably
600 ring contests and was never charged
with dishonest methods.
Probably no referee ever earned such
unpleasant notoriety as did the gun fight
ing Wyatt Earp,' who decided that Bharkey
had beaten Fitalslmmons on a foul In the
memorable 'Frisco steal of fifteen years
ago. Earp was branded by critics and
public as a pugilistic highwayman, but he
never toek the trouble to refute the charge
that he deliberately robbed the Cornlah-man.

AMERICANS NEARLY LEFT OUT
Feature of Nominations for British
Tarf Stakes.
NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-Reeent issue of
the English Racing Calendar contain the
nominations to the stakes which closed
after the first of the year, approximating
those which closed In this city on January
1 A conspicuous feature of the lists is
the virtual absence of nominations for
American bred runners. August Belmoni,
who always races a few horses of his own
breeding abroad, has ellglbles In a few
of the events, but because it Is his custom
to be represented to some degree the fact
carries no significance. There are no
Keene, Whitney of Haggln-owned horses
to be found In the lists.
The nominations to the Rous Memorial
stakes of 1909, which closed on January 7,
show that Clarence H. Markay Is heavily
represented by Meddler colts.

Cornell's Trark M Who Have Been
Lost to the Team Will Make
DIs; Difference la Hi
Chances.
Cornell's track team has been shot to
pieces by the recent midyear examinations
at Ithaca. The straggling- notices of ath
letes who have fallen by the wayside have
been gathered together, and the sad total
1 that three track men and one foot ball
player have been so bard hit that their col
lege days are over for the time being. Be
sides these, two track athletes have been
so far the reverse of lnspt at their studies
that they will be lost to the team also.
These two men are to be appointed to
places on the faculty and they will be un
able to compete under the rules at Cornell.
The two good students are W. B. White,
shot-putter, and B. J. Lemon, distance
runner. The others are F. B. Townsend,
the captain of the track team; A. Ia Will-
goose, a distance runner; J. V. Colpitis, a
good cross-country man, and E. I. Thomp
son, the foot ball player, who was an all-
American guard on many selections.
Of these men White and Townsend scored.
In the Intercollegiate meet last sjjjrfng for
Cornell. White was fourth In the shot-
put and Townsend ran second In the mile.
The latter has been a consistently Improv
ing runner. As a freshman In 1906 he ran
fourth In the half mile; the year following
he was third and last year second. Now
Instead of having a chance to be first and
so complete the series, he will have to
watch the games from the tr&ckstde.
Other colleges have lost men recently
too, by accident or otherwise. II. F. Hadv
den, the Harvard distance man, who last
spring won the mile run In tho Harvard-
Yale games and was second In the mile
In the Harvard-Dartmouth meet, has been
compelled to stop running because of
straining his heart while trying for the
cross-country team last fall. Randy Rey
nolds, the promising 'Yale distance man,
also Is out of the game through an Injury.
Reuben L. Young, the Syracuse sprinter,
who scored In the low hurdles In the Inter
collegiate games In 1906 and who was
elected captain of the Syracuse track team
for this season. Is not In college. Young
ran eecond In the low hurdles that year
and also was on the .Syracuse one-mile
relay team that ran second In the college
championships at Philadelphia In 1906. Last
year he was credited with running 100
yards In 9 seconds In a meet with the
Carlisle Indians.
Low Standing; Bars Athletes,
In looking over the athletic activities of
the Cornell men who have been dropped for
low standing it will" be seen that most of
them have been very active all along In
athletics. For Instance, Townsend, when
he was at St. Paul's school ran In several
Interscholaatlc meets, notably one at Yale.
Previous to the Intercollegiate games In
1906 he was first In the half-mile run
against both Pennsylvania and Princeton.
He did not place In the dual meets In the
spring of 1906, but last spring he (was second
In the half-mile run In the Princeton meet.
Willgoose, an Erasmus Hall boy, who was
a member of tho P. 8. A. L. record team
for high school relay runners In the New
York district, has been a consistent point
getter for Cornell. He ran second In the
two miles In the Intercollegiate games In
1903, and was second also In the Pennsyl
vania meet In that run the same spring.
He won the two miles against Princeton.
The following spring he was third In the
two miles In the lntercolleglute and later
was on the cross-country team squad, fin
ishing nineteenth in the race, just after
Haddcn of Harvard. In the Princeton
meet in 1906 ho was second In his favorite
two-mllo distance. He did not compete
much last year.
Colpltts has been' prominent only in
cross-country running. The first time he
ranr In the cross-oountry meet was at
Princeton In 1906, where he was first al
most to the tape, being hipped out there by
Lloyd Jones of Pennsylvania. Last fall he
was third in the cross-country race.
Cross Country to Fore.
Lemon and White, although often com
petitors, have not been so prominent.
Lemon was captain of the cross-country
team last fall, but was sick just before
the race. In 1906 he was thirteenth In the
cross-country run. White won the shot
put in the Princeton dual meet In 1906,
followed It up by winning that event again
last spring, and then scored a point for
Cornell in the intercollegiate games.
Coach Moakley will be In a bad way los
ing so many of his men all at once. The
worst feature Is that although they are
distance men, of whom there Is always a
plenty at 'Cornell, they are among the best
and most tried men Moakley has. and so
it will come all the harder on him to push
forward those who will have to take thetr
places this season, but who might have
been saved for another year.
The wtlhdrawal of these men and tho
graduation of others at Cornell and other
colleges makes It hard to aay what the
outcome of the Intercollegiate meet ought
to be, lot alone what it will be. As Penn
sylvania has lost less than any of the
others many persons believe that what has
happened thus far is all for the benefit of
the Phlladelphlans. The more distance run
ners Cornell losea the better chance for
othera, notably Michigan, Yale, Pennsyl
vania and Princeton, to cut in. Pennsyl
vania want flold men primarily, being
well enough provided on the track. To
offset the loss of these distance men Cor
nell now Is able to use E. T. Cook, the
pole vault champion, whose record Is
twelve feet. Cook Is a good performer In
somo other lines, too, and he may bring
home points that other colleges are count
ing a good won right now.
The graduation of Shaw, Hubbard, Oar
rels and Armstrong from their respective
colli ges clears the point winner in the
hurdles, so that another generation of hurd
lers Is ellgiblo now for a try. Pennsyl
vania Is working hard with Hartranft and
a couple of new men with the idea of get
ting some of those open points. In the
broad jump the departure ef Knox takes
away last year's champion, so that the
Michigan men who scored last spring again
have chance to be in front, The high
jump loses Mofflt and Marshall, first and
second last year. Pennsylvania may have
lu Newberry a jumper, who Is almost aa
good as Mofflt, that is, for point winning
purposes. He will hardly be able to jump
aa high as Moffitt did. However, here
Michigan has J. Nell Patterson, a freshman
last year, who can do a greater height than
any man now In training In the New Eng
land or middle state college for the leap.
It was a safe remark last spring that
the intercollegiate games was a more epen
competition than ever before. It is safe
again to say that the meet will be open
with a vengeance. Pennsylvania Is per
haps at this time berter oft than any other
college. Yale is not to be neglected, and
Harvard t bually at work elaborating the
system whereby Yale is to be beaten in the
dual mart and outshone in the Intercol
legiate. For the benefit of the Harvard
track management It seems not unreason
able to uy that the college which finishes
ahead ef YaW In the Intercollegiate meet
Is- going to be very near the top. Yale
did well with a handful of men last year
and the team la stronger now. Moreover,
as Michigan la getting along nicely with
an even distribution of everything but
short-distance men and hurdlers the Wol
verine must be counted on. To be sure,
to replace the two firsts and the second
taken by Carrels will be a hard task, but
Inasmuch aa every other college lose out
In the hurdles, too. It la comparatively not
so hard a job.
MANY MEN OUT TO PLAY BALL
(Continued from Page One.)
for these contests. Last year the Gophers
were able to edge out two victories over
the Cornhuskers by one point In each con
test. The atbletlo board has overridden the
protest of Mrs. Barkley, dean of women,
against allowing the university girls to
engsge In Intercollegiate contests, and has
authorised the girls' basket ball team of
the university to play two games with
the Minnesota girls' five. The contests
will be pulled off next month, one being
played in Lincoln and the other in Min
neapolis. The last time the fives played
the Cornbusker girls defeated the Gopher
team.
The announcement from Madison Friday
that Chicago and Wisconsin had agreed
to meet on the gridiron In Madison Novem
ber 14, brought much joy to the Nebraska
students, for the arrangement of the game
Is taken, by the local authorities, to In
dicate that the Gophers will come to Lin
coln on November 81, providing the Corn
huskers can secure an athletlo field. The
Wisconsin management aaaured the local
authorities several weeks ago that If Chi
cago took November 14, the Cornhuskers
could have November 21. and It Is expected
here that arrangements for a Nebraska
Wisconsin game will soon be made.

CORJiHISKERJ LOSE TO KANSAS
Walsh of the Nehraakaas Oat of Form
and I'nable to Throw Goal.
LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 22. (Special Tele
gram.) The University of Nebraska basket
ball team went down to defeat before the
Kansas five last night by the score of 28 to
26. Poor goal tossing lost the game for
the Cornhuskers. Walsh, who has been
doing some excellent goal throwing for the
Nebraska five this year and who had been
depended upon to make many points, did
some miserable work and failed to connect
with the basket at the critical time. The
visitors, on the other hand, were able to
throw goals whenever they worked the ball
into the territory of the Cornhuskers.
Miller and Woodward played star ball for
Kansas. Burruss did the best work for
Nebraska.
In the first half the score stood 16 to 14,
In favor of Kansas. During this session
the Jayhawkera played much better ball
than Nebraska. In the aecond half they
started out by Increasing their lead and
It looked as though they would pile up a
big score. The Cornhuskers touk a brace
after about ten minutes of play snd prom
ised for awhile to overtake their oppo
nents. In their attempt to win, however,
they fouled so frequently that Kansas waa
able to atay ahead by throwing free goals.

ITS PAINS AND ACHES CAUSED BY
URIC ACID IN THE BLOOD
Rheumatism is in reality an internal inflammation. It ia caused by an excess of uric
acid and other irritating foreign matter in the blood, which has gotten into the circulation
because of indigestion, chronic bowel disturbance, weak kidneys, and a general impaired
and sluggish condition of the system. The refuse or waste matter of tho body, which
should be carried off by tho usual avenues of bodily drainage, is left in the system because
of these irregularities, and it ferments and sours, forming uric acid and other impurities,
which are absorbed into the blood.
Then this vital fluid loses its powers of nutrition and hcalthfulncss and becomes a weak,
acid-laden stream, which, as it circulates through the body, deposits the poisons and acids
with which it is filled into the muscles, nerves, joints and bones. This causes inflammation
and soreness, and soon the pains and aches commence; the joints swell, the flesh grows
sensitive and tender, and Rheumatism' is established in the system.
The progress of Rheumatism is usuallv
gradual; day after day the blood continues to
distribute the uric acid throughout the body,
and slowly but surely tho disease grows
worse. The little pains tugging at the mus
cles, or wandering from joint to joint, which
were the first symptoms of the disease, now
become chronic and causo more intense suf
fering, the muscles become tenso and drawn,
the lubricating oils and fluids which aid tho
joints to work smoothly and easily are grad
ually destroyed by the continuous stream of
acrid matter from the blood, and after awhile
the limbs may become stiff and useless. '
You !can never conquer this deep-seated
disease with external treatment, such as plas
ters, liniments, blisters, etc. These may
afford temporary relief and comfort from the
pain, and for this reason should be used, but
as they do not reach the blood where the real causo is located, should not be depended on alone
to effect a cure. The disease is rooted and grounded in the blood and must be driven from
its stronghold ijro before permanent relief can be had. '
S. S. S., a purely vegetable blood purifier, is the
proper treatment for Rheumatism. It goes down into
the blood and attacks the disease at its head, and by
driving out every particle of the poison and strength
ening the blood, cures Rheumatism permanently.
Being a perfect blood purifier, S. S. S. changes the
sour, acid-burdened blood to a rich, hcalthv stream.

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC COMPANY, ATLANTA, GA.
JOINTS INFLAMED AND SWOLLEN.
Six years ago I had a severe attack of Inflamma
tory Rheumatism. I was laid up in bed for six
months, and tho doctors I had did me no good.
They changed medicines every week, and nothing
they prescribed seemed to help me. Finally I left off
their medicine and began the use of S. S. 8. My knees
and elbow joints were swollen terribly, and at one
time my joints were so swollen and painful that I
could not close them when open. I was so bad that
I could not move knee or foot; in fact, 1 had one of
the severest cases of Rheumatism I ever heard of. I
was getting discouraged, you may be sure, when I
began 8. S. S., but as I saw it was helping me I con
tinued it, and today I am a sound, well man, and I
have never had a return of the disease. S. S. S. re
lieved tho swelling and inflammation, purified my
blood and cured me of this severe case of Inflammatory
Rheumatism after everything else had failed. I have
recommended it to others with good results, and know
that it is a sure cure for Rheumatism.
