Tty that tlmo Hums had- hngun to attract
genrral attontlon and bntlng club man
ager were hot on hta trail. Bo In J? he
fought tlx tlmoo. hta earnings netting
about W.OO. 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.
"This follow Jack Johnson Is the first

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.

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

Financial Report of the Year Showi a
Small Floating Indebtedness.
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.

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.

IMPURITIES IN THE BLOOD
Every Old Sore is an outside symptom of a "weak or polluted condition of the blood the a
external evidence of physical impurity. 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. Such
treatment may assist in keeping the place clean and antiseptic, but it does not reach the
blood where the real cause is located, and can therefore have no permanent good effect.
S. S. S. goes to the fountain-head of the trouble
PURELY VEGETABLE an(i healthy flesh are formed, and soon the sore 01
ulcer is cured.
If you have a sore or ulcer, that is slow in healing do not depend upon local application u
alone ; remember it may develop cancerous tendencies, and the only way to effect a cure is to
purify your blood with S. S. S. This medicine possesses the finest of tonic properties that
build up and strengthen the entire system and in every way assists in bringing about a prompt
and certain cure. To sum the matter up purify your blood and the sore will heal of its
own accord. Special book on Sores and Ulcers and any special medical advice desired will
be furnished without charge to all who write. '

IOWA TRACK PE0SPECTS BETTES
Sqnad Hampered by Lack of Quarters
for Indoor Work.
IOWA CITY, Feb. 29. (Special.) 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. Bimonds, the high school
champion of two year ago, will run the
low hurdle for Iowa, and , I looked to
for at least 0:2b
The best race of the meet will be be
tween Miller of Iowa and Turner of Grin
nell. In the IJD-yard dash. Miller is the
Iowa captain this year, and will graduaU
In June. In the Jumps. Itenshaw, last sea
son' winner of the broad jump, with
Unger and Burkhclmer, are expected to
take most of the points, and Hanlon aud

matters which are keeping the sore of ulcer open. 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.

BAD SORE FROM AN OLD WOUND.
I want to recommend 8. S. 8. to any who are in
need of a blood purifier, and especially aa a remedy
for sorea and obstinate ulcere. In 1877 I had my
leg badly out on the sharp edge of a barrel, and
haying on a blue woolen atooking, the place was
badly poisoned from the dye. 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.
