He was put to the Vnt when ha was matched with Jack Twln) Bvilllvan at Tacoma. It was a sensational affair In pots and tha decision was a draw after twenty rounds. Sullivan and Burns cut the pnrse In equnl parts, each taking; 1900. ' Bums then met Dave Barry, a burly heavyweight, In another twenty-round mill at Tacoma. and did so well that Barry was fairly defeated on points. Burns' share of the spoils In this Instance was Jl.OX). Oolng hack to Detroit with a reputation, the Canadian putrlllst took part In a ten-round draw with Hugo Kelly, the Chicago mid dleweight. But after the managers of the affair had "counted Up" the house Burns found that there was only 119) coming- to him. He wanted another crack at Kelly, so they signed articles for a twenty-round mill at Los Angeles. This affair was an other draw and Burns was fl.200 richer. By this time Dave Barry wanted another crack at the former lacrosse player, so they came together in Ban Francisco and Barry was knocked out In the twentieth round, rlctory that turned fl.700 over to Bums, Jock (Twin) Sullivan was taken on for another match, this time at Los Angeles, and at the end of twenty rounds the decision went against Burns, whose Injured feelings were partially appeased with a roll of fl.100. Burns became apathetlo In 1908, for he entered the ring on only four occasions, yet he cleaned up Just $11,300. He received $2,400 when he beat Marvin Hart In twenty rounds at Los' Angeles and then took down !K0 for knocking out Jim O'Brten in a round at San Diego. Jim Walker, another lemon, was also put awa in a round at Ban Diego, Burns going away with $3,000 for trts trouble. For a twenty-round draw with Itilladelphla Jack O'Brien at Los Angeles that year Burns' share was JB.OOO. Getting; On In the World Bums came east for the first time early last year and beat Joe Grim In three rounds over tn Philadelphia, getting $760. Then he went back to Los Angeles for his memorable fight with Philadelphia Jack .O'Brien, In which the latter, who had agreed to a fake, was double crossed and was dofeated on points In twenty rounds. Bums got $16,000 for this signal triumph and also laid claim to the championship. Bill Squires of Australia was on his way to America about that time and was her alded as a world beater. Bums notified the 'Frisco fight promoters that he was ready to tackle the Antipodean and as soon as the latter arrived on the coast a match was made. Bqutres, a powerfully built man, looked so formidable while training that many thought tHat he would win. But no sooner had he entered the ring than Burns cut loose and' simply beat him down and out before the first round was at an end. Bqutres was simply a lemon and Bums walked off with $18,000. Although Jack Johnson, who had been challenging both Bums and Bqutres, was now on hi toes, demanding a fight with the champion. Bums Ignored him entirely and hurried across the continent to sail for England, where he knew that there were eveaul qnlnces hanging up and that an easy sporting public was waiting, to be plucked. Bums lost no time In making a match with Gunner Moir, the English champion, who was nothfng more than a third rater, and the men met before the elect National Bportlng club of London. Bums forced the club to hand over the mount of the entire purse to the referee before the fight began and then the former la cross player prooeeded to bet a hand some sum on himself, at the same time toying with Moir for ten rounds before handing out a knockout punch so that moving pictures In which he was finan cially Interested could be taken of the I airair. British Money Cornea Easy. This battle netted all of $12,000 for the shrewd Canadian, who hurriedly signed articles for a twenty-round "flirht" with ! Jack Palmer, who had been badly beaten by Jack (Twin) Sullivan at Lo Angeles i In ten rounds last year. Bums did not feel ashamed to take the money In this I case, for there waa a big crowd on hand t and the fans seemed to be fighting mad. BUrhs bet again on himself and also on the- proposition that- Palmer would not tay six rounds. The fight was a huge -,Jok. for Palmer, lacking both skill and punching power, was sent to the land of nod In the fourth round, while Bums' .shore of the coin was $10,000 or there ' abouts. Bums expects to pick up about $10,000 more when he meets Jem Roche, the cham iplon of Ireland, In Dublin on St. Patrick's day. According to Tom O'Rourke, who has Just returned from England, Roche is no oet:tr tnan Moir and Palmer and will be I. the easiest kind of a mark. After Bums finishes him, therefore, he Intends to visit Paris, where $10,000 more will be hung up for him to tackle a French middleweight or Sam McVey, an American negro who Is merely a fourth rate pugrlst Binco his arrival In England Bums has been getting $1,000 a week In the muslo halls, so that he jiad added much to his bankroll. Borne time next spring Bums Intends to come back to this country. He will have a chance to fight Johnson for a $26,000 purse, hung up by one of the Frisco clubs, ana ne says he will sign articles. It he should beat Johnson Bums would prob oiy tinmpi io rorce jerrrtes to come back to the ring, In Which event It is be lieved that as much as $30,080 would be offered for the mill by various fight pro moters In different parts of the country. Hut Johnson has not been disposed of yet, and many believe that with the big negro Bums will have the fight for his life. The Canadian, by the way, has been handing out a line of talk on the other side relative to Johnson that may cause some surprise among ring followers here. This Is what tha champion says: Promts to Johnson.

SampsoYi, Gen'l If shown the money, a he does not look any harder to boat than some of the fighters I've already defeated, such as Marvin Hart, who beat Johnson In Ban Francisco seversl months before I trimmed Hart. Of course, every one knows I beat Hart In Los Angeles so that he did not get out of bed for two days. That proves to me what kind of a fighter Johnson la When I signed to fight Bqutres In Frisco Johnson waa at the meeting, and afterward he asked me If, In the event of my beating Squires I would fight him. I told him lf I was shown enough money I would. He im mediately said: 'I'll bet you $10,000. I told him to put up or shut up. He re plied: 'I only have $700 with me, which I'll put up now, and If I don't put up the rest by tomorrow noon you can have the $700.' "I said that wna agreeable, and he put up the $700 with some white man who was there and who, I discovered later, was one of his friends. I wrote out a check for $10,000, and when tho next day came for making good Johnson took his' $700 down and wouldn't make good. AH the San Fran cisco newspaper rren were present, and 1 asked Johnson It he was trying to make me look cheap because a lot of reporters were there. All he could do was to show his white teoth. I then told him I would show the people present what kind he was. I. asked him to step Into a room, lock the door and fight me for nothing. But tho big black was not game. Called him In a way that I wouldn't take from any man even If I knew I was going to be killed the next minute. All yellow fighters are alike. Give them an Inch and they'll try to grab tho whole world. I am going to force him to fight or crawl Just a soon as I get back to the States." Johnson has already stated through Ms manager that he will fight Bums, winner take all, or he will forfeit a greater part of the purse If he falls to knock the Cana dian out Inside of twenty rounds. John son says that Bums is a fourflusher and that he doosn't believe he will ever consent to a match. All of which would soom to Indicate that there will not be a heavy weight championship battle between these men until some time next winter, for as soon as they sign articles they will prob ably tour the country with theatrical shows, with the Idea of raking in as many dollars as possible. WITHTHE COLLEGE ATHLETES (Continued from Page One.) the other.' Besides Carpenter in the half mile are Hodges and Ebersol. Hodges is a fairly good man, who has done some average running ' thus far. He Is big enough and strong enough to do better. Ebersol Is a cross-country man who will do something in the half-mile if he de velops a turn of speed. Taking away Colpitts, Lemon, TownBend and Wlllgoose doesn't leave a great deal of material to be figured on In the distance runs. However, Moakley is going to see what can be done with HalBteod, who last fall finished second In the cross-country race at Princeton. Halstead was a new man to running last year and as far as the track is concerned still Is a new man. What he will be able to do in the mile is hard to say. There is no. way of figur ing out whether a cross-country man Is going to be able to make a respectable showing In the mile or two miles. To back up Halstead there will be Bean, who Is rather an unknown quantity. Nnmmerous Distance Runners. The other cross-country men' will have a chance to. show what they can do in the two-mile run. Young, Hunger, Seelye and Truba will try for the places tn this event Trube In 1906 ran second In the Intercolle giate games to Magoffin, also of Cornell in the two-mile event. Young was sixth, Hunger tenth and Seelye thirteenth in the intercollegiate cross-country run last fall and they, with Halstead, Colpitts and Trube, made up the champion Cornoll team. Trube was fifth in the race. Ap parently Trube Is the best of these men In the point of proved experience on the track, but from the others something may be expected. For instance, Young, while not at all a stylish runner. Is able to keep going right along. On a recent wet day he negotiated a mile on the sloppy board track in close to 4:40. Of course, that Is nothing won derful, but it speaks of chances of im provement. Nowadays, that there are no more Hasklnses to be considered, miles that are slower than 4:25 may at least be mentioned with hopefulness. It Is with these cross-country men that Moakley hopes to Improve his standing In the point table In the Intercollegiate games. Al though Michigan still has Rowe, Dull and Coe, there are some chances of making points outside of what the Wolverines can get COKNIll'SKERS ARB OUTCLASSED Minnesota Defeats Them at Basket Ball by Bis Margin. MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 29. (Special Tele gram.) Minnesota defeated Nebraska lant night in a one-sided name of basket ball by a score of 43 to 12. The Gophers seemed to score at will. During the first hulf. when the Cornhuskers failed to snore a single basket from the fluid, Minnesota ptlid up seventeen. Nebraska put up a plucky fight to the end.

DECISION TO INCORPORATE Prmit Odloers to Ac Cntll A it 1 el of Incorporation Can Be Prepared and Adopted Improvements Contemplated. The Omaha Rod and "Gun club decided to Incorporate and put Itself on a more firm basis at the annual .meeting held Friday night at the Young Men's Christian associa tion rooms. About 200 were present and evinced an enthusiasm which augurs well for the success of the club In the future. Through the loose way In which the books of the club have been kept through Its formation period It was hard to tell Just where the club stood on the matter of finances, but the report of the auditing committee, which waa appointed at an In formal meeting In January, showed that the club had aasets amounting to about $4,000 and that It had outstanding debts to the amount of about $1,200. The books showed the club has a mem bership of 470 and It was decided to assess the Indebtedness pro , rata against the members to start the new year with a clean record, so that when the club In corporates it will be the possessor of th buildings and tha lease on the ground and other Improvements with no ouUtand tng indebtedness. It seemed to be the sense of the meeting that after the Incorporation Is completed the dues will be permitted to remain a they are, $0 per year, and that an effort will be made to run the club without rais ing the dues. It was voted aa the sense of the meeting that when the club Incorpor ates a house secretary at a suitable salary will be secured to keep the records In the way they should be kept and to give his time and attention to looking after tha affairs of the club at the lake. The club elected officers to act until auch time as the Omaha Rod and Gun club shall be Incorporated, at which time the present club and organisation will cease to exist The officers elected were: John A. Scott, president; W. S. Sheldon, Vice president; Al Bloom, secretary; A. P. Whltemore, treasurer. The new board of directors consists of the officer and J. J. Davey, T. R. Welrlch, F. J. Goodrich, O. F. Drefold, W. A. Jones. Dr. J. S. Flcke and N. O. Furen. The committee on organization appointed at the lost meeting reported that It had labored assiduously to prepare a form of Incorporation, but Its labor were Incom plete, although a vast amount of work in the way of preparing suitable article of incorporation, bylaws, etc., had been pre pared. The committee turned the result of its labors over to the new board of directors with authority to organise. The time and place of the next meeting was also left to the new board of director. CREIGHTON IS ON THE LIST (Continued from Page One.) and four place will be awarded. First place will count five points; second place, three; third place, two, and fourth place, one. The fraternity winning the hlgBest number of points in the meet will be awarded a silver cup, which will become the property of the society winning It three times. The fraternities that will be represented in the contest this year will be: Alpha Theta Chi, Alpha Tau Omega, Beta Thet Pi, Delta Tau Delta, Delta Upsllori, Kappa Sigma, Phi Delta Theta, Phi Gamma Delta, Phi Kappa Pel, Sigma Alpha Epsllon and Sigma Chi. The girls' basket ball team of the uni versity will meet the Minnesota five In the armory March 21. The arrangement for the game were concluded thl week. A return contest will be played In Minne apolis early In April. FORT RILEY ATHLETIC STUNTS Some Good Work Done by Soldlera In Competition. FORT RILEY, Kan., Feb. 29. (Special.) The winter athletic meet which wa held in tho post gymnasium Wednesday morn ing, February 2ti, proved one of the best events pulled off In the post for several years. The first number on the program was the broadsword contest, which was finally won by Private Sohmtncke of Troop H, Seventh cavalry, who defeated Sergeant Brlggs of Troop B In the finals. The preliminaries were fast, especially the one between Sergeant Smith of Troop M, Tenth cavalry and Schmlncke, In which each man broke two swords before the decision was given to the latter on points. The running high jump was easy money for Corporal McCarthy of Troop C, who only had to go four feet four inchea to put the others out of the race. McCarthy Is an all round athlete, representing the Ffcventh regiment In the field day conteet at Manila last year, in which he was second high man on points. lie secured the highest number of points in the above contest. Papas of Buttery F, Sixth field artillery, was defeated for second place In the running high lump by Llnner of Troop A. It took eight trials to decide which man took the second money. Th standing broad jump was a walk away for McCarthy at 9 feet 6 inches, with Private Palmer of Troop P second at 8 feet 9 Inches. The 25-yard dash went to Private Palmer of Troop F, while McCarthy was a close second, Mogul of Battery A third. In the rope climbing contest. Papas of Battery F got first money and Grossberger of Troop C took second place. In the next event, the pole climbing contest, Grossberger was easy winner, with Papa second. The fence vault was won by John son of Troop C at 6 feet UV4 inches, Mc Carthy and Webber and Uovejoy being unable to go above B feet 10 inches. The potato race proved to be the most exciting of the events, and the race be tween winners of the preliminaries was won by Grossberger tn 61 seconds, Mogul of Battery A, winner of last year's race, a close second. lienllk of Troop E was fur the faster man, but in the preliminary he failed to place his potatoes In the bucket, which threw him off the final race. At the horizontal bars. Papas of Batteiy F was in a class by himself, doing stunts' that one very seldom see outside a circus. Hackney of Battery A. In turn ing on the bars threw his shoulders com pletely out of place and back again. He was given second money on the strength of it alone. The long horse was won by Private Turner of the colored troops, who far outclassed the others at the wooden horse, although the others did some very nice work. A good slsid crowd greeted the con testants In the boxing bouts and wrest ling events in the pout gymnasium Feb Vuury 13. With one exception the bout were tliun and fast and everyone left feel ing that they hud received a run for their money. The four-round curtain raiser be-twu-a Private Garvtr of Troop A, Seventh cavalry, and Private Wat hews of Battery D, Sixth fluid artillury, proved easy pick ing for the artilleryman; h laid It all over the cavalryman, and lu the middle of the second round, with a light punch to the stomach and a good, stiff upper cut on the jaw with a left sent Garvtr to the land of droams. Veseluk of Troop K and Nnrlsko of Battery D put op a racy tame affair. It swemod that each thought tha other ha a knockout punch hidden away somewhere for possible use and they ducked and sidestepped about the ring for four weary rounds. The decision was given to Nettska, the artilleryman, on points. Thompson of Battery D, who of fered to throw any man In tha poat or forfait SI, had to give up the ready eaah to Private Decker of Troop A. Sev enth cavalry, who after twelve minutes put Thompson's shoulder to tho mat. Tha match of tha evunlng was between Leon Filler of Battery D and tha "Dago Kid," champion lightweight wrestler of tha west, or leant that I what he claimed until ha met Filler. It proved a walk away for tha soldier, who weighed In at ISO, two pounds heavier than tha "Kid." Filler was stronger and knew the fine points of tha game much better than his civilian antagonist. Filler won S7S by throwing tha "Kid" two straight falls, tha first In 7:10 and the second In 9:15. EVENTS OJT THE RUNNING TRACKS Mendon, 80 to 1, Wins the First Rao at Oakland. OAKtAND, Cal., Feb. .

If they were due to outside influences, or if the caustl was confined strictly to the diseased flesh around the ulcer, then local treatment and simplcl cleanliness would cure them. But the foundation of the trouble is in the blood, which ha? from some cause become unhealthy and diseased, and is keeping the sore or ulcer open hy continually discharging into it the impurities and poisons with which it is filled. This impure condition of the blood may be the remains of some constitutional trouble; the effect of a long spell of sickness, which has left the circulation weak and germ-infected, or because the natural waste and refuse matter of the body, which should pass off through the proper channels, has been left in the system to ferment and decay and be absorbed into the blood. Again the cause may be hereditary, the polluted blood of ancestry being handed down to posterity ; but it does not matter how the trouble became entrenched in the blood, the fact that the sore will not heal is evidence of its deep, underlying cause, and shows the absolute neces sity for the very best constitutional treatment. -There is nothing that causes more discom fort and worry than a festering, discharging old sore, as it lingers, slowly f eating into the sur rounding tissues and flesh, and by its obstinacy and tendency to grow worse, in every way sug gesting the possibility of being cancerous in its nature ; for there is no difference at first m the appearance of a cancerous and and any sore that persistently refuses to heal may degenerate into Cancer if the blood is not purified of the poisons which produce the trouble. Salves, washes, lotions, etc., cannot effect a cure of an obstinate sore or ulcer.

Iowa track prospects are on the Increase, ac cording to the latest Information given out from the training quarters. Btutsman. the weight man of the squad, has decided to remain in school and will handle the discus and the shot for the Old Gold team. This 1 considered good for at least six point at the state meet. Btutsman Is doing bet ter with the discus thsn any man In the state has done for years, and the local fans are even predicting a new state record to his credit. lie is good for at least 1 feet, and probably better. Brown, the track captain of two years ago, is back in school and will run the high hurdles. Brown was doing better than 0:16 flat a few days previous to the meet two years back, but Injured his knee three days be fore the meet and was unablo to enter. He Is the only man In the running at pres ent who can give Hair and McCord a run for first place.

It removes every particle of impurity from the circulation and makes this sustaining. Then as ried to the place the vault, and a big squad of new men have reported at the gymnasium and are getting In shape for the outdoor work, which will open up In two or three week. The aquad Is handicapped by lack of proper quarters for Indoor work. The local indoor track was Improperly banked when built and Coach Catlln has not allowed the men to do any heavy work on this account. Two years ago the sprinters wore on the hos pital list, with sore ankles, on account of the bad condition of the turns. Catlln Is not confident of the strength of the "team, but la not downcast over the present out look. If tha new men develop class, the dope at tha state meet may receive a se vere bump. " The only dual meet which Iowa will have this year Is scheduled with Minnesota. Tha Gopher strength Is an un known quantity, but tha odds are probably In their favor as they won last season without much trouble, and the-Hawkey squad will not be strong In all the events.

A great sore formed and for years no one knows what I suffered with the plaoe. I tried, it seemed to me, everything I had ever heard of but I got no relief, and I thought I would have to go through life with an1 angry, dis charging sore on my leg. At last I began the use of 8. 8. 8., and it was but a short time until I saw that the plaoe waa improving. I continued it until it re. moved all the poison from my blood and made a complete and permanent our of the acre. JNO. ELLIS. 800 Nary 8treet, Brooklyn, N.
