o BLOOD poison
In no other disease Is a thorough cleansing of the blood more necessary
than in Contagions Blood Toison. The least particle of this insidious viru
ill multiply in the circulation and so thoroughly contaminate the blood
that no part of the body will be exempt from the ravages of thi powerful
disease. Usually the first symptom is a little sore or ulcer, insignificant In
Itself, but soon the blood becomes so contaminated that the mouth and throat
ulcerate, plands in the proin swell, hair and eye-brows crime out, copper
colored spot9 appear on the body, and frequently sores and ulcers break out
on the flesh to humiliate the sufferer. S. S. S. cures Contagious Blood Poison
by purifying the circulation. It attacks the disease in the right way by goinj;
dawn into the circulation, neutralizing and forcing out every particle of the
poison, and mating this fluid pure, fresh and health-sustaining. The im
provement commences as soon as the patient gets under the influence of
S. S. S., and continues until every trace of the disease is removed from the
Mood, and the sufferer completely restored to health. Not one particle of
the poison is left for future out-breaks after S. S. S. ha9 purged and purified
the blood. Book on the home treatment of this disease and any medical auvice

Description of affair sporting, both
oral end written, have their own peculiar
etymology, are as full of technical expres
sions as any branch of art or science.
They are, however, more widely tinder
stood, are nearer to the hearts of thoso In
terested and are for the most part slang)'.
I'tit such technical words as base and bat
tery and steal In base ball, punt In foot
ball, service In tennis, and msny others In
other lines of athletics are not slang; they
are sul generis quite proper and cultivated,
and could not be dispensed with. As for
the many expressions that partake of the
nature of out and . out slang, they are
mostly apt and pithy, though there- are
some forced, slang expressions that are
mere cant. There Is clever slang and
coarse slang.
Two of the most Interesting points In
connection wtlh the numerous coined
words and expressions In sports are their
origin and their fitness. Where and how
do they originate? It would be hard to
find a question harder to answer. The man
who first used a certain slang word might
know, but even he wouldn't be sure that
somebody else hadn't given voice to It
before him. In any event, there Is an ex
pressiveness about the words that lures
one on to the temptation of dropping into
slang In preference to purity of speech.
Then, again, he who deals much with
sports often Is hard put to it for synonyms
and finds himself sliding into the use of
the ever changing lingo of slang.
Base ball Is the most prolific sport In
devising words of Its own. Most of the
best slang If any slang can be called good
originates with the players themselves,
and the appropriateness of their expres
sions frequently is little less than a gift.
What could express the meaning more
explicitly than "putting It over In a
groove" when telling how a pitcher sends
up the sort of ball the batter likes? The
patois of the diamond changes arm into
whip or wing, and the veriest novice Isn't
in doubt long as to what these words
mean, so well do they describe the anatom
ical member aforementioned.
"Glass arm" for lame arm and "Charley
horse" for a strained tendon are as old a
the hills, but the reason for the latter is
not as clear as for the former. One con
veys the meaning Intended,, the other is
meaningless. "Pegging" the ball across
the diamond instead of throwing it is an
expression of which ball players are very
fond, and which is confined almost en
tirely to them. It and "booting 'em," for
fumbling and kicking around a ground ball,
tell what they are intended to tell clearly,
albeit they do lack elegance. The ball
player means no irreverence when ha
epeakj of "angels," but is moved by his
natural bent to seek the picturesque. "An
gels" thus tcchincally used are clouds In a
blue sky, and they are a relief for the eyes
of the player when looking up into the
shimmering blue' to gauge the flight of a
fly ball. The course of the ball Is easier
to Judge when there are a few fleecy
clouds about. - ,
Some batters "choke" their bat Willie
Keeler for Instance. They grab It consider
ably above, the handle, take It around the
neck, as It were, in a way that suggests
choking. That expression originated In the
alert mind of some player, whereas the lay
man would v have sought for weeks for a
word as pat. The expression "hit the hay"
for going to bed has become widespread,
but ball players were using It several years
ago. "Slants" and "bendeVs" were the out
growth of the desire for versatility of speech,
the reaching out for a vocabulary that
would afford a change from the constant
use of the word curves. Curves, by the
way, is used in a twofold sense. It has Its
technical meaning, when the ball really
does curve, and also Is used in a general
sense, that Is to describe a pitcher's service
In its entirety.
Eveiybody know that the "pea" and
the "pellet" and the "marble" and the
"pill" and the "globule" and the "bulb"
mean the ball.. Singularly enough when
there are a dozen slang terms for the ball,
there are practically none for the bat.
Just good, plain bat it la with no variation
except stick. "Fungo" is an ancient expres
sion to describe knocking out fly balls
and not much heard nowadays. It Is not
strictly slang, being an accepted term in
base ball as much as muff and steal.
When a player make a clean, graceful,
easy throw that gets there ahead of the
runner he "arches" It over and there is
a touch of the poetic about that expres
sion. There are players with whom the
word "bean" for head has about aupplanted
the latter word under certain circum
stances. Take it when a player Is hit on
tho head by a pitched ball. To say he
gets hit on the bean Is couching it in
cogent If not refined phraseology. "His
umpa" for the umpire originated in the
rar ks and has. not spread to the cranks
as has "bumps" to mean a pitcher is being
hit hard.
"Give it a ride, old boy," when sung out
by a coacher, is a command to hit it far
and hard and the expression is appealing.
It has been taken up by golfers to mean
a long drive. "Get a pi era of It" and
"take a bite of it" ara also suggestions to
the batter, but smack more of the vul
gar. "Break up tha game" means any
thing but break up the game,' and the ex
pression did not percolate through the In
telligence of the fans as rapidly as some
others. It took tha same time to compre
hend that spoiling tha game was not
meant, but what was meant waa to put
through aome play ay a three bagger
with the bases filled which would play
havoc with the chances of the other side.
Tha expression is one of considerable range.
"Signed up" for single Is a recent addition
to the base ball language and Is verbosity
pure and simple.
Football isn't nearly as prqllflc in words
of Its own as base ball and doesn't always
show the same discernment in using what
It has. A peculiarity of foot ball terms
that wouldn't be pardonable in base ball
Is the Indiscriminate use of the words
"muff and "fumble." They are used InJer
changeabiy and without any reason for
doing ao. A dropped punt Is referred to
both as a fumble and a muff, when It
ought to be called a muff and nothing else.
"Fumble" should be confined to Juggling
a pass or a ball rolled along the ground.
An expressive slang word In football Is
"smear". A man who gets through the
other aide's line snd smashes a pluy before
he gets started "smear" tha play. Also a
player who geta banged up and Incapact
ated 1 "smeared,"
Before rough work in foot ball wa re
duced to a minimum. by tha new rulea thera
wa a very effective expression for a very
effective play known as "give hha the
smoke." When a player gave another tha
emoke h stuck out his hand to ward off a
tackier, the fingers of the band pointing
straight at tha oncoming player, and all
stiff and spread out. It wasn't an Inviting
object for an opposing face to run Into
The fingers resnmbled a bunch of cigsrs;
hence giving tha smoke. "Interference"
usM In a rertaln sense, 1 Indigenous to
foot hall. This Is when It means helping
the runner by bumping off opposing tack-
lets. It really Is assistance. Instead of
Interference. The word Js also used In the
regular way In foot ball. There Is Inter
ference which actually Is Interference-
Interference with an opponent when he Is
shout to put the ball In play and for which
there Is a penalty. Thus the sama word
means two widely different things.
Billiards hss Its recognised technical
terms, such aa "Knallsh"" or "twist" and
carom. "Execution." as applied to billiards,
Is Idiomatic. It means the ability to count
from shot to shot, sblllty to execute the
Immediate shot without reference to posi
tion. A "natural" in blllards is a term
used In the three cushion game and is
what it implies, a shot that naturally would
bo made by taking three cushions. Safety
playing Is variously designated ns "oil,"
"grease," and "medicine." The terms are
not entirely appropriate. Grease, oil and
medlclno usually imply the use of some
thing to help along, to facilitate. In bil
liards they mean leaving the balls In dif
ficult. position for the opponent, and Just
tho reverse of facilitating.
There has been endless discussion In bil
liards as to the use of the expressions
1S!2 and W:l in balk and line playing. Somo
experts contending that Instead of 18:2 It
ought tn be 1S:1 and instead of 18:1 it
ought to be 1:0. Fortunately, however,
common sense prevailed and these latter
terms did not become the vogue. There
could bo no such a game as 18 Inch balk
line, no shot In, for the simple reason
that If there were no shot In there would
bo no game unless all the players werj
done with the balls in the ' center space.
The dlscusion arose over different mean
ings given to the word "thot," some de
claring that a "shot" was not completed
until the balls had ceased rolling. The
dlctlonsry defines a "shot" as a "stroke,
especially In certain games, as billiards."
Nobody will deny that two strokes in or
one stroke In, as the case may be, are al
lowed in the two games, unless he wants
to f-pllt hairs still finer and contend that
stroke and count are synonymous. Tolnt
and count are not synonymous with shot.
Tho inventive genius of the billiard player
hit upon the apt expression "body cngltsh,"
to signify the rooting with the body that
a player Involuntarily does on a close shot.
"Feather" In rowing to denote the adjust
ment of tho oar blddes when out of the
water ia familiar to everybody. Likewise
nearly everybody who knows anything
about rowing knows what the "catch" is;
but "bucketing" and the "lap" are less
familiar terms and are confined to the
experts. When a man Is "bucketing" he
Is lifting his blade from the water at an
anglo Instead of taking it out straight and
clean. He hoists water like a bucket, with
the slanting blade, and the water splashes
against the oar blads of his adjacent oars
man. The "lap" Is the distance between
the ripple made by the bow oar on taking
the water and the one made by the stroke
oar on leaving the water. Coaches pay
keen attention to the lap because by It
they can tell how fast the boat Is mov
ing. "Lengthening out" is a rowing Idiom
to mean increasing the stroke end to
'kick" is to make Improper use of the
tide.
Hockey hasn't much In the way of a vo
cabulary of Its own making, though it is
the only sort that has a "puck." There is
dribbling" both In hockey and In associa
tion foot ball. It means practically the
fame thing, trundling the puck or ball
along the ground with the stick or foot.
What else but that could "dribble" mean
when you come to think of It? When the
athlete speaks of "evens" he means even
time, ten seconds, the standard of time
by which a sprinter's ability to go 100
yards Is measured.
Nowhere but In golf are the words "sty
mie," "stance," "niblick," "putt" and kin
dred terms of the links found. Their use
is legitimate, and they are not to be classed
as slang. The slang of the prize ring
hasn't the local color of that of base ball.
It Is a broader and commoner slang and
without the subtlety of meaning. The rac
ing man in making use of one of his most
frequent yet distinctive expressions Juggles
with propositions. He doesn't win on a
raca or bet on a race, but wins "to" the
ace or beta 1100 "to" the race. Again bis
Jargon is likely to be a matter of tense.
It's "I win" or "I lose" with him, not "I
won" or "I lost."
Yachting Is full of technical terms which,
as in golf, are Greek to the layman; but
to the landlubber the oddest ot all is
calling a rope a sheet. The landlubber
thinka this Is peculiar because af rope
Isn't a sheet. The "crease" in cricket fills
the bill nicely and Is a pertinent collo
quialism. The "nine," the "seven," the
"eleven," the 4ight" and the "five," used
respectively to denote the combinations of
men in baseball, hockey, foot ball, rowing
and basket bail, have the merit of brevity
and of conveying; their meaning without
further ado. The) basket ball folks, how
ever, not content to let well enough alone,
devised the unloved word, "quint," short
for quintet and not nearly as expressive as
"five."
By way of addenda there is the "wallop"
for both base ball and pugilism and of
allied meaning; tho "scratch" in billiards
and pool, meaning the chance ot lucky
shot and also the pocketing of the cue
ball, which is anything but lucky; tha
"Texas leaguer" In baseball, meaning the
dinkey little fly that falls safe Just beyond
the Infield and a grotesque expression
which is unfair to Texas, and the "blngle,"
which Is pregnant with meaning because It
sounds like a base hit.

Chlraao'a Well Was Basket Ball Vic
torr Minor Sport Champion- ,
ship In (iraeral Aroaae
Interest.
In view of the result of the basket ball
series for the national Intercollegiate cham
pionship won by Chlrngo, there may be re
called something In this column in January,
when a comparison was made of the college
teams of the two sections. At thai time It
wss said, "There hns been a decided Im
provement 'In the present season in thr
quality of basket ball aa played in the col
leges of the middle west, so much so ns to
call for wonderment;" also, regarding an
east against west series, "now. however
thero is more than a little suspicion that
the western teams would come off very
well In such a competition."
It is as well that the Pennsylvania and
Chicago teams were able to meet this
season, tho Intercollegiate SasKct Fall
league having been shelved for a season.
Tlio chances sre that It will bo a long thus
beforo play In the league Is resumed, be
cause the feeling In many colleges Is
strongly against the "championship" In
every form of sport. There Is practically
no chance for a champion team any more,
anyway, so the whole system Is foolish.
That Is to say. granted that a big college
team wins all the games on Its schedule In
base ball or foot ball, how can It even then
be called the champion team, except by ls
admirers? It is permitted to the admirer
of some other team which' the so-called
champion did not meet to conjecture that if
his team had met the other the title would
have paascd. Anyway, tho comparative
score plays a part in foot ball doling, and
that Is used frequently to reason out that
the champion really Isn't.
As for college base ball It Is absolutely
impossible to figure out the really best team
In a collego season, because some small
college Irtho southwest that Isn't heard of
here may have a topm able to trim Har
vard, Yale, Princeton, Pennsylvania, Cor
nell and tho others and then cry formore.
That may happen, so until there Is a na
tional league of college base ball clubs it is
rather difficult to award a championship.
Many Championships.
That has "been a great trouble with col
lege sports. There always has to be a
champion something or other team and
from tho moment that minor snorts, so-
called, began to be anything but minor the
Interest in them was heightened by the
formation of championship leagties. There
are championships In basket ball, gymnas
tics, wrestling, fencing, swimming, water
polo, soccer, foot ball, lawn tennis, golf
hockey, lacrosso and others. Many of these
championship leagues owe their formation
to some such benevolent spirit as this: A
college particularly strong for a certain
year In a certain minor sport conceives the
Idea of writing to some other college or col
leges which support teams of the kind to
suggest making up a league. This Is done
to the greater glory of tho college with the
strongest team. That, of course, Is not the
invariable way, but in many cases It Is so.
Whenever a championship is In question
the game loses some of Its sporting ele-"
ment. There Is a little too much at stake
and a consequent temptation to evade rules.
Thus, for Instance, some colleges which
have the freshman rule have In times past
arranged so that this rule would not apply
to certain varsity minor sports. This is
merely a type of the damage playing for a
championship is likely to cause. Whether
there should be championships at all is a
question that is open to argument where
the major sports are concerned. It does
appear, in any event, that the holding of
league ' series competitions for titles in
every sport is not a thing that will do the
best for the interests of college athletics.
West I Learns Fast.
However, to return to the recently played
basket ball championship. In the games
between Pennsylvania and Chicago it was
proved conclusively (list the west has
learned. In the game In the Bartlettt gym
nasium the easterners were, of course, at a
disadvantage. They had to contend with
shooting at baskets with glass backs, which
naturally made It hard to gauge the flight
and direction of thi ball. They were
treated, too, to a very different style of
play from that to which they had been accustomed.
The Chicago men have developed the
system of putting the bulk of the aggres
sive work in a game on the guards. Judged
from the description given by Pennsyl
vania players. The forwards have been
taught to loaf under tho opponent's basket
to take a long pass there. The Chicago
guards were exceptionally good and were
able to take care of the Pennsylvania for
wards, and they did manage to get In the
long passes, according to program, very
often. The short passing and dribbling
game of Pennsylvania the western men
handled with greater success than any
other college the Red and Blue met earlier
In tho season.
Individual Star.
In the first game Keinath, the leading
scorer of the eastern players, did not make
a goal from the field. Page, the great
Chicago guard, a fit candidate for an all
America team, attended to that. The best
Keinath could do was to msske twelve out
of fourteen goals from the foul line. Keen
had he made the other two the game still
would have been Chtcago'a. The excuse. If,
it may be called an excuse', made on behalf
of the Pennsylvania men in that first game
was that McNichol. the regular center,
was 111 and unable to play. For that rea
son a cloud la thrown on the work of
Bchommer, the Chicago center and captain,
who In tha firat game scored four baskets
from the floor, making eight of Chicago's
21 points by doing so. Kelfaber, who op
posed Bchommer, made a basket. Speer,
who was supposed to gusrd Falls, had two
baskets made against Mm, but made a
basket himself. Fslls made seven out of
fifteen tries from the foul line. The score
waa 31 to V In favor of Chicago, the bulk
of the scoring of actual field goals being
strongly In favor of the westerners.
In the east against wiest series Falls,
the left forward 6t the CTilcago team, did
the best scoring. He led with three field
goals and seventeen baskets from the foul
line, making a total uf 23 points. Krlnulh.
thank chiefly td Ills nineteen goals from
the foul lino, had altogether 21 points.
Bchommer made 13 points, all nit goals
from the floor, I'age, Harris and Hoffman
of the Chicago team did not score In the
series. The six l'enns I vanlans who took

ABOUT ADVERTISING X0. 9.
If It Fits You Wear
This Cap
By HERBERT KAUFMAN.
Advertising isn't a erucilile with which 'nzy, bigoted and in
capable merchants can turn incompetency into success but one
into which brains aud tenacity and courage can bo poured and
changed into dollars. It is only a R.'iort cut across the fields not
a moving platform; You can't "get there" without "going some."
It's a game in which the worker not tho shirker gets rich.
Hy its measurement every man ttands for what he is and for
what ho does, not for what he was and what he did.
- Every day in the advertising world is another day and has to
be taken care of with tire same energy as iH yesterday.
The quitter can't survive where the plugger has the ghost of
a chance.
Advertising doesn't take tho place of business talent or busi
ness management. It simply tells what the business is nnd how it
is managed. The snob whose father created and who is content
to live on what was handed to him can't stand up against the
man who knows ho must build for himself.
"What makes you think that you are entitled to prosper as
well as a competitor who works twice as hard for his prosperity?
Why should as many people come to your store us patronize
a shop that makes an endeavor to get their trade and shows them
that it is worth while to come to ifs doors?
Why should a newspaper send as many customers to you in
half the time it look to fill an establishment which advertised
twice m long und paid twice as much money for its publicity!
This is the day when the best man wins after he proves that
he is the best man when the best store wins, when it has shown
that it is the best store when the best goods win, after they've
been demonstrated to be the best goods. n
Jf you want the plum you can't get it by lying under the tree
with your mouth open waiting for it to drop too many other men
are willing to climb out on tho limb mid risk their necks in their
eagerness to get it away from' you.
It is a man's game this advertising ju.t hanging on and
tugging and straining all the time to get anil keep ahead. It is
the finite expression of the law of competition which sits in blind
folded justice over the markets of the world.
