Owing to the late start that the Badger crewa got thla aeaaon. Coach Ten Eyck Issued orders to the crew men to stay here over the vacation. They were taken out on lake Mendota twloe a day, once In the morning and then again In the afternoon. v"The most remarkable Improvement noted haa been that of the first freshman crow. The men are now rowing in good form and are just aa well balanced aa the one that captured ths'honora In the eaat last spring. Their rowing haa caused the coach to com pliment them on aeveral occasiona and with Coach Ten Eyck that means a great deal. Men la tha Boats.

NEW YORK, April 18.-The announce ment from the headquarter Of the Eng- . lUh. Olympic committee that the Immense stadium at Shepherds Bush is virtually complete and will be ready for the first of the- preliminary meets within the next month haa been received with considerable satisfaction by the athletlo authorities in this country. For a time the construction of the mammoth amphitheater . did not progress as smoothly aa had been expected. and It waa feared that the flrat of the eventa planned for the stadium would have to be postponed. The early spring In Eng- land, however, haa permitted the work to be rushed and the contractors are well within their schedule time, ao that no further difficulty is anticipated and the long program of preliminary and try-out events will be run off , without a hitch. Many new fates will e seen on the American Olympic team. Not only are new men expected to represent the eaat In the track and field eventa, but many athletes . of renown lu the west will . be given ' chance, to strive for honors. It la the first . time that the west haa been given an op portunity to show full strength, as the best men will be selected by the results of the tryouts. The American team will undoubtedly be . the best ever sent across the water, and many new inc ana jieia records are looked for at the gamea From the present outlook America appear to have the ehort distance events safely cinched, while Eng land Is conceded some of the long-distance races. England expects to win the mile and two-mile runs, ten-mile walk and tug-of-war. The 100, S0 and yard rune should go to the Americana on form, with the half-mile a doubtful proposition. key; rules Fca water polo C'haaae la tiaato Made Necessary by some af tao Preeeat Roast Practices. NEW YORK, April 18. -The proposed change In the rule governing water polo Is opposed by a large majority of tha swimmers who take part la the sport. The laxity of the referee In the enforcement Of the rule la largely responsible for the squabble that frequently occur In the na tatotium of the athletlo cluba where the game la played. In the recent competition tor the National Amateur Athletlo union water polo championship, pUyed In tha New York Athletic club tank, one of the Mercury foot team waa auspended for unnecessary roughness and brutality. The cry went up at once for reform and re- tion of the playing rules. Reason has sufplanu-d the excited Imagination, arid It is row generally admitted that had Re lire James li. Sterrett ci foived the rule tho unpleasant Incident wuuld not bavo To the casual spectator water polo savors u! brutality. The men who play the game are trained for years to It, and are a much .t bums in the water as on land, and the fci-c.iitd brutal holds are merely wrestling unts apilud to water pno. Eastern play era have long been advocating a Amateur . AtUil- VU-iuU ! tUill la a ctauiiuutialilo gam there shall not be les than six feet of water In any part of the playing area, nd the matter wa finally brought before the championship committee of the Ama teur Athletlo union last fall. Unfortunately, Everett C Brown of the Chicago Amateur Athletlo union, who Is a member of the committee, opposed the motion, on the ground that It wa Impossible to have six feet of water In the pool of the Chicago Amateur Athletic union, and hi plea caused the recommendation to be rejected. With deep water and a strict referee, the preeent rule are quite equal to excluding dangeroua work altogether. The two team n the recent protested game have) never had any trouble In deep water, nor when Walter Poyce of Brookllne referred, al though they have met a number of tlmea. But In the two game In which the tank had a shallow end, and the referee waa at II lenient, squabble and rough work marred the playing throughout. The matche between the college have been the feature of the aquatic season ever since It wa taken up by 'varalty athletes, nd this I the first Instance of trouble among club player tht year, although nearly fifty team have been busily en gaged In the gamea since October. It ha been auggeeted a remedy that championship game be confined to deep water; select as referee men who will strictly enforce tho rale; eliminate goal Jadgea selected by the team, and Instead have only one at each goal appointed by tho Amateur Athletlo union, whose duties It ahall be to call the attention of the re feree to the foul a In thla way It I as serted that the game can be kept clean. A strict and efficient referee, either In foot ball, hockey, lacrosse, basket ball or water polo, can ao penalise player for the least offense a to eliminate every vestige of unfair or rough work. DEMABEST TO PLAY AT HEW YOKK Details of tbe Amateur Billiard Tear aameat Hot Settled. NEW YORK, April ll-Details of the In ternational amateur billiard championship were definitely settled recently at a meet ing of the committee In charge, held In the tilcderkrms club. Ijuclen de Rolle, the great French amateur, representing the French federation, will probably be the only foreign entry In tha tournament. Which begins Tuesday night, April St, In the concert hall of the club. It la certain that at least four of the top class Americans, Including Calvin De- marest, the wonderful young champion. and Charles F. Conklln, both of Chicago, Edward W. Gardner of Passaic and J, Ferdinand Poggenburg of thla city will represent America. Wilson P. Foss may also enter. The last four named are all former amateur champions. Under the agreement between the ama teur governing body In this country and Ccmte de Dree of the French federation the matches will be decided at 18.2 balk line, each match to be of 400 points. This will be a. decided trnovatlon, and it will remain to bo seen whether the Americana can create records such as Demarest haa accomplished In the reoent 113 tournament In Chicago. The same elaborate arrangements will be made by the Uederkrans club as In their former holding of the successful ama teur tournaments In this country. The tournament In itaelf will mark the begin ning of international relatione for the first time in a branch of amateur sport that haa attracted- considerable Interest during the lt two years.

KEPT OPEN BY BAD BLOOD WhencVer a sore refuses to heal, it is because of bad blood. If the place existed simply because the flesh was diseased at that particular spot, It would be an easy matter to apply some remedy directly to the ulcer that would kill the germ; or the diseased flesh might be removed by a surgical operation and a cure effected. But the very fact that old sores resist every form of local or external treatment, and even return after being cut away, shows that back of them is a morbid cause which must be removed before a cure can result. The Impurities in the blood which keep old sores open, come from different causes. A long spell of debilitating sickness, which breeds disease germs In the system, is a common source. These morbid impur ities get into the circulation, and the blood becomes a polluted, infectious fluid, which, instead of nourishing the fibres and tissues of the flesh, irritates and ulcerates them, and continually discharges its impurities into the open sore, and prevents the place from healing. Another cause for bad blood is the retention, in the system of the refuse and waste matters of the body. Those members whose duty it is to carry off the useless accumulations, become dull and slug gish in their action and leave their work imperfectly done, and this fer menting matter is absorbed into the circulation. The weakening or polluting of this vital fluid may also come from the results of some con stitutional disease, while persons who are born with an hereditary blood taint are very apt to be afflicted with sores. Local or external applications can not cure an old sore, because they do not reach the blood. Such treatment may reduce the inflammation, lessen the pain and discharge, and tend to keep the place clean, but it can do no real good toward effecting a. permanent cure. S. S. S. cures sores and ulcers by purifying the blood. It removes every impurity and taint from the circulation, and completely does away with the . cause. When S. S. S. has cleansed the blood, the sore PURELY VEGETABLE an absolutely safe medicine for persons of any age. Under the purifying and tonic effects of S. S.
